The George Washington University Hospital Hospital

This was overall a great hospital. My only complaints are #1 I was in the recovery room for over 4hrs because there were no beds. #2 My upper GI Test on Saturday was supposed to be in the morning and I didn't have it until 5pm because the nurses on staff weren't communicating with that department. #3 The day time nurses were not that responsive when I called and not all together nice. This was my first hospital stay ever and for the most part it was a good experience.

My only concern, was I kept being disturb by the dinning staff, when I DIDNT have ANY food!

The staff was wonderful.

The complete GWU staff were superb. The pre-surgical nurses, the medical students, the blessed anaesthesiologist, my surgeon, the post-surgical nurses & techs were absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough about how responsive & attentive they were to my needs. A special kudos to nurse-practitioner Denise Johnstone for her attentive care, over the telephone.

I was in a private room which was great. Everyone I can into contact with was very nice and respectable. The nurses were helpful and never made me feel as though I was bothering them. My surgeon has a wonderful team and I got to see all of them everyday. It was a good hospital visit.

It was very clean and everyone was friendly. I also like that there was a security code that I could give my family and friends so that they could find out about me. Not anyone can just call and find out about a patient there.

The nursing staff was wonderful. Technician Trenita was outstanding in performing her duties.

Actually the hospital staff especially all the nurses and the tech were sooooooooooo good to me. I think I will try to take them something the next time I am over there. They were just the best. The only trouble we had was in recovery. I was there forever 10:30 am- 7 pm because they claimed to be "cleaning" the room then we had one and they gave it to this man instead and then I had to wait a few more hours for yet another room to be cleaned. Once I finally arrived in my room it was very nice experience.

Everyone was wonderful. Excellent care they are always checking on you to make sure you are doing well.

I really enjoyed my stay at GW Hospital. They was very very attentive. They were helpful in all way that you can think of. THe one thing that I had a problem with was parking. They gave me one voucher while, I was there for there days. My visitors had to park some blocks away and pay for parking. Othen then that, my experience was overall great!!!!
