University of Minnesota Fairveiw (COE) Hospital

The staff was great.. Saw great fireworks from the 7th floor veiw and it was very hamelike their... I would very much recomend...

I was on a floor where mostly gastric bypass patients were. The nursing staff was excellent. I found it really neat that a nurses assistant who had this surgery a couple of years ago was working with the bariatric patients. He was able to give encouragement that I really needed at the time. All of the nursing staff understood my concerns and were excellent at taking what I said and getting me what I needed.

The staff on the floor of this particular unit was rude and not in the least understanding nor compassionate about those of us having this particular surgery. I found myself in tears on more than one occasion, and my sister reported the staff to the surgeon and to the hospital office staff in charge of patient relations.

I thought the nurses were very attentive and willing to help in any way needed

Very kind and efficient people for the most part. Could use some better accomodations for the super-sized folks--like specially adapted chairs and such.

I cannot say enough about the staff, the doctors and nurses there are incedible.

I felt the nursing staff was overwhelmed. I know there is a nursing crisis in the US, but there are times when I was very distressed and I couldn't seem to get a satisfactory response from a nurse. I did have a great view of the Mississippi River from my bed, though...very relaxing.

It was very busy and noisy at all hours. Lots of people traffic. I was lucky in that I had a private room, however, I was not allowed to shut the door. There were staff constanstly outside of my door chatting. The care was very good. It is a teaching hospital so I do understand all the people. I didn't get to see my regular surgeon, however, his team was in and out throught each day and very attentive to my needs. Overall, it was not a bad experience. Just not restful.

The hospital is an older hospital, but I though the rooms were adequate and the care I received from my nurses and most of the nurses aides was very good. I did not see much of the doctors - I didn't need to, but they were there at least once a day.

i am sure it is realy quiet , but my room mate was the room mate from hell.she keep me up every night.
the staf was so great. winston is the coolest aid.
