Comments: Great surgeons and equipment. Hopsital is dirty and the staff is loud and uncaring. I would never go there again. About 2 weeks post op I wrote a letter of complaint to the director of nurses and the hospital administrator. On May 15 I received a letter of apology and some information that they made efforts to look into my complaints and actions that were taken to rectify them. I applaud their efforts and response, but still don't think I would go there again.
