On Friday, the 13th of May I had a partial hysterectomy performed at Cape Fear Valley's Short Stay Facility. The care taken to make me comfortable and keep me calm was simply amazing. The nurses were wonderful, their bedside manner the best I have ever seen and for a person having surgery for the first time they made me feel as though I was there top priority. I absolutely love the new gown by Bair Paws with the ability to keep yourself warm or cool depending on your nature. It was comfortable and I never got cold as I have in the past in most hospitals. Dr. Jerome Ponder and his staff also deserve to be commended on their procedure and the care they gave me during my surgery. They were very personable and treated me with the utmost respect being sure to explain things before they happened and taking care to keep me comfortable through the entire process.
While I was in recovery with a short hospital stay I must first say that the new section of Cape Fear Valley Health Systems is amazing. The rooms are big and bright, you don't feel as though you're locked away in a cupboard as I had in the past when staying there. I felt completely comfortable the entire time, the nursing staff were phenomenal in their care and consideration and I honestly believe it was the best and quietest hospital stay I have ever had. I felt more as though I were in a five star hotel instead of a hospital. The staff were just that amazing. I would love to mention all the names of the wonderful people I encountered while staying there but I only have a few. First and foremost is Dr. Ponder and his staff, they reside at All American OBGYN and I can honestly say that I believe them to be the absolute best in that practice. Secondly, I have to mention my wonderful nurses during my stay and I hope they receive some kind of special recognition for all their hard work and dedication to the hospital and their patients. Their names are as follows:
Tabatha - RN
Jessica Sutton - CNA
Maggie - CNA
Emily - RN
Sharon - RN
Ying - RN
If there are more I have missed I apologize but you know who you are and I am indebted to you for all you did for me while I underwent my stay at Cape Fear. I must also commend the nutrition staff as they were excellent and very informative of the food that was available to me and even said if there was something I'd rather have they'd see to it that it was made. This is the kind of service and consideration that makes people happy and I can honestly say I was both amazed and astounded at the perfection they all displayed.
Thank you!
