On Christmas night 2025 I was recovering from hip replacement surgery when I fell and dislocated the hip. I was taken to Island Health Emergency Department where the staff was able to reset the joint. I was “out” and have little memory of this, but my family told me that their efforts and professionalism were exceptional. I don’t know who was involved, but they are due some special recognition.
Thank you for your patience, kindness and genuine care for your patients (Dr. Kotal)
You are amazing and give SO much to this community! (Dr. Neuenschwander & Dr. VanGaasBeek)
Thanks for always being there (Dr. Sweeney)
Island Health’s staff was great during my procedure yesterday: so friendly, reassuring, and competent. You’re the best! Yay Karen, Dr. Watkins, and others! (And my anesthesiologist!). Island Health is a superb organization.
I had knee surgery in March at Island Health. It’s always hard to approach an elective surgery even though you know it will improve your quality of life. It was lovely to be met by a warm and friendly group of nurses who made me comfortable. Thank you to the ones I met: Michael, Michelle, Tabitha and Dawn. Also thanks to my surgeons Alecia Cunniff and Dr. Secrist for taking on this revision.
Thank you all for taking care of me.
Thank you for your many years of care, creating a positive difference in my health and life. (Dr. Mathis)
Outstanding care for me. (Dr. Kotal)
We have lived here for 47 years. We have always appreciated Island Health and have tried to use whenever needed. Thank you also for our recent ED and ICU visits over Christmas time and also Soundview Rehab. Great planning by staff afterwards, creating a plan for patient care. Wonderful care!
Wonderful doctor. (Dr. Hogge)
This is a gift in honor of Doctor Ali Salari—great gift to this community. Thoroughly researched, professional, empathetic and tenacious, he instills confidence in his patients. He is fiercely loyal and follows through on referral with that same diligence.
I cannot say enough about the fabulous care I received! From the emergency department all the way to incredible food, my heartfelt thanks to everyone who took care of me! Since there were so many people who deserve to be mentioned, I have decided to simply name three people on this survey: Megan, Lindsay, and Leizel on floor number two. Since my care was exceptional, I plan to return in a few months for hip replacement surgery.
I love the way you guys treat the patience and very grateful for having you guys as my health providers. The doctors there are really great. I love all of you, and the nurses, too! My experience there is very appreciated and I really like the way things are there.
Dr Jennifer Reem, one of your ortho docs is great. She recognized the severity of my bicep tendon tear. Had me in the MRI machine in 3 days. Surgery followed with in 3-4 days. Follow up care was awesome as well! Thanks so much!
I could write a page on the wonderful care I have received from the ER nurses and doctors when I had pneumonia and Dr. Loura who did my surgery and all of the surgery nurses. Island Health is exceptional in care giving. Dr. Whitaker, my new primary care doctor is very caring and very concerned about my health. I really appreciate all the care I have received.
My husband and I are both in our mid-eighties and both have experienced wonderful ER care… I was given superb care in the ER and then overnight in the hospital. All of the hospital workers were amazingly expert at whatever their job was and caring. So, in short, I am appreciative of the excellent care I received.
Thank you for the many years of great care.

I had a great experience at my orthopedic appointment with Alecia Cunniff. She truly listened to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and provided excellent care. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this heard and cared for by a physician. I really appreciate her attention and professionalism—thank you!
