I think that this is an excellent hospital. The only complaint I have is during the night I went into the bathroom. A nurse's assistant helped me. When I got out of the bathroom to go back to my bed, she was asleep in the corner of the room on a chair. She must of been very tired.
Only one negative experience. No transport was available to discharge me and I was walked to my car while transport staff were talking in the hallway. I was very weak and found it inexcusable. It is apparently a chronic problem.
I was in recovery for 6 hours due to the fact that they did not have a bed available in the 4700 section. This is the area for bariatric patients. When I was finally taken to my room at 10 pm, it was a room with 4 beds partitioned by a sliding door...2 on each side. I was told it was a better room because the toilet seat is higher. 2 of my roomates on the other side of the wall were sisters who had the bypass surgery together...they were wonderful and the sweetest ladies. My roomate in the bed next to me was not a WLS patient....she had another type of surgery. What I did not realize at 10 at nite was that she moved from the bed I got to the one next to the window (which should have been mine). But they did not change the phone!! (I don't think she "officially" changed..just moved over.) The next day I got about 20 calls that were for HER!! I could not rest. She also had at least 10 visitors, laughing and bringing food (!!!) to her. It was like a party. How rude. I did not really complain because I was there one night, (I had the lap-band but if I had to stay another night, I would have.!) They were loud and obnoxious and one women who was visiting her proceeded to tell me that she knew many friends who had the lap-band and it just did not work.....and this was the morning after I had my lap-band procedure. AND...she then she proceeded to tell me how good her sesame chicken salad was. If I was not so out of it, I would have told her to leave the room..or worse! However, the NURSING STAFF WAS FANTASTIC. They were there when needed and took excellent care of me. I would not hesitate going to this wing of the hospital. My roomate situation was, I am sure, an isolated incident.
My husband got Gastic Bypass done the day after I did and the hospital put my husband and I in the same room the whole hospital stay. It was so great so I didn't have to worry about him and he didn't have to worry about me.
very nice, I was very impressed by the nursing staff, especially considering my surgery was 3 days before Christmas!!! I had been in the hospital once before and the quality of care at St. Barnabas was far superior!
The staff was great. Everyone from the doctors to the house keepers. I live about 2 hrs away and i will travel to this hospital if i ever need to.
The staff was wonderful and friendly but there were 3 people in my room and one was VERY SICK, she was vomiting all night and I could smell it... It was very hard for me not to get sick!! Also, I am a little annoyed that they require the patients to PAY for parking! I can understand visitors but patients? Never experienced that before!
