Geary Community Hospital Hospital
**Note** This review was written in 2003.
This hospital is a relatively small hospital compared to the hospitals where I live. But, they are extremely up to date. I felt very comfortable knowing that if anything went wrong, or if I needed emergency care; this hospital was equipped.
Comments: I haven't had surgery yet, but with having my sister go through it here and having my pre-op here. What I have seen so far is just excellence. Above board quality people, and quality facility. Very caring. What I like is that it isn't a big hospital. So, when you see the staff in the hall or cafeteria they remember you and ask how you are or in my case they asked how my sister was doing. So, I feel extremely comfortable and confident in this hospital.~ Okay, now I have had my surgery. I am still espousing the virtues of this hospital. It is clean, the staff and volunteers are friendly, the gift shop is quaint, and the hospital is just so well equipped with updated equipment. Not to mention that the hospital does cater to the larger person. I've read on this site where a lot of doctors offices don't have scales that go beyond 350. Well, that is ridiculous. They have scales that would weigh anyone I would imagine. They also have oversized wheel chairs and oversized chairs. So, whether you are a patient or a guest they make sure you are comfortable. I highly recommend this hospital for anyone thinking of having the surgery
When I first chose to travel 4 1/2 hours away from home to have my RNY, I was concerned about many issues, they put my fears to rest quickly!! They were wonderful to my husband and family, and even when my family had to come home the nurses would call home for me so I could talk to them. My local hospital would never do anything like that. I would reccomend Geary Community Hospital to anyone that is thinking of having the surgery!! A great group of well trained people!! I consider many of them my angels to this day!!
ICU was wonderful. The nurses were very helpful and made sure I was comfortable the entire time I was in there. When I went out onto the floor, it seemed as though the nurses were clueless. There was a time when I ran out of pain meds, and it wasn't changed for an hour. They didn't put the leg massagers on me, and they didn't remind to walk very often. They seemed kinda forgetful.
