The staff was exceptional and I never wanted for anything. They have a special place for bariatric patients including beds, bathrooms, wheel chairs, everything. They were courteous and professional and it was a great hospital experience, better than any I have ever had.
OK....I work at PNH on ward 4F. I stayed in the SDU on the night of my surgery and there were several aspects of the care I received that I was not happy with (IV fluids and PCA pain medication running out, and not being replaced for quite some time). I was not assisted to walk until around 11:30 that night, after originally planning with the nurse that the walking would take place around 10pm. Of course, it was the nurse that relieved her, that ended up walking with me. The morning after my surgery, my care was provided solely by the HM. My nurse stated that he would see me only if the HM ran into something he couldn't handle. I thought that was very unprofessional, especially since I am staff at the hospital. I was transferred to 4F on the afternoon after my surgery, and the care was much, much better. Staff gave me my privacy, and tended to my needs in a timely manner. Thanks so much to LPN Mundy, RN Fisher, RN Santos, RN Snow, LT Allen, HN Jackson, HN Collver, HN Moore, HN Parks, my buddy Lisa Morris, and the rest of the 4F staff...........you guys ROCK!
The hospital itself is wonderful. The floor I was on could use a little bit of TLC, I found some of the corpsman and nurses great, and others who need to get a different job. Bariatric wise, I think that the doctors and the program have done a great job to make the stay the best possible!
Portsmouth Naval Hospital is one of the finest military hospitals in the country. My care was very good, however, there are a few exceptions. My first nurse on 4F was a total ditz. She hooked up my IV, and it wasn't even flowing. When I let her know this she was like "Oh I'll take care of it." Well 3 hours later I'm still without fluids and becoming a little dehydrated. My surgeon came in, and had a little talk with that nurse. Needless to say, I didn't see her again the rest of my stay. Other than that, my care was well attended to.
I would travel the distance any time to have the chance to get the care I have gotten at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. The doctors and the staff are excellent there.
Not bad, but not great. My WLS team was outstanding. But, I did have problems with my pain somewhat and the floor staff could have been better.
Everyone from Dr. Fontana & Dr. Lord, Jan Carlo, Nutrition clinic, Step Down(especiall Nurse Jim) and the entire staff on 4F treat you better than you could really expect.
My doctor and his assistant as well as their liasion was the best -- they had great bedside manners as well as before and after surgery
I, overall had a nice experience here. I am considering Dr. Lord, Dr. Fontana, very few nurses, and my comfort. I have lots of complaints about several nurses, and wish my stay would have been more comfortable.. But overall, I am very pleased with my surgeons and two nurses (one in the ICU, and one in the step down).
