"It seemed the nursing staff was very short. I was told they would get me up to walk, which they did not do. It also to a very long time to respond to call light (up to 45 mins). They could not find a pillow for me, I had to put blankets under me head!"
"I had heard so many great things about Dr Valin, I was confident with my decision, although I did not meet him until 4 day prior to surgery. I was not overly impressed with my first encounter (for the endoscopy) primarily because I had never seen him before, and there were NO introductions, nor did he ask if I had questions or explain what was happening, and I was pretty nervous/scared. My first office visit with him was brief, but he really is a nice guy and definetly knows what he is doing. I wish the meeting had been a little more thorough, and I wish he had made me feel more comfortable about asking questions. I kinda felt like I was keeping him from something more important! As far as his skills a a surgeon, I am very impressed. I ended up having a more intense surgery, also needing hernia repair, but he did a wonderful job, and my level of pain has been suprisingly low!
His staff is wonderful! They always respond quickly to my questions and concerns!"
