When Christopher Gabriel, host of one of Fresno’s top morning radio shows, started experiencing sharp knee pain, he knew it was time to see Dr. Peter Simonian here at Clovis Community Medical Center. The diagnosis: a torn meniscus that would need surgery.
Like many patients, Christopher felt some nerves heading into his procedure, until he met his care team. Two nurses in particular, Augustine and Teresita, who happen to be twin sisters, made all the difference. Their warmth and attentiveness helped him feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
Six months later, Christopher was back at Clovis Community for surgery on his other knee. This time, familiar faces made the experience feel like a reunion rather than a repeat.
Today, Christopher is back on air every morning with zero knee pain, and he even gave his care team a special shoutout live on his show.
We’re so grateful to have team members like Augustine and Teresita, who turn every patient’s experience into one of comfort, care and confidence. 🫶👏
