I don’t understand the 3.3 Review. These folks were just the very best. Friendly, Helpful and just plain funny. Best experience ever. They truly do care about their patients. Thank you Ridgdale surgery center for taking such great care of me. Your staff are some wonderful people.

Our actual experience the day of my son's procedure was fine, no notable complaints and he was well taken care of, the staff were kind and polite. My issue is that I've called the billing office multiple times and no one ever answers, and I've left 2 voicemails which no one ever returns. It's frustrating to keep receiving past due notices without any ability to get a real person on the phone to discuss the amount before issuing payment.

I truly think people will complain about anything so please ignore all these bad ratings. My experience with this facility was top notch. They communicated with me the day before and took care of checking me in promptly. I got super sick after surgery from the anesthesia but the nurses (I should call them angels) were the best I’ve ever experienced. Kind, compassionate, attentive and caring are just some of the words I can describe. You will not receive better care anywhere. If you’re reading this, my beautiful nurses, thank you for helping me last Friday. I’ll never forget you!

The communication from front desk staff was very poor. My husband was told that both parents would be allowed in with our 1 year old for her procedure, as long as we provided proof of vaccination. When we showed up with our vaccine cards, we were told only one parent was allowed in, only to see another couple allowed back with their young son later on. I was also required to remove my KN95 mask and replace it with a loosely fitting surgical mask. I offered to wear the surgical mask over my kn95 and was told I had to remove my kn95 because it could be “dirty” and endanger other patients. Meanwhile, other families entered wearing their own surgical masks or cloth masks and were not asked to replace them. This facility is putting high risk patients and visitors at risk with these policies.

The surgical staff was fabulous! I was so scared leading up to my surgery until I walked into the back to get prepped for surgery. From the first nurse who helped me to the last… I was so shocked by how wonderful everyone was! They catered to my every need, always checked on me to make sure I was okay and comfortable. My Dr. (Dr. Bry’s was also amazing the entire time). I’ve never met a surgical staff so professional. I felt like I knew all of them on a personal level. I need to give a shout-out to my nurses, Angie, Demetria, etc. they were rockstars!!!

I was there for a colonoscopy 11-11-21 Everyone from the phone conversations to the front desk to the procedure was extraordinary. I read some bad reviews before i went and i cant believe what bad things some people said. Theres always a few that aren't happy and never will be. Thank you all so much for erverything.

Exercise May Preserve Your Vision, Prevent Eye Disease
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, regular exercise can help preserve your vision and lower your risk for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.
From the registration clerk, Denise to the prep nurse, Amy and the OR nurse Lee Ann to the PACU RN Cass and Liz, I was treated wonderfully. Dr. Petrocelli from Dr Mann‘s office is always so great and compassionate. Dr Mann always comes in to make sure everything is OK before the surgery. This was my second eye that I was having done today and I felt very comfortable with everyone since I was treated extremely professional the first time I was there. I would recommend this facility to anyone having any procedure. I want to thank all the staff that helped me today and saw me through my cataract surgery.
