Gulf Coast Medical Center Hospital

They don't hire enough staff to make sure everyone is taken care of.

The hospital was very nice and the staff were excellent. The nursing staff on the 2 South ward were top notch in every way.

From the time I signed in to the time I left, I was treated with the utmost respect. They were very kind and considerate. They helped me when ever I needed it. I would recommend this hospital to anyone. Some of the nurses have had this surgery done so they can relate and know what you are going through because they have done this before.

THE NURSES SEEMED LIKE THEY WANTED TO PUT ME OFF TO THE NEXT SHIFT.i WOULD ASK FOR HELP GETTING OUT OF BED SO THAT i COULD WALK AND IT WAS ALWAYS.. WE'LL LETS WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT SHIFT GETS HERE..FINALLY i SAID..iF YOU HELP ME OUT OF BED I WILL WALK MY SELF.I DIDN'T EVEN ASK ANYMORE AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES ,I GRINNED AND BARD IT ,PAINFUL GETTING IN AND OUT OF BED BUT A DOSE OF MORPHNE STOPPED THAT RIGHT AWAY..I PRACTICLLY TOOK CARE OF MYSELF WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MY IV'S.

I felt the Nursing staff was good, but my mother stayed with me 24/7 and she is a nurse so i knwo i got the best possiable attition from them . I also had 2 nurses that has had wls and they were more then helpful .

This was my second time at this hospital, the first for delivery of my child, when was the only hospital my doctor used. I would go back if I had to, but I try to refrain from going to any hospital at all unless to visit!!

My only complaint was with dietician Patty Bernstein. She came in to see me in the afternoon after surgery. I was still quite groggy. She hurriedly gave me some instructions, then told me that she would be on vaction for the next three weeks. She said if I had any questions, to call Cindy Shipman, the dietcian at the other local hospital. I tried to take notes, and after looking at them later, I could barely understand my own writing, I was so out of it. She should have recognized that and at least made sure that I was writing down what I needed to. Although my mother was in the room, she is 75 and could not take notes due to macular degeneration. I had been give a pamphlet early in the process, but Bernstein said my surgeon had just made several changes regarding the foods for weeks one and two. I did become dehydrated several days post op, and had to call Cindy Shipman, who I already knew. Cindy was most helpful.

I loved it the people were great, i felt great in the hospital.

I was treated very well, and left alone a LOT (which was PERFECT). Overall, I am very satisfied with this facility :).

This is my 4th experience with this hospital, and I have ALWAYS been well cared for here.
