"What set him apart was how present he was after surgery... He didn’t just send a resident — he came himself, looked me in the eye, and made sure I knew I wasn’t forgotten."

"Patient communication for surgery is horrendous. Information received less than 24 hours prior to surgery. Never informed of medical devices needed on discharge."
