Morristown Memorial Hospital Hospital

The staff was nice, and they encouraged me to get up and walk. Some nurses were better than others, but overall, everyone was great.

The hospital has always been and seems accomidating.

As like most hospitals, it seems to be a bit understaffed. Sometimes had to wait 1/2 an hour for nurses to get to me, but the care was overall good.

My overall experience was great. I had several nurses that took good care of me. Unfortunately, I did have alot of pain and sometimes felt that the nurses weren't as prompt as they could've been. But they did bathe me and gave me anything I needed. Whenever I was awake, I felt like my parents and b/f were there, so having visitors was never a problem. I was in the same room with another WLS patient, so we took our "first walk" together and it made it alot easier. As far as I know, unless its overcrowded, there is a gastric bypass wing, so most WLS patients are with others who had a similar surgery. I also had an emergency surgery there with the same surgeon 6 months later, and I have to say, Dr. McLean, Dr. Ward and all the nurses at Morristown are wonderful. I live 1 hour away from the hospital, but would go there in a heartbeat. They really took great care of me and were genuinely concerned for my well-being and health. I recommend this hospital and the surgeons to anyone looking to have WLS, even if you have to travel a few hours- it is worth it!

I found the hospital very good for care. The poor nurses are so understaffed it seems. They really work so very hard. But thats seems to be everywhere. I was very pleased overall.

The nurses were absolutely fantastic. They never complained and always were smiling. All of the nurses were great but Karen was extra special. It was just so obvious that she loves her job and I really looked forward to seeing her on her next shift. The second night I was in the hospital the 10 to 2 pm shift was really noisy. I heard the nurses say that they were understaffed and you could tell. There was lots of shouting down the hall to get this one this medication from the pharmacy or to go attend to Patient X in that room. They were working their BUTTS off. Then after 2 am it got so quiet--like it hadn't ever been for the rest of my stay. It was great. I slept for 4 hours straight and I felt so much better when I woke up.
All in all, I received very good care at Morristown Memorial Hospital and would highly recommend it.

Everything went fine. Hospital staff very busy but when you got them in the room, they were very accommodating.

Excellent service. As good as you could hope for.

From the day of registration to my hospital stay I found each stage of the hospial personals to be professional and efficient .The nurses were great and well informed about the surgery. It's amazing how small things can impress me , but I loved the valet parking at the hospial.

I was only their 5days. My stay was plesant and it was very nice being waited on hand and foot
