Anything is better than Memorial. You'd get better care from a veterinarian. |

I found the staff to be very kind and understanding for the most part. |

The staff on 2B was great the morning of surgery along with the preop area the OR and recovery. The staff on 5A was AWESOME they helped me when I called great with pain meds and helping me walk.

I think this Hospital was great. Aside from some of the nurses not being sympathetic and going over bumps while going fast it was great. I had a newer doctor (Dr. Lo) but he was great, went into great detail with everything. |

My hospital stay was great, the staff was slow in responding but they were full on my ward. They did allow my husband to stay and take care of me. |

| I was on Tri-care and it was the hospital I was assigned to, and the hospital where my primary care provider was located. |
| Competitors: |
It is a good hospital, they have operated many times on my children, including a spinal surgery. |
| Comments: |
I had a pretty good experience. THe nurses in ICU were fantastic I never once had to ask for anything. I did notice though that when I was moved to the general surgery floor that the nurses were less attentive. They were very busy which I can understand. But I alwasy had to page them to walk or use the restroom, I also noticed that the nurses that worked the Night shift were a lot nicer than the day time nurses. Their were a couple awesome nurses that worked during the day:) So it wasnt all bad:) I was dissapointed though that they did not have accomodations for Overweight patients.. No large wheelchairs, no large gowns, and no large arm cuffs to take blood pressure.. I am sure they had them somewhere in the hospital but none were offered to me during my stay... I had to use 2 gowns when I went to walk..I looked like a super hero:) All in all ithere were good adn bad things as there is with everything:) My Doctor was aweosme though so that has to count for something:) |
