Providence General & Specialty Surgery - Spokane

I recently had two hernias repaired by Dr. Horn, and I am so grateful for the incredible job she did, alongside the entire care team. The whole process a breeze, I recovered quickly, and Dr. Horn’s obvious knowledge and skill put me at ease from start to finish. Thank you!

I had my Septoplasty on 1/18 with Dr. Cruz and am beyond happy with my recovery & care received. From check-in to discharge, every person that was part of my care, were top notch! Dr. Cruz, the anesthesiologist, to the nurses, were all so caring, understanding and just amazing. Recovery has far exceeded how I thought it would go. Highly recommend Dr. Cruz and staff!!!

I've just had surgery performed on me to repair inguinal hernia. The results are nothing less than phenomenal.
The surgeons name is Dr. Jonathan Nickoloff. I had a relatively pronounced limp up until yesterday. His skills have nearly eliminated the symptoms previous to surgery; after 24hrs!
I will definitely recommend Dr. Nickoloff & Columbia Surgical Specialists to anyone requiring their services.
The entire staff was extremely professional, kind, & attentive.
Thank you, folks.

Big thank you to Dr. Berger and his assistant Emily. I had surgery with Dr. Berger four days ago, and I already feel better than before the surgery. I had questions before, and after the surgery and Emily was very responsive, she has been answering all my questions and concerns. Thank you very much. I would recommend them to my friends.

So grateful to Columbia Surgical Specialist! My hernia surgery experience was terriffic and the staff, from customer service over the phone, to all staff and doctors I dealt with in person, were all world class! Thanks to Dr. Brown and all intake, pre-op, and recovery staff for making a day I was not looking forward to as good as it could be! Grateful for you all and pray the Lord blesses your practice and each of you as you have me!

I highly recommend Dr. Brown. He was able to work me into his surgical schedule on a Thursday so that I did not have to stay the weekend in the hospital in order to have the surgery on Monday. He is thorough in explaining exactly what he was going to do and what I could expect. He took the time to listen and is extremely personable. What's even better is that the initial surgeon that saw me but was unable to do the surgery told me he would let him operate on him anytime. That speaks volumes!

Columbus surgery center should be classified as the number one rating.
The staff is outstanding, the surgery unit exceptional, the recovery nurse was beyond explanation, just superb all around.
I have never seen a surgery unit that efficient and professional in my life.
They definitely top the all time favorite.
Can't thank you enough.

Today I feel like the ending of the movie Its a Wonderful Life thanks to Surgical Specialists of Spokane. What a great experience. Best hospital I have ever been too. Dr. McNevins was my surgeon. I am only on day two of being out of surgery but I feel human again! I have been in so much pain for 4 weeks. I saw doctor McNevins for the first time April 29th he saw the problem immediately and had a plan. Straight to the point I was scheduled for surgery 5/8 when I went in it was like I was walking into someone’s house. Everyone was so kind. They were laughing and joking with each other. Every one had great confidence and communication skills I felt so comfortable even considering the pain I was in and the fear I had since I had never had surgery before. I had never been on anesthesia before either but they were just so confident in what they were doing I was rolling with it. Got set up in the OR was knocked out really quick with anesthesia (the anesthesiologists was really nice too) anyway I cannot believed how well the surgery actually went. It worked! I am happy today. I haven’t felt healthy for 4 weeks which when you are in that much pain 4 weeks can feel like years. Thank you guys so much for a wonderful experience and taking great care of me and thank you to the nurses that were so kind and stayed with me even when I ugly cried when I woke up because I was so relieved I wasn’t in pain. I honestly had no idea what to expect but I was not expecting to feel no pain when I woke up. I was expecting to feel horrifying amounts of pain when I woke up to be honest. But nope! Dr. McNevins, you are a master!

I had hernia surgery at Columbia Surgical Specialists by Dr. Jon Nickoloff in late September. I am totally impressed with Dr. Nickoloff and the staff at the surgical offices. They made me feel as comfortable as possible, answered my questions, and listened to my concerns. The surgery went off like clockwork and I was home by mid-afternoon. Besides Dr. Nickoloff’s excellent work, what impressed my most about the staff is their willingness to spend as much time with me as needed to answer my questions and put me at ease. If one has to have surgery, I highly recommend Columbia Surgical Specialists.

Dr. Mitchell is awesome! He immediately put me at ease and has been forthcoming, proficient and compassionate. It is evident that he genuinely cares about his patients. His staff is caring and supportive as well. I am so grateful he was recommended to me! THANK YOU!

You can tell the people here really care about their patients. They are kind, patient and organized. I wish more business were like this. I can call them and they answer the phone to offer help/guidance.
I spent hours on the phone with Kaiser Permanente and they were useless and weren't able to offer me any help or guidance. Kaiser Permanente only wanted my money and did not offer any help. Kaiser Permanente only made excuses and had no answers.

Dr. David Brown and his whole staff were wonderful! So great to be able to eat and sleep without or wake up vomiting. Thank you all for your great, caring and friendly treatment. Holy Family Hospital surgerical staff you rock.

Columbia Surgical Institute is awesome. They are by far the fastest doctor’s office I’ve ever been too. Also when scheduling appointments you can get in quickly. Staff and doctors are very nice and professional (Dr. Ledoboer is the best). Highly recommend!

I was treated for an inguinal hernia. I can honestly say it went extremely smoothly. Everyone was very friendly and caring. Dr. Malladi is an outstanding surgeon with an excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend him.

Dr Schmitt performed surgery on my ear at Columbia surgical and it was a great experience.from check in to check out everything was top notch. I couldn’t ask for a better place to have a procedure. Very clean, very efficient, very friendly and personable staff.

I had Dr. McNevin for a office procedure and he explained all my options. He answered all my question. Dr. McNevin was superior to same care I received at Veterans Hospital! Thank you all the hard work and hospitality is truly appreciated!

I’ve has several surgeries performed by Dr. Seltman and have been nothing impressed by the care of everyone. I feel like I’m in the care of safe, comforting medical staff, which is just what you want when in a vulnerable situation like surgery.

One of the very best i have had operate. What a team. Dr Brown and his team on surgery. Comfortable room. Great food. Overall remarkable.

I cannot reccomend this group of people enough. Came from out of town for appt. Got me in surgery the next day. Everyone was friendly and made me comfortable on such a short turn around.

Welcoming environment,
Pre op treatment was comforting and efficient

Don’t recall surgery,

but post op was just as good as pre op
