Dr. Kaminsky and the UHS Plastic Surgery Team Receive LOVED Award

Dr. Alexander Kaminsky and his teammates at UHS Plastic Surgery were selected as recipients of the March 2022 UHS LOVED Award. The team was recognized by colleagues after accommodating a child with a painful laceration on their face long after the office closed. After review of more than 50 employee and provider recognition submissions, the team was selected as the most deserving recipients for March's award.

The UHS LOVED Award (Living Our Values Every Day) highlights employees and provider who exemplify our Values of Compassion, Trust, Respect, Teamwork, and Innovation through contributions that improve experiences for our patients, families, and colleagues.

Dr. Kaminsky was recognized by colleagues, Michelle Karades and Erik Jones, who specifically noted the team's display of Compassion and Teamwork.

From the recognition submission:

“In early January, Dr. Alexander Kaminsky and the UHS Plastic Surgery team went above and beyond to accommodate a young child with a painful facial laceration as a result of evening play time with a sibling. Even though he wasn't on call, Dr. Kaminsky offered to see the patient in his office long after the office had closed. Davi Matuszak and Lisa Reitz were instrumental in coordinating between Dr. Kaminsky and the family, who are extremely grateful for the care their little one received from Dr. Kaminsky and UHS Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Kaminsky's willingness to go above and beyond kept this family out of our Emergency Department, which was a tremendous benefit to both the family and our extremely busy Emergency Medicine team. This example of incredible compassion and teamwork set by Dr. Kaminsky, Davi Matuszak, Lisa Reitz, and the UHS Plastic Surgery team is one to be celebrated and to whatever extent possible modeled after.”

Please join us in congratulating the UHS Plastic Surgery Team and Dr. Kaminsky!
