| This is one of two hospitals that my surgeon uses and his coordinator used it for her surgery so...if it was good enough for her it was good enough for me. |

Well I live in Arkansas and have never been in the hospital in Shreveport but it was above and beyond any hospital I have been in here in Arkansas including Little Rock...where I have been in 2. |
| Comments: |
It is small and older but the staff from doctors, nurses, administrative down to kitchen staff were absolutely wonderful. It is clean, very clean which was important to me. It just couldn't have been a better experience for me. |

| Since my insurance didn't cover my surgery my doctor chose this hospital for me. It was less expensive than Christus Schumpert. |
| Competitors: |
Excellent. The staff seemed like one big happy family. Everyone was very nice and helpful. |
| Comments: |
I had to reschedule my scope before surgery because I was sick. When I called to reschedule they told me what time and what day to be at the hospital. When I arrived they had no recorded of the reschedule, but everyone was very appoligetic and accommadating. Even my surgeon said he was sorry, he had nothing to do with it. I was taken to a room within about 10 minutes of arriving (not after realizing the mistake, but after walking into the hospital!). My husband is a physician on staff at a hospital in our hometown, (there are NO barriatric surgeons in our area), I had a c-sections and a hysterectomy at the hospital he is on staff at and was not given the care I received at Doctors. |

I would call for pain meds and would still be waiting 1 hr. later. Talked to 2 doctors about the lack of care and wanting to transfer to another hospital. Dr. Merriman apparently talked to the staff because within a 24 hr. period things were a complete turn around. I will never use Doctor's Hospital in Shreveport, LA again! |

I loved most of the staff there, especially Shalonda, who is one of the most caring people I've ever met! She is so wonderful, that prior patients will tell you..."I hope you get Shalonda...she's wonderful!" The surgical team was great, all very caring and very compassionate. They have a wonderful "hand-holder" there by the name of Linda...she is an angel! I couldn't have made a better choice than this hospital for my surgery. |
