Desert Springs Hospital Hospital
I thought they were a good hospital very helpful and full of wisdom on WLS. They staff was very nice and caring. When I woke up I was in SO much pain. I had the worst headache to boot. I asked for pain med and they told me that they could not give me any more. My breathing was not so good. Other then that it was a very good hospital.
The staff that worked with me were excellent. I felt like I was in good hands from the moment they took charge of me. The Bariatric nurse was extremely helpful. She provided so much information and had it written down so I can reread it anytime I want to.
I must say that this is one of the dirtiest hospitals I have been in. My mother had heart surgery there about 7 years ago. It was filthy then and still is. While my husband was waiting for me during surgery a few nurses walked by him, and they were commenting on how dirty the floors were. So it is not just me that think it is dirty.
I was really worried about having my Band surgery at Desert Springs because I had never been there before. And have had some really horrible experiences at Hospitals in this town. This was very different they were so nice and accommodating. I felt that they new what they were doing. They were always asking me if I needed anything and if I pushed the call button someone came right away. The nurses and nurses assistants were very nice. It was the best hospital stay I had ever had which I didn't think was possible.
