My 12 year old daughter had surgery this week to repair her broken ankle. She had never had anesthesia and was nervous. The staff all went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and get her through her surgery. I highly recommend The Surgery Center!

Excellent staff, all around. Nurses were kind & helpful. Brian, the anesthesiologist, is the best. They are very thorough & explain everything & answer any questions you have. I’ve had 2 surgeries there in the last 4 months. Highly recommend!

All the staff were great except the hateful nurse that attempted 4 times to put my IV in. She was rude and very smart mouthed. I'm glad I didn't get her name. Even her co workers were asking her if she had her self together(they used other terms. I don't remember exact words) I recommend this facility, but if the older nurse with shoulder length, curly, blonde hair comes for you, request another nurse. She is awful. BTW I have great veins and have never had anyone have to stick me more than one time. The other lady had to go to my left hand because my right hand was no good. She stuck me once and done

Two times for same procedure. Schedule you for lunch knowing you are not going to get in for three hours. You time means nothing to them. When the procedure is complete then suddenly their in a hurry load you in the car before the patient even wakes up. The doctor couldn’t be bothered to stop by to inform the spouse as to how the procedure went for either surgery. The discharge nurse said I don’t know I wasn’t in there but I’m sure it went well. Not a happy client but that is the state of the medical profession in general these days.

My 10 yr old son had surgery to repair broken arm. Dr Petit and staff were great with him and us describing what was to happen. They had us in and out within 3 hours which included putting him to sleep, surgery, and recovery. Highly recommend.
