Patient
I recently had a procedure done at this hospital and was impressed with the doctors and staff. After the procedure, I went to recovery for awhile and then to the overnight recovery for observation for that night. I was very impressed with the staff at the overnight recovery area, especially nurse John Riley. John was very professional, efficient and friendly. I mentioned to him I had some things I needed to do the following day and would like to be released as early as possible the next day. The next day when John started his early morning shift, he told me he would work on getting me out as soon as possible. John kept me informed and said based on the house doctor's visit and my doctor's visit, I should be getting out by 11am and to tell my wife to be there around that time to pick me up. At approximately 10:30am, John came in my room with the release paperwork and we were out the door at 11am. Now I know John is at the mercy of the doctor's and their schedules, but the fact that he tried to coordinate that effort and keep me posted was above and beyond. I want to recognize John for an outstanding job. I also want to recognize Karla, Emily and Joanne for their professionalism and friendly attitude while doing their jobs. All excellent employees.
