"This Hospital was so HORRIBLE, The 1st night not one nurse came by. I was sliding off the bed, and not one nurse came in. Also when the nurse came before the night, they (2) got me up to walk and I had gotten my period by the time walked 15 to 20 steps I was dripping heavy I was also extremly dizzy and ready to fall. What did they do told me to hold on to the wall while they went to get some cloth to clean the floor. I thought I was going to faint. they took their sweet time wiping the floor before they got me back in bed.They never washed me until the 3rd day that I was able to shower- remember I had my period. ( I live out of town and my family stayed with they girls)I have severe nassuas from the pain killer and kept asking them for some medications not one responce until I called the Doctors service (it was a weekend) and had them call for some meds. I was told by the doctor that meds were ordered on admitence because this is something usual with this procidure. This is a verry old hospital the air conding system is really BAD they would bring you fans,yes fans in the 21st century.
One the second night I was very lucky I had a caring nurse (wish I had her on the 1st night)The overall rating of this hospital was by far the worst."
"WHEN I FIRST MET DR BENITEZ, IT WAS DURING AN INFORMATION SESSION (WHICH IS REQUIRED BY US BARIATRIC) HE HIMSELF HAD JUST DONE THE SURGERY, WAS FEELING GREAT TOLD US ABOUT HIS OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. VERY DOWN TO EARTH MAKES YOU FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE.
HE PTACTICE WITH 4 OTHER DOCTORS- (MICHAEL PEREZ,DOUGLAS KRAHN,DAVID DIAZ,ROBERT MAREMA), THE STAFF IS ABSOLUTLY WONDERFULL.
THEY HAVE A PROGRAM LIKE NO OTHER I HAVE RESEARCH THIS PROCEDURE FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND THEIR PROGRAM IS LIKE NO OTHER.
SUPPORT GROUP, WELLNESS, NUTRITION, PSYCHOLOGY, SPIRITUAL,
WORKSHOPS THE WORKS THEY DO THE SURGERY AND HELP YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
THEY WORK WITH HOLLY CROSS-HOSPITAL IN FT.LAUDERDALE, FL. THE HAVE DEDICATED ALL THE SPECIAL NEEDS FOR BARIATRIC PATIENTS.
I TRUST ALL THE DOCTORS AND THEIR STAFF COMPLETELY, THAT IS VERY IMPORTMANT FOR A FAST AND SUCSESFULL RECOVERY.
