Easton Hospital Hospital
The best nurse was an overnight nurse named sharon. she was the best. All the other nurses, i had to remind them of my pain medication. and they hardly came in my room. One of the doctors, (not koren) came in and turned on the light (its 5 am) and yelled very loudly, "are you sleeping? i have to ask you some questions!" oh god i wanted to smack him.
The staff are wonderful at the hospital, very helpful and sensitive to patient needs. I was disappointed in the fact that my room was across the hall from the ice machine, so I had to have my door closed so that I could sleep, otherwise all I heard was the ice dropping in the machine. That's my only complaint with the hospital!
The Bariatric surgery staff has so much respect for Dr. Koren, that they are all so willing to take extra good care of his patients. Too, he treats them with the utmost respect, which is really great to see. Mandy Nyce is the Bariatric Surgery Coordinator, and knowing that she would have an integral role in my pre and post-op care was a determining factor in my selecting Dr. Koren. She should be given a raise!
One special nurse -- Brian, who worked the 7:30PM to 7:30AM shift. He was absolutely wonderful to me. Responsive, professional, fun, caring and brought the whole staff in to my room at 6:15AM on 12/15, to sing Happy Birthday to me. It was my birthday and he wanted to make it even more special. He is a gem and I hope that Easton Hospital realizes that.
The hospital is under staffed. It was hard a times to get someone to respond to my calls. They had one night nurse "Brian" that came to my aid ASAP every time my call light went off. My room was right across from the utility room and I had to ask that my door stay closed due to the door slamming shut all the time. Dr. Koren and Mandy where wonderful.
