Dr. Burkhardt gave me back my life.

I can only say good things about Bronson Battle Creek. it was just last week August 6th, 2014 I had a total hip replacement. From my first visit there for Pre-screening and meeting others in the same situation as me it helped to ease my mind. I didn't even know hospitals offered a class on Hip and Knee surgery wow they go out and beyond. and then the pre-screening departments were great to my x-ray tech was very nice to me. now I am not a hard person to get along with either. But when the final day came of surgery I walked into surgery waiting and it was long they came and got me and my husband and from there out I was theirs no turning back now. I was more relax than I thought and didn't even ask for an I.V. cocktail so I wouldn't run....lol soon they came and wheeled me to the Big white surgery room and soon after that is was la la land for me. soon I was awake and alert pretty good. I even got to eat some toast wow that was great. the next to my room where I got to see my husband it was nice I made it I did it. they kept me very pain-free but at my choice mostly I didn't want to feel goofy even though some people would debate about that one...LOL but you know those nurses I had and the physical therapy people were awesome they would run and jump I think if you asked them to. they were never understaffed so there was always 1 out of the 3 there or even if someone went by your room they would stop and see what I needed. That's awesome most places will pass the buck and let someone else get it. I was just very impressed. its been a week now and I am up pretty good still with my walker but I am moving way faster than I started. Hey, guess what else ladies on the 2nd day you can have your hair done that was cool. it was a good experience for me there no regrets. and I had an awesome Dr. Joseph Burkhardt and his Assistant Lori Smith I could go on. Dr. Burkhardt gave me back my life...Thank You
