Excellent experience. Pre and post care great. They keep you up to date and on track to easily progress through the phases up to, through and after surgery. Hospital was great with cleanliness and everyone did hand hygiene as well as wearing appropriate gloves, etc for protection. Excellent infection control measures. The coordinators followed up in the hospital and after discharge. The nutritionist did as well. The medications were explained.

They were so easy to talk to to set up everything. The hospital was so nice and clean. All the hospital staff were friendly and if you needed anything they were right there. They did an awesome job checking up on you and making sure you had your medicine. I would recommend this place to anyone. If you’re on the fence about getting the procedure just do it.
