Worst experience!
We thought we were in good hands. The staff and Dr Wilson are friendly. The surgery, treatment and care are horrible. Plus, Lone Peak surgical center has some of the worst nurses.
Day of surgery we arrive, and are told that Dr. Wilson was running a little early. The nurse went to place an IV, but she tried to put it in the vein where you get your blood drawn. The one right at your elbow! That vein is used only when people are inexperienced, and she obviously was. She went in and out of the vein, at least five times, kept saying that she was trying to get past a valve! She was so aggressive in trying to place the IV that it was extremely painful, and it caused the person to get lightheaded and feel like passing out! The Nurse had to stop trying to place the IV, and start to attend to the person, passing out and going into shock! Another doctor from the floor had to come in and place the IV!! Then we were told that Dr. Wilson was delayed an hour, but I think our IV experience caused them to skip us! While we were waiting an hour, we actually heard the nurse trying to place an IV next to the patient's next to us. And the same thing happened.
When we were finally seen by Dr. Wilson, he was in a rush! Barely interested in talking to us! My husband was rushed back into surgery, and felt like they were hurrying. It was stressful and uncomfortable, definitely not what you want to feel right before surgery. The surgery seemed to go OK, but in recovery, my companion was in pain. They couldn't get the pain to go down and we left the hospital with pain at a 7.(7 out of 10) When we got home the pain got worse. We had only been home from the hospital about an hour and a half, and we called it, Dr. Wilson, and he was not very caring, and basically told us that if he was in that much pain we needed to go to the ER and get IV pain relief.
Seriously!!!!
We learned later that some people don't respond to opioids! Family members had to recommend pain relief. Dr Wilson should have been educated and knowledgeable about that and should have been able to offer other pain relievers, but didn't!!
I am also extremely disappointed in the results of the Septoplasty! The surgery completely altered the nose appearance and I look totally different! I don't even look like what I used to!
My nose turns up and I look pig nosed! Also the two sides don't match up, one is higher than the other!
I'm seriously considering a nose job now because of how botched this surgery turned out!
I do not recommend Dr Wilson!
Take the time to research the reviews and have several Consultations with several doctors before you choose.
I wish I would have! It's worth taking the time and making sure you go with someone really good! read more
