I had a major surgery, about 8 hours long. I will try to avoid having surgery in the future there…read more Neither do the doctors or nurses commun icate with the patient. I was given high does of pain medication via IV for several days. The doctors changed my auto refill to on demand refill of my pain meds. I spent days in agony because I was supposed to ask for my pain meds. The only problem is no one told me. Today is my 11th day and over the days time and again I have suffered unnecessarily because my nurse felt they should try using less pain meds !! Again with out telling me. It has just happened again. I was wondering why my pain was growing. I made the choice to stop taking my tylenol # 2 every 6 hours and just take my every dilauded 4 mg every 4 hours. The nurse thought I should only get 2 mg. She did on her own. I had a piece bone removed in my rt leg to replace a apart of my lower jaw bone ( destroyed during radiation therapy, many years ago) I was told today I will not be able to leave the hospital until I can walk in a walking boot. The nurse told me it was in file. They have put it on for me 4 times and every time it cause me excruciating pain, because it puts pressure on my unhealed wound. I have order a knee cart so I can more easily get around; especially in public. This will be my 10th surgery in my life and I am over 70 years old. today I had a heated argument with a nurse. I said after a while lets agree to disagree. She NO your are going to hear me out. I asked 1) please my room she just kept talking and after asking her to leave my room 3 times. she still kept talking so I picked up my phone and told her I was going to call security she finally left. IF I NEED TO GET AN IMPORTANT SURGERY, I WOULD NEVR COME HEAR AGAIN. Now I find out the reason I only got 2mg of dilauded is because they now altered my file from 4 mg to 2-4 mg of dilauded. with out telling me and at the nurse whim and I again had no input. So Now I will ask for my Tylenol 2 every 6 hours.

Its walls echo with whispered prayers, hopes, and the rhythm of life, A refuge where souls intertwine, where destiny weaves its spell. I. The Arrival In the quiet of dawn, a newborn's cry pierces the veil, Tiny fingers grasp at the promise of existence. Saint Joseph's cradles you, a miracle in the arms of nurses, Their touch gentle as the morning breeze, their smiles luminescent. II. The Healing Here, the corridors hum with footsteps of healers, White-coated guardians of hope, stitching wounds and mending hearts. They wield stethoscopes like magic wands, deciphering life's secrets, Their hands, instruments of grace, weaving threads of resilience. III. The Waiting Room Families huddle in the waiting room, hearts suspended, Their breaths syncopated with each tick of the clock. They clutch rosaries, photographs, and whispered promises, Seeking solace in the flicker of candles, the warmth of shared tears. IV. The Chapel Beyond sterile walls, a chapel stands--a haven for weary souls, Its stained glass windows casting kaleidoscopic prayers. Here, faith blooms like lilies, fragrant and unwavering, As whispered petitions rise, seeking solace in the divine. V. The Goodbyes And when the final curtain falls, Saint Joseph's cradles departing souls, Their breaths fading like echoes down dimly lit hallways. Yet hope lingers--a fragile flame in the eyes of grieving families, As they trace their loved ones' names on the memorial wall. VI. The Birthdays But oh, the birthdays! Saint Joseph's rejoices in each one, Balloons dancing in celebration, cupcakes adorned with wishes. The walls remember your first steps, your laughter echoing, A chorus of tiny victories, a testament to life's resilience. VII. The Nightfall As night descends, the hospital breathes--a living entity, Its heartbeat syncopated with the city's pulse. Saint Joseph's, where beginnings and endings entwine, A sacred tapestry woven with threads of courage and love.

The staff are all very good at the clinic. The desk staff is clear with me about my insurance and appointments and provide ample reminders. The hygienist took a detailed account of my dental history and listened to everything I had to say in regards to how procedures make me feel. They explained each step to me without being condescending and took care to prepare me for things that might cause me anxiety. The dental assistants are friendly and informative. During dental work they pay attention to your comfort. I've been to too many dentists where the assistants are banging tools off of my teeth or ripping my lips. These people actually care about your comfort and it shows. Dr Cardieri is a gem of a dentist. She is kind. She is informative. She is efficient. She fixed my teeth with minimal pain and is actually quite pleasant to talk to. Parking is free and usually available. The entire facility is as clean as you would hope a dental office to be. The facility is comfortable and updated. There are screens for the patient to watch a movie during the dental work. They provided me lip balm to use during my dental work so my lips didn't crack (that's huge for me!). If you made it this far in this review, I want you to know that if you've had traumatic dental work in the past due to a negligent dentist, and have anxiety preventing you from going, this dentist is highly worth visiting. Also, they didn't bring me into pointless appointments just to drain my insurance. They're good. Really really good. I am SO happy I made the appointment!
