Outstanding in Every Aspect!
PATIENT: “Captain Ken W.
Sung to the tune of The Beverly Hillbilly’s: Come and listen to a story and it won’t be dumb, It’s about Dr. Wolock and my trigger finger thumb, Dr. said “Hey Ken, you’ll have surgery at Three, But I got there early and they were nice as they could be.… Well the first thing you know, there were forms to be filled out I knew of Dr. Wolock so I really had no doubt, I was taken back to pre-op just as speedy as can be, and that is when his staff began to dote and care for me. Well, Dr. Wolock stopped by to address any concern, He answered all my questions, always nice & never stern, He said “HEY KEN” , It’s your turn in O.R.1, And before I knew it, my surgery was done. The Post Op team with compassion & with care , Saw to my every need, every moment I was there, They escorted me out, true professionals to the end, I know I was a patient but I felt more like a friend. Well now it’s time to rest up, no need to moan and groan, the phone rang several times , The Doctor checked on me at home, Such a high level of care, for an average guy like me, I bet you’ll get the same great care, you heard it straight from me… Ken that is….healing fast, Great Care! For those who are of a more serious nature: Outstanding in every aspect. Talk about professional…these folks rolled out the red carpet service treatment for me and I could not be more satisfied with my care!!! Read more “Outstanding in Every Aspect!”
