Inova Fair Oaks Hospital Hospital

I truely felt this hospital was the best fit for my WLS surgery.

The staff were very good to me I had only one problem with a nurse that did not show up except for once at the start of the night. Most of the nurses would look in on me to besure I was alright since I was normally so quiet. This one was no where to be found when I was having a bad time of it. Instead the aids helped me out. There was one nurse that was super that was Maria. She gave me a hug when I needed one from all the pain.

So far the only dealings I have had with the hospital is to go for my blood work and x-rays. They were very quick with getting me in and getting me out and I like that in a hospital.

Just about everyone I dealt with at the hospital was great. I have no complaints about the staff or the hospital. They were very efficient, friendly, and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better hospital stay.

M expectations had been high from all the things I had heard from others. I unfortunately must have staed during a full moon. I had one nurse who thought she was the doctor, one that nearly tore me apart with an enema (one week out and I am still in pain and have not recovered). One who decided not to pass on m request or concerns and many who left me waiting for as long as 40 minutes before answering a all button. I will never recmmend this facility to anyone.

Excellent hospital to have WLS at.

The majority of my nurses and CNAs were very responsive, just one CNA on one shift could have been better. I was able to have a private room which was wonderful.

I was a little weary with some of the earlier comments about how the staff was at INOVA. However, I found everyone to be very helpful and had no problems during my stay. They made my recovery painless and still maintained my privacy with my family.

The accomodations was like a 5 star hotel. Clean private room, attentive staff, all the amenities. I could not recommend a better facility.

My stay was for the most part EXCELENT. Some of the staff where over the top fantastic. And some where just ok. I once ladi in bed waiting for pain meds for and hour and a half this was not the nurses fault but a hospital glitch i believe , you see while the nurses are changing shift and being updated on the pt's there is NO nurse on the floor. which leaves pt's the the care of tech's for an hour or better. The tech are great they do what they can but Fair Oaks needs to adjust that schedule for at least 2 overlapping nurses. Any way all in all i was VERY satisfied with my stay and the way i was treated.
