Help Us Thank Our Doctors National Doctors’ Day, celebrated on March 30, is a day that honors physicians for the work they do for their patients, the communities they work in, and for society as a whole. To thank our doctors, we are putting together a special video to be used on social media. Send a video (no more than 5 seconds) of you or your team saying the words “thank you” to ema@excelahealth.org before end of business day March 25. When taking the video, please hold your phone so that it is landscape, not portrait.

“Dr. Masterson is such a compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough doctor. I've been to a multitude of specialists since my accident and none of them made me feel as relaxed and truly cared for like Dr. Masterson. I have never once felt rushed during my visit. Dr. Masterson takes his time and answers all my questions, along with explaining everything thoroughly. He's an amazing doctor and it's nice to know that I'm in the best hands.”
