Elmer Valin
"What do you say about the guy that saved your life. I think Dr Valin is very good at what he does. He seems to enjoy his patients. Sometimes he can be very busy and just wants to get to the point of your visit. Which is understandable considering how popular is becoming. But I have to say the last few times I have been there he has seemed more relaxed and quite funny. But no matter what mood he is in he has ALWAYS made me feel comfortable and had time to answer all of my questions.His wife Debby who I have bugged for the littlest things is great. I dont call the office much but I email often especially very early post op and she has answered all my emails. When I was in the hospital Dr Valin was there almost everyday. He would come in at all different hours. It was nice to know that he was somewhere around. I cant say enough about him or his office staff. Sometimes things get crazy in their office. But now that they hired an extra hand it seems to be running smoothly. Cecil is great she always has a smile and a cute laugh on the phone. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. If they dont have the answer they will get it and get back to you. Whether it be in an hour or sometimes 7-8 at night. But eventually they find the answer for you."

Hospital of Saint Raphael (COE)
"The staff on third shift were not the easy people to get along with. I understood they were short handed but they shouldnt take it out on the patient. Its like any other hospital some of the staff were wonderful and some you didnt dare ask for a glass of water. I will say this if your not the type of person to take care of yourself ie..get up and walk, drink your water, brush your teeth, etc...you are in trouble in this hospital. I found once I was out of ICU I was on my own except for the medicine. Not once did they come in and check to see if I was drinking what I was suppose to. And I will never understand why they have to wake you up for your vitals wait 15 min I'm sure the patient will be up. And one more thing they really need to be more aware of the visitors. A lady down the hall had so much company at one point they were standing in the hallway. This is a hospital not a party some of us need our rest. I felt bad for her roomate who needed to rest. "

"Diane answered all my question I had and explained everything completely to me. She also is willing to see me after surgery for follow up visits. I was very pleased with the fact that I didnt have to wait weeks to see her. And living an hour away she is very flexible with her hours."
