Alexian Brothers Medical Center (COE) Hospital

I had a roomate who had 13 people in the room at one time-5 of them under the age of 7. Her grandson turned up the volume of her tv so high I couldn't hear mine. They eventually moved her , but the kids ran up and down the halls and once right into me-that felt real good 3 days after surgery. Response to my calls was very slow and the nurses were very cold except for one. When I asked why things were so chaotic I was told it was a holiday w-end. My surgery was May25th so I was there over Memprial /day w-end. I don't feel that was an adequate answer.

When I went to my room immediately after the recovery room there were visitors with my room mate, it was very hard to rest even though I was very tired. They appologized but privacy during the first few hours post op would have been nice. The valet parking was a wait but at least it was there. There was one woman in pretesting that I wish I had never gone into a field requiring human contact, she was impatient and made me feel like I was putting her out.

EXCELLENT TREATMENT

Would have the surgery tomorrow... that was how well I was treated.

In my pre-op testing and other recent interaction with this hospital, I have received nothing but excellent care.

Accommodations are very dated. Surgery in August, room on top floor-it was so hot we sweat in bed, my husband had to bring a fan because they did not have enough.

Great hospital, geared towards the obese. Very understanding staff.

The staff could not have been better. They came quickly each and every time I needed them. They were not only attentive but also sweet.

I don't think I could have had better care anywhere else.

Day Staff was excellent and caring Night time on the weekend brought in people that seemed inexperienced and one young man was rough and careless when moving me around, knocking my IV and cathera which really hurt.
