Overall Value: Average Oversized Equipped: Good Oversized Sensitive: Good
Multi Security: Good Privacy: Poor Pain Medication: Excellent
Quiet: Poor Visiting: Poor Staff Responsive: Average
Parking: Excellent
How Selected: It was one of two that my surgeon practiced out of and I was able to get an earlier date by going here.
Competitors: THey are about the same.
Comments: The nursing staff was excellent, and they were very intuned to the needs of obese people. the only down side was that they have you stay in the recovery room so they can provide more 1:1 care but you havevery little privacy, it can be noisy at times, and your visitors are limited to 1 every hour for only 10 minutes.
