Patient Reviews
May 03, 2023
Dr Nathan was friendly and caring. I really felt in good hands. Anesthesiologist Lee is very thorough and so kind. My RN was Liz and I absolutely loved her. Once I was wheeled into the procedure room we started chatting as they were getting everything set. We were all laughing. The next thing I knew I was waking up. If you have to do this, this is the team. I am grateful!
