I had surgery for my shoulder dec 1st. I was not sure about it. But Virginia mason and dr Kieras made it all feel comfortable. The staff was awesome. I have no complaints. I have never used Virginia mason and now that I have, I will tell everyone to go there !! Before my surgery they implanted a pump that would act as a nerve block to my shoulder and arm after surgery to reduce the amount of pain I'd experience and reduce the medicine I would need to take. You don't feel the line being inserted cause your sedated. It was so relaxing and stress free. After surgery I was explained everything. My mom was my ride and she had everything with her. I'm at day 5 after surgery and the pain is no where near where it would have been without the pump. I mean it is sore. But don't need alot of pills. I'm relaxing for sure. I recommend dr Kieras to everyone ! Found out he did my friends surgery as well ! How awesome. read more
