Sioux Valley Hospital Hospital
I had an excellent experience. There were only two oops. I had surgery at seven a.m. I was very nervous so Dr. Christopherson (anesthesiologist I had for my C-section!) gave me a sedative. Then I was waking up in recovery. I spend four hours there as a bed was not available on the surgical floor yet. I was transferred to my room at noon. I shocked them when I asked if I could WALK to my bed. I had been laying on a gurney for so long, my back was killing me. They were very up on my pain management and never let me let it get out of control. Another downer was they were so busy on the surgical floor. I wouldn't see my new shift nurse until almost and hour and half into the shift. My second day I asked for a shower at seven thirty, I was not able to have one until noon because they were so busy. But overall, the staff was excellent! They treated me with utmost respect and gave me tremendous encouragement. I would recommend Sioux Valley Hospital and USD Medical Center to anyone having this procedure.
