Samkon Gado, M.D.
2018: 3rd Quarter Humanistic Healing Award Recipient
Gado is a true advocate for each patient he sees. He has excellent bedside manner and delivers holistic, innovative, and spiritual care through his outreach to Nigeria and for the patients of our community. Gado saw a patient with nasal complaints and took the time to provide routine care and explain the dangers of chronic daily opioid use. He personally accompanied a patient to the hospital for admission and took additional time to speak with the family of a disabled patient who needed extra attention for recurrent nosebleeds.
