"My first impression of Dr. Hoeltgen was that he was very skilled, intelligent and helpful. My surgery went well and he did a great job at communicating with my family and was constantly (someitmes twice a day) at the hospital checking on me after surgery. Nine days out I had a very rare complication and Dr. Hoeltgen was in the ER with me and had to operate again a day or so later.
Again, he was a great communicator with me and my family and is a wonderfully skilled surgeon. (He saved my life, doesn't get much better than that!)
His office staff is also very nice and always helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Hoeltgen.
The only concern that I had was that the aftercare program could use a little more emphasis and information. I think that they are working on that and getting the patients more info already. "
"Overall, I was impressed with the hospital staff. The nurses in the ICU (where I was for nine days) were all wonderful (with the exception of one) and the nurses during the day on the regular floor were wonderful as well. Some of the nurses at night left a little to be desired, but anyplace will have good and bad nurses. My surgeon is amazing and I would highly recommend him. "
