"The only complaint I have is that on two occasions when I needed assistance getting up to go to the restroom, the gal at the nurses desk did not get my nurse to help me and I ended up doing it myself which frightened me a little. Otherwise, the nurses themselves were REALLY sweet and caring gals who take good care of their patients! I had a private room for the first time and although there ARE those times when they're waking you up at 2 am for some test or another, I was fairly well rested during my time in. I even had a couple of sponge baths, which I thought would be humiliating but found to be VERY relaxing!! I would recommend this facility to others!"

"Dr. Trombetta is part of Dr. Preston Carter's team at Madigan Army Hospital. Awesome guy, very forthright. Have only met with him one time so far so I'll edit as time passes. Office staff are very pleasant folks especially the nurses. Funny gals and I feel very comfortable with being seen by them. After care is very important to the docs at Madigan and they made sure I was very clear on how big this surgery is and how much my life will change. They have a nice handout package they gave me to educate me more about the surgery and also to give the names of some support groups in the area. Overall I rate Dr. Carter's team as tops but again, I have only had the first meetings with them so I will add more as time allows. Took them a long time to respond to my calls..about 7 weeks altogether. The end result worried me because I started getting assertive about getting a response and I thought it would upset the docs. They took it in stride and reassured me that they understood my position and would have reacted the same way. Apologetic and kind. I'm looking forward to getting to meet Dr. Carter face to face. He has great phone presence LOL. Wanted to add that Dr. Carter called me one year post op to check up on me and discuss some issues that were taking place with me. I now live in Kentucky and while he did not have to do so, it meant SO MUCH that he took the time out of his schedule to do this. I owe him so much and am very thankful that I had such a tremendous surgeon watching over me during my procedure. I would definitely see him again in a heartbeat! "

"I loved the staff at Madigan. I had excellent nurses caring for me from beginning to end, my surgeons were extremely responsive to my needs and went above and beyond to track down a mystery infection. I would absolutely go back to Madigan for care without a moments hesitation. I am forever in their debt for helping me change my life."
