"This hospital would have been excellent if not for a couple things. 1) There were a couple nurses that didn't seem to care about me as a patient. The one actually made a couple of rude sarcastic remarks/questions. 2) They need to know more about the medication cause I held off 2 days using a pain medication that didn't help only because they said it was a pill. When finally ordered they found out it was liquid. 3) They had some staffing problems and one day I didn't see anyone for 4 hours and I waited 3 hours for pain meds and didn't get my sleeping med until after 11pm."
"Dr. Mark was very personable. Great bedside manner. He spent lots of time with my husband & I. He was surprised that I was as informed as I was, (THANKS TO THIS WEBSITE). I asked important questions and was very much at ease with him. That is decent since I have been suffering from social phobia since May. I even had the chance to tell him about this site and he asked me to email him the address and I did. Thanks to this site I was able to review what others had to say about him first. He is simply fantastic!! He stressed the aftercare of eating the right things. His program is all clear liquids for 2 weeks, then soft foods for 4 weeks and then in the 6th week going to normal food. He said he encourages his patients to try as many different foods to see what they tolerate and what they don't. He addressed all the risks involved. I am particularly worried about blook clots and he does use an anticlotting medication before and after surgery. The only thing I didn't like about my visit was the rectal exam. YUCK!!"
