I
thought
I
knew
what
great
healthcare
looked
like
prior
to
my
surgery
at
Nebraska
Spine
Hospital
but
what
I
thought
was
great
is
no
comparison
to
the
astonishingly
excellent
care
I
received
at
this
facility.
Never
thought
I
would
write
a
review
about
a
medical
facility
but
I
was
so
impressed
with
how
everything
was
handled
that
I
feel
compelled
to
share
in
case
anyone
else
is
considering
spine
surgery
and
needs
to
know
what
it's
like
at
Nebraska
Spine
Hospital.
The
lead
up
to
the
surgery
included
a
spine
class
(highly
recommended,
plus
you
get
complimentary
surgery
prep
soap
that
saves
a
trip
to
the
drugstore!)
Robin,
my
nurse
navigator,
was
a
diligent
and
excellent
instructor
who
took
a
great
deal
of
time
to
make
sure
that
I
was
very
well
prepared
for
the
procedure
and
she
even
popped
in
to
say
hi
on
the
day
of
surgery!
Surgery
day
was
a
blur
and
I
can't
remember
all
of
the
names
but
everyone
I
encountered
from
check-in
(Angel
is
an
angel!)
and
pre-op
prep
to
recovery
was
compassionate,
caring,
and
very
very
efficient.
I
was
made
as
comfortable
as
possible
and
the
nurses
checked
in
often
to
see
if
I
needed
anything
prior
to
surgery.
When
they
wheeled
me
into
surgery
what
little
I
remember
was
a
bright,
clean
space
with
lots
of
people
handling
various
tasks
like
a
well
run
machine.
It
wasn't
long
before
I
drifted
off
to
sleep.
I
was
really
hoping
to
go
home
same
day,
but
they
ended
up
keeping
me
overnight
which
made
me
a
little
anxious
at
first.
I
woke
up
in
recovery
and
was
immediately
whisked
to
my
room
on
the
8th
floor.
The
room
was
large
and
comfortable,
with
a
remarkable
view
that
was
nice.
I
have
never
had
to
stay
overnight
at
a
hospital
before
so
my
anxiety
was
a
bit
high
at
first
but
that
was
remedied
with
the
diligent
and
competent
care
of
my
nurse
Tommie.
She
was
really
REALLY
good
and
when
her
shift
ended
I
found
myself
a
bit
sad
that
she
left!
But
the
subsequent
nurses
were
also
very
good
and
took
care
of
everything
I
needed
and
quickly-
I
honestly
cannot
sing
the
praises
of
the
nursing
staff
loud
enough.
They
were
all
incredible,
friendly,
caring
and
competent.
I
honestly
cannot
imagine
a
higher
level
of
care
could
be
received-
they
truly
set
the
bar
high.
The
following
morning
included
a
visit
from
Dr
McClellan,
and
a
flurry
of
activity
to
get
me
fed
(kitchen
staff
was
so
kind-
best
jello
I
ever)
,
showered,
shown
how
to
navigate
steps,
cars,
bathtubs
(occupational
therapy),
a
special
visit
with
a
therapist
to
address
some
issues
I
was
having
with
swallowing
(Bridget-
she
was
fantastic
as
well
and
her
instruction
enabled
me
to
have
a
much
more
pleasant
recovery
at
home),
a
visit
with
the
pharmacist
on
my
medications
which
I
have
to
elaborate
on
because
I
was
so
impressed
with
this
as
well.
Not
only
did
he
visit
with
me,
he
asked
if
I
would
like
a
printout
of
the
information
for
the
medications-
and
when
I
said
yes,
he
left
for
several
minutes,
came
back
and
hand-delivered
that
information
to
me.
Later,
one
of
the
pharmacy
staff
members
delivered
the
medications
I
needed
to
take
home
with
me.
I
want
to
highlight
this
because
I
was
in
Kansas
City
earlier
this
year
for
a
family
member's
surgery
and
when
they
were
released,
we
had
to
drive
to
the
drug
store
on
the
way
home
to
get
his
meds
which
was
a
hassle
and
very
inconvenient.
It
seems
like
such
a
little
detail
but
wow
did
it
make
a
difference.
I
was
able
to
go
home
and
rest
without
having
to
worry
about
important
logistics
like
having
to
go
pick
up
prescriptions
that
I
would
need
in
a
few
hours.
And
those
are
just
some
of
the
details
I
recall
but
generally
speaking,
I
would
absolutely
100%
recommend
this
hospital
to
anyone
considering
surgery.
They
have
thought
of
every
detail
and
it
shows
from
the
moment
you
are
scheduled.
It
truly
was
the
absolute
best
care
and
I
am
so
pleased
that
it
worked
out
so
well
for
me.
I
commend
the
staff
at
Nebraska
Spine
Hospital
for
the
extraordinary
level
of
service
they
offer
from
start
to
finish
and
the
quality
of
care
that
they
deliver.
It's
not
easy
to
do
what
they
do
everyday
but
I'm
sure
glad
they
are
doing
it!
