I have just had the most loving and amazing medical treatment in my life. From the time I walked through the doors and was kindly greeted by Esther Hughs until I woke up to the wonderful voice of Donna Hofstetter, I was cared for with warmth. My amazing surgeon was Dr Brennan Collins from Mercy and when I was getting all prepped, Michelle Jondo was positive and upbeat and helped ease the pain. She is going to be a great mom. They were so professional to add to their genuine kindness and Marc Schott my O.R. nurse came out to introduce himself as well. Then walked in a man that I hope I never forget. Sanjay Trivedi... What can I say. I felt like my my father was in the room gently calming my fears and cradling me to sleep. Sanjay really cared about me and my safety and must have put me under perfectly because my body does not like anesthesia but this time I woke up after surgery almost near to feeling refreshed. Esther was patient in explaining the charges which get this... the price for the anesthesiologist and facility were a steal of a deal. It was just a loving and perfect experience. I hope I never need surgery again, but if I do I'm tracking down, Dr B. Collins, Esther, Michelle, Sanjay, Marc and Donna :-) I love you guys!
