Community General Osteopathic Hospital Hospital

I've heard some stories about this hospital that scared me but I had a beautiful experience here and want to thank them for it.

They have a bariatric wing, which gave me confidence that they were experienced and able to handle any situations that might come up.

The entire staff was the best I have ever encountered in my 30 years in emergency services. The staff must have been hand picked from the best of the best as they treated you as one of their own.

parking and noise were my only complaints. the noise at night was excessive. Deb, the nite nurse as excellent and caring, she did things to make me comfortable that no one else even thought of..

Staff in Bariatric Wing was exceptional, only had 1 nurse who was consistantly "too busy" to handle things. The aides were all SUPERIOR.
Staff in Regular Wing were very nice, but not experienced with Bariatric care and obviously busier with more patients to deal with. Still, very helpful and considerate.

The staff at General Community were WONDERFUL. They were all attentive and helpful. I can't say enough good things about them. I'd recommend the surgeons and hospital to anyone.

Very comfortable, great support staff, great working environment for my surgeon and his associates. The parking is a bit poor, but that was the least of my worries.

I did not get help in bathing or walking the hall, I was not assisted in to many ways. I was not to impressed at all.

the nurses were great. They were very helpful.

The nursing staff was absolutely wonderful to me. I had very few problems and whatever small issues I had were addressed immediately. My surgery was delayed for 4 hours and the staff kept me aprised of the situation. My surgeon had an emergency and the delay was understandable. I was seen frequently by one of several doctors, including both surgeons from the medical practice that handled my surgery. Dr. Currie and Dr. DiMarco were oustanding and made me extremely comfortable throughout the process. The only negative comment I have to make is that the patient that was in the room next to me (a dental surgeon) was ridiculously demanding and loud and gave absolutely no thought to other patients on the floor. This of course was not the fault of the hospital and they were very accomodating to him and he was rude and obnoxious in return. I felt the fee of 50 dollars a night extra for a private room was extremely reasonable and well worth it.
Now if other floors would stop stealing the large wheel chairs from the bariatric floor everything would be wonderful :)
