I researched the hospital and physician for 9 months prior to my spinal surgery. I spoke with others who had been patients there. As a nurse I knew too much and you know how that can be a stress builder. Through prayer and discernment and an uncanny trust in Dr. O' Leary, who I hardly knew, I went through with it. I describe the whole experience, including pre-admission testing, as a well oiled system. The coordination was phenomenal. I was treated with respect, knowledge and caring through the many health professionals I encountered. I felt safe and secure while there. No infections, not complications say to me that it is a top notch health care facility.
