How Selected: This was the hospital the surgeon did the surgeries at and the only one my health plan would cover.
Competitors: I like the small community hospital. The staff was polite and accomadating.
Comments: I found all around the hospital to be nice. However, I didn't find out until my preop appt. that I owed 1500 dollar co pay. The reg. lady said not to worry and wait for a bill. It has been months, I still have not received an actual bill from hospital. I called in Sept and a different lady said I must pay immediately 500 dollars for the next three months or I will be put into collections. I still am unable to pay that large of a bill and I guess I am in collections????? SAD....the second lady would not work with me at all........In fact her comment was, gee "you bill is outragous".

How Selected: I selected Dr's Hospital of Manteca based on two different facts: 1). The surgeon, (Dr. Coirin), and 2). How medically/staff equipped the hospital is for Gastric Bypass patients, I felt both were extremely important in making this procedure more successful.
Competitors: I feel this hospital is comporable to any hospital I've visited over the past several years. One thing I did like, is you are treated in a very pleasant manner as you should be, as well being it isn't a hugh hospital you have more privacy than a larger hospital and the staff is just as qualified.
Comments: During my stay at Dr's hospital of Manteca I felt comfortable taking my walks in the halls regardless of the time of day. I was treated with great respect from all the staff, from the pre-op testing through to the day of discharge. All my needs were met, and all the staff was curtious and respectful of what I was undergoing. I couldn't be more pleased.

How Selected: It was the closest of the two hospitals that my surgeon is contracted at.
Competitors: Being that this hospital is much smaller than some of the more local hospitals I felt it made the staff more personable and I felt less intimidated to walk around the floor in my gown, being that the halls were not busy.
Comments: The nursing staff was very kind and receptive to my needs. There were one or two incidents with the CNA's that I wasn't impressed with, but over all the RN's and mostly everyone else made the experience comfortable.
