5 /5 Brooks Cressman: I had surgery on my foot at the hospital (on Portland Ave) on 1/16 on an outpatient basis. I found the staff to be wonderful, caring, thorough, communicative, and friendly. Someone had entered my name backwards in the system and the nurses quickly had it fixed and new labels made up. I felt very well taken care of and comfortable - which is so important because surgery can be quite anxiety provoking. My surgeon spent time with me before and after the operation, and the anesthesiologist went over everything with me before the procedure. The work to be done was clearly marked on my leg. Several nurses were involved in care and all were friendly, calming, efficient, and thorough. Afterwards, I was in the recovery ward. They brought all my belongings and had them right next to me, brought my choice of something to drink (water), and went over the discharge instructions. They waited to release me until all the discharge procedures were completed, and they were comfortable with my full recovery from anesthesia. Access to and from the hospital was easy. I am very satisfied and recommend the hospital to anyone.
