Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin Hospital

I was very pleased with the whole procedure. From check-in to discharge. If there was a negative, in was that the nursing staff was efficient but I thought not as friendly as I expected.

After surgery you go to the general surgery area so the nurses have to deal with different types of patients.

There was a chalkboard in the room and every shift change, the nurses, assistants and cleaners would come in and introduce themselves and write their names on the board so I could remember their names.
Even the food service people did the same. They ALL would ask how I was feeling, did I need anything....I was impressed that even the food staff and cleaners did the same.

I really felt pampered and cared about.

the only reason I rated the restfully quiet question a good was because no matter what hospital you're at, you usually don't sleep good, too many people in and out. It was an excellent experience

The hospital was very efficient, they knew exactly what they were doing. The care was great, the nursing staff very caring and attentive (the night nurse a little less so, but the aide on that shift more than made up for it). The only "problem" I had, which I hesitiate to even call a problem, was that there wasn't a room ready for me, so I was in recovery for a little extra time. However, I was comfortable, my pain was kept controlled, and the nurse taking care of me was wonderful and kept me informed, as well as keeping my family informed and eventually just brought them into recovery so they could see me.

This is such a great teaching hospital and the staff is wonderful, I am glad to be part of that family.

There was only one nurse (the day nurse) that I could have done without and had replaced. I felt she was very disorganized and couldn't handle her job well. Always she was late with my pain meds and took forever to answer my calls. She is why I gave my overall rating GOOD and not Excellent.

Everyone I dealt with at Froedert, from the information people to the nurses, treated me with respect and kindness. The facilities are wonderful and my whole experience there was positive.

Dr Wallace is a wonderful man who truely cares for his patients. I have only good things to say about the staff of Drs and nurses on the 3rd floor.

I would recommend Froedert Hospital and its Bariatric program to anyone. The surgeons and nurses were wonderful

hospital part was great. staff was very friendly. the only thing i have to complain about is the family center. they were very rude to my family that were waiting for me to get out of surgery. they did not explain things to them when they came down, they weren't very friendly to then. but over all everthing else about the hospital was excellent
