I was at the surgery center 07/16/2020 with my spouse. This place lacks any logical and/or consistent rules. It's whatever they decide to do on the day you happen to be there. We had to wait outside until our exact appointment time before entering the lobby. The lobby was empty but we were not allowed to enter. While standing outside waiting to enter, an employee takes the taped instruction sign off the door and replaces it with a new set of instructions to follow before entering. Upon our eventual entry, the receptionist tells my spouse that she doesn't need the mandatory $10 surgery kit she was forced to buy at the surgeon's office. Deer Creek Surgery Center decided TODAY that it's not needed but did they notify her surgeon? No, he was unaware and surprised when she informed him at her post op visit on 07/17/2020. Multiple patients arrived and were told to put the post op surgery kits in their cars. Deer Creek did not offer to refund the money we spent for a now useless kit that they decided we don't need. Who empowered them to make this decision? Clearly it was not her surgeon. Next, we are asked if the driver is staying in the lobby or sitting in their car, because if the driver enters or exits the lobby more than once, they are concerned about us spreading COVID. More on that to follow. After completing the consent forms (which were out of date and had the wrong quarantine states listed), we were warned in a stern tone to only sit where allowed, as if we can't read the signs taped on the chairs stating, "Don't sit in this chair". It was interesting that after a chair was emptied, the staff never sanitized the vacated chairs and new arrivals sat in them. How can they be so worried about COVID coming in the front door but won't sanitize an empty chair after someone departs? Is the chair magically sanitized by itself? Deer Creek Surgery Center only cares about THEIR convenience and cannot apply a chair disinfectant yet they are so adamant about entering and exiting their lobby and spreading COVID. They are completely random in enforcing safety standards. I sure hope their sanitation/disinfecting routines follow CDC and Kansas KDHE standards in the surgery suites. Have your surgery performed at one of many other competing surgery centers who might care about your health more than Deer Creek's concern for their convenience, not your safety. read more
