I would like more quicker time to see you after the surgery. The material says to wait two to three weeks for a call. And so I would like an appointment made when I leave to see somebody within the week. I think that would be fitting.

I also want to thank all the medical staff including surgeons, including the post recovery nurses.

I just wish the person who injected the blue dye in my breast before surgery had been a woman.

Great overall.

Found who I believe is the best surgeon in town if I require one in the future. I did my research and all surgeons are not created equal. This guy outpaced any others in MSP during my research.

Thanks for a job well done!

I have never had a more organized and coordinated experience having surgery. Delays were addressed and explained, every person was friendly and described the process clearly and included my family in the conversation. The best part of the experience was that prescriptions were filled on site and sent home with me as that alleviated a lot of coordination on our part. I was very grateful for all the care and support provided—thanks to your wonderful team!

Ryan O'Donnell got me in with his partner, Irene Sitch, very quickly for Friday morning, mid-afternoon, whichever. But very appreciative that I could get in and get my gallbladder removed. It needed to go and was infected pretty bad and he set me up with her for Friday and I was very happy with that service. Very appreciative to Ryan O'Donnell for getting me in with his partner. Thank you.
