Mercy Medical Center
"This hospital has a full wing that caters to surgical patients, including bariatric. The staff was kind, friendly, and very attentive to my every need. The rooms were very spacious, with a three person padded bench and recliner, and when our pastor and wife arrived at the same time as other guests, they immediately brought in extra chairs from a conference room so all could sit comfortably! EVERYONE cheered you on as you walked the halls, and made you feel like you were superwoman for your efforts! The hospital has a dept. that checks in with every patient to see if they are happy and having their needs met. Mercy is the best hospital I have EVER been in, and I can't say enough good things about the care I recieved there! Highly recommend their surgical wing!"

"I had seen Dr. Valentine when my friend had him do a gastric bypass two years ago, so I knew he was nice, but was surprised when he came in all business, barely introduced himself, & did not shake my hand, either coming or going! rnNot a great first impression, & I started second guessing my choice! They do an open informational seminar with a video of an actual surgery though, & I wanted my husband to see & hear what I was going to go through, so we went. What a change to get the doctor out of the confines of the office! He was personable, but the icing on the cake came when my husband actually walked out of the room and FAINTED in the hall during the surgery video! Dr. Valentine and his nurse Annie got him juice, monitored his pulse, iced his face & neck, treating him kindly - assuring him this was not unusual, & had him laughing at stories of other things that have happened at various past seminars. When we got back in the room Dr. Valentine pulled out pictures of his daughter's track meet! Absolutely different from the office visit, and I imagine the \"all Business\" tone was in regard to the seriousness of what I am about to undertake. In subsequent visits he has been relaxed, and fun to talk to. I am THRILLED to have him as my Doctor! Every one of his office staff is awesome, too! It is obvious they work well together, and each add their own unique personality to a helpful and pleasant office visit. I highly recommend Dr. Valentine!"
