St Agnes Hospital Hospital


I had surgery July 31, 2012. I hate hospitals, especially when I'm the patient. But if I had to do it again, there's no other hospital I'd go. St Agnes was wonderful. They're a center of excellence and once inside, you can see why. The whole floor was just bariatric patients and it was new. Every room was private, which was fantastic. The beds were made for bariatric patients and the bathrooms were well equipped to handle that. The staff was amazing for the most part. I only had an issue on my last day with some very rude nurses who cared more about their issues with each other than they did our care. But the other nurses and techs were so amazing. They were always there to help and to talk if you needed it. They were gentle and well educated in bariatrics. The whole floor was spotless at all times and even with so many patients that just had surgery, the place helped keep up morale.
All in all, it was beautiful, accommodating, filled with great staff, and most importantly, comfortable.

While my surgery was done on a day where the hospital/nurses were not busy, I received excellent care and attention. I didn't have a roommate and never had to deal with the "other side of the curtain" problems that can sometimes arise. All of the doctors and nurses were wonderful (but one - she just wasn't all there). My sister however had a different experience because she had surgery on a very busy week. I had a great stay, she may have another review!

The nurses including the head charge nurse was horrible! I was left for 2 1/2 hours with out my pain pump hooked up correctly. The nurses were always behind the nurses station eating, laughing and chatting while patients were calling to them. It would take hours before anyone came and you always had to call at least twice. The head nurse did not read my chart nor was she familiar with my needs after surgery. My husband had to mess with the pain pump to get it too work every 6 mins! The nurses were so lazy and stupid thank god nothing went wrong or else i know i would have died. thank god my husband was there as well!
