Review of Norman Parathyroid Center

Procedure went great, I instantly felt relief in my hands, knuckles and toes. The pins and needles in my feet was gone, this has been ongoing for a couple years. The staff was very professional and answered all questions thoroughly. We had to be at the hospital at 0730 and was not taken back until noon. I thought this was a bit excess of a wait. Surprised that no pain medicine was prescribed for recovery. When I asked one of the doctors, he was quick to reply"we aren't drug pushers". The center is proud that they haven't prescribed pain medicine in over 10 years, kudos but not all patients are alike. A week after surgery I am still dealing with pain, I was told by the doctor that I had significant neck muscles they had to cut through. The 6 hour ride home the next day was difficult, OTC meds didn't cut it. I think the policy of no prescription pain meds should be considered on a case by case basis.
Overall, very happy with the results so far, disappointed with patient post surgery care and comfort for managing pain.
