Glad I chose them

They always listen carefully. They take time to talk to me and genuinely care about my recovery and well being.

1. When the physical therapist took me to the PT room, 3 family members or friends were sitting in the chairs watching while the 4th person (fully dressed) was learning the stairs. I was in my hospital gown with nothing underneath though the PT was holding it in the back. All those people immediately started watching me though they did leave the PT room shortly after. It was very uncomfortable. 2. I felt I received good nursing care except for pain management from the RN on both days. It seemed she didn't want to "overdo" giving that to me. 3. The OT told me the RN would give me a second pair of the edema wear at discharge so that I could wash a pair and let them air dry and put on the other pair. The RN said no, they never do that. I just said that was what the OT told me. If you never do that then I would have had to wear the "dirty" ones every day, or go without while they air dry. She left the room and returned with a second pair though they are a little too short.

Thank you, for everything ! Thanks to Dr. Kumagai for listening and understanding what was wrong with my back, hip, and knee, I can move and walk and live again after years of pain. I can get out with my dog and work on my farm and appreciate the outdoors again. Thank you to everyone in the office.
