I moved here in December 2020 and received a cancer diagnosis from my doctor back east one week after I got here. St. Luke's got me a cancer doctor immediately. They treated me absolutely wonderful and I was so grateful to face this here and not somewhere else! And Dr Fountain is by far the best doctor as well as a good man I've worked with in my life. And I'm 72 years old! I would recommend St. Luke's and Dr. Fountain anyone!
No one loves to go to the ER, but I was cared for as promptly as they could. Everyone I came in contact with were compassionate and kind. I was even greeted outside by a very nice man who grabbed a wheel chair and guided me inside to check in. Checkin went smoothly as did the triage station. My nurse (young male, sorry blanking on his name) was great and had a really nice, bedside manner, who was quick to pick up on my personality and matched it perfectly. The ER Doc was also kind and thorough in making sure nothing was missed. Thanks for the great care, to the entire team!
The team at St Luke's are wonderful! They go the extra mile to make sure each individual is given the care they need. I want to thank all of them for the great experience that I have had thru this road that I've been on.
