Check in was easy and we waited 2 minute to be taken back. We had our own room so my family could wait there. Judy, my nurse, was so nice and planned ahead for my needs. Wilma started my IV and I didn t feel it! She numbs it! Kevin Henson was my anesthesia provider and I highly recommend him- he explains everything well and eased my anxiety with informed intellect and genuine care. Dr Beaver is of course the best. Carole and Scottie, my OR nurses were reassuring and made all small comforts - like tucking me in and keeping me modest. My recovery nurse Laurie was smart and funny and made me laugh. I cannot remember my check out nurse but I left smiling and relieved all went well.
I cannot say enough good things about my surgery- I am difficult and critical and it was best case scenario.
My family did say the cafeteria could have been easier to negotiate and the food looked like it had been out too long.
