Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a complex condition influenced by factors including gut-brain interaction, diet and gut microbiome. In this video, Dr. Saad Haque, Director of Gastroenterology, explains how stress and IBS are connected.

Congratulations to our most recent Cherry Blossom Award winner, Sawaati K., for her exceptional care and professionalism: 💬 “My grandfather was experiencing extremely challenging digestive issues that demanded attentive, specialized and compassionate support. Our family witnessed the kind of care that elevates the patient experience to a truly extraordinary level. What set Ms. Sawaati apart was her unwavering dedication. Not once did she show hesitation or frustration, even in the face of difficult tasks and frequent calls. She arrived promptly and consistently, ensuring that my grandfather remained as comfortable as possible. Most importantly Ms. Sawaati cared for my grandfather more than just a patient. Through her empathy, dignity, and compassion, she restored in him a sense of self that has been slipping away amidst the stress and embarrassment of his condition. Her efforts truly embody the 1% of patient care that the staff at VHC Health continually strive to achieve. She did not simply meet expectations; she exceeded them, demonstrating the highest standards of professionalism, skill, and compassion. Her actions have left an indelible mark on our family’s hearts and set a shining example of what it means to provide genuinely exceptional care."
