Peace Island Medical Center offers a sense of wellness | Letters

I may be new on the island but I have been here long enough to know that an extremely positive experience with Peace Health should find its way to these pages.

I was calling on my physician because of a painful foot. He immediately diagnosed it as a planter’s wart beneath the skin, and then Dr. Gunderson did something remarkable: rolled up his sleeves and surgically removed it on the spot.

I say remarkable because, as you know, back in Seattle my primary care physician would have said, “I’m going to refer you to a podiatrist” and I’d have to wait for an appointment there. But here, I just walked out.

That, and the fact that like a good hotel or spa, Peace Health is such a beautifully designed and appointed facility, a sense of wellness starts at the door and in the lobby. I feel this with every visit.
