Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care

I am very grateful for the wonderful care and experience I had with Dr. Grieve, her team, and everyone my wife and I had contact with at Glacial Ridge Hospital. I had a large inguinal hernia for over 20 years. All of the other doctors I saw for it said it had to be an open hernia surgery, but Dr. Grieve felt comfortable performing it via a laparoscopic/robotic-assisted method. She was very detailed in explaining the process, etc., and was confident that the minimally invasive procedure was an option. And if she couldn’t, then she would do an open repair. I am really thankful to her for taking the laparoscopic method, as it meant a better and faster recovery for me.

My wife and I were really worried about any surgery due to my history, open heart surgery, plus others over the years, but Dr. Grieve and the team, including anesthesiology, put us at ease by explaining everything and reassuring us. She and the team are very knowledgeable in their field and treat you like a person and a patient, not just another number. I cannot say enough great things about everyone at Glacial Ridge.

I would recommend them to everyone! I have never had such caring people watch over me and take care of me! So often you get ‘pushed’ to other services outside our area, but Glacial Ridge has never done this to me! They always get to the root of my problems. The surgical team here is the best I have ever experienced! I’ve been to others and nothing compares. They have great anesthetists here who actually ask enough questions to take care of us too. This facility is definitely heartfelt care! I love my doctors and nurses here.

I had my gallbladder removed, and the care I received at GRHS was the most heartfelt, individualized, attentive care I have ever had. Everyone that I came across gave me their undivided attention and compassionate care. I truly felt that I was not just a routine surgery. In addition, the follow-up care, phone calls, and check-in from multiple staff members reassured me that I made the best choice in returning to Glenwood to get the best care. Thanks to all!

I had a total replacement of my right knee in the new operating facility of Glacial Ridge Hospital, and the care after surgery was excellent. The nurses and aides were so careful about all the aspects of my recovery. They truly did TLC. Having all these services under one roof – surgery, aftercare, swing bed, and therapy – is so comfortable and sensible. I couldn’t be more pleased. We are indeed blessed with a wonderful full-service hospital and wonderful caregivers.

For the past year, I had nagging pain and tenderness in my abdomen. I saw my regular doctor, Dr. Haus, who discovered a hernia and referred me to the general surgeon. The surgery went well, and I was only uncomfortable for about a week instead of up to three weeks that it takes some people to recover. The staff is always friendly, and it’s a pleasant place to come when I need to see a doctor.
