From the front desk person to the nurses...everyone was wonderful and made my stay there as comfortable as it possible could be. I would recommend this hospital to anyone in need of medical care...regardless of what it is.

Even though I didn't have the surgry on 7/29/08, but the hospital & my doctor felt my life & safety was more important than continuing. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone who is in need of hospitalization. From check in to check out, I was treated with respect...even by the nurse that had did not have a good bedside manner. I will be anxiously awaiting when I can update this review after I have been rescheduled for my lapband surgery.

I had the same issues with the night shift as Shelly W (see her review) The nurse that was training the new (cute) nurse was on some sort of power trip. I tried to keep my cool but eventually lost it which kept her from coming back for the most part. The next nurse and I had language issues but I give her credit for trying (and ultimately succeeding) in making me comfortable.

Overall I think St. Francis is a fine institution and much of their staff is great. My concerns were with the swing shift and night shift staff. My swing shift nurse was pushy and not helping me deal with the severe pain I was having getting in and out of bed. She was busy showing a trainee around. My night shift nurse just left me to walk alone even though I was having a lot of pain. I was not schooled in the right way to do the breathing exercises. Hopefully, I won't get pneumonia.

eclin49 for Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Center for Weight Management at St. Francis

I can not possibley say enough good things about my experience at St Francis. The program there is first rate. All aspects of my care were handled wonderfully. The organized staff has its act together but they do not lack in the personal touch. They went out of their way to make sure I was confortable and in addition to that my husband spent the night with me and they also made sure he was comfortable too. From pre op testing and education to my actual surgery, I thought the staff did everything well to prepare me. My husband raved about the cafeteria food.

They seem state of the art, and are familiar with bariatric patients...so I felt confident.
