TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- Had a procedure done here, the staff superb, amazing bedside manner, friendly to me and my mother, along with great communication from start to finish m- i including preop! Couldn’t have had a better experience! Thank you all who work there you are greatly appreciated!
- Very settling and comfortable before my procedure because of the calming treatment and service I was afforded before going through my treatment by the clerks, techs and especially the nurses and doctors. I had no fear of what was to come because of their care towards me.
- I was informed well of all I needed to do before and the day of surgery and was without confusion. Dr. Bertini did a great job at fixing my problem. I now can walk, exercise, and do other things without having any pain. Everything thing great, and I am very happy!
