Bluffton-Okatie Outpatient Srg

Oct 2023

I had surgery today on my left knee for a torn meniscus. The Okatie Staff was so accommodating, professional and friendly. Kim checked me in this morning and put me right at ease with her positive demeanor. Amy, the nurse that did my IV and got me ready for surgery was awesome. She gets 10 out of 10 for the IV procedure and caring personality. Dr. Russo and Dr. Gavin were so thorough with their explanations of the procedure, plus they both have a fun and lighthearted sense of humor, which helped with my nervousness. From the surgical nurses to the post op nurses, my experience was very assuring, efficient and now complete!

They made sure I had warm blankets and was comfortable, then my nerves got the best of me and Heather kept wiping my eyes and the tears running down my face, massaged my forehead, then they all just started talking about random topics to get my mind off of what was happening. Heather, Justin, and Dr. just kept saying how good I was doing and kept letting me know when one spot was done. Best experience for my 1st surgery

At two weeks post op there is a certain amount of clarity that returns. Candidly, my best recollections are of a very caring team of individuals performing very specific tasks to ensure the complete success of my scheduled shoulder surgery. Every possible Covid protection protocol was completely in place from...read full review
