| My primary doctor recommended my surgeon and this is the hospital he is affilated with. |
| Competitors: |
Overall I feel they are good. I would like to see them with a department just for weight loss patients. And for the decor to be more modern. |
| Comments: |
I believe they have the technology that is needed to perform the job. |

| It's the hospital my surgeon's affiliated with, and is part of the Penn Health system, therefor it's of the same standard as Uni. of Penn., but seems to be smaller and more accesible. |
| Competitors: |
I've never stayed overnight in a hospital before, so I have no real comparison. Just from observation while visiting though, my room was a bit claustrophobic compared to others i've seen. |
| Comments: |
Everyone was polite and took very good care of me. The nurses who handled what makes me the most nervous- needles, like drawing blood right before surgery, giving the heparin shots, and starting my IV- were AMAZING. The anasthesiologist's assitant (i forget his real title) who started my IV was exceptional- very kind and FAST. The nurses who took care of me postop were also great, the daytime one being a RNY post-op herself. One thing that annoyed me was how much they soaked my family for parking in their lot when they came to visit me. Most hospitals only charge a few bucks, and that's for valet service. Another problem was coordination with the pulminary department- I was told they'd come up to give me albuterol every 4 hours, and they'd sometimes come/usually didn't/ took forever when I requested them since they hadn't been showing up. Luckily my asthma isn't severe, but I worry about someone who's is. |
