Very pleased. There was one bossy nurse who reminded me of my mean ex-wife. She was an exception to the rule though. I would HIGHLY recommend this hospital. |

The hospital was under construction during my surgery. I was in the nursing home section or next to it. They had birds for the residents to enjoy an they were very noisy at night and early in the morning. The rooms were old and I am glad for all who go there this month and on because the rooms will be state of the art and the birds will not be by them. |

Best one I have ever been a patient in. |
| Comments: |
Everybody was wonderful. Especially Char (patient representative) who was the most helpful in getting my insurance to cover me. I had to jumpt through hoops for a year before they finally said yes. Char was fabulous! I had a great experience as a patient. They gave me stuff before the procedure which actually kept me from being nauseated. I only had a little left shoulder pain,and they took really good care of me. |

This is an amazing place for a "rural" area. We are very blessed to have MIMIS (Minnesota Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery) located right there with their bariatric program. This is a wonderful, small hospital with a very qualified and caring staff. |
| Comments: |
I was so impressed with every aspect of their program and would recommend it to anyone. I know of people in this area that have gone to the Minneapolis area (160 miles away) to have bariatric surgery and I feel the program and hospital in Crosby is more than qualified and has a wonderful reputation. |
