Highland Medical Center Hospital

I just didn't feel comfortable. Some staff members worked their butts off and some just tryed to slide by.

The staff was wonderful and very sensitive to my needs before and after surgery.

The hospital personnel were very attentive to all needs.

I never had the surgery, but i do know of a couple people who had died at this hospital because they didnt know what they were doing. It was also on 60 minutes I believe awhile back.

I felt the hospital staff were the best, they are very attentive and try and help in any way that they can.

I had problems with 2 nurses. First Roy in recovery. He needed me to sit up so they could get an x-ray. When I told him I was in pain he told me I could have something "after" when I told him no, now he said " Jesus Christ" and went and got it. Then yanked me up for the film. I dont remember much of recovery but I do remember him. 11-7 charge nurse Laura, as a fellow nurse often working charge myself, if a patient needs something, and your floor nurses are busy, get off your big lazy butt and get it. There was no reason I had to lay in my bed listening to the IV Complete alarm for an hour while you sat at the desk laughing and joking with the LNA's. I even came to you at the nurses station and you still did nothing.

They made me feel at ease about having surgery, they took care of all my needs during my stay, the staff is phenominal and I was very well taken care of...Thank you

wonderful staff, very caring

Highly recommended. The entire staff of Highland is very compassionate and caring. There was only one employee I didn't care for - her name was Dee. She had a snooty attitude! Thankfully, I only saw her once, but that was enough!

I had to stay an extra 2 days because of some small complications. I was running fevers and vomiting. My family didn't expect this, and since the third floor had a rec room that was dedicated to bariatrics patients only, and I was the only bariatric patient on the floor at the time, they put cots in the room for my husband and two children and allowed them to spend both nights there. They fed them, and treated them FANTASTICALLY!!! They were the best. The completely understand financially hardships, and unexpected events that can arise. They don't make you feel like just another number. They were very sympathatic with me and treated me like I was the only patient on the floor.
Highland is wonderful. Don't let their small image fool you. They could put a bigger hospital to shame any day!!!
