"Parkview Location:
During my first Run in 08 Dr. Krahn was very much still in the office meeting with patients. He was always very upfront and honest. He is a bit short, but I am not a sensitive person and all my questions are answered by his very supportive staff. The front office is ALWAYS on top of everything. They did not disappoint.
My second time around was for a revision to RNY from LapBand, Dr Krahn was there for a couple of my first few visits, but for the next few months I was helped by his new doctor Channing Chin. This guy is pretty cool. He knows his stuff ans is as upfront as Dr. Krahn.
The office staff is very much still on top of their game and they are led by a wonderful head nurse named Margaret. Although she is nice, she will take no excuses. If you are not on your game she will let you know.
Surgical and Post-Surgical staff are just as wonderful. I was well attended to during my stay at Parkview Hospital."
"The Bariatric Specific staff is VERY VERY good. My surgeons office is also wonderful with post op. I was in the hospital for 1 to 2 additional days after my surgery and they visited me at least 2 - 3 times per day to make sure I was doing what I was supposed to do and what the hospital was supposed to do. When the nursing staff was not doing it's job, they made them do it, which is the ONLY reason that I did not have a complete sh*t fit.
The 3rd floor was where I was sent to recover and this floor is VERY loud. My roommate and I had to make sure that our door was closed the entire time becasue we would not be able to rest if it were not. Pain meds were dispensed promptly only becasue I was able to do it myself.
Food wasn't an issue becasue I was on a clear liquid, but it was very bland. Just soup stock and crystal light (nasty kiwi strawberry), no jello, no nothing. I DID, however get all the ice and water I could drink whenever I wanted it.
The room was very clean and they changed my bedding whenever I went for a walk and when I showered. Overall, the stay was mostly pleasant. I wouldn't be frightened to return. I would just be a bit more diligent with getting what I needed, when I needed it."
