If any of my family members ever need surgery, this is where they are going, no matter the distance or flight needed to get to here. You will feel like you are family while being cared for with the utmost professionalism and respect. All the nurses, staff, and surgical team make the experience consistently relaxing and smooth. I can’t commend the anesthesiologist enough! Truly gifted in his art. Amazed how I feel like I just woke up from the best nap of my life with the ease of resuming normal bodily functions as if no anesthesia was even given. Amazing!

I had my bunion surgery yesterday. I took my first pain medication tablet this morning. Just a bit of discomfort, but not bad. I just want to stay in front of any pain. I couldn't have asked for a better experience at Northern Rockies Surgery Center! From the minute I walked in the door I was greeted with a true example of healthcare professionalism! As I went through the process of being prepared for the procedure, transported to the operating room, receiving the anesthesia, and waking up in the recovery room I felt like I was in the best hands possible. I had gone there for both of my cataract surgeries last year and each of the team members greeted me as if they were seeing an old friend. My guess is that they didn't really remember me, but had reviewed my previous chart to have a familiarity with me and make me feel special. I so appreciate that! A special shout out to the anesthesiologist, Dr. Warren. When I woke up, it was as if I was just waking up from a nap...there was no "drug hangover" feeling at all! My discharge instructions included what to do if there was bleeding seeping through the bandages. I was told to just wrap additional gauze around the existing dressing and not remove anything, they didn't want me disrupting it or looking at the incisions. No worries there! That is the last thing I want to look at, I don't have the stomach for that sort of thing. 🤑. It looks like I will be sitting with my foot elevated for the next several days. My experience so far is, bunion surgery is not that bad!!

Super place. I LOVE the way I was treated by the Northern Rockies Surgical Center and have the utmost respect for their team!!! The staff seems to keep it clean and safe. Karla was polite and helpful before surgery with billing information. Melody at the front desk was efficient and clear when completing paperwork. Then in the surgical prep area, Patty Jo and Dr Templeton had great bedside manners. They were awesome about talking over concerns both mine and theirs. There was a more novis RN who was trying to put in my IV. She did a great job explaining the steps. Both Patty Jo, RN and Dr Templeton let her try, gave a little coaching and then Dr T knew he needed to jump in and did so gently, preserving her confidence. Pam, RN helped me navigate the transfer from prep to surgery safely and precisely as the surgeon is particular, which I genuinely appreciate and embrace. After my surgery RN Stacey took SUCH good care of me, my needs and spent time helping my husband understand what to expect next. I am home just hours after the event so there's the healing process ahead. Dr Murdock has been the surgeon for this and he ROCKS! Not sure of the outcome, it's too soon but this part of the process has been EXCELLENT! He's educated, kind, happy, confident, patient and generous with his time!! I feel blessed 🙏

What an amazing group of people! From the sweet nurse who took my temperature at the door and helped put on my hair net and mask (I’m sorry, I did not catch your name), Melody- the very nice and funny receptionist who made sure all of the I’s were dotted and T’s were crossed. Michelle- the incredibly kind nurse who stuck with me from beginning to end, always patient, and legitimately courteous, Allison- the energetic, humorous, and amazingly talented Anesthesiologist, Connie- the soft spoken, caring nurse who made sure all of my questions had been answered, Sharon (I think)- who took such good care of me in Recovery. If I wasn’t still woozy, I would remember your name. Of course, my absolute favorite Doctor, Dr Templeton. I love you! You are the most amazingly gracious and compassionate physician! Thank you for being you! And I am sure there were some that I did not see, that had a part in my surgery today..... THANK YOU! 😘
