Inova Fair Oaks Hospital Hospital

I was in CCU, at first because of my sleep apnea (which I did not have to use C-pap while there)and also then later because of shortage of beds on the floor. The nursing staff was absolutely wonderful in their care of me. There were friendly, quick to respond and very supportive. I am extremely pleased with my care at FOH.

Very clean, very professional in all areas except the one mentioned above. I would certainly choose this hospital again.

I cannot say enough good things about Fiar Oaks. Even my mother was completely impressed with the professional yet friendly manner of the staff. She was tickled pink by the beeper they gave her in case they needed to contact her while I was in surgery. The care was excellent, the pain managment the best I've had and the staff was absolutely wonderful. The response time, even of the night nurses, was less than one minute from the time I clicked the call button. They weren't even mad when I clicked the call button instead of the TV button like 5 times. (They were on the same remote.) When my three days were up, I almost didn't want to leave.

All I can say is the nurses are great. However, the nurse assistance were awful. Made me feel bad, like they did not understand what I was going through and felt I can do everything by myself. I just felt they were lacking the training to deal with the kind of patient I was.

The staff was very pleasant, kind, & respectful of patients. Offered to assist as needed. Quick to answer call lights. They houskeepers, dietary, etc workers were so kind when coming into the room. Nurses were knowledgeable. (were there for more than to put their 8 hours in)

One of the great things in the hospital was the bed, it changed into a large recliner, to assist you in getting out of the bed, the back to a regular hospital bed when you where ready. That was really helpful for me to get in and out.

I did not like the fact that I was stuck in ICU the entire time because the hospital was full. NO SHOWER!!!! I would have liked to be with people who had the same surgery.

I would like the nurses to have more specific information about the surgery and dietary requirements especially on the ward where most WL patients are located.

I think they are a fantastic hospital and the staff is very attentive to your needs. Would highly recommend this hospital.

It was a nice hospital and most people were nice. The room that I was placed in didn't have the overhead lift bar which made it harder for me to get out of bed without having assistance.
