Patient Testimonials
I was recently a patient at OVMC and my experience was amazing. You have the best staff from housekeeping to the physicians. We have gotten so far away from bedside nursing in most facilities, that I felt it was back at OVMC. I cannot say enough about this facility and if ever the need arises for me to be hospitalized again, I will definitely choose OVMC...it's the absolute best in Springfield.

I had emergency surgery at OVMC. The doctors and nurses really care about their patients and are very professional. I had a great experience with OVMC and would return for any surgery or procedures in the future.

After being at OVMC, I want to thank you for your goodness, grace and true professionlism. I experienced from everyone a sense of complete dedication, teamwork and respect as a team. In my line of work, I come in contact with a myriad of professionals. You rate an A+.

I was previously a Director of Patient Safety for twelve Air Force hospitals so I am extremely critical and always critiquing. Your staff and this facility could not have been better. Having stayed there three nights, I probably hit about all of the shifts and they were spectacular. My husband has also been a patient there and received the same kind of treatment.

I recently had shoulder joint replacement at OVMC. The care I received from the doctors, nurses and staff was outstanding. As a doctor myself, I can attest to the excellence of the facility. Because the surgeons run this center and directly surpervise the staff, patients receive the finest care possible in this setting.

In March 2011, I had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Gary Lau. I would like to express my thanks for the superb medical service and treatment I received during this procedure. Due to the fact that I experience anxiety during medical procedures, it is somewhat difficult for me and at times frightening. The staff guided me through this process and reassured me through every step. The staff at OVMC needs to be recognized for the exemplary service that was given to me and their contribution to the community of Springfield.

My daughter recently had a torn ACL repair at OVMC performed by Dr. Ian Thompson. I wanted to send out a BIG thank you to all who made her first surgery experience a great one. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable with the procedure. It was a very pleasant environment and I will highly recommend OVMC to my family and friends.
