Everyone was lovely except for the head of anesthesia. The woman that administered the anesthesia was delightful.

Dr Chen is lovely. I would highly recommend her to everyone! The man who was head of anesthesia was loud awkward and screaming at everyone to come help him. Did not treat the staff very respectfully. Ran around saying "you are killing me" to all the staff. When you are preparing to go into surgery that is inappropriate, he thought he was funny but it's not the time or place.

Don't want to take medicine. Would prefer organic supplements. Was surprised to be told "aspirin doesn't work" as a blood thinner, when I've been on it for that at this Drs. orders for 5 or so years.
