| - This was my second visit to Box Canyon, the first having been just two weeks ago, when I had surgery on my left eye. Today it was for my right eye. I've been to several surgery centers around the valley for a variety of reasons, and this has been among the best.
There's a lot of staff, and I like the fact that most of them are RNs, which says a lot. They are attentive, competent and caring, and did everything possible to make sure I was comfortable during the very long wait until I was wheeled in for my procedure.
That very long wait, which I didn't experience last time, is the reason I can't give it five stars. I was the last patient of the day. I was supposed to arrive at 10:30 a.m. But by that time they already knew that they were very backed up, and I think it would have been considerate to have gotten a call advising me to come in a little later. It's nerve-wracking to have to spend that much time doing absolutely nothing but waiting, and particularly uncomfortable for me, lying flat on my back for 2 1/2 hours, which is painful with my back condition. And since you're hooked up to monitors, you just can't get up and walk around and be social.
But if you need to have eye surgery, I'd still recommend Box Canyon highly.
