Shanu N. Kothari
"The PA, Chris, was layed back. When I finally met Dr Kothari, I was very impressed with the time he took to help me to understand everything and answer all my questions. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Kothari and his staff. They CARE. And you can't say that about too many doctors now days."

"The first thing that was a little upsetting was that before I was put on the patient controlled meds, it took forever to get the pain meds. I would hit the call button, 10 min later the nursing assistant came in, she went to tell the nurse, who then came in to see what 'level' of pain I was at, then go check my chart, and another 15 minutes later I'd get the medication. By then the pain had really taken hold. Then I finally got that wonderful button and I'm so glad they pinned it to me - I always knew where it was and had a pretty good day that day. The second thing that was upsetting was that there were times I wasn't able to find the nurse button so I had to just be at their mercy to decide to check on me (I had a private room). I felt they needed to be a little more pro-active. The last thing that was upsetting was that on the last morning I was there, I soiled myself thinking it was gas. Anyway the toilet in my room was flanked by the wall on one side and the sink on another. There was no room at all to clean myself. The nurse made an attempt to clean the surface but that was not near enough. Thirty minutes later they said how would you like to go home... I made it happen within the hour! I wanted out of there so badly that I left the soiled gown and a beautiful card and Mother Book that my daughter gave me. The only good thing I can say about the experience is that the surgery is over with and Gunderson actually mailed my gown (still soiled), card and book to me. I'm so glad Dr. Kothari's staff is nothing like this!"
