“Providing exceptional patient care is what makes the CVOU team stand out.” In this unit, especially after the Watchman procedure, they strive to ensure that every patient experiences the highest level of care and comfort. Their dedication goes beyond just fulfilling medical responsibilities—they treat our patients as if they are in a five-star hotel, making their hospital stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
After undergoing the Watchman procedure, patients often come to their follow-up visit appointments, expressing their gratitude for the outstanding care they received during their hospital stay. Many of them share how the nurses made them feel at ease despite their initial anxiety before surgery. The team’s attentiveness, knowledge, and professionalism allow patients to trust that they are in good hands. Every interaction is handled with kindness and expertise, ensuring that each patient receives the individualized care they deserve.
CVOU team is not only efficient but also compassionate. They work seamlessly to provide care that is not just medically excellent but also deeply personal. Patients recognize the dedication and teamwork that define their unit, often expressing how grateful they are for the level of attention and detail they provide. They leave the hospital not just treated but truly cared for.
One of the most life-changing aspects of the Watchman procedure is that it allows patients to discontinue the use of blood thinners, improving their quality of life significantly. Being part of a team that helps change lives in such a meaningful way is a privilege. Despite the volume of patients they see, their team remains professional, calm, and friendly. They prioritize patient safety and ensure that every procedure is handled with precision and care.
Ultimately, being the best DAISY team is about more than just doing their jobs—it’s about making a difference. They provide not only expert medical care but also reassurance, comfort, and hope. Through their dedication, they help transform patient experiences, making their journey through treatment as smooth and positive as possible. Their commitment to excellence ensures that every patient leaves with a sense of gratitude, knowing they’re truly cared for by a team that values their well-being above all else.
