Learn MoreThe team is awesome. From check-in to discharge everyone was great and I could tell they all liked working together. I could not have asked for a better experience or a more professional and caring team. Renee, Anna, Kim & Sharon were awesome. I don't remember too much about the OR Team, and that is a good thing!!!
The entire staff was amazing. From Sharon to Shannon, Anna and Brian!! They took such amazing care of me! This is the 2nd time there and ot was just as fabulous as the 1st. Thank you!
I wanted to thank the staff at mvhsc for their handling of my rotator cuff surgery. All were very welcoming and supportive which helped ease my mind going into surgery. Juliette provided support throughout creating a personal bond with me which proved reassuring. All the staff were very proficient and operated in a kind manner including Reyna, Jacqueline and Joseph leading into the surgery and Deanna in recovery. Really appreciated the follow-up call by Shannon after the surgery. Just really top-notch. Shout out to Drs. Choy and Tradonsky and tech Brian for the handling of the surgery itself. Couldn't have come out of it any better. And considering how bad the tears were (100% for the supra, 50% for the infra) I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you everyone!
All of the staff, from clerks to nurses, were patient and kind to everyone. They took time for each person, listening to them and explaining things as needed. I'm sure they have to explain the same thing many times every day, but they did it very lovingly.
