I had a very pleasant stay while here. The nursing staff was skilled, gentle, and very caring, the hospital room was very comfortable, and they treated my family very well. I'd choose this hospital again without hesitation. |

Room was very spacious and room for family to visit, keep families well informed of progress via computer screen in OR Waiting Room, care was good and facility clean and aesthetically pleasing |
| Comments: |
Pre-op staff was fabulous! I don't remember the OR or post-op staff but if they are like the pre-op, I highly recommend them. Put me right to ease, made the jitters go away! Dr. Fingler (anesthesia) was detailed and compassionate, as was the CRNA who put me to sleep. |

At our local hospital I never felt comfortable. Thier beds and gowns for the most part were never comfortable if even covering. |

| I had a small procedure done by another doctor in my network at this hospital, and my experience was so great, the atmosphere wonderful and the staff incredibly accomodating and friendly, that I just knew this hospital was the best of the best. I won't go anywhere else. |
| Competitors: |
In my honest opinion, other hospitals in the area pale in comparison to Palmetto Health Baptist. I am all to familiar with Lexington Medical Center and I have seen first hand how the nurses/staff treat overweight individuals, and you couldn't pay me to have anything done there. |
| Comments: |
Just Fantastic. Incredibly accomodating, friendly, helpful and put you at ease. The rooms are just top of the line and the nurses I had the pleasure of meeting and having take care of me were nothing short of impeccable. |

I feel it is as good if not better than other local hospitals. I did not find my stay there unpleasant. |

The rooms are very nice. For the most part the staff was kind and helpful. |

Overall I was very pleased with the hospital the staff and the room. They even let my 14 yr old daughter stay with my husband for the duration of my stay!! That to me is a plus |

| It was the hospital that my surgeon chose to operate at. |
| Competitors: |
It was great as far as accomodations...beautiful rooms. However, I have seen better nursing staffs. I am not talking about being slow, I am talking about the doctor sayint the cathater can come out on Friday and the nurse just refuses to do it. She said that if we took it out and I couldn't go, they would just have to put it back. She also said it was not on my chart. The next day, the nurse on duty removed my cathater and stated that it was ordered on my chart to be removed the day before. |
| Comments: |
I have my pain well controlled, but I think more could have been done to make my stay more comfortable. |
