Learn MoreGreat place. Everyone was kind, friendly and caring.
The actual procedure went very well (5 stars). The check-in and care process prior to being moved to the operation room was really poor. I was called in very early, sat in a curtained room without any updates for over an hour with a drip in my arm. Eventually I opened the curtain and had to shout for a nurse. It turns out I’d been forgotten. So 2 issues: 1. Why bring in a patient and have them on a drip with no access to a phone or any other entertainment when the doctor is running late 2. If a patient is sat in a room for an extended period, don’t forget about them! Give them updates on what’s happening
My experience with the entire staff, from check-in until being assisted to my car following the procedures was excellent! Dr. Reddy and the Anesthetist explained, in detail, what was going to take place during the procedures and they both spoke with me afterwards! I felt very well cared for and would recommend this office to anyone needing their services! 100% professional Thank you!!
I don’t like that they don’t allow family member to go back with patient. They have no system to update you about your loved one while you are in the waiting room. You are also not present when they Dr talks to patient after procedure. I have been to another facility with a different Dr and this was not the case.
