"St. Lukes is an EXCELLENT hospital. ALL the rooms are private and I had NO problems with visitors. The nurses and nurses aides were very attentive and came right away when I pushed the call button. The hospital was very clean and had a pleasant atmosphere. I did not have to worry about anything during my stay. None of the staff whatsoever made me feel badly in anyway, and in fact made me feel special in that they took the time to talk to me one-on-one and seemed genuinely concerned with my well-being. St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center WAS my hospital of choice, but now it is St. Lukes!"
"Dr. Oakley is highly recommended in my community. My first contact with his office was through Jennifer, his assistant/office staff. She was very kind and thorough. She explained the whole procedure to me and we set up an appointment with the Dr. I was very impressed at my first visit with him especially in regards to his knowledge and the fact that he backed up all his answers with scientific data from different national and international studies as well as medical periodicals and publications. I was also impressed with the fact that he did not immediately qualify me for surgery, but wanted additional information from my nephrologist, family practice doctor, and psychiatrist. He was honest in the risks of surgery and also in my goals. He had a positive manner and a thorough knowledge of the procedure. I would rate him an 8 out of 10. Lastly, both surgical competence and bedside manner are good, but I would pick surgical competence over the latter."
