Community Hospital Monterey Peninsula (COE) Hospital


I LOVE CHOMP! I've had 4 surgeries there now, the latest being my gastric sleeve on 26 Jul 13. The nurses and LVNs are caring and helpful and sensitive to your needs. Someone always answers a press of your call button within a few seconds, and someone is there within 5 min if it's not an emergency. I never was made to feel I was irritating them, they were very supportive and helpful. My day nurse, Cherie, had a husband who had had the same surgery and she gave me tons of pointers. One night nurse, Jodi, gave me a huge tip to do deep breathing to clear out my lungs, which really helped and got rid of my slight fever. I felt completely safe and cared for, and always have there!

My only complaint was that there was construction taking place directly outside my window, so from 7:00 a.m. onward, my room was anything but peaceful and quiet. However, this is a temporary situation, and despite this factor, I would still choose to go to CHOMP again if necessary. It is at the top of my list and I recommend it to anyone, anytime, for any reason.
