I had a couple issues with this hospital, we drove a ways to use this hospital, and they would NOT allow my spouse to stay there with me, and I had another bed in my room, that was never used, he was not even allowed to stay in the waiting rooms, I was not really happy with that! Also, I had nurses get snappy with me and also telling me that I could eat sugar and gave me jello with sugar and told me I could eat that and it made me sick. I also had a nurse offer me icecream and then shurbet??? I thought the whole point of having this surgery was to stay away from this stuff and foods with sugar, I dont feel that they were very well trained. I also had a nurse tell me that I didnt need to have the surgery, and asked why I was having it, I told here I met the qualifications of having the surgery and unless she spent time in my shoes, she would not have any idea of what I have gone through. There were a couple other issues, but other than that, most people were very nice in there.
It's wonderful. The staff provides excellant service, excellent pain control and encouragement. It's the only hospital that I would choose to have a surgery done at.
ICU staff was very knowledgeable and great. Most of the nurse were compitent. I had more problems when I got to the floor. Same story as any other hospital though. There is just not enough nurses so they are responsible for to many patients but in a since still not as bad as what I am use to working in this profession.
The hospital experience to me is a combination of facilities and staff. The facilities certainly are sufficient for a comfortable stay, but they do have some age on them. The medical facilities, however, were all first-rate and rather new. In my experience, it was the TREMENDOUS staff that made such a difference. I spent an extra day in ICU, rather than just one night, and those nurses and CNA's were nothing short of angels. They are very attuned to the gastric bypass surgery patient, and extremely attentive to the pain and movement issues. They assisted me in every adventure of walking, and were very supportive of my initial recovery. They asked frequently if I needed anything else, and whether or not they were meeting my expectations.
My experience out on the floor, 3rd floor, was just as good. I was moved out of ICU on the Friday of Labor Day weekend; usually a holiday weekend means scarce attention. I never had the same nurse twice, and every one of those wonderful ladies(yes, mine were all women) was knowledgeable, extremely competent, answered my questions, communicated ideas to help me heal or remain healthy once I went home, was caring, and checked on me regularly without me asking for help. And every one of them in some way asked for my impression of their care and how they could improve. The CNA's were also very nice, competent, and concerned about my care. These people actually enjoy working as part of the bariatric team, they seem to be proud of what they do, and want to do it better than anywhere else. And it shows!
Great Hospital, Great Staff. I had a wonderful stay and enjoyed it as much as one can after a surgery!
Every one was awesome. I felt really comfortable in the hospital. Everyone was so friendly and supportive. My pain management was really good and service was good. I felt I was really cared for.
This hospital, the nursing staff and the Doctors' were fantastic! The only non-Excellent rating above is only because as a post-op, I hurt so bad there was no way I could get rest. I was in a two person room but it was quiet enough that I was the only one in the room. The staff came in and removed the other bed and brought in some more chairs for visitors and a RECLINER that elevated up so I didn't have to sit down then it was able to slowly lower with me! That recliner was a God send. I'm only 5 ft 2 and getting into the beds and getting out of them are very painful when you have stitches from just between you boobs to past your belly-button. The recliner was the only truly restful sleep!
