“He’s a great OB doctor,” Mattingly wrote of Dr. Basel. “Very good with his patients and understanding. Always has a smile on his face. Makes you feel welcome.”
In addition to receiving her prize, Mattingly presented Dr. Basel with a certificate of appreciation in a celebration at his office in early April.
National Doctors’ Day is celebrated annually on March 30, the anniversary of the day in 1842 that anesthesia was first administered to a patient.
