Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center (COE) Hospital


My room was never below 78 degrees even though I constantly complained. I left the hospital severely dehydrated. Some of the food that I was served was NOT on my approved list. No one knew how much of the food I should eat. No one bothered to find out either. I left the hospital under-nourished. I would NOT recommend this hospital for bariatric surgery even though my wife has been a nurse there for over 15 years. My experience was beyond description.

The preop staff are wonderful. My Dr. was wonderful but the post op staff on the 6th floor pod B was the worst ever. The man next to us had visitors all day and were very loud and obnoxious to the other patients. I wondered why the staff let this go on and then later that night I figured it was because the staff is as loud and obnoxious. It was like they had a huge party right there at the nurses station! I decided after three days there that the only thing that happened on a schedule was shift change. The nurses day or night just left us to our own devises and never even checked on us. If we were walking when they were to take vitals you just didn't get your vitals taken.
I had read other bad reviews and decided to make my own mind up after the surgery. The other bad reviews were right on target!
