    Hi, I just wanted to say that my experience with Dr. Galle was just an absolute pleasure. He is the ultimate professional and during my entire pre-consultation, surgery, and post-consultation, he literally held my hand right through all the different steps in the process. So I appreciate him and the work that he's done, and I hope that you can acknowledge that on my behalf. Thanks.

    It got to be a longer time there than anticipated, but everyone made sure I was doing ok. I think Same Surgery was having a very busy afternoon.

    I would have liked to have the surgeon report about the surgery to me. He was going to report to my husband, but he didn't reach him. I would have liked to have heard the report myself of how the surgery went.

    I severely underestimated the amount of pain I would have even with the provided pain pills. i think everyone tried to warn me but i wasnt hearing it exactly. Pretty much anything you do will engage your core muscles so even clearing my throat was not possible for 2 days because it hurt too much. It didnt hurt sitting still, just twisting, coughing, sneezing, etc,

    I was waiting for Rebecca to be finished, and I so appreciated all of the communication that happened electronically to keep me informed of how the procedure was going.

    Everyone from Karen in the waiting room to Nathan who wheeled me out to the car - everyone knew their job and did it well. I think my post op nurse was Carol.
