St. Vincent Charity Hospital Hospital

This hospital stay for me was the single best I've ever had. They are staffed with the nicest and most cordial medical staff I have ever encountered. I could think of no other hospital that could possibly rival the professionalism and personal level of care that I got during my stay.

Dr.Scheiber is winderful,and his staff really fills the needs of the bariatirc patients.

Everything was wonderful except for midnights making popcorn that could be smelled on the whole floor. And discharge ~ Had to wait over an hour and a half for the paper work so we could leave. ALL the nurses were at lunch or gone from the desk everytime my sister checked. She questioned them (She is a nursing supervisor at a major hospital in Pittsburg) and the nurse got REAL testy with her and said they were busy. There was only 3 people on the floor. My sister was VERY upset with the nurses treatment of her. The Dr. released me at 11:00 and we did NOT leave until 2:30. Yes I did have to see another Dr. first about my meds but they
knew I was leaving and the other Dr came in around noon.

I must say that I didn't feel the staff was as good as I had been told they were....All staff members were very nice, but I had to ask for everything that I needed, and should have been anticipated by the staff...

All in all my opinion of the hospital was good, but I was very glad to go home. There's no place like home!!!!!

I thought the staff was wonderfule and they made my stay comfortable!

The nursing staff was wonderful at St. Vincent's in Cleveland on 5b the bariatric ward. My care was superb and found everyone to be very supportive, friendly and helpful. The excellent care started in the anestisia room and followed me right into the operating theatre and on to the bariatric floor. No complaints, other than they need to loose the green jello that is served for meal and get a cherry or raspberry.
I actually liked the hospital so much, when I recover since I am a STATE TESTED NURSING ASSISTANT/RESTORATIVE AIDE I plan to apply for a job on the bariatric floor and assist other in their journey.

Had an experience with power outages in the area. Hospital was on generator power for many hours beginning at night. There were no room lights. Had to hold flashlight while the nurse gave me a pain shot. But other than being an inconvenience, it did not impede the care I received.

See above. I would recommend this hospital to anyone who appreciates the value of personalized care.

The obesity patients have a wing just for them which makes it easy to walk around and talk to other like patients.
