I enjoyed my stay as much as I could, but there were a few nurses that I didn't feel comfortable with. I didn't feel that they really cared very much, but that was one in particular. Other than that, the general stay was overall pretty nice. |

| I researched gastric bypass & infection rates through my insurance company files online. Bothwell rated much (much) higher than my home state hospitals did. |
| Competitors: |
They are much more prepaired for overweight patients. I never saw so much handwashing by a hospital staff- This observation includes National Institutes of Health (I've been going there for 8 years)! How wonderful!!! |
| Comments: |
I had a very excellent experience while admitted for my surgery. I was in-house 3 days & never had a problem. If I complain about anything, it would be small bathrooms. The beds were very comfy & can even be made longer for us taller patients! |

| Comments: |
The staff was nice and personable however the accomadations were horrible rooms too small and they didn't have any accomadations for family members to stay there with their loved ones. The Hospital itself is old and it shows they need to upgrade their facility especially to accomandate the obese if they want to continue doing baratric surgeries. |

| This is the Hospital Of Exellence that my Dr. works at. THE ONLY REASON I would pick this particular hospital. |
| Competitors: |
On the one thing a Woman would NEED - VERY POOR compared to other hospitals in this region. To my chagrin, I found the restrooms extremely TINY. To sit upon the stool, forward enough to urinate into the measurement cap, I Literally had to HUG the sink becuase it is so close to the stool. I found this VERY uncomfortble, unsanitary, and almost impossible to do. I am not a severely obsese person (265) but I can feel for anyone larger than me trying to do this deed for the nurses. The the TP was behind me so the only way I could reach it was by standing up and tring to do the paperwork after the fact. I was embarrassed that I couldn't do this simple task without making a mess of the bathroom floor. |
| Comments: |
With the exception of the "Bathroom situation" I stumbled through - I found almost all the other things appropriate. |

| I needed a Bariatric Surgical Center of Excelence as required by Medicare. This is the closest one to me and Dr. Hornbostel works from there. |
| Competitors: |
I don't think any hospital I've been to recently gives you a quality of care that matches the price they charge you. Bothwell Regional was no different. I guess I feel like if I'm paying my surgeon $6000/hr and the hospital $20,000 for a 3 day stay then I deserve the best. |
| Comments: |
The Surgical staff was excelent. I was given good care and they were actually concerned for me. Once I was on my floor though that changed. It seems the staff is more interested in punching the time clock than treating patients. I rarely asked for anything since my wife was there to help me. When I did ask it took a long time to get help. The nurses don't like leaving the station. On the evening of my surgery my I V came out. I was on a moriphine pump for pain and the I.V. was my only relief. It took over an hour to get someone to restart my I.V. I had trouble getting them to give me meds that I must have. They are pysichiatric meds so they just didn't consider them important. I had to forcefully explain more than once because they don't seem to write things down or communicate between shifts. My doctor saw me and ordered a morphine injection before I left to go home. I had a 2 1/2 hour drive home and he wanted me to be as comfortable as possible. No one wrote it down. I was refused the shot when I asked for it. All I had to come home with was oral meds I picked up at Walgreens. It was not entirely helpful. I can't say enough about the surgical staff. They were excelent. It was the rest of my stay that was so bad. I don't like to give anyone this kind of review. It's just my surgery went very well. I didn't need or ask for much. My wife and I took care of most things. But someone else may not have an easy of time. They might require much more care. I'm just not convinced they will get it. UPDATE: In fairness all of the complaints I have above stem from poor communication of the nursing staff. My Dr. has told me that when he left my room abruptly one morning he did so to address that very issue. I guess he didn't like the lack of detail and incompleteness of my chart. This problem has been sternly addressed and I've been assured the issue is solved. Since I can't change my experience I can't change what I originally wrote. So I'm giving this update instead. Also in fairness this hospital was new at being a Bariatric Center of Excellence so there may have been bugs in the system.

| I selected this hospital and surgeon because it was the only one in the area who accepted medicaid/medicare. I also researched the comments from other patients who had been there. |

Excellent place to be, well informed and trained staff, who show that you are more than a "RNY patient", you have a name and you are a person. |

| My surgeon performs surgeries at this hospital. |
| Competitors: |
The hospital is better than any others I have stayed at. |
| Comments: |
Everything about the hospital was excellent. The only problem I had was a noisy neighbor, and my room was right by the nurses station, so I didn't get as much sleep as I would like to have had. |

| This is the hospital my surgeon practices at. |

I would have preferred going to Kansas City, but with my insurance, it wasn't an option. |
| Comments: |
I felt the surgery was great, the nurses were not. I knew going in that I was a "lightweight", but at every turn, I received comments from the nursing staff about how I didn't need this surgery and that I was the smallest patient ever bypassed at this facility. They were slow to respond to calls and even slower to respond to needs...the night nurses the first night were great, I can't remember all their names, but Casey sticks out. I really appreciated her. Overall, not surprised about the care, but definitely not impressed! |

| I selected the best surgeon and this happened to be the hospital he used. Dr. Hornbostel is a wonderful doc. |
| Competitors: |
I rated it #1 in the 8-9 sugery centers I have used with my family-over the years. |
| Comments: |
Bothwell Medical is very clean and has the most caring people I have ever met. Even the anetheasiologist was terrific and tried to anticipate any special needs I would have. I highly reccomend this facility, it is a special place. |
