Review of Riverview Health

My 90 year old mother had to have emergency surger...

My 90 year old mother had to have emergency surgery for a twisted bowel. Very serious and complicated for someone half her age. My sister took her from Westfield to Riverview Health in Noblesville. I am from out of town and had asked to take her somewhere else in Indy.
The very best decision we made was to keep her in Riverview Health. The surgeon Dr Heiser was amazing. He treated her quickly explaining every detail before surgery and after. He was patient with our questions, answering them easily, yet professional to the core, letting us know that he was on top of every issue that might occur. His care after the surgery for our mother was compassionate and caring. All of the ICU staff that we interacted with were ALL very professional, yet compassionate and caring. My mother received the best possible care that she could have had , more so that if she had been at a larger hospital, as I have initially requested. Our family was always treated in a kind and helpful manner even in the cafeteria by the staff working there. I cannot say enough about this hospital, Drs, and staff, and therapists. Best encouraging hospital experience that I have had to deal with in many years.They got Mom up and going and she is doing great at home.
