"I had an appendectomy at Cox and this was my surgeon. I am 41 years old. First of all, I am on a medication that makes opiate pain medications not work unless you tailor a plan around that medication. They did not do that and I was in severe pain when I woke up. I was treated as nuisance rather than listened to. They used a strong preventative antibiotic and sent me home with stool softeners. Within a week I was diagnosed with C-diff and an intra-abdominal abscess. Had to be readmitted for severe complications and spent 5 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics to treat the various infections they gave me. I have since had other doctors tell me she is not a good surgeon, that she leaves you under too long among other things. I will never have an operation at Cox again. She should be reviewed especially if she has had many young healthy people that developed these problems. "

"October 2019, I had emergency gall bladder surgery. I was so blessed to have Dr. Woods as the ER surgeon. She was caring, compassionate, and understanding. She explained everything and made sure I understood. I couldn't ask for better care and follow-up. I appreciate all the personnel at Cox South for the care that was given to me."
