| Through your website.It may seem that I am giving this hospital a false sense of character that possibly something was not to par... But this hospital was so good to me when I had my surgery I chose to have my baby there and this particular hospital is almost 40 minutes from my home. |
| Competitors: |
I will say that they are very caring to you as a person and a patient. I say person because anyone can do a job but it takes a heart to be a person. |
| Comments: |
I still go to this hospital whenever I need something done. Tests, bloodwork etc... I do not think that will ever change considering it is hard to find half caring medical care. When you actually find wonderful medical care you don't walk away from that. |

| Gesinger is a very reputable hospital |
| Competitors: |
There is NO comparisson! Geisinger was outstanding in EVERY SINGLE WAY! to compare Geisinger to the Local Hospitals is a insult.After being in Geisinger Wyoming Valley I will never go to another hospital again! |
| Comments: |
I went through the program letter sent to insurance co.(geisinger ins.) and I was approved in 1 day.They do not play office politics with there patients!
The staff EVERY single one,pleasant do anything for you! I said to the nurse it is a little warm in here,10 min.later maintance in to adjust the air!They care! all Bariatric Patients are givin a private room,with oversized everything! I was able to make and take calls 24hrs a day I could have had somebody stay with me (family)24 hrs a day.
The hospital is VERY clean and smells fresh not that "hospital smell".
I would recomend anyone that is having this surgery to come to Gesinger! they will not regret one minute of it! Dr.Gruneiro is an absolutly outstanding Bariatric surgeon! |

| They perform the Lap Band procedure, which was my first choice. |

Excellent program before you ever meet with the surgeon. |
| Comments: |
I never planned on a gastric bypass, I was too afraid of dying. The program and employees are fantastic. About four months into the program I decided to have the bypass and not the band. It was a difficult choice but I am confident and comfortable with the team at Geisinger.
Post-Op comment: Everyone was so nice but I have to say they are understaffed in my opinion. There were 6 nurses to approx. 28 patients |

| Dr. Alex Gruneiro was recommended highly for laparoscopic surgery and I could get an earlier surgery date here. |
| Competitors: |
I had lots and lots of tests and consults with specialists before my surgery. Everyone I came into contact with was wonderful and friendly. I was always premedicated where necessary, and had no discomfort ever. |
| Comments: |
While WVMC is two hours from my home, it was well worth the drive. I am completely satisfied with my care. |

I feel this is the best hospital in my area and it's the only one I go to for all of my care. |
| Comments: |
Geisinger has done so many things to teach the staff at Geisinger Wyoming Valley in how to render care to a bariatric patient. The nurses and staff were great and my surgeon was fabulous. It was a very clean hospital and I would highly recommend. |
