| Dr. Michael Schweitzer was the doctor that I chose. |
| Competitors: |
My hospital experience was beyond compare to any other that I was envolved with. From the moment that I arrived first rate care and attention was there for me. |
| Comments: |
I am thankful that I contacted admitting office in advance about my desire for a private room. My 'suite' was delightful and even included a sleep-sofa for my husband. The support staff were always available for questions or motivation.
An interesting bi-product from my surgery was difficulty in deep breathing. Dr. Schweitzer ordered a CAT Scan of my lungs to rule out pneumonia. One of his residents noticed an irregularity in the lower edge which happened to be my upper right thigh. This tumor is five pounds and will be removed in a few months. This is the result from a special group of medical experts that I will be forever thankful. Adrienne |

| Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center was the hospital used by my surgeon. |
| Competitors: |
The skill level doesn't even compare to the local hospitals in my immediate area. The level of expertise is ten-fold that of the hospitals on most of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. |
| Comments: |
The staff could not have been nicer. Every single one of them. They are understaffed as is every other hospital and that causes requests to be delayed at times, but not the urgent ones. The hospital was very clean and the staff caring. My only advice is if you can possibly afford one, get a private room. It may not even be an option because this hospital is in such demand that it remains full constantly. Great stay, great experience! |

I wasnt impressed at all. From Tue to Fri I never saw housekeeping. Room was not cleaned. My bed linen wasnt changed nor was I offered assistance to bathe or change gowns! I will say that the nurses were very responsive to my needs directly relating to the surgery..pain, drain care etc.....and they were great cheerleaders when I walked |

| Comments: |
My only complaint was about another patient down the hall who would constantly call for a nurse. This was vocally, not with the call button. He was annoying to patients and staff alike. The only thing the staff could do was keep his door closed to muffle his sound. |

| Comments: |
Considering that it is Johns Hopkins, and most of the other staff were superb, it was very surprising that the nursing staff are so bad! One in particular, my first after the recovery room, had no idea how to operate my cpap and told me I didn't need it! I had to beg for it several times and then get it going myself... they were very inattentive, even the nice ones, and it was dirty! |

| Comments: |
The hospital staff was friendly, for the most part. I did have two nurses who were less than friendly during my stay.
Rooms were not individual. I had a room mate and also the floor is not strictly for bariatric surgery like I thought.
Besides that though, I thought the hospital was sufficient in all my needs. |

I couldn't have asked for a better hospital experience. Absolutely everyone was wonderful and so considerate. They were so comforting that I went into surgery with a calm feeling that I could never have imagined. I also asked for special considerations for my 7 year old son and they accomodated everything that I needed. |

My only complaint that initial pain management was poor. They had the wrong amount dialed on the pump therefore for almost 48 hours had 1/20th the amount of the right amount...OUCH |

| I did not select Bayview - although I did read up on the reviews. Unlike what some posted, I had a totally GREAT experience there. My surgeon, Dr. Schweitzer operates out of bayview, and so I went there for my surgery. |
| Competitors: |
I would say I give it a very high rating - I can't think of anything I was at all dissatisfied with. |

| Comments: |
I was very statisfied with the care I was given at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Each shift there was a nurse and a tech assigned to take care of me. I received excellent care. I had A physical therapist to show me how to best get out of bed and walk steps. An occupational therapist to help bath and get dressed. The nutritionest also came by to see me. A staff a doctors came by daily to check up on me (5 at one time). Good hospital and great care. |

I have been in other hospitals, more than a few and this was the 1st for JH Bayview and by far the best experience I have ever had. I didn't meet one person in my entire time there that I thought,"wow, what a @*!# ", they were all so helpful. |

Havn't been in the hospital in 14 years and that was with the birth of my daughter. Different situation and at that time, my hospital stay was wonderful. |
| Comments: |
I was booked for surgery, they knew I was coming and didn't have a room for me so I was stuck in ICU for two days. It was a week before Christmas, the nurses station was outside my room, they had party after party after party all day and all night, food left and right, Chinese food brought in. They were loud and refused to pull the door shut. The nurses in general were very insensative to my needs. |
