I took a header while surfing in New Zealand. I wasn't getting better when I arrived in Oahu so I decided to get some medical attention. I went to Pali Momi.

From the moment I walked into the ER at Pali Momi, I was treated extremely well. Everyone from the nurses, doctor, x-ray techs and orderlies were so comforting and friendly. Turns out I fractured my C7 vertebrae. They took care of my immediate medical needs and set me straight until I got back home on the mainland.

I was so surprised when a few days after my visit to Pali Momi, I received a call from my nurse, Erwin, checking in to see how I was doing. Just today, a little over 2 weeks after my visit, I received a call from Dr. Lily Gallagher, the doc that saw me, to check in on how I was feeling and if I saw an Orthopedic specialist.

In my 46 years on this planet, I have never received this level of care and attention from any hospital, and I've been to some of the best hospitals in California.

Thank you so much Erwin and Dr. Gallagher for making me feel reassured during such a scary situation. I wish I could remember the other folks' names that helped me during my short stay. They were all great!

Much love and aloha.
