I had my gallbladder removed here and had the best experience! Everybody was super friendly and very attentive. Everything from the sweet nurses that chatted with me through the pre-op, the kind anesthesiologist, and the surgeon himself was very professional and made me feel like they honestly cared about me. Special thanks to Ms. Kara, Ms. Amy, and Dr. Zee for everything you did!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Surgeon John T. Johnson and his staff and nurses are probably the kindest folks I've ever run across in a medical setting. If you want to be educated about your condition, and have the best people working on your behalf, make an appointment at The Surgical Center of Morehead City. From the receptionist to the anesthesiologist, this place and it's team are top notch. They are always on time, follow strict Covid rules, and make your visit their priority. Highly recommend.
Had last cataract surgery with great success.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of knee pain in adults over 50. By age 70, about 27 percent of adults have knee osteoarthritis. Some common symptoms include swelling, loss of mobility, stiffness and chronic pain.
According to the World Health Organization, 80 percent of children’s UV exposure occurs before turning 18. If this is true, why aren’t more kids wearing sunglasses?
Why is colonoscopy known as the gold standard for colon cancer prevention? It is because colonoscopy can detect and prevent colon cancer in a single test.
Everyone was very friendly, courteous, and professional. I had to wait longer than expected for the procedure because of an emergency. However all went well during the process and I was very impressed with everyone there.
