All the medical care was terrific, especially all the nurses, both pre-op and post-op. Only complaint was being 2 1/2 hours behind schedule. Apparently anesthesiologist scheduled got caught in traffic and was quite late. But this had no impact on the quality medical care.

Entire team was amazing! I felt like everyone truly cared about my procedure. Kathy was an awesome nurse. Wish I could remember the name of the nurse in recovery, she was great as well.

The nursing staff is very professional as well as helpful and friendly. Everything was prompt and on schedule. Dr Wertz in the pain management group is excellent.
