I am pretty sure that my review will be controversial, with some, because I know that there are so…read moremany unfortunate and even tragic experiences at hospitals. Trust me I intimately understand this more than many because I was a Navy Corpsman, paramedic, nurse and ER specialist, plus my wife is a medical technologist and naturopathic doctor who has over 4 decades in hospitals, and that life experience coupled with a couple of personal hospital stays and losing my brother and father to cancer, my mother and both my in-laws to heart attacks are among a plethora of other unfortunate experiences over the years. Indeed I am acutely familiar with the good, bad and ugly of hospitals, enough said.
For the last 100 years, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare been serving been providing patient-centered care in our community and region.Their services include Behavioral Health, Cancer Care, Cardiology, Diabetes & Endocrinology, Ear, Nose & Throat, Emergency Medicine, Employee Assistance Program, Hospice Care, Imaging & Diagnostic Services, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Primary Care, Transplant, Weight Management & Wellness, Wone's Health and they have a good Emergency Department.
Having shared all that I am very happy with my last experience at Germantown Methodist. The staff in the ER were amazing. ECG, CT, MRI And blood work with a Dr exam in about an hour. Whoa!
Two of my family members and I have each had to spend one or more nights as inpatients at this hospital and on each of our stays I am very satisfied with the performance of the entire staff from the highly-skilled, sometimes overworked nursing staff to the housekeeping and transport staff and I couldn't leave out the fast and furious lab folks, they have always been very fast and reliable. I actually know one of the lab techs and was able to communicate with him directly, on 2 occasions for a family member, so that was really very helpful on a personal level but I promise I never abused a personal connection for my own care nor did I ask for special treatment, really.
Please note: This shining endorsement of the hospital and it's staff absolutely does NOT extend to the physicians, most of them are not hospital staff and can range from sharp to competent and from dull to incompetent and they all get there individual reviews/judgements apart from the hospital.
Enough said
Bottom line: I have had experiences at every local hospital and this one has the best all-around patient care.
