Overall Value: Excellent Oversized Equipped: Excellent Oversized Sensitive: Excellent
Multi Security: Excellent Privacy: Excellent Pain Medication: Excellent
Quiet: Excellent Visiting: Excellent Staff Responsive: Excellent
How Selected: I was admitted under emergency circumstances. my original bariatric surgery had been at Fountain Valley hospital in Orange County
Competitors: This facility is far and away the most impressive of any I have visited. Fortunately, until my bariatric surgery, I never was hospitalized for more than 24 hours/out-patient. I come from a medical family and my mother was a consultant for the State Dept. of Health. I often went on sites reviews with her and also heard more than most would care to know about hospitals. To that end and with that information I can't underscore my good fortune to have arrived at Cedars Sinai for emergency surgery.
Comments: excellent in every way. In the ER Dr. Hardy was incredible, compassionate, attentive, available, and more. The nursing and assisting staff was incredible..As I learned..hospitals are indeed in our lives for nursing care. The nurses and assisting staff/respiratory/phlebotomists/dietary/volunteers/ truly anyone I came into contact with seemed to go above and beyond to provide me and my sister every answer and accommodation needed. My incredible thanks to one and all..phoebe
