Medstar Franklin Square Medical Center Hospital

The staff was very nice and it did not take long when you called for a nurse. My wife stayed with me the whole time I was in the hospital and they never said a word. they even found a chair that folded flat so that she could sleep at night.

I had my gall bladder out and was out in 5 hours I was not awake or even with it when they released me. That I don't think was good. other than that they were fine.

My stay at this hospital was a pretty good one with the exception of 1 night. My roommate and I were awoken just about every hour (it seemed like) to have our vitals taken - if it wasnt my turn, it was my roommates turn. The nurse would turn on the overhead light instead of the individuals' light.

It's hard to judge this hospital because I wasn't on the usual floor for bariatric patients I was on a differnet floor and they had no experience at all with WLS pts. They tried to make me eat the day after sugery. When I went in to have hernia repair I was on the floor for bariatric pts. and it was much better.

I was satisfied with my 4 day stay but I do have to say it was great that they let my husband spend the night with me.

NONE

The hospital was great. The doctors and nurses were wonderful. The nurses assistants left a little to be desired, but they weren't too bad.

It was really helpful to have my husband and sister-in-law (a nurse) there with me alot to assit me. The nurses were very nice and helpful, but they just don't have enough time to tend to all your needs, so was very helpful to have someone there with me to help get me out of bed, on the toliet, etc...

I have no ill thoughts about the hospital. I would go there again if the need arises. I had a better staff then some of my peers..but they weren't the greatest. I seemed to have alot of traveling nurses. They come and they go and don't really understand bariatric patients.

I found the hospital to be very comforting and the facility very good. My husband was given free reign over me and what I wanted, but the staff was always there to assist if wanted and to take charge when needed.
