    Burrito bowl from garden cafe
    Beth C.

    If I got sick, this is definitely where I would want to go. The team approach to care here is wonderful when it's working well (although at the beginning of the visit there can be done bumps in the road as everyone gets up to speed). There's a few glitches in the matrix for sure -- a volunteer knocked on my friend's closed door while she was sleeping, barged in without being invited, and very loudly asked if she wanted a magazine -- jolting her from her sleep. To say I was nonplussed seriously doesn't cover it! The rooms are generally nicely appointed (although there are some counterintuitive issues with the furniture -- it would be nice if the recliners actually reclined or the "couch" had a table on the side instead of the middle so loved ones spending long hours at a patient's bedside could be a more comfortable). The facility itself has some lovely features (the bright area atrium and the garden cafe area is a welcome oasis, with stories-tall trees and lots of light. They serve local Water Street coffee and Victorian Bakery products in the cafe, and have a large cafeteria with lots of options (today's burrito bowl was extremely ample and healthful). Parking is definitely a pickle (this afternoon there was seriously not a spot in the entire 4-story ramp) and there are never enough handicap spots at the garden entrance to meet the needs of their patients (many of whom double park in the turn-around area). I've always felt my loved ones were in the best care the area has to offer when I've visited them here.

    I was admitted to the hospital last week, after having been diagnosed with bacterial sepsis. I was discharged 6 days later in much better shape. With only one exception, the hospital staff that assessed and treated me - hospitalists (which unexpectedly included my doctor), a surgical resident and a Physician Assistant (PA) from Colon and Rectal Diseases, the Nurses, & the Patient Care Assistants (PCAs) - were professional, skilled, attentive, and kind. What they were doing and why they were doing it was always explained to me. I'll continue to see my doctor and the PA, but I'll likely never see the nurses or PCAs that were assigned to me ever again. But if I were ever to get ill again and get assigned to their floor, I'd be completely confident that I'd be getting the very best care. The one exception was, I have decided, an outlier. A skilled and capable nurse, she lacked people skills. She was assigned to me toward the end of the admission for only one 12 hour shift. The staff were attentive to washing their hands, wearing plastic gloves, etc. The insertion and later removal of the two IVs in my forearms was done with consideration. (As I write this review, I have no bruising and you'd be challenged finding any mark showing where the IVs had been.) The room was fine. Yelp is about food and drink so my last comments will address the meals. The food was up and down, depending on what I ordered. The Personal Pan Pizza and omelets were delightful. The spaghetti with meat sauce was always cooked to perfection but was too small of a serving (and I know that the kitchen counts carbs, so I understand why the entree had to be that way). The protein in the meatloaf was forgettable and the mushroom gravy had a weird viscosity. I was, at first, encouraged by the chicken salad sandwich because there were chucks of both white and dark meat. But it had been made by someone who neglected to add enough mayonnaise so the sandwich did not hold together. The chicken in the Chicken Caesar Salad was oddly minced, and it was not at all appetizing. The coffee was painfully weak, worse than bad diner coffee, as if a brown crayon had been swirled a couple of times in hot water. And powdered creamer is simply offensive. Once I figured out what worked from the menu, I just stuck with those items and was content. Everything that was supposed to be hot, arrived hot. And cold was cold. The kitchen uses some sort of heavy duty dark brown plastic cover for its hot dishes that was very effective. The people delivering the meals were efficient but still gracious and friendly. There was a page early in the menu explaining that some local sources for food products were used, and Sarkozy Bakery was mentioned. But I know Sarkozy Breads. If you cut me, I will bleed Sarkozy Breads. I tasted no Sarkozy Breads in any of the meals. I would have no reluctance recommending this hospital.

    Great care through outpatient surgery and hand surgery seems to be a success but typing is impossible! Great before, during and after care!

    I had been long walking on a left knee that ached and hurt. My internist's office referred me to…read morethis group. I'm now three weeks past a left knee replacement and I have been completely satisfied with the services from this group, from the DO (VanHuysen) and the orthopedic surgeon (Roehr) to the nurses, the Physician Assistants, and the X ray technicians. All have been professional. I'm impressed by the quality of care and the attentiveness to my situation. And, best of all, my left knee no longer hurts at all. The previous review (from '13) blames the billing issues on the practice but I bet it is more about the hospital at large. I've noticed that when patients carry a balance (e.g., their insurances have paid the hospital but the patients haven't yet paid their portions) they are often asked if they want to "pre-pay" some amount on subsequent services. My portion of the bill after my insurance paid was $323 (not an unreasonable amount, I thought). Payment was due Sept. 9. I mailed my check to the hospital in mid August. But before the check cleared, I went to the Outpatient Lab for labwork. It was there I was asked at Registration if I wanted to "pre-pay." Of course not, I said. My insurance is awesome and I always pay my bills on time. I suppose it's a reminder that hospitals are a business and they need to pay their bills too. About the practice in question, I know that pre-authorization for services was successfully sought, I had in August received in the mail an Explanation of Benefits (EOB), and MyChart shows an itemized bill. I would have no reluctance recommending this practice (and, as it turns out, one of my friends who is marveling at my progress, decided to pull the trigger and get an appointment at the practice in early September to look at his wonky knee).
