The stuff to drink is terrible! They sell it for $95. It’s better than buying at pharmacy $175! Anyway, check in was quick and easy. Very nice receptionist. The woman who brought me to my bed was also very nice. She has blond curly hair and I’m guessing she’s a MA. My nurse was Karen. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant person. Very good at inserting IV on my hand with only feeling the initial prick. The nurse anesthesiologist and the OR [?] nurse introduced themselves and what their job was. Dr Patel seems to be a knowledgeable dr in his field, for reasons I won’t explain. I’m so glad it’s over with! I would recommend Dr Patel to anyone who asks.
As always the friendliest and most professional experience.
