Methodist Hospital of Sacramento Hospital

Three months ago I had a sleeve gastrectomy performed by Dr. Benjamin Shadle. I have lost 57 pounds so far and I am off all of my blood pressure medications (4 total), my cholesterol level is under the normal range, I no longer am diabetic, all my vitamin levels are great, and I have had no issues with any foods and I can drink fluids like I did before surgery. I truly believe my progress and the fact that I have had no issues with eating or drinking is due to Dr. Shadle’s expertise as a surgeon and a doctor. He is my miracle worker. When I told him that he of course wouldn’t take any of the credit and told me I did all the work. I can’t thank him enough for literally giving me my life back. When every diet and exercise program I tried failed, the procedure he performed on me didn’t. For anyone contemplating this surgery, I hope you follow through and do it AND, if you do, I hope you are fortunate enough to have Dr. Shadle as your surgeon. He is the best, most kind, and compassionate doctor I have ever met. His staff is professional and very welcoming as well. Thank you again Dr. Shadle for helping me to live a longer, healthier, and happier life.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Shadle. He is the very best.

I searched far and wide for a doctor and a Center of Excellence before coming across Dr. Shadle and his staff. I knew immediately upon meeting Dr. Shadle that this is where I belonged. He and his staff made the entire process, from the pre-surgical support programs to surgery and to the post surgical support programs, so easy. Dr. Shadle explained everything to me, answered any question that I came up with and made me feel very comfortable in the process. In today's fast-paced world of busy, busy, busy, Dr. Shadle takes the time to stop and listen. He gives genuine answers and truly cares about his patients. Dr. Shadle also has a bedside manner that is non-existent with most physicians today. He is a truly impressive, caring and kind individual. I am grateful to him for helping me reach my life goals and I know that I made the right decision. Thank you Dr. Shadle! :)

The Staff was wonderful and my experience was great! if i had to do it again i would have my proceedure there with out any hesitation....

Great Surgeon I trust him with my life! His team is amazing,Im so happy Im in such great hands...

From the admitting staff to the nursing staff that took care of me..I could have not asked for better car. I was offered my own room and catered too, I was well taken care of.

I had a good experience at this hospital.

As hospitals go, this one was fine. It probably would not be my first choice, but I was fine with it in the end. My husband did not like the hospital at all.

I was in the the hospital for a little over three days and my stay was fine. The only thing I did not like was my roommate, an elderly woman who had dimensia and kept me up all night long every night. Also, there was another elderly patient down the hall who kept screaming constantly for half the day and half the night. It drove me crazy!! I didn't really get any rest until I returned home. The nurses were nice, but my floor was obdviously understaffed and sometimes it took them awhile to respond to the call button. Other than these issues, my stay was pleasant.

I was actually not happy with this hospital whenI first learned this was the only one I could use. I'd heard horrible things about the staff and the hospital in general.
However, I was completely surprised. The staff is excellent, the hospital quiet and not over crowded. In general . I'd recommended this hospital and staff to anyone and will return to this hospital for any surgies or procedures I will ever need.
