I had surgery on 8/5/25, and I must say that all the staff were simply superb! I was taken care of immediately in the PACU by a remarkedly young-looking RN, I think her name was Nicole? She stated that she had experience in nursing, but I swear that she didn't look a day out of nursing school! Another couple of nurses (Jon- I like his name & Julia) were also kind. The facility was nice and everyone looked like they got along and helped each other, it really warmed my heart!

On July 7th I had surgery for the first time at this center and I was so impressed! You immediately walk into the lobby that is very organized and clean and very quiet. They keep a nice calm vibe in the lobby for everyone who is waiting for their love ones to get out of surgery they also provide a screen where you can see your loved ones time frame. I was checked in by Toney who was so kind and lovely and made me feel so welcomed I have had people check me in for surgeries before who just wanted you to move on but he was so considerate and got to know me a little. I think I only waited in the lobby for 5mins and then 11:50am hit and my nurse was right on time brining me back to get me ready excuse me for not remember her name but she was just such a joy!!! She told me the OR prefers to do the IV in the left arm because of how it's set up but I know my left arm gets really tricky and even the best nurses have struggled. I knew my right hand had the best vein ever and I expressed that to and she immediately heard me out in such a caring and professional manner and chose to believe me and got my IV on the first try!! She also took the time to get to know me and make me feel so stress free and cared for. She made sure I was comfortable in my chair, asked about the lighting was willing to change it, wanted me to be comfy while reading and asked how I would like the door and curtain. These might seem like smalls things but it was very seen by me and she was just such a beautiful person I hope UVA can look back to see who was with me from the start because she deserves to hear this! Fast forward to the overall OR staff and my Surgeon Rhett Willis they were so wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a better team. My anesthesiologist was a rockstar I have never had one come check on me surgery but he did and made sure I felt fine and was given what I needed. My nurse for recovery stayed with me the entire time noticed quickly when I said was sick to my stomach how pale I got believed me and got me the right medications extra fluids and multiple snacks! He also deserves to hear this he is truly an awesome person and was so fun to talk to while waiting to leave and it took me awhile. My blood pressure was having trouble so I had to hang out a little longer but he stayed with me every step of the way and ensured I was back to a healthy stable blood pressure before letting me leave. UVA you have an amazing team there!!

Had cataract and glaucoma surgery scheduled for more than three months which required several other doctor appointments prior to surgery. One of the doctor appointments required a physical which had to be current within 30 days of the surgery. Doctors guidance stated the surgery facility would discuss final details within 2 business days of surgery with patient. Facility did not contact patient so patient called the facility early on 1 business day before surgery and was told surgery could not be confirmed and might not happen. Facility said they would call patient later that day. After waiting 6 hours patient called facility again and was told personnel were meeting to determine status of surgery and would call patient back. 1 hour later facility called patient and said surgery was canceled due to supply issue. Facility could not determine a new surgery date and informed patient to contact their doctor. The patient had previously left a message with their doctor who never called back. IMHO this surgery facility is definitely not a professional organization, is poorly managed and shows little to no regard for their patients.

Very blessed to have had my surgery at this location… blessed! Gentleman up front with ponytail was extremely friendly and gave me plenty of reasons to feel comfortable going in. My nurse was stellar. Energetic, funny, relatable and efficient. Loved her and also felt blessed to have her. I assumed I would have two maybe three people in the room with me during surgery but there was actually 6-7 people initially. Every single person played there roll in getting me my nerve block taken care of. There was slight discomfort getting that taken care of and all I remember is the comfort and having a nurse talk to me and tell me I was doing okay and then another one rubbing my shoulder and patting me constantly to comfort me. That meant a lot to me. And my surgical Dr…. Dr. Waltz. I appreciate her so much. Again I was blessed to end up in her arms. She didn’t rush and was thorough with my surgery. So many incredible things to say about Dr Waltz and UVA Health Surgical Care Riverside. This is the place to be for your surgery needs.
