Presby stands high above the rest in my opinion. I have been treated by 3 other hospitals in the region at various time for various conditions. Presby always stand out. |
| Comments: |
The hospital prides itself on excellence. The nursing staff receives the Magnet Award on a regular basis. As for comfort, they go out of their way to make sure you have it. From the doctors all the way to the nutrition department, everyone wants to know what they can do to help. As I've said other places, Presbyterian Hospital treats you like a guest first and foremost. I won't go anywhere else. (I am not employed by this organization.) |

I can compare to Piedmont in South Carolina, the recovery nurse's where much more friendly. Besides that, both hospitals where excellent. |
| Comments: |
The nurses and staff where so nice and very friendly. All but the recovery nurse who was a little impatient with me. I would highly recommed this hospital, just not the recovery nurse. Its to bad, I didn't catch her name. |

The prepartion for surgery was great, considering I was scared to death. I had never had surgery, so this was all new to me. The staff was great. The staff in the recovery was great too. Also, when I was admitted to my room most of the nurses was great. There were a few that wasn't to helpful, but all in all I enjoyed my stay. I would definetely refer my family and friends to them. |

The only problem I had was at night. It would take a long time for someone to come and help you. When you are hooked up to a lot of equipment and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and need help getting free from it and they take a long time time to come, it can be horrible. |

Hard to compare - only other hospital experience has been with childbirth at the birthing center at Gaston Memorial. It's more like a 5 star hotel than a hospital so that's not a fair comparison. |

The customer service was fabulous. That is one thing they pride themselves on and strive for. I received a phone call after I left the hospitall even asking about customer service. It was a great stay. |

Beautiful. Clean and very concerned with my care. Many follow up calls to check on me and these were people who did not know I worked there. |
| Comments: |
The staff was wonderful. I had a few complications and the nurses were all on it checking in with the Dr and seeing to every need I had. I will say I did not like one of the night staff nurses but I only had her for a very short 8 hours. Thank you all for the care I recieved is the only thing I can say. I have never had a nurse give such great care. I think I saw them more than I wanted too. :) It was a wonderful place to send to recover. |

| Comments: |
My care was wonderful! I will go back to Presbyterian for stage II of my WLS surgery, and recommend it to all of my friends.
The only problem I had was with the people who transported me. The transporation staff was not helpful in transferring me to stretcher from bed and vice versa. I had to go down for a cat scan a few hours after surgery, and having to get out of bed and get onto the stretcher pretty much by myself made the pain excruciating.
Then the student nurse who wheeled me out of the hospital at time of discharge kept running my wheelchair into baseboards and corners. It really hurt to get crashed two into obstacles two or three times on the way out of the hospital! She joked about being "a bad driver" and didn't seem concerned about my welfare at all. She didn't even apologize.
But that was small stuff compared to the fantastic treatment I received from every other single staff member in the hospital. I have had 5 prior major surgeries in other hospitals, and none of their level of care came anywhere close to Presbyterian's. I will always choose Presby for my future hospital needs. |

Cant really say - never been inpatient anywhere here |
| Comments: |
Everybody at the hospital was excellent and super friendly! They were always nice and very encourging pre and post-op. The 2 techs who were assigned to me always made sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable. Ooo and the anesthesia assistant was a hottie!!! |

I think the hospital was good overall. I had one mishap with a broken bed and it took forever to get a new one but the staff was very good about it and they treated me well. |
| Comments: |
There were student nurses on the floor the whole time and they were very attentive but I wish the regular staff had explained to me they were going to be there. |

The nurses were great. They were sensitive and accomodating. I was asked each time before they left the room if they could get me anything. Like any hospital, you don't get any rest as they have to check your vitals and draw blood throughout the night. Other than that, I have no complaints. |

Not the best. |
| Comments: |
The staff was so slow at getting anything done. At one time I had to wait almost an hour for pain med. I called, waited, called, got my button cut off but no one answered me, then called again. I was in tears by then. Every time I called for something, I would have to wait about 15min to get a response. Only about 2 nurses were on the ball the whole time and only one or two tech. that really helped me when needed it. |
