My experience was very good. All nurses were professional in their jobs. They made me comfortable through the whole procedure. They explained everything to me prior and during the procedure. There were no issues and my departure was smooth. A nurse made a follow up call the next day to check on me.

From intake to discharge the entire staff were professional and very timely in their response to my needs. As a former and retired hospital administrator I realize the importance of excellent health care delivery. I would like to acknowledge several staff by name for their attentiveness to my needs,Kayla, Heather and OR nurse Sommer along with Dr Van Tassel. I am due for another carpel tunnel surgery in the future and look forward to the same high level of care presented to me.

Great staff. Very professional and friendly. The discharge nurse did rush me out of there after my procedure even though I was still quite groggy from the anesthesia. That was my only complaint.
