About this Hospital
The first shift was wonderful, after that it went down hill. DH had to help me and the patient in the other bed. The nurses came in and gave me the wrong meds., didn't remember to continue with the antibiotics, and the IV ran out. They had to be called repeatly.

Comments: When I had my GB done on 02/19/05, I always said if anything happened to me, this is the hospital where I would want to be. In Oct. 2006, I wasn't feeling well and after being at the Fl Hosp. I went to Ocala from Orlando and checked in there.Some nurses were still there, some even remembered me; everyone there is great. They take care of you, they pamper you, they are patient. 6th Floor(Surgery) staff is great!!

Comments: I felt that the hospital looked after all of my needs. Yes, I am partial but as an employee I felt that the people there respected my wishes of keeping this surgery private. My wishes were respected. The nursing care from the patient care technicians, radiology department, the surgery department to the nurses was excellent. I never wanted for pain medications or anything. My father and a friend was with me and were very impressed with the care that I recieved. Even from the individuals that didn' t realize I worked there. My friend stated that you could tell that the feelings were genuine.

Comments: I felt like EVERYone was compassionate about my size and took good care of me. The day time nurses and techs were all friendly but they seemed to be spread thin based on all the patients being awake and needing attention. I was not unhappy just thought they could have used more help. The night time nurses and techs were awesome, they were right there when I needed something and were also very friendly. My family and I were very impressed with the care given, the large private rooms, the beautiful grounds and the wonderful staff. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone who has a choice! From the time I walked in until the time I was wheeled out, I was given a 5 star treatment, as an obese person that is usually not the case. I was very pleased with Munroe Regional!

Comments: Everything was just great. The rooms were wonderful, very nice sized private rooms. The staff was really very good. They were definitely prepared for "oversized" people....the gowns were extra roomy and there were wheelchairs that were very large. The parking was an issue, but that's the case at any hospital, and they are building a parking garage. They do have reserved parking for you the day of surgery which I thought was great. I would go back to Munroe in a heartbeat if I needed to!

Comments: The hospital wasy great!! When we got out of our car in the parking lot we were picked up by the shuttle service right at our car. Stopped at the info desk and was escorted directly to the area I needed to go. Signed in and within a few minutes was taken to the pre-op area. The nurses there were wonderful very swift and knew their "stuff". Within an hour i was taken to the operating room.(from there I dont rem much until later that night) my surg was at 10am I dont rem much until about 9pm when I woke hurting and asked for some pain meds which I was given within minutes. The whole of the stay was wonderful and I thank all the staff for taking such good care of me (even when I had to walk for the first time post-op he he) My overall rating of this hopsital A+

Comments: The evening nurses were responsive to my needs, but the hospital is short handed, I was in a semi private room and I was fortunate enough that my mother was allowed to stay, she handled most everything, my walks, my ice chips, making sure I had my meds ect .. she was not supposed to stay but my family had left her with me unknowingly and she had no way back to Jacksonville, so the night nurses turned their heads, but it worked out in both our favor as they were not having to keep close contact with me and my mother did 99% of what they would have had to do. The day shift was the worse .. can hear them ordering breakfast from my room even after I asked for pain meds and took them almost half an hour and most likely would have taken longer but my mom went and requested that they need to get me the pain meds .. all in all .. take someone if you can .. it will make your stay so much more comfortable.

That was the worst thing that happened, the rest of the stay was ok.

How Selected: Dr. Overcash's office selected the hospital.
Competitors: Day nursing care was awful. I was actually scolded by one of the nurses for using my call button what she considered to be too many times. She said "there are other patients on this floor we must attend to!". However, they kept telling us we must get up and walk but we could not detach the leg compression devices and IV pump cords/nasogastric tube without help! If Dr. Overcash comes in to see you and you are sitting in bed he will have a fit! He wants you up walking. I was just trying to follow orders and the nurses were NOT helpful. The night nurses were much more friendly and nice than the day nurses.
Comments: I could not believe they had a rocking chair in the room that had arms on it so that a morbidly obese person could not sit in it. And Dr. Overcash wants you out of bed and either walking or in that chair, period, or woe the wrath to befall you!
