"Even though I didn't have the surgry on 7/29/08, but the hospital & my doctor felt my life & safety was more important than continuing. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone who is in need of hospitalization. From check in to check out, I was treated with respect...even by the nurse that had did not have a good bedside manner. I will be anxiously awaiting when I can update this review after I have been rescheduled for my lapband surgery."

Ki H. Oh

"My surgeon is absolutely wonderful and so is his assistant Dr. Hirahi. My first impression of Dr. Oh is that he is a very serious person. He knows what he is doing and expects a lot from his patients. He is not in to wasting his or your time. I read some of his other patients comments on him. They all said that he doesn't have a good bedside manner. Well, I disagree. My surgery was scheduled for 7/29/08 and I didn't make it past the OR. Once in the OR and put to sleep, that was as far as they could go. The breathing tube would not go in and I spiked a very high grade fever. So, for my safety, they had to bring me too without having the surgery. Dr. Oh & Dr. Hirahi came to my side prior to going to perform another surgery and they were great. Both were very comforting and letting me know that it was not over with, and that I would have the surgery once my Pulmonologist gave me the \"All Clear\". This just makes me want to have them as my surgeons. I am looking forward to continue working with them because I know they are on my side and that they want me to succeed."
