Subject: Outstanding Recognition to The Nurses and Doctors at the Long Beach Surgery Center on 4/6/23 I wanted to express how grateful I am for the dedication the staff had throughout the complete process of my knee surgery. All were very positive with “can-do” attitudes to address any questions I may have had during my stay throughout the pre- and post-operation procedures. Dr. Kurzweil, his assistant, Mikki, and the Anesthesiologist Dr. Tripllete performed the surgery. Dr. Tripllete took the time to sit down with me just before the surgery and explained every detail in the process of his responsibility. It was the same with Dr Kurtweil who was outstanding with the precise work he performed on my left knee replacement via the robotic process. Also, I want to highlight some of the nurses who went over and beyond with the pre and post operation tasks. Nurse Kari was with me the complete time before surgery and was very attentive before I entered the surgery room. She had compassionate, kind personality and again if I had any questions or needed something, who was right there! Other great nurses were Victoria who took care of me when I arrived and during the recovery period and Sheri, who was excellent in-patient care and had a very positive attitude and assisted me in the post-surgery and departure areas. There were other nurses involved during my stay; however, I did not get their names. I want to be sure they are recognized during my stay too! I could not say enough about the overall care and professionalism of the COMPLETE team and will surely recommend this location and staff to our family and friends. Again, thank you very much for the great experience. My nervousness was alleviated through a professional and kind staff, and I appreciate them.
Very attentive personal from the registration desks, nurses are very caring take the time to go over everything I am very satisfied thanks I take my hat off well done!
I had a full knee replacement there today. The staff is amazing. Shout out to Debbie who is all the great things a Jewish mother can be in taking care of her patients. Also another nurse Sherri. I was so nervous coming in but they put me at ease. I’m not a great patient when it comes to IV insertion but Victoria did a great job and on the first shot. If you need outpatient surgery that is the place to go
I had my achilles tendon surgery in this place. All the staff were nice and helpful and informative. The nurse who helped me to setup for surgery was great and helpful. The anesthesia doctor provided me with all the useful info, and my surgery went well I suppose, this my first day after surgery.

I was a little skeptical about the location of the surgery center, however, once inside and getting prepped for my surgery, I was greeted with kindness and knowledgeable nurses and doctors. The anesthesiologist was very calming and helpful to ease my anxiety. The procedure took longer than they expected due to the size of my fibroid. I am marking 4 weeks from my procedure tomorrow and I am amazed at how well the cuts have healed and my own healing is great. Thank you and the team for calming nerves and having a wealth of knowledge to share with myself and my husband about the procedure.
