I can't remember what her name was unfortunately but she was the sweetest woman ever and took such good care of me. I'm a little embarrassed because I was so out of it with the anesthesia that I could barely move my jaw and I think I was arguing with her about getting up and leaving so I really hope she reads this because I am so sorry and you are genuinely the nicest nurse ever! Literally made for the job! And thank you for helping me get my necklace back when it fell off. I knew better than to wear it in but I was nervous and I'm so grateful to you for getting it back to me. The front desk lady was also so sweet to me. With dr Owens, I saw some negative reviews about him and got a little nervous to be honest but I kind of think he's just misunderstood. He's got a very dry sense of humor but he's a nice man and a very good surgeon (in my very minor surgical experience. If you're having something more serious done, I can't speak on that). He told me that even though I've only had a severe gallstone attack once (when I discovered I have stones) that I should get it removed anyway because it will happen again and it can be risky. Plus, I have insurance right now. He chatted with me a bit about my school as I'm an MRI student and came in wearing my scrubs. When I got to the surgery center, everyone that would be working on me came to talk to me before the surgery and let me ask questions. I also went from waiting room to operating room in about 45 minutes I believe. Very quick and I'm very grateful I wasn't left nervous for a long time. Also, they let me get a photo of my gallbladder when it was out. Not important but I was thrilled. I don't think I should post it here because I mean, it is still an organ. For anyone getting a laparoscopic cholecystectomy since there are no specific reviews on it: I was glued shut and my 4 incisions, healed up very well. I have my follow up in a couple days to check in but the pain was minimal and the cuts now look like gnarly cat scratches that are healing. The glue is hanging on for dear life though. They use CO2 gas to inflate your abdomen so they do warn you of gas pain that can't really be resolved by the pain killers and that's pretty unpleasant. My shoulder hurt for a few days post-op but a rotation of heating pads and ice packs helped a lot. My incisions didn't really hurt much. They itch a little now that they're healing and the top one over my stomach would hurt a bit here and there. Also, the anesthesia is rough! I woke up and could barely move. I thought I've experienced anesthesia but this was definitely the deeper sleep the anesthesiologist mentioned. Anyway, overall I was sore for a few days and I slept a lot but I felt almost perfect within a week.

I wanted to give my son time to completely recover from a full blown open heart surgery, back on Aug. 25th, 2022. It is now going on 4 months. He has slowly but surely come back from such a life-changing experience. Dr. Howe, it is with heartfelt respect and admiration, that I come on this social platform, to greet you, and your colleagues for the utmost professionalism and love you displayed for my family and I, during one of our most terrifying moments. How does one repay a human being, for saving his life?? There are no real words to define on YELP, what you mean to us. Our son is alive because of you. Born with a bicuspid heart valve, you and your team, went to work and did everything humanly ( beyond human ) possible to explain to us, and our son, what had to be done. 5/2/23 Dr. Howe, you are an amazing Surgeon. I hesitated to post this for fear of not being able to convey, to the general public, how special a man you are. Words cannot EVER define how thankful we are for you. Our son has returned to work, and is in the best health. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

As I was…read moreleaving he said if you have an emergency before your surgery, call our office and head to the hospital and we will let them know you are coming. So of course on a Friday evening I had a major attack. I called their office after hours and left a message. I prayed I would make it to the hospital as it was in San Diego, an hour drive. Within about 15 minutes Dr. Burgess called back as he was on call that weekend. He assured me that the hospital knew that I was on my way and that he would take care of everything. He even engaged Dr Schultzel that evening. Dr Burgess performed my surgery and did a fantastic job. He calmed my nerves before surgery with confidence and useful information on what to expect afterward. I recently had shoulder surgery and was concerned about the after surgery gas pain so many people talk about in the shoulder area. He reassured me that he tried to remove as much as he can during surgery. I had zero pain from the gas. It is NOT possible to find a better surgeon. Dr. Burgess is hands down, the best. Also he is humble and not arrogant like so many other surgeons can be. Thank you Dr Burgess for your care.

Worst experience ever !!!!…read more My experience with Dr. Essien was terrible from start to finish. From the initial consultation, he was dismissive, rude, and unwilling to listen to my concerns. Talking to him felt like talking to a brick wall--he showed no interest in addressing my questions or making me feel comfortable about the procedure. Things only got worse on the day of my surgery. The scheduled time was changed twice, and when I finally arrived at the hospital, I was informed that my procedure would likely be delayed by 2-3 hours, possibly longer. When I asked the staff if this was normal, they confirmed that delays like this are very common with him. I took a day off work for this, and my girlfriend had to do the same to drive me. Not only was this a massive inconvenience, but I also had to fast for 14 hours, only to have my time completely wasted. Dr. Essien's lack of professionalism and respect for his patients' time is unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and find a doctor who values their patients.

The food was really good and delicious. Everything was great with the exception of the room. I was in the older building and the room was quite small with no place to put anything.
