Arsen K. Apkarian III: Everyone at Mercy did their jobs well

In April I had to be hospitalized overnight at Mercy Medical Center due to a kidney stone. I’ve never had to be hospitalized overnight for a physical malady and I must say it was a good experience; everyone was very courteous and professional, from the ER receptionists, nurses and fourth-floor staff to the day and night staff. Everyone earned their paychecks.

I had surgery, a non-invasive vibro-ware procedure which was performed by Dr. Dennis S. Cesar. I had no pain. God forbid I ever have to be hospitalized again, but if I do I’ll ask for Mercy Medical Center.

Arsen K. Apkarian III, Merced
