Good Samaritan Hospital

"My overall experience with the hospital and staff was exceptionally good. I just have one complaint. The first night after my surgery, I had this nurse and cna that were awful. 1:30am and the cna comes in to check my vitals , etc... she was really moody and didn't smile, I was trying to be upbeat and jokingly saying well, ( I only slept inbetween their every two hour visits.... I told her; I guess I have to wake up for this little bit of excitement, and she didn't even try to interact with me at all. I felt like I was a piece of meat and I could feel her sour attitude to my core. Then about an hour later I buzzed for the nurse, (a male) who came into the room like I was interrupting something more important than me, and asked what did you need? I a=told him I was in pain and that I needed some help adjusting myself in the bed. He was quick to say to me, well, there's not much I can do about the pain right now, but, I can help you move. He and the CNA moved me rather roughly and I thanked them and told them I'm sorry to have bothered and that if I could have moved myself, I would have, and they just hurried out of the room, no further comment. I awoke the next morning feeling like crap about how I was treated. I even told my doctor about it, it upset me so much. I was in tears that morning.I hope they don't get to do that to anyone else ever again. It was so upsetting! Other than those two, everyone else was very nice and very helpful. I wanted to post an excellent rating, but, I just couldn't."

Marc Zare

"Ah, first impressions! Dr. Zare' came across as sincerely wanting to help "me". He made me feel so comfortable. The office staff were very pleasant too. Can't find any cons about the good doc. Dr. Zare' personally called me for an initial phone contact, which impressed me beyond reason. I expected some office staff person to do that. Surprise, the good docs are still out there! I've only had initial contact...one office visit so far and that was a very good experience. This is my personal impression of them so far. 2/23/10 At my most recent visit, Dr. Zare' gave me all necessary information for my surgery, pre-op items/procedures and I'm ready. He was very thorough with his approach to me about the whole surgery. We went over everything we needed to and more. He is such a good man, ah, doctor! I'm feeling very confident in my choice for him to do my surgery. March 17th is my day! 3/8/10"
