How likely are you to recommend Dr. Befikadu?
Dr. Befikadu is an exceptional provider. He took care of my aunt who was his patient at Shady Grove before she transitioned to hospice. Dr. Befikadu called me daily to provide updates on my aunt's medical status and to answer any and all questions that I had about her treatment. He worked with me as a partner in planning the best care for my aunt. Here he was, a physician with likely hundreds of patients and families but DAILY he took the time to call me. He worked with me to get my aunt into the hospice center that she desired. I told him that he was so appreciated and that I was so thankful that my aunt had him. He helped me to honor my aunt's wishes to end dialysis and transition. Thank you Dr. Befikadu! Sincerely, Niece of L. Allen
