St. Luke's Medical Center (COE) Hospital
I am a medical professional and have also had 4 surgeries prior to my gastric bypass. This hospital was, by far, the best I've ever spent time in. I can't say enough good about Dr. Juarez, his PA Rachel, and all the nurses, techs, etc. Every thing I needed was there right away. I just wish I could remember all the nurses' names to thank them personally. Even the food service people who delivered my meals and the housekeeping staff who cleaned my room were so pleasant. I was in a new wing, so that helped, too. Nice and clean!
The hospital itself shows signs of age and economical distress. All of the admin/clerical and lab type functions are operated largely by an older staff of pre or post retirement age employees that supervise young and inexperienced Bryman School students. The admin and lab can actually scare you off from this dilapidated hospital, but the newly remodeled surgical center and WLS/Orthopedic recovery floor (8th) are top notch. It's almost as if the WLS business is a separate business functioning within the old St Luke's. Dr Fang is an awesome surgeon and if you want him, you have to go to St Luke's. So I did & my gastric sleeve surgery went just fine, no complaints.
