Maryview Medical Center Hospital
From day one of plannning for this surgery, my only hold-back was that it would be done at Maryview. My mother was in Maryview several years ago and I did not like the hospital at all and could not wait to get her back on the Newport News side of the water. So upon several phone calls from the hospital regarding getting me registered and making sure everything was still a "go", I thought that this place had really changed. From the moment they called me on the morning of my surgery until the time I was rolled out to our car I have never felt such a instant appreciation for such a wonderful, caring group of individuals. From the admitting clerk, to the pre-op staff, to the post-op staff; everyone seemed like they were genuinely interested in what you were feeling. I'm very thankful that this is the hospital my Doc uses because I have two daughters that will be having the same surgery soon and I will not worry about the care that they will receive.
The nurses know what they are doing and are very helpful to you. When I came out of recovery I was in a rome to myself on the 2nd floor, the next day I was moved to the 5th floor with a room mate. I would have loved to stay by myself because I had the room mate from hell. I could get no sleep for her allways call for the nurse to help her to the bathroom. They should ask people if they want a room to themself.
