"**UPDATE** -- I had my surgery about a week prior to Dr. Murayama left Northwestern for Hawaii. I do believe that Dr. Alexander Nagle pretty much performed my surgery.rnrnI first met Dr. Murayama after I met Dr. Prystowsky (I was impressed by both). I had been informed that I was now eligible for laproscopic surgery with Dr. Murayama vs. \"open\" with Dr. Prystowski. rnrnI was originally scheduled for surgery with Dr. Murayama on June 30th, but found out he was leaving the practice, so I was bumped up to June 18th. rnrnDr. Murayama's staff has been a guiding light and extremely helpful to me, in particular Liz Haney.rnrnDr. Alexander Nagle (the new hot-shot at Northwestern ... ok, not-so-new anymore) assisted Dr. Murayama on my surgery(ACTUALLY, I believe Dr. Nagle most likely did my surgery, or most of it anyway) and I follow-up with him, although I really would have liked to go to Hawaii for my follow-ups, but insurance wouldn't go for it. Go figure.rnrnI feel that surgical competence is #1 ... bedside manner a very very close second ... and if you get both, that's the absolute best. rnrnI'll save rating him however, until after my surgery (ha ha)!"
"One of the things that impressed me the most (besides the view of the lake from my private room [all rooms are private with a private bath!], the daybed so that a visitor could stay [even though my husband stole my pillow ... they DID get me another one] ... but the thing that really impressed me was how quiet it was! I was up at 4am one morning and just listened to see if I could hear something ... and it was SO quiet! I would have liked a little more attention from the staff, but maybe that's just me."
