My name is Pam and I had a benign brain tumor removed at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Aug. of 2006. I initially was going to have my surgery in Louisville, but thank God we were told about The Mayfield Clinic. I cannot say enough good things about the clinic, my surgeon, the hospital and all of their kind staff. I've had alot of dealings with several other hospitals in our area because my father has had alot of health problems, so compared to all my other experiences The Good Samaritan Hospital cannot even be compared. We are self-insured, so we understand that there would be some apprehension from the financial perspective at the hospital, but Barbara, in the finance department, has been so nice to my husband, who has had to handle everything. During my 11 hour surgery the staff and surgeon ( God bless that man for staying with the job until it was done ) kept my family well informed . I am truly convinced that if I had stayed in Louisville for my surgery the outcome would have been much different. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since my surgery and I am doing fantastic. Thank you all and Gog bless you. Sincerely, Pam
