Multi Security: Excellent Privacy: Excellent Pain Medication: Excellent
Quiet: Excellent Visiting: Excellent Staff Responsive: Excellent
Parking: Excellent
How Selected: My surgeon used to work exclusively at California Pacific Medical Center in SF but started performing surgery at the Greenbrae surgery center, allowing patients to go home right out of recovery!
Competitors: The surgery center was great. Efficient, clean, organized. It was fantastic to have my procedure done as an outpatient and not have to be in a "hospital" setting.
Comments: Everyone was terrific. The anesthesiologist was super nice and very competent, the reception staff were really nice, the nurses were phenomenal. I am an RN myself so I was evaluating the entire experience from a medical point of view and I found it to be excellent. They followed safety measures and confidentiality perfectly. They were very informative, tended to my pre-op anxiety and questions and were so nice when I woke up and managed my pain immediately. A very well run surgery center which I would highly recommend.
