How Selected: Hospital that doctor uses.
Competitors: Good comparison. Nurses and techs were great. Very friendly.
Comments: Somebody dropped the ball in my pain medication. I was in pain initially when I woke up in recovery, and did not get it under control until I was in my room. After that, the pain was well-controlled. Nurses were very friendly. Was on bariatric floor with other WLS patients; bariatric bed was great.

Competitors: Its a nice hospital, I was actually born there.
Comments: The hospital was fine..I cant say all of the nurses were so great. I had my husband with me, so I guess they didnt think I needed them as much. I had to call for every little thing.
