Good Samaritan Hospital

Everything was fine as far as hospital stays go. I do prefer private rooms. When I first came out of surgery they had me in a semi private room, and I wasn't a very happy camper. 3 hours later I was in a private room, and things were 100% better.

The nursing staff in the Rehabilitation units were great. They were responsive and very supportive. The physical therapy department was great as well. It was a lot of hard work but it paid off. I am walking, talking, and breathing. I have progressed to the point where I only have to conquer going up stairs like I used to.11/27/05 Now post op for two years I am still not back to normal. I can go up stairs but not easily as I used to. It's been a tough road but I'm getting there slowly.

The staff was all very friendly and helpful.

My own personal physician and his direct staff were wonderful, however the other physician such as the radiologist was a different story. I was verbally insulted by the radiologist this made my stay in the hospital horrible.

I found Good Sam to be very accomodating to the bariatric patient. Larger sized chairs were available in waiting rooms, and I was given hospital gowns during my stay that were HUGE on me. A nice touch was the "bariatric bed" that I was put into after surgery. Made getting out of bed post-op so much easier!! Now the only downside...parking was horrible according to my visitors. However, the hospital is in the midst of a MAJOR building project (adding 2 new towers), so the parking nightmare is only temporary.

I was very pleased with my care. The nursing staff was great and very attentive. Also staff was familiar with issues of weight loss surgery

The nursing staff was great! I never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for anything. One of the nurses wasn't aware of the diluted juice thing-but she thanked me for letting her know. They have special "bariatric" beds, which are much easier for us to use than typical hospital beds. All around a really good hospital stay.

the staff on the floor was great. they all made it easy for me. i appreciate all of them. only blemish was during checkout waiting for transportation in a wheel chair.

Good Sam. was a terrific experience for me. I had a private room which I requested some time ahead and they allowed my husband to spend the entire week with me in my room.

very nice hospital. nurses were very caring and considerate.
