My entire care team from the time I arrived, to the time I was discharged were exemplary.  Kathy, who escorted me in and was my first impression, left me feeling hopeful and positive.   Gayle, my intake nurse was gentle and kind.   Rachel the nurse who escorted me to the procedure room, and stayed there, was upbeat, happy, very knowledgeable, and funny! Her humor kept me calmer.  Mary, another nurse who was already in the room during the procedure came to visit me prior to being discharged. She came in Dr. Asselmeier's place to answer some higher level questions I had. She was very understanding and was able to do so in a clear and concise way.   The doctor who administered the anesthesia was empathetic, listened to me and heard me. (I wish I could remember her name accurately, Dr. Lee maybe?) She was thorough in discussing my health history, her involvement in the procedure, and how the anesthesia would affect me. Her confidence made me very comfortable with the impending biopsy.   Tony, who took care of me in the recovery area, was so sweet, kind and considerate. I came out of the anesthesia crying, and right away he made me laugh. He paid close attention to my behavior while recovering and asked the right questions about how I was feeling, my alertness, and what I needed to be more comfortable.   Finally, Shelby, the nurse who took care of me after the recovery room and who discharged me, was the absolute epitomy of a nurse. She assessed my discomfort, anticipated my needs, and ensured I understood the after care information. She has the right personality and knowledge for her role. She told me she loves her job, and you can tell.
