Park Plaza Hospital Hospital
The staff is wonderful, all the way from the admitting crew to the food service and room service people. Regina and Matthew made what I thought would be a miserable stay wonderful. They were caring and just super great. Everyone was wonderful. They were very accomodating to my mom and husband. Although, the sleeping arrangements were not optimum for my 70 yr old mother. They have a window seat that doubles as an extra bed and apparently it isnt that comfy (according to my mom). Other than that it was a great stay.
I can not say enough good things about my hospital stay. Park Plaza has a bariatric wing specifically for WLS patients. The staff is extrememly responsive and well trained to handle any questions you might throw at them. I felt very at home during my stay. I would recommend it to anyone going through this type of procedure.
I didn't like the fact that parking was $8.00/day for my husband who stayed with me.
Also, I didn't like that there were (supposedly)no Anesthesiologists there at night?? That's what the nurse on duty told me. My original IV was done by an Anesthesiologist before my surgery and he numbed it with Lidocaine first so I didn't feel the IV being put in. However, my IV blew out one night around 11 and the nurse on duty said it would have to be redone and there was NO ONE there to numb it. She had to call a nurse up from ICU to redo it because she didn't feel comfortable. She said there were no anesthesiologists there after 9 pm. I was fuming! What about women in labor at night who need epidurals? Or a patient staying in the hospital who needs emergency surgery in the night? There had to be an anesthesiolgist there, but I was told by 2 nurses that there wasn't and my IV line had to be redone and pretty much, "tough" about it hurting......
