"I think this hospital could use some orginization. The staff and nurses for the most part were very supportive and caring. I would like to give a special thanks to Nurse Francis (male nurse), he seemed to always give that little extra in caring for me."
"I have not had surgery yet, but am confident it will happen soon. Dr. Cook was personable and caring. He took great care in explaining the surgery options and the surgery itself.
I liked his honest and sincere approach. He laid it all out to me, the risks, the pain, the hospital stay, and of course my responsibilities.
He strongly emphasizes after care and has the support tools in place to provide that care whether the care is medical or emotional.
Dr. Cook seems a fine surgeon. I think I'll reserve an overall rating until after he's done cutting on me (hehe).
Well, he's done cutting on me, and I was right he is a fine surgeon(7-14-04). I did have a couple of external bleeders that were troublesome that kept me in the hospital a few extra days. I felt very little pain, except in my left shoulder after the surgery.
I had lap rny. I got out today(7-19-04)and already have noticed a general improvement to my overall health.
