Overall Value: Average Oversized Equipped: Good Oversized Sensitive: Good
Multi Security: Average Privacy: Excellent Pain Medication: Excellent
Quiet: Average Visiting: Excellent Staff Responsive: Average
Parking: Average
How Selected: It was one off 2 choices for Dr. Peters. I went to his website and based my choice on patient reviews.
Competitors: Overall the staff was friendly and caring... not "all business" like the big city hospital my wife and sister-in-law had their surgeries at.
Comments: BE CAREFUL: My surgery "failed" because of 2 things which I only found out afterwards: 1- They never weighed me before surgery & didn't have a scale that went that high. This effected my anesthesia. 2- They aspirated me during intubation. Factors 1 & 2 together caused my surgery to "fail", but I still wound up with a huge scar, recovery time, and more depression because it didn't work out.
