"Dr. Lilly is fantastic and so is most of the staff. The only problem I had was the woman who oversaw my initial intake and prep.. She was cold,mean and rude. I waited in the cold with no way to warm myself under a sheet for over a half an hour before I got taken in for my procedure. Also, there was no explaining in advance as they stuck the port above my wrist near my arthritic thumb for which I’m about to get surgery. I found this very upsetting. Everyone else was great though and Dr. Lilly is fantastic."

"Oh let me just say that my whole experience from my initial phone call I made to set the appointment all the way to when I woke up after my procedure was pleasing. The nurses were polite, patient, informative and friendly. All areas for a patient and their guest were clean and neat. I received friendly phone calls about my upcoming procedure as a reminder and I was explained to by a staff member what to expect before being seen by the doctor. Dr. Lilly spoke with me briefly about what was going to take place during my procedure and he answered any questions he could that I asked. I didn’t feel rushed which I don’t like when that happens. Let’s just say what I can remember before the anesthesia being administered was having a few giggles with the nurses and seeing the doctor come into the room. I was given time to make myself aware of my surroundings once the anesthesia started to ware off. I did not feel any pain out discomfort before or after the procedure."
