Excellent, clinically superior hospital. The only downside is the overhead page system which is going off day and night. Mkes getting rest a bit challenging. |

| I had 2 choices. It just seemed that my surgeon, although available at either one, was more closely attached to this one. |

| Comments: |
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hospital. They have made many strides to be a "rich" hospital center. |

| I chose this hospital because it is well known for bariatrics and my doctor is very well known there and is the attending surgeon at this hospital. |
| Comments: |
I absolutely loved this hospital, it was my first experience here and I would go back over and over. There was not one nurse that was not there for me no matter what. The nurses aides were also wonderful. Everyone at the hospital was so caring and helpful and made my stay that much more easy. |

The nursing staff was wonderful and very attentive. I never waited very long when I called upon them for assistance or pain medications. One of the nurses aids even saved some of my food in the frig for me to have later if I wanted. I thought that was nice. She didn't have to do that. My hospital stay was very relaxing esp because I had the room all to myself. I can't compare it to any other hospital stay since this was my first experience since birth. But I would recommend them highly. |

The nurses were abosolutely amazing. They cared about me and took care of my needs. They were organized and friendly. I felt that each and every one of them cared about me. I actually hugged and kissed a lot of them goodbye! It was a great experience. I would definatly recommend this hospital for anyone. |

They gave me and other gastric bypass patients private rooms. The nurses came in immediately when buzzed. They washed you & even offered to do your hair. The place was very clean. It was a very positive experience. |
