"She had an easy smile, but not at the cost of her professionalism, a friendly demeanor yet strong diagnostic skills, the ability to think quickly and make decisions under pressure, and yet somehow still have excellent communication and interpersonal skills."
“I hope you don’t have to visit any ER, but if you do find yourself at Monmouth Medical Center, I hope you meet Dr. Elizabeth Gilman, and you will be assured, as we were, that wonderful emergency care is alive and well in N.J.”
