I was not feeling well following a procedure so I was referred to Colorectal Surgeon Romie Mundy, MD.  He knew exactly what needed to be done. He told me I would need two surgeries, how he was going to do them, and why. I instantly knew I was in good hands, so I dropped my health insurance and picked up my husband’s so I could see Dr. Mundy. I had surgery on a Tuesday and left the hospital on Friday feeling like a new person, and three months later I had the second surgery. I had never been to Holy Family Hospital prior to meeting Dr. Mundy.

I was in pain for two years; I couldn’t walk, especially up a hill, and sleeping was painful. I couldn’t lift anything because the pain was so bad. At first I thought it was my back, but it was my hip.  I initially saw Dr. Eugene Brady for evaluation, and he recommended Dr. Barry Bickley for total hip replacement surgery.  Dr. Bickley recommended that I have the surgery at Holy Family Hospital. The staff, from pre-op through discharge, was fabulous. Anything I needed - they were there. The day of my surgery, when the nurses got me up, I was expecting great pain…but I felt fine.

I suffered with pain that would shoot between my lower back and hips for 15 years, following the birth of my son. I tried non-surgical methods to alleviate my pain, but nothing worked until I met Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Nikhil Thakur, MD. Dr. Thakur was compassionate, caring and very thorough. If I ever needed this type of surgery again I would definitely go to him, and I would recommend him to anyone. All of my life I I’ve gone to Holy Family Hospital.  The staff was great. I was stiff after surgery but the physical therapists and nurses got me moving and helped me manage my pain.

The care I received at the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Holy Family Hospital in Haverhill deserves “Two Thumbs Up." My doctor was great, as was the wound care team.

 

I was a patient in the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Holy Family Hospital in Haverhill for a diabetic wound on my foot that wouldn’t heal. At the center I met Steve, the hyperbaric technician, who is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is very professional, dedicated, and we even became friends. Whenever I am at the hospital campus, I stop by to say hello to Steve. I would recommend hyperbaric oxygen therapy to anyone who needs it because I am almost completely healed now and Steve made my treatments pleasurable and easy.

 

 

I would like to recognize the great nurses on St. Anne’s. They were caring and understood the problems and symptoms I was having. They listened. Thank you.

 

I received excellent care on St. Mary’s from the nursing staff, ancillary staff and doctors. I would highly recommend the hospital. Thank you.

 

Dr. Edwards did an excellent job and the nurses in the Birthing Center were fabulous.

 

I was most pleased with my wait time in the Emergency Room. I was treated well. Everyone was kind and told me what was happening every step of the way. The Emergency Room was very busy but I felt as though they moved quickly to help my situation. All of the nurses and the emergency room deserve a gold star. During my stay in St. Mary’s, Dr. Ergin was awesome and all of the staff were wonderful.

I’d like to recognize my nurse, Julie, who took care of me and was extremely nice and helpful. She takes her job seriously and you can tell she really cares about her job and about people. I cannot say enough about the entire nursing staff and doctors on St. Mary’s. Everyone went above and beyond I was truly blessed.
