Comments: I just wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation to you and your staff for the exceptional care I received at Mammoth Hospital. From the moment I arrived at the ER to discharge I felt very well cared for. As a retired executive of a large corporation, I know that this doesn't happen by accident. It takes a team effort across many areas of the hospital all pulling together. In particular I wanted to compliment my Surgeon, Dr. Knecht; and Nurses, Addie, Brooke and Mary. They were extremely caring, thoughtful, cheerful and attentive to safety. I have been skiing for nearly 50 years and this was the first time I've ever had a serious injury. It was an unusual condition known as Compartment syndrome. Dr. Knecht quickly diagnosed the issue and within a very short period of time I was in surgery and on my way to recovery. I was a 15 year ski patroller at Lake Tahoe and so I'm quite familiar with the challenges of the holiday season for medical professionals near ski resorts. I know it's hard to triage and juggle the influx of patients. The level of individualized care and personal attention I received is a real testament to how much your staff cares. I know in particular that Dr. Knecht had numerous surgeries over the past few days and still took the time to check in on me in the am and the evening. I can't thank you enough and I already feel much better. Happy holidays and best wishes for a great New Year.
