"The surgery staff was amazing. They were smart and on the ball. I had no reservations on if they really knew their job or not.
I think the staff on the Medical Surgery Floor was sweet and caring. I question their ability to handle any major problems. It just seemed that they weren’t clear headed or thinking. I didn’t have any major problems and the minor problem I did have I complained about 5 times and the charge nurse came in to see if she could help. Joann was amazing!! She was smart, she knew what she was doing, and I had full faith in her.
I did have an incident with a nurse’s aid. I was walking around at about 5am and he had a cup of coffee and held it up to me and laughed and said Starbucks…….. All I need now is a Krispy Kreame donut!!!! I’m not really into starbucks or Krispy Kreame so it didn’t really bother me….. I just found it VERY insensitive. There was also a night nurse that was very lazy!!!!! Oh my goodness was she lazy. She would drop dirty gauze, tape, band-aids, cotton swabs……… you name it and would not pick it up!!! She went to drain my drain and it spilled on the floor, she grabbed a paper towel dropped it on top of the spill and left it there!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW I can be lazy at times but this was just amazing!! It truly floored me!!
I would recommend having a family member spend the first night with you. Just in case you need something, if they drop the ball your family is there to help you and to help push the issues.

"My first impression of Dr. Owens was that he was a quiet man. He isn’t very talkative, but I don’t expect him to be my best friend and sit and gab with me for an hour. He is a very busy man. I believe if I had an hours worth of questions he would have sat and answered them. I feel after the research I have found and the patients I have talked to that I have made the right choice. What I do like is that he is very big on aftercare. After talking with others, aftercae is very important. I'll post more after my surgery.

I saw Dr. Owens again today for my one-week post-op appt. I just wanted to say that he is such a kind and encouraging man. I thoroughly enjoyed my appt. (hee hee me enjoying a Dr. appt.) . He is quiet, but he is also very sweet and caring. I highly recommend him. I have had no complications and the after care is unheard of!!!
