Clara Maass Medical Center Recognizes “Dear Doctor” Physicians

Belleville, N.J. - Clara Maass Medical Center (CMMC) launched its “Dear Doctor” campaign to celebrate National Doctor's Day. This campaign asked for grateful patients to write “Dear Doctor” letters as a way to thank and recognize CMMC physicians for their outstanding service.

The letters shared personal experiences and stories highlighting the exemplary work put forth by the physicians. Both Drs. Ducey and Femino were cited.

A doctor of general orthopaedics with an emphasis on sports medicine, Dr. Ducey practices medicine with both skill and compassion—traits which are valued by his patients. “During my initial consult with Dr. Ducey I understood why friends and co-workers had confidence in recommending him,” wrote a former patient. “I appreciate not only his skills as a doctor and surgeon, but the care and concern that he and his staff showed for me in my time of need.”

Dr. Femino is a doctor of general orthopedics with an emphasis on adult reconstructive surgery and joint replacement. Dr. Femino heads The Joint & Spine Institute at Clara Maass. His “amazing care and kind ways,” not only helped his patient recover, but motivated his patient to help others through the recovery process as well. “I have nothing but respect and admiration for all of his hard work,” wrote a patient. “I have had such success with my procedures that I now volunteer at The Joint & Spine Institute and I truly enjoy it!”

Those recognized by the 2009 Dear Doctor campaign have touched the lives of many individuals and families. The Clara Maass Medical Center Foundation thanks those that wrote in to express their gratitude and encourages others to participate in the 2010 campaign.
