I had surgery here yesterday and couldn’t be more pleased! The staff were ALL awesome from check-in to prep to the procedure to recovery and the exit process. They were all caring and attentive. Even though it was New Year’s Eve and I could sense some excitement about a pending three-day holiday, everyone did her job beautifully! I will definitely use the Surgery Center of Allentown again!

My experience from start to end was perfect. The staff and nurses were very friendly, supportive, and understanding. They understood I was scared and they truly took very good care of me. I would recommend this place to everyone...Dr. Mcdaid, thank you. My god bless you and protect you so you can keep helping other patients get better.
