SIERRA PACIFIC SURGICAL
DR. DAVID M. SKEEHAN, DO
SURGICAL REVIEW
In today's world, one often is not treated with care and commitment when receiving medical attention. Fortunately, I am not one of those individuals. In fact, I was so pleasantly satisfied with my recent surgical procedure (3 hernias) that I want to share this extraordinary experience with others and to refer and reward the surgeon and staff for their commitment, experience and expertise.
Back in late June, I was referred to Dr. DAVID M. SKEEHAN, DO of the Hill Physicians Medical Group by Dr Khangura. Following my initial visit, I was scheduled for other meetings, exams and tests necessary to safeguard my life and to minimize any possible surgical risks. On my initial appointment with Dr Skeehan, my wife and I were both very impressed by his demeanor, self confidence and commitment to excellence as he talked me through the options and procedures needed to ensure my recovery. He was very patient and allowed me to ask many questions, all of which he answered in an understandable and comforting way.
Additionally, Dr Skeehan has one of the most experienced, professional and caring support teams I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From the sign-in Secretary to the Nurses, interns, hospital staff, anesthesiologist and other support staff, I was truly impressed and pleased by their commitment and concern over my well being. Of particular note was the extraordinary help provided by Nurse Jessica Kennedy. She was always available, in person or by phone, to answer any questions or concerns I had prior to and following my surgery. The hospital staff also was very friendly, professional and gave me a very comfortable feeling about the procedure I was about to receive.
On October 2nd, I met with Dr Skeehan for my follow-up appointment. Once again, he demonstrated all those attributes expected from a true professional. I was impressed that all the post surgical advice he provided was exactly what I experienced. Knowing what to expect and being instructed on what to do and what not to do, truly put my mind at ease and I am so pleased to say that my expectation is for a full and normal recovery. I had a few questions for him, which he quickly answered and explained. He never seemed rushed to get to another patient, instead he devoted his entire visit to my needs and to comfort me about any concerns I had. I am truly satisfied with Dr Skeehan's method of helping patients. I would hope that other medical professionals would follow his style.
Finally, I wanted to mention that while I was going through my medical challenge, my wife, Vickie was diagnosed with breast cancer (she also has Multiple Myeloma) and needs surgery. We contacted Dr Khangura and asked if he would refer her to Dr Skeehan, which he has done. We are meeting with him on October 11th. It is refreshing to know that Vickie will be in the care of one of the finest surgeons we have ever met. We thank God that we met him. read more
