Linden Surgical Center

I had an epidural injection (pain management) at Linden Surgical this week and was extremely impressed. Outpatient is their business, and they do it well.
1. Customer service was outstanding from check-​in to check-​out. Excellent
2. Staff members are personable and efficient. There is a lot of teamwork in this facility, which translates to better patient care. Nurses and staff members actively assist one another with the goal of making it a better patient experience. I was impressed. There are no slackers here.
3. A wide variety of docs are using Linden, which indicates a good reputation amongst medical providers. It is not difficult to understand why.
4. Their goal is to stay on schedule and get you back home as quickly as it is medically appropriate. For me, this is critical. Once an outpatient procedure is complete, I want to be home in my bed.
5. Aesthetically, Linden was clean and simple — exactly what you would expect from this sort of facility.
I have a background in healthcare and have seen dozens of these facilities. Most impressive here was the staff and the coordination between team members. Kudos to whomever manages this team!

This place was amazing. The staff was very courteous. My main nurses were Christine and Loretta. Christine was very good about explaining any questions I had. I went in pretty nervous but the courteous staff helped ease most of my concerns. Loretta was my recovery nurse and I couldn’t ask for a more patient nurse. She was so attentive and very caring and friendly. I would not hesitate to go back or recommend this place!

My mom recently had a knee surgery at Linden and they were so amazing. The thing that stood out the most would have to be her nurses. From beginning to end they were sweet, caring, and made sure my mother and our entire family was comfortable. When my mom woke up they were right there all compassionate and attentive. As a daughter I spent every second panicking, but Linden was amazing to me and that was something I will never forget.
The only down side was the parking, Linden does not offer validation which caused us to have to walk a while to park.
Other then that, I would recommend anyone go there for surgery!

This morning I had my colonoscopy at the Linden Surgery Center in Beverly Hills. They sre absolutely top notch. They are professional, wonderful and caring. Every member of the staff, from the receptionist on were warm, welcoming, smiling, curteous … I don’t remember everyone’s name but here are the ones I do: Thank you Tamika, Thank you Pam, Thank you Yosi, Thank you Ernie, Thank you Dr Kang (anasthesiologist), thank you Dr. Joel Feinstein (gastroenterologist).

Very professional staff that not only have a great rapport with the public but amongst each other as well. Pam prepped my husband and she was wonderful. Becky was the nurse who was assigned to him during recovery. She is highly experienced– been doing this kind of thing since the 70’s and she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She didn’t miss a thing! Everyone at the Linden Surgical Center made the procedure quick and painless.

I recently had a procedure done at Linden, and I feel compelled to comment on my experience there.
The waiting room was bright, clean and comfortable. I was called in at the exact time of my appointment and from the very beginning I was treated with dignity and respect as a patient and as a person. From check in to preping me for my procedure to discharge, the entire staff was kind, patient and professional. I was quite nervous, and let everyone know. The staff reassured me and calmed my nerves. They even made me laugh to the point where I had to settle myself down to get my blood pressure taken! Everyone identified themselves by name, assured me I’d be fine (and I was), and everyone came back to check on me once I woke up from surgery. My boyfriend, who came from out of town, also complimented the staff and said he felt confident in the care I received.
Everyone complains but few rarely take the time to praise and say thank you. Thank you Linden Staff. You are appreciated!!! Happy Holidays to you all.

Very professional staff all the way around, from the front desk to the procedure room. They made me feel safe and at ease. Simply the best.

Now THIS is a somewhat «tough» review. Pull up your chairs real tight kids and listen closely.
Uncle Frank is gunna teach you about, ~Hush~
«Colonoscopys»…
OK BOYZ!!! Lets get «REAL» here! «I» have endured this violation several times now and all I can say is that «Linden» makes it as soft a landing as possible.
Get ready for it Bubba, cuz it IS an unavoidable eventuality from which you can NOT hide!!!
Do you want me to sugar coat it for you? Would you like to think it is akin to a trip to «LEGOLAND»???
Fuggeddabout it Clarence! There is NOTHING «good» about this «experience» except it being «OVER»!
Allow me to suggest a few things…
«IF», you go to a «Lessor» facility, they will give you a couple of (what seems like) GALLONS of some vile tasting liquids of a «DRAINO» oriented medication that will cause you to squirt like a sprinkler on the 5^th hole at La Quinta while you howl like a Banshee and PRAY for respite. «Linden» at least participates with a «Movieprep Solution» that if mixed with Trader Joe’s «Sparkling Lemonade» is tolerable. As a matter of fact if it was allowed this would make a good mixer for Vodka! Don’t do that, I am just making an observation.
Trust me, have a good spouse that will NOT fall into hysteria while your sitting on the «white porcelain altar» while your thighs quiver in an uncontrollable spasm and you whimper in submission…
THIS, my Dear young Pretender of strength, is where the term «In the SHITZ!!» comes from…
NOW, onto the procedure…
«IF», you are smart enough, or if NOT financially «Strapped», and you are able to afford «it», get your ass «KNOCKED OUT!!!»
«PROPOFOL»!!!
Yip, the stuff that off’d MJ!!!
It IS your friend!!!
As the wonderful young Nurse that welcomed me and wheeled me in asked, «How ARE you?»
To which I answered «Empty and RAW!» to which she smirked a knowing smirk!
The folks at Linden are really great, and if you ask me I shall share my Doctor’s name with you.
So in you go, and in the name of efficiency, they wheel you into place and before I could request the Doc (as per my Girlfriend) that should he find my head «UP my ass» to please LEAVE it there!”, I was «OUT», hearing the great Anesthesiologist say, «You’ll feel a warm fee…» ~GONE~
Now mind you, I was having a «Dual» procedure performed which the upper part is called an «Endoscopy»…
See what your aftertaste is in the hopes that they didn’t mix up the procedures!
Now, once again, trust me on this… DURING your colonoscopy, they will fill your bowels with «Air». (VERY uncomfortable if you choose to stay «awake»). AS they wheel you back to recovery, you WILL“Toot” like a Stern wheeler headed for ‘Nawlins with a load of Cotton… Suggest you watch «Showboat» and get some chorus down a’fir you get this far, it REALLY gets the Nursing staff giggling, and they deserve some levity.
So now you are «recovering».
“IF” you have followed my suggestions, recovery is a simple awakening… IF you are a «Cheapskate», you are in misery!
As you get into the car, you are, if you traveled by the medicated route, «Gooey»…
If by the cheep-​ass route, I’m sorry for you Beauregard, I tried to warn you…
~REMEMBER~
You have just had 40 some-​odd feet of stainless steel garden hose mercilessly inserted into various orifices of your body while lights and cameras captured it for posterity. Hopefully it won’t make «Entertainment Tonight»…
As for you giggling Ladies, wait until your men experience «Kidney Stones» before they REALLY understand «Childbirth»!!!
Bottom line? You get what you pay for, and Linden makes it as painless as possible… The «GOOD» news?
I don’t have to endure the «Silver Stallion» for TEN years!!! WAHOOOOooooooooo!!!
Good luck Pilgrim!!!
