I had a procedure done here in February, and all in all it was a good experience. From the time of check in to the time I was brought back to the OR everything transitioned smoothly for the most part. There were a few bumps along the way but nothing major. The nurse that took me back didn t have such a great attitude at the beginning. That changed once I got an attitude back with her. The biggest issue I had was the fact one of the nurses (Nanette F.) who came in to place my IV completely ignored me the first two times I requested her not to place an IV in my hand. I had to ask her a third time with the anesthesiologist in the room to not place it there before she would listen. This is one of my biggest pet peeves as a nurse myself, is not listening to your patients. Other than that, the experience was great, multiple people came in from the anesthesiologist, OR RN, CRNA, and the surgeon to double and triple check information for accuracy. The anesthesiologist and CRNA had great bedside manner, they eased any nerves I or my husband may have had just by their demeanor. The recovery nurse was great from what I could remember, she made sure I was comfortable and checked on me frequently.
