"This was the biggest disappointment of my surgery. My roommate was horrible and had visitors all hours, including 1:00 in the morning. Her light and TV stayed on the whole time. Her company was talking crudely in front of me and her phone rang all the time. After rooming with her for 2 days, they moved her as they found out she had TB. This is after I shared restroom facilities with her for 2 days. And they didn't tell me, I heard her doctor telling her that they had to move her to an isolation room because she had TB.
I had to wash myself when I wasn't really able. Once they brought my dinner tray in and left it sitting on the sink. A new roommate who had just came to the hospital, picked it up for me and put it on my bedside tray, or else I would've had to pick it up when I wasn't supposed to be lifting, yet. I informed my doctor and the hospital called me at home for my information, but never followed up. I was concerned if I had TB, etcetera."
"Dr. Needleman is great...although I've only
met him once. He was kind, patient and
gentle. He was way behind on appointments
because he takes as much time as he needs
with each one and does not rush. That is
rare these days, and I for one appreciated it
His staff was nice also.
He told me everything I needed to know,
allowed me to ask anything I wanted to.
But, anyone going there initially should know
that you will more than likely spend a
substantial amount of time there. My
appointment was at 11:30, I was seen by him
at 2:30 and left the office at 3:45, after
my blood work.
He made me feel comfortable. I feel like he
genuinely cares."
