Salt Lake Regional Medical Center...?'s

Dr Richards did my surgery and I absolutely loved her.  I have had a great experience and would do it all over again if I needed to. She really is wonderful.  

I just had my bypass at SLR last Monday.  Dr. Richards did my surgery and she was fine.  As for the hospital, I wasn't very impressed.  The night nurse came in with a BIG mug of ice water and had me sucking through a straw all night, which is a big no no.  My food was not right (they gave me sugar!!), and nobody explained anything.  No wonder I was totally nauseated by the next day. My nurse was nice, but she had a very heavy accent and spoke really fast, so it was difficult to understand her.

I  had Dr, Richards as well......not impressed w/ salt lake reg was a terrible hospitol!!!!!!! They sent me home less then 24 hours later w/ barley any instructions and I had no clue of what to do....but i guess i figured it out..lol

Christie,

Have you checked w/ Cottonwood hospital? I was self pay ( 5 yrs ago) and they were awesome!

I actually had my RNY @ St Marks on June 12th and they were so great!  I have a great doctor and they have a contract w/St Marks that really helps the self pay patients out quite a bit.
