Jim Valentine
"Ist Impression: Felt good about the doctor and the time he took with me. Office staff: I felt frustrated with the way they were so negative about insurance and that was discouraging. However, once we got the approval, the staff worked quicky to get my surgery date. Now that I am Post-Op, I can give a good rundown on their office. Dr. Valentine is a caring and humerous person. He has a knack of putting you at ease the moment that he enters. I felt convident in his ability and his tone of voice shows that I am his focus and concern at that moment. He's a wonderful surgeon. However, it is not just the doctor that makes a good practice. His staff, especially his P.A. are the best! Working hand in hand with the doctor, they make you feel that you truly are important. Like Dr. V, they show concern for your well-being, compassion when you're in pain or anxious and an eagerness to be helpful. The P.A.'s are quick to respond to your concerns and the nurses are great too. Here, at this office, you are not just another number but a person! That is the best thing about their office. I would recommend him to anyone."

Mercy Medical Center
"At Mercy: overall there were some wonderful staff who really showed that they cared. These staff were excellant at their jobs. However, there a few who were so indifferent to overshadow the good ones. There were too many times that I had to wait for help when it was very important for me to be able to go to the bathroom. When I would not get a response, then I would have to disconnect myself from the various things to go. I just gave up on calling for help and did it myself. This worked fine for me cause I was determined and strong but this could have been very dangerous for someone weak and unbalanced. I would ask for something, be told that they would get it and not see or hear from anyone for awhile. However, those nurses who were excellant and caring should not be ignored. Their loving care made a big difference in my recovery. I appreciate all that they did to help me."
