Did outpatient surgery for my sons circ with Dr. Apgar. He did a fabulous job and gave directions very clearly. He made me feel comfortable to ask any questions about the procedure. Thank you Dr. Apgar and team!
My wife had outpatient surgery here this week and I was so impressed with the professionalism of the staff, nurses and doctors who are clearly 100% dedicated to a high level of patient care. With all the anxiety that comes with surgery, the team's positivity and attentiveness to my wife and I were so appreciated. I really can't praise them enough!
I had a D&C performed today by my OB. I was asked to arrive at 7 am and my procedure promptly started at 8 am. I went home by 9:45. It was a very smooth experience. Now, this was my very first time going under general anesthesia. The reason for my four stars are because I was quite nervous about having this procedure. My husband stayed in the waiting area, but I would have preferred him by my side during the pre-op experience. I changed into my gown and once my IV and BP monitors were hooked, I waited until the anesthesiologist and OB came to talk to me. During that time, my husband being by my side would have been comforting, but I put my big girl panties on, prayed and hoped for the best. Now that Covid restrictions aren't limited, I think family members should be allowed to be with us during the pre-op in my opinion and would have made this experience a 5 stars. Once taken back, the mask was placed on my face and I was out immediately and woke up in my recovery room. The nurse offered me water and allowed me to get some rest. She also called my husband immediately to let him know everything went well and brought him back to my room. Overall, a wonderful experience. I would def recommend them to others and return for future procedures. Be aware, there's paid parking (max $10) in the garage.
