King's Daughters Medical Center (COE) Hospital

The staff was very slow to respond to patient needs. I had to lay in wet sheets for over two hours waiting for someone to change the linens. Call button was basically worthless. They would get to you when they felt like it and not a moment sooner.

The only problem I had was that they let some dirty kid transfer me from surgery and all my family felt terrified as I'm being wheeled in from surgery by some kid who was, literally, dirty. He then told me I'd have to climb from the transport bed because he couldn't get me over there himself. The nurses were all good except one.

Pre surgery care was great. Post care was very hit and miss. My first nurse was wonderful. The next was AWFUL. My husband got so upset with my care that I sent him home. I was told that every patient this nurse had that shift complained. The next nurse was nice but I felt she wasn't used to this unit. The last nurse seemed very competant but would always forget to bring me what I asked for. I felt like just a number in a bed. I am told these nurses are usually the best. I must have gotten the short end of the stick.

Overall, I think KDMC is a wonderful hospital. I have stayed in this hospital before and had very satisfactory stays. My stay for my surgery wasn't nearly as pleasant though. A few of the nurses that I had were very rude and not compassionate at all. I complained to the hospital after my stay. I did receive a call from someone and she was very nice and seemed genuinely concerned with the problems that I encountered during my stay. I felt reassured after our discussion that the situation would be handled. It also made me feel better that the hospital cared enough to call me. No complaints with my surgeon, Tim Wheeler, his office staff, pre-surgery staff, etc., just some of the nurses on the bariatric floor.

This hospital is full of caring people. I had the pleasure of having "The Bomb" Kellie as my nurse during my stay. She is a lovely person with a heart that is 100 times bigger than her smile. Everyone was very nice, helpful and caring. Thanks of all you did for me, my family and visitors.

I LIVE ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY,FROM THIS HOSPITAL,BUT IT WAS WORTH OUR TRAVELLING ,TO GET THE EXCELLENT CARE,I RECEIVED.

Excellent, I can't say enough good things about my whole experiance here

Professional/kind/up to date/top of the line

The nursing staff was great! I had vomiting the night of my surgery and they were right there when I needed them. Very sympathetic!

I can't say enough good things about King's Daughters. The staff is wonderful and the facilities are excellent.
