How Selected: It is the hospital my surgeon uses.
Competitors: I didn't feel like "just a number" at this hospital! Everyone called me by my first name and made sure that my every need was taken care of.
Comments: The hospital itself is small, which isn't a bad thing in my eyes. It had a very small town feel to it. The night time nursing staff was fantastic!!!!!! I can't say enough nice things about them!!!! They were very kind, helped me in any way they could. Took time to talk to me about my surgery. I had the best hospital stay I've ever had. There was a little trouble with my bed and my remote/call button, but it was quickly fixed!
