Fort Sanders Parkwest Hospital

"They seem understaffed. To start they were not very responsive to my needs (I would go hours before I would see staff) and at time even slightly dangerous (no one checked my vital signs once I hit the floor for over an hour, maybe even closer to 2 hours) or staff giving out incorrect information to the nurses (I came very close to calling my doctor to see if he could get them to help me when I thought I was having a serious problem and I couldn't get anyone to help me, come to find out the staff memebr who told my nurse that I needed her NOW told here the wrong room) But like every hospital they have the exception staff as well as the not so good. Their exceptional ones make to hospital shine overall. "

Stephen G. Boyce

"Dr Boyce is fantastic IMO. What was your first impression of him/her? Very kind, caring and nice. How did your impression change over time? Only gotten better, I have seen how skilled he is first hand now and respect him even more. How would you describe his/her office staff? Top notch, always helpful. Available to us anytime. What did you like least about him/her? Really can't think of a thing... What should future patients know about him/her? He is a very skilled surgeon who wants things done one way, the right way. And if your not willing to do what's right (this even includes his staff) well you are in for problems. How much does he/she emphasize aftercare? It is a necessity and just as important as the surgery itself. Does he/she have a structured aftercare program? Yes How did he/she address the risks of surgery? Played no games with me, told me the facts even the smaller/lesser complications. Now I will admit his seminar painted a slightly brighter picture when it came to risks/complications. One-on-one he held nothing back. How would you rate him/her overall? 10+ Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or both great? Maybe by only a tiny margin, his surgical competence but his bedside manner is very good. I really could se he cared and wanted the very best for me. "
