A Caring Dr. At my Dying Bed,

My Name is Eliodoro Contreras Longoria , I am a patient of Dr. Joh Heidrick since 1996 in Bakersfield California . In June 24th of 2020 I broke out with uncontrollable body chills and suffered through he weekend coughing and with fever. Monday the 29th I called Dr. John Hiedrick he walked me through a series of test and counseled me to get to the hospital as soon as possible becuase my oxygen was in the 80's and I could not breath. I ended up staying in the hospital diagnosed with covid for 15 days. Why is this so significant ? during the first five days I was touch and go with my life, being I had had a kidney transplant , had high blood pressure, diabetes and was 66 at the time so I was one of those ,not going to make it Seniors . What gave me strength and courage beside the Lords help , was that Dr. Hiedrick to the time to check on me in the hospital. He was very attentive to my progress and worked closely with my kidney Dr in the supervision of my stay at the hospital. It was then I realized that I was more than a number to him, He made it personal which I believe deserves a standing ovation, I am very proud to say that Dr. John Hendrick is my Doctor. He has seen me through all my sickness since I was 41 yrs old and has walked me through them all. Reducing his cliental to be more effective and available for his patients is a class A move. it shows where his heart is at and how much he loves being a Doctor. He is people oriented his staff is above excellent ,they treat you like family. I wish to nominate him for Dr of the Year !!!! at least in my book he is.. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to express my respect and gratitude For the greatest Dr in my world Dr. John Hendrick .
