First time patient at Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center having a salpingectomy. Outside of waiting in the office lobby for 30 minutes my overall experience was great. The nurse who stood out the most was Sunny. She is kind hearted, funny, personable and just a beautiful person inside and out. read more

I highly recommend this out patient surgery center. From the minute I walked in to being the last patient "walking out" each and every nurse, aide, doctors were fabulous. They truly cared how I was doing. Special Thank-you from the bottom of my heart to Annette and Teresa. As I said I was the last patient to leave. They made sure I was ok and strong enough to leave,I so much appreciate them. Thank you to all the staff !!! I even got a call the next day to make sure I was doing well. read more

I had a hip replacement done at Posada by Dr. Sima this week. It was a very positive experience. Arrived at 6;30, was prepped and in the operating room by 7:30, recovered and home by 1:00. On several occasions over the next couple days they called to check on me, The procedure was easy and the staff are excellent. They are kind, attentive, and thorough in their duties. If I ever have further need of any orthopedic procedure in the future my only choice is Dr. Sima and done at Posada. read more

I had surgery there today. My first time there. I wanted to say thank you for the entire staff at that surgery center. They're so kindhearted, compassionate, nice people and a privilege to have them help me. read more

Hip replacement done last week by Dr. Sima. I have many thanks to all the staff for your kind and skilled help. Your calming gentleness, friendliness, and carefulness was noted and appreciated. I really appreciated the care taken with the warm blanket! The friendly conversation and appropriate humor was noticed and enjoyed. This applies to all I came in contact with. The continuing prepping was carefully explained and the next thing I was aware of was trying to wake up. Lots of help, humor, encouragement, and patience! Then to the checkout area. Courteous privacy while I dressed to go home. Then a thorough question and answer, expectations and cautions. I checked in about 9:30 and was carefully escorted out to my truck about 3:00. Excellent care and attention from door to door. Dr. Sima replaced my other hip 6 years ago and I am looking forward to being sound again. I am so thankful to have access to a state of the art surgery center with the best of everything. Many thanks. read more

I was patient at Posada Amb Surgery Center today, May 16. My care from check-in to discharge was phenomenal.. a 10* experience. Nurses: Alison, & Lynette :(only got 2 names) took great care of me. They were professional, thorough, cheerful and sympathetic to my needs. Also they didn't seem to mind my humor. Dr's: Blaney & Jones (Anesth) were also great. I felt safe and at ease in their hands. It was all over so quickly. One moment I was chatting with staff, next thing I know its all over and i had zero pain! The souvenir they gave me: PlasmaFlo VTS sleeves was like cake & ice cream (lactose free). Wow! unexpected and appreciated. I happen to be using and the ice pack (of good quality) resting on my groin as I type. No need to drive the grade, for surgical needs and wants too, go to Posada you'l be glad you did. It was nice to see a photo of Dr Sima on the wall.. quite distinguished looking i must say. Thank you all at Posada Surg Center for awesome care! read more

Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center - chillin' pain free with souvenirs post surgery while watching KSBY. - Doctors Near Me - Templeton, California

Had RH hip replacement surgery by Dr Sima. was at the facility for about 6 hours and was able to walk after post-op recovery and even carefully climb the stairs when I got home. Cannot say enough about the professional, informative and caring service provided by everyone involved. Highly recommend this facility and especially Dr Sima. read more

Had hip replacement surgery about a week ago. Professional and courteous staff. Very impressive business operation. The only complaint I have is that when the front desk asked me to sign forms, one of them was virtually blank. I don't want to sign blank forms (for obvious reasons). I mentioned that to the front desk person and she said "You have to sign them." There was enough info on the form that I did sign it, but don't ask your customers to sign blank forms. Overall, a great place. read more

The staff here is amazing. From the reception nurses all the way to the pre op and post op staff! All the nurses were very caring and friendly. read more

What a wonderful office! Jennifer, Bill, Kim and David are the nicest group! I highly recommend if you want a great medical team!

So this place is a total Show. I was dressed out ready to go then the nurse says i dont qualify to have surgery here because of my "BMI" . Hello you knew what I weighed before I went in. It was embarrassing and now I'm in pain read more

I had my left hip replaced 3 weeks ago by Dr Sima at his surgical center on Posada Lane in Templeton. Dr Sima is an outstanding surgeon who uses the superior anterior approach for hip replacements. Everything about this hip replacement experience was efficient and patient friendly. Both the office and OR staff were welcoming and helpful in all aspects of the procedure. They were very attentive to my comfort before and after the operation. Amazingly, I arrived at 6:30 AM and was home before noon. Both Dr Sima and his staff followed up that day with phone calls to check on me. I just went in for my post op exam that went very well. I am walking 2 miles a day and riding a stationary cycle 30-69 minutes a day. Dr Sima has released me to continue my normal activities including cycling. Overall, this was an exceptional experience and I highly recommend Dr Sima and the Posada Surgical Center to anyone needing joint replacements. read more

My out-patient shoulder surgery went ok; was eventually sucessful -- after the anesthesiologist crushed my uvula during intubation. Moreover, the Posada nursing staff put "PlasmaFlow anti-DVT Pneumatic Compression Devices (PCDs) on my legs. They led me to believe the devices would be covered by my Medicare and supplemental insurance. They aren't! 11 months (!) after the surgery I've been billed $98 for the PCDs by "Texas Artificial Limb Labs". A non-informed, non-consentual rip-off! Who at Posada is making money on these "accessories" that aren't covered by insurance? read more

