"My pre-op and registration process was more than wonderful and would have rated this hospital highly but the post care was horrific. Words can not express my fear for anyone staying at this hospital without family members being present. In my heart I feel as though I would have died if I closed my eyes. I was denied medication and use of the bathroom for 9 hours. I was stuck with the same dirty needle and alcohol swab 6 times. My leg pumps to prevent blood clots were either left off constantly or refused to be turned on. I was told that I had a heart attack and I called my sister to come at 3am. She said I collasped on the bed when I saw her because I had just told the nurse that I would not close my eyes until the shift changed and I meant that. This hospital needs to take a serious look at developing a gastric bypass "floor" because I was stuck on the orthepedic floor and they said I was too much trouble for them. So my overall rating of this hospital is if I am going to die let me die at home and not with a stuck up nurse that thinks it is more important to do charts than to administer care to a patient that has undergone major surgery.

"My first impression of him was that he was nice. I have had several people tell me that he is firm with his beliefs on what you should do before and after surgery and how he expects you to follow the regiment to a T. So far my opinion of him has not changed. His office staff seems to be so use to people that they don't take the extra time needed to reassure the individual that their case is equally important. But they are nice and professional. Aftercare is strongly emphasized. On a scale of 1 -10, I will give him an 8 (I am making room for growth; after my sugery goes well, I will increase him to a perfect 10!) Everyone raves about his record and that is very impressive. But bedside manners are also important to me. I want to feel as though it is okay for me to have reservations or have built up fears in my quest for a better life. So to have both like Dr. Facundus is an asset that I will gladly take to the operating room. "
