Lakewood Surgery Center

"Dr. David Dickerson was very kind, attentive, he made me feel at ease while going through the entire procedure from the first appointment to the actual procedure and afterwards. My family consists of 2 doctors so I know the demand and pressure on them. Taking the time to simply say a kind word before during and after goes a long way. Also the nurses and the anesthesiologist were great! There was someone that came off like he was the doctor, which almost made me cancel the appointment all together, when I found out he was NOT the doctor all my worries went away. Like I said “ a kind word “ goes a long way. Hopefully he will realize this if he ever thinks he can own his own practice. A former Doctors wife!!! L.V."

"Facility old and dated. Intake nurses were nice, and accommodating. However, recovery/discharge staff nasty , yelling across the room at me for stretching my leg. Also, billing department awful. Started hounding me for a $100 from the moment I went home . Insurance paid $16K already (completely over inflated charge) . Would not recommend or return to this facility."

"Donna is the sweetest nurse! She took care of me well before my procedure!! I’ve been there 3 times and the first two they were running very behind but this last time they took me right in! I appreciate the staff here"

"Staff is very friendly and polite. They work well together. Both times I was there i arrived ahead of time and my procedure was late. The 1st time it was a little over 2 hours and the 2nd time it was 1 hour. I do not know if it was because of the Doctor or something else. The 1st time they never informed my Wife, who was in the waiting room, that they were over 2 hours late in starting my procedure. They tell you when they call you the night before and there are signs on the door, telling Patients to call them before entering so they can take your temperature before hand. Many Patients just walked right in and no one said anything. In New Jersey it is still mandatory to wear a Face mask when in a medical facility. One woman came in with no mask on and no one said anything to her. I do like that the anesthesiologist comes and checks you personally, checks the placement of your IV and reviews your list of medications with you. It is located at the intersection of 2 main roads. There is plenty of Handicapped and regular parking. The facility is definitely handicapped accessible."

"I had surgery to fix my broken right ankle on 2/8/22. From the moment I arrived until I left, I was treated absolutely wonderful from all the staff there. My pre-op nurse Jessica, surgical nurse Christina and post-op Vanessa are just phenomenal with their patient care skills and made a stressful time more tolerable. Vanessa did a follow up call the next day also to check on me, which was so nice. I would highly recommend this facility. Christine Mazzarino"
