“Dear Dr. Gold, thank you so much for hosting us during this rotation. It was a valuable educational experience and I got to learn in settings I haven’t worked before. I was nervous at first but your kindness has helped me feel so welcome at Vero Beach. My only regret is I didn’t get to work with you more often, but I will definitely be recommending this rotation to many students in the future.”

“Dear Dr. Gold, may this letter serve as a thank you, for your work with our son. I assume you don’t always hear about what ensues once patients leave from your services, but I wanted to update you. My son attributes being able to talk to you as a defining time to work toward and accomplish many of his goals. He may find his way back to your office one day…but right now he is feeling empowered in navigating his own way. When he came to you at UF for psychiatric and psychological services he was depressed, anxious and suffering from an inertia…not sure how to navigate his future wearing the cloak of Aspergers Syndrome and its often-difficult symptoms. And as parents, we were at a loss how to help him as well. Goals were developed…simple ones, yet important. Volunteering at the Humane Society, working towards a driver’s license. Now, he is 4 classes away from graduating with his Associate’s degree, he is taking a full load and has switched his major from Biology to Math. He is currently on the Dean’s list. He successfully got his driver’s license and also bought a reliable car. He wants to continue on with his BS in Math. On his own, he has been earning different computer source codes, and has finished developing a small app for computers/phones. He is working towards learning more coding, with the goal of doing some work for a local software company. He has been swimming on a regular basis and loves to experiment with baking breads, Yep, bread! But most important…he is happy. Sure there are, and will continue to be, bumps in the road, but he is really learning to navigate them with a presence and a grace….and a sense of empowerment. His story will continue to unfold, but I wanted to thank you, you may not have known it…but you have truly made a difference.”
