I was scheduled for surgery on my shoulder for a practically torn rotator cuff and bone spur removal. I arrived in the morning after going over 12 hours with no food, nothing to drink (including coffee), and no smoking on top of the anxiety of surgery I was a total wreck!! Being nervous about the whole procedure was an understatement. After being called in the first person I met was Stephanie Friesen, her entire attitude and bedside manner were extremely amazing at getting me calmed down and ready for the surgery. She is a very caring person towards her patients. She informed me of the steps of the entire procedure, who I was going to see, and why and just overall made me very comfortable with everything that was going to happen. Stephanie is a definite asset to the ambulatory surgery center and should be commended for her caring attitude and professional demeanor.

Thank you, Stephanie K, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
