    PATIENT STORIES

    I had surgery on 10/3. Dr. Whipple was attentive, explained everything. The staff in the ambulatory surgery are all attentive and personable. They work hard and do a great job.
    – Maureen M.
    I always get a thorough evaluation, an explanation of my symptoms and what my treatment options are. I never feel as if I'm being hurried through my evaluation. Dr. Alfred took the time to listen and answer my questions.
    – Robert G.
    It has been three weeks since my shoulder surgery and the treatment and service received has been excellent. From the admissions staff to all the surgical staff, everyone has been very cordial and professional. Dr. Whipple was well recommended to me and after meeting with him the first time, it was easy to see why. The surgery went very well, and to-date, my rehabilitation is progressing nicely. I am very grateful to all.
    – Daniel M.
    Dr. Shatynski is efficient without rushing, so he stays on schedule while giving each patient the time they need and deserve. His approach to diagnostics is prudent, ordering high-tech imaging only when appropriate. I particularly like that he dictates his chart notes while with the patient, which adds to his efficiency while capturing detail while fresh in his mind, as well as sharing with the patient what is going in the chart.
    – Karen K.
    Yesterday I had my second surgery for tendonitis (ring finger, left hand). Last April I had three fingers done on my right hand. Dr. Zanaros was very thorough and always asked if I had any questions. The facility is superb - clean and well-organized. I am always seen on time and given the best of care by all of the attending staff. And I do appreciate the follow-up phone call the day after my surgery.
    – Linda T.
