Parkview Hospital and Medical Center Hospital
I felt they did a great job of creating a unit and an atmosphere that would make bariatric patients comfortable. Kudos to you Parkview.... After this experience I would never recommend a hospital that didn't have a dedicated unit... no matter how pretty it was... it makes all the difference in the world!!!!
The hospital in genereal needs remodeling and specifically noise reduction changes. Carpeting would help to reduce noise and possibly the soft sided walls to absorb noise. The hospital is very noisey and difficult to sleep. Had to keep my door close all the time due to the noise level, especially at night.
I have to applaud the nursing staff at Parkview. They are the BEST! I had a rough time with recovery and they never left my side. There wasn't a nurse I didn't like. I was treated VERY well and felt well cared for. I knew I was getting the best and genuinely, most caring staff. I would reccomend them to anyone.
nurses in the recovery room were really loud and when asked them to lower voices she was laughing at me, and then the next day after surgery (3am)I was up walking by myself, the night staff well, they offered no help, that was the only thing that I did not like about this hospital. the rest of the stay past the second day was great the nurses were nice and helpful in every way.
