Dr. Poterack’s patients.
PETITION FOR DR POTERACK:
As parents with children that are patients of Dr Catherine Poterack we would like to inform you of the egregious mistake you are making by not renewing her contract. She is an asset to your establishment and from a business perspective you will likely lose many patients. None of her patients were informed of this decision by Mad River Hospital Administration, and instead found out through a Facebook post. This was an unprofessional decision. We should have received a letter of notification so that we could voice our dismay and persuade administration to reconsider renewing her contract.

Dr Poterack has a rapport with her patients and their parents. We (parents) trust Dr Poterack and have total confidence that she is providing our children with the highest quality care. She is a true professional that has a respectful and courteous bedside manner, as well as 30+ years of experience as a pediatrician. It is virtually impossible to find doctors like Catherine Poterack that listen to their patients, instead of belittling them as if they do not know their own bodies. She is very passionate about what she does which is evident in her interactions with our children, as well as with us (parents). We have no doubt that she genuinely cares about our children which gives us immense peace of mind that our kids are in excellent hands. Many of us are worried who our children will see now and will follow Dr Poterack to her new place of employment.

We highly recommend and urge you to reconsider this erroneous decision. This petition signifies that this will not be lucrative for your institution.
