Blodgett Campus Hospital

The building is very old, one of the original in the community. I am pleased to see it used and renovated as it's intent was. Spectrum is still in the process of updating the facility and there are a few inconveniences, but nothing that effected my stay there. Excellent.

The bariatric floor is excellent. The staff went above and beyond, especially the social worker who combed the whole hospital for protein stuff for me.
The ER though is a different story. They put me in a room back in the corner where I was out of ear shot, never gave me a call button and then started a potassium i.v. (which is very painful) and just left without telling me it was going to hurt. I sat there crying for help for over an hour and nobody came. I was dog sick and they were very careless from the start. They told me to go to room 16 and someone would be right with me. The room was dark. The lightswitch turned out to be outside in the hall. There was no pillow, nothing and it was awhile before anyone came in. That's pretty much how the whole ER experience went. I expected it to be much different after having been treated so well as an in-patient.

The staff was great, i never waited more than a minute when i pushed the call buttton. They did all they could to accomidate me. I have absolutely no complaints at all about Spectrum Health East Grand Rapids MI..I'm glad my surgeon uses them.

ver nice, friendly staff, only complaint, I had 2 nurses that were not from the bariatric floor and knew very little about aftercare, but they were very nice.

It is clean, the staff is very helpful, I felt very comfortable. I would go back to this one for anything.

Overall I felt confident and comfortable with my surgeon, his associates and the staff that provided me with Medical treatment and care at Spectrum East/ Blogget Hospital.

The Bariatric Unit at Blodgett is nicely equipped for larger patients. My only recommendation is to improve the appearance (i.e. decor) as it is rather sterile.

A lot of construction- makes the hospital difficult to access at this time.My grandmother fell on the ice comming to see me. The hospital was very accomodating and sensitive to this, checked her over and replaced her glasses. The staff was very helpful and appeared genuinely concerned with my welfare. I was uncomfortable, but up walking the same day and released 48 hours after surgery without complications.

I found night time very noisy in the hospital. One night there was even a fire drill.

Very prepared for bariatric patients and I felt sympathetic to needs.
