“I was fortunate enough to have my Total Hip Arthroplasty at KDH. I experienced warm and lovely care everywhere from the moment I walked in until I was discharged. I’d like to express my deep gratitude to the staff on the inpatient surgical unit. The nursing care was exceptional and made a huge difference to my recovery. They always responded to calls and concerns and were kind and supportive at every step (literally and figuratively) in the process. I'd like to give particular mention to Sharon. As a patient, I particularly enjoyed her expertise and confidence in helping me to progress to the next step.  She is a quiet, valuable asset to your hospital.”
