Newton-Wellesley Hospital Hospital
The patient care here is excellent from admission to discharge and post discharge. I was impressed at how well organized and professional everyone I encountered was. This staff definately understands the concept of caring and compassion. The Team work was very impressive. The Surgeons work as a team as well. I cannot say enough good things.
The staff at the hospital is excellent, very caring and supportive. My husband was allowed to visit any time without a problem. The hospital provided oversize chairs, wheelchairs, gowns, and special bariatric beds to accomodate the needs of obese patients. <p>There were some communication problems during my stay (my diet was never advanced, so I got the same meal every meal for the 4 days I was there and I was not given my normal maintenance medications for asthma & depression until I was wheezing, had oxygen problems and was crying for no reason on day 3). I was concerned by this. I was provided with a morphine pump and later liquid medications, but I felt that my pain could have been much better controlled (the morphine only helped when I took enough to knock myself out -- I was usually around a 5 on a pain rating scale of 1 to 10).
