I have many surgeries throughout my life(unfortunately), never like the one I had Monday with doctor Scott Greenberg, D.O. The team made me feel like I was visiting my friends , they talk to me like they know me gor many years. I wish all my prior had been like that one. The following day someone called to know how I was doing too. Love his practice.
We went to the ER when my husband had an onset of vomiting and abdominal pain. On the way there, his pain increased and by the time we arrived it was severe. Luckily, my daughter was with us and she went to get him a wheelchair as he could not walk because of pain--there were none to be found and no staff to help. Finally a patient was leaving and we snagged that chair. He was visibly in acute pain and after what seemed like a long time (probably less than 30 minutes) got him triaged to rule out heart attack. Because it's season, they were very busy, no beds, so we were sent back to ER waiting room to wait. He was in severe, acute pain--( he had knee replacement surgery last October and took no pain meds as his pain threshold is high). Finally, we got into a room--probably less than an hour later--nurses were quick to get him on IV and gave him pain medication. Up to this point, I thought we had made a big mistake coming to Physicians Regional. However, once he was admitted to the emergency room--things went much more quickly--tests were run, etc. CT scan showed a lower intestinal obstruction which needed immediate surgery. Dr English, the surgeon, came and explained the urgency of getting the surgery immediately. We were hesitant as we didn't know him etc. As it turned out, he was an excellent surgeon and was able to do the surgery as conservatively as possible. The nursing staff who prepped him were so caring, not only with him, but also with me. His stay in the hospital was only a couple of days, but the nurses, again, were knowledgeable, listened and truly cared. We were very pleased with his care and would feel confident returning to this hospital if needed, but instead by ambulance. If there is any room for improvement, it would be at initial level of getting to the ER. Having more wheelchair's available is basic. We had no way to get him in and were just lucky that someone was leaving and my daughter ran down and took the wheelchair. In hindsight, going by ambulance would've been a better option--but when we left the house, he wasn't in as much pain.
The Gastroenterologist I see is truly amazing & is genuinely concerned about my health. She is thorough, detail-oriented & even helps reduce medications to healthier options (same as my new PCP). My original experiences at this hospital were far from optimal, but everything has improved. It is a small knit group & they are prompt with responses and extremely intelligent. There is easy parking right in front. I saw another specialist yesterday at the Pine Ridge location & she was amazing, down to earth & referred me to the best place in Naples to get testing! Another great experience.