The staff doesn't know what the left or right hand is doing. The only reason my husband and I used the Posada Center was because it was urgent. My husband had surgery there and they didn't even read his chart - he is on chemo and is diabetic. WHY DO I FILL OUT ALL THESE FORMS if they don't read them. I would lose my job or sued if I ran my business this way. read more

Thank you for responding to my review. I truly appreciated the personal call after leaving the review. It shows the management team notices & cares about the patients and its reputation. Even more impressive was the follow-up note I received in the mail. That one surprised me, and the message was sincere. Well played. Their response to my critique has been exemplary. Perhaps my stay was the exception, not the norm, but regardless, based on their response I have faith they will make sure the care provided is better from here on out. If I need another surgery in the future, I would be willing to give them another opportunity to regain my trust. This is an organization that listens, and that goes a long way in my book. -lmb read more

I had cataract surgery last week: ALL the staff was so nice and helpful. My thanks goes out to the nurses, MD, anesthesiologist , and everyone I came into contact with! Highly suggest to anyone thinking of having surgery there read more

Our first experience w/an out-patient surgery clinic and overall, I was very pleased. Clean, comfortable waiting area. Plenty of parking. VERY friendly receptionists and billing/office manager. I called a few times before procedure and they were always courteous and answered my many questions about insurance, fees, etc. [I say "OUR first experience" because it was actually my spouse who had the procedure...but I did most of the insurance/appointment/follow-up legwork.] I would've given Posada five stars but there are just a few things that could be improved. For example, the post-op area was large and impressive but they had 3 patients side by side (for convenience, I guess) in beds, separated only by curtains and there was ZERO privacy. Most of the place was empty so they could've spaced people apart a bit. Confidentiality gets tossed out the window when you can hear everything the other doctor/staffers are telling the patient next to you. Also, it was at the end of the work week and the staff "in the back" [not the front office ladies] seemed rushed. Friendly, but in a hurry. I overheard two of them talking about their weekend, one wanted to leave early, etc. I think they forgot there were patients and family members right there in the post-op recovery room. Kind of unprofessional. Finally, the nurse who did the post-op run-through was very friendly but honestly, my spouse was so drugged up that pretty much nothing the nurse said was comprehended. So if you use a out-patient surgery center like Posada, you MUST bring along a non-sedated person who can listen to the nurse, take notes, help you to the car, etc. read more

This place is very professional and amazing. Clean, courteous staff, I was super impressed. I have never had surgery outside of a hospital setting before so I had some trepidation about going to a surgery center. But had read the reviews and trust my doc so, I let it go. As soon as I got there I felt completely at ease. All the nurses are totally amazing, I wish I knew all their names. Just know they're all amazing. I would have surgery there again if needed. Good job Posada read more

I was very impressed with the surgery center. Welcoming knowledgeable staff. Well organized. Clean. Anesthesiologist explanations clear and concise. As a medical professional who has worked in this area I was impressed. The only suggestion I would make is as you are checking in at the front desk to provide the paperwork you need to sign in a private cubicle so the people on the waiting room aren't privy to your personnel information. read more

Very clean and efficient. If you get Melissa Doll as your nurse you'll be so lucky! Incredible treatment and attention.

Only reason we came here in the first place was because this is where Sima does his surgeries. I was quoted HALF of what we ended up owing them for the surgery center portion of the surgery. Even with excellent insurance. The older receptionist is the rudest, most unprofessional woman I have ever encountered in a medical office. Good Lord that woman is awful. I called before the surgery to get an estimate for that portion of the surgery and she acted like I had some nerve asking about that. She was rude when we came in, rude while I waited for my husband's surgery to be over, and was rude when the nurse called me back to sit with my recovering husband and wouldn't let me in the back. Very insensitive, being that I was anxious because my spouse is very sensitive to anesthesia and has had bad reactions. We were both anxious and she didn't help the situation at all. She ended up charging my credit card twice, and when I called about it afterwards she was terribly rude again, claiming she doesn't make those kind of mistakes, even though I let her know I was bringing in a copy of my bank statement. The anesthesiologist was fantastic but the front desk experience ruined it for me. Sorry to say we can't afford surgery for my husband's other knee if Sima does it here. I have discussed this with several other people and have talked to 6 friends/family members who have had similar experiences. It's horrible that people bully patients and their families just because they know they don't have a choice as to where the surgery happens. Just terrible! read more

No one likes to have surgery, but this was the best surgical experience one could have. The prep team was just that; a team. Watching them work was inspiring. Everyone knew their jobs, and they were very efficient- but still managed to take the time to really assess my needs. This procedure was a repeat of a similar surgery I had done a couple years ago at a nearby hospital. The difference was night-and-day, favoring Posada in every way. Concerns I raised were addressed immediately, and changes were made to the procedure which made my recovery much easier. The knowledge, skill, camaraderie and team-spirit here are unmatched. Bravo Posada; keep doing what you're doing! read more

Everyone, starting with Sheril in the front office, to RN Janine who prepped me for surgery, and Dave (I think that was his name) transporting me to surgery, Dr. Curby Jenkins, anesthesiologist who was thorough and calming, to Dr. William Sima, who did a wonderful job of correcting a problem with my foot...it was a pleasure. I hope I don't have any more surgeries, but if I do I, hope they will be done at this surgery center. read more

Excellent care, clean and orderly, staff was so nice, and medical support/doctor provided excellent care. Would not hesitate to go back. I even received a refund that I did not even know I was due. Wow. They took excellent care of my underage daughter. read more
