His staff are also excellent- from the P.A.'s to the office staff.

Everyone was rude (again?!). Just a rude culture here (can't believe this is my 2nd time reviewing them/didn't know was same co). Noone says "you're welcome, thank you, goodbye" if you initiate a hello, thank you or goodbye, don't expect to be responded to. Just a snotty/snobby bunch of people who found each other and work together. Even Dr. Dusch saunters out of your appt room without a goodbye, she just exits. Rude, rude and rude.

I was recommended to Dr Weise by a good friend of mine. I had my left hip replaced in 5/2024 and my right hip done this year 4/2025. Dr Weise did an amazing job both times and I will forever be grateful to him. He was always there to help me through it and always answered my questions and concerns. His office staff is top notch and I recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon. I am almost pain free and can get on with my life and play with my grandchildren. Thank you Dr Weise.

I did hear from his coordinator who keep me informed. I was in pain and wanted a surgery date which she said it would be awhile. Weeks passed and no word Most of my calls to her were not returned. When I did get a call returned it was were not scheduling until next year. I asked his office if I could be referred to another Dr I never heard back. Again poor communication. In Sept I gave up and was seen by Dr Sima in templeton. He agreed I needed a full knee and his staff began the process.The process was well coordinated, great communication and had my knee done in Nov and the surgery came out great. Respect Dr Devine but he needs to get his staff more patient friendly. Bob Goldman

I went to 3 other orthopedic Surgeons all said I would not be able to keep my Snow/Water Skiing up to the level I had been (especially the jumping). Dr Ferro's made me feel that as long as I train and keep in shape I would be able to Ski up to the same level. I was over the top happy and set up my replacement ASAP which went just as expected and I have been back on the water/snow with my left knee feeling better then ever. I'm now back in for my hips which my right Hip Replacement is scheduled on Jan 31st 2024. When I met with Dr. Ferro's he did assure me of course I would be walking normal and again skiing shortly after my surgery. I cannot wait! Review to be continued! Thank you Team Nano. I trust you!

He slides his leg and can't even cross his legs. He has no stability, there was a fracture during Gerri's surgery that he was never told about, and even after hip revision surgery, by cedars Sinai experts, he cannot walk because of the amount of damage done by dr. Ferro. I don't recommend this doctor especially because he ignored all calls and requests for help And information and now mark is completely disabled and in constant pain.

Getting Really Sick Puts Things To The Test…read more.... My wife almost died as a teenager from Ulcerative Colitis (before they knew what that was) and gets monthly shots for rheumatoid arthritis...so her immune system is compromised. In early April, she got a virulent infection with the "C-Diff" bacteria after taking a large dose of antibiotics prescribed by our dentist in advance of an oral procedure. Eventually, tests revealed an extremely high level of white blood cells which caused our primary care physician to call us at 8 AM on a Wednesday morning to say "go to the ER immediately". We did. My wife spent 8 hours in the ER at Arroyo Grande Community Hospital while they examined her and prepared an "isolation room" in the main building for someone with a very contagious condition. She spent 3 1/2 days there. Ratings: - Overall: 4 - Doctors: 5 - Nurses: 5 - Support Staff: 5 - ER: 3 - Hospital Room: 4 - Hospital Food (regular menu): 2 - Hospital Food (customized): 5 - Cafeteria: 2 - Parking: 3 - Doctors: Skilled. My wife saw an ER doctor who was fine, but could not be specific since she didn't have most test results. Later in the ER, she saw a Hospitalist, Dr Herrick, who reviewed the data and prepared her for the move to the main building. He visited each morning...as did an Infectious Disease Expert, Dr Holland. Both Herrick and Holland were knowledgeable, helpful and had a nice bedside manner (especially important when you're feeling lousy). - Nurses: Great. The primary RN she had in the ER was Kristina while the RN's who served her "isolation room" were Elleece and Vanessa. Everyone knew their job very well. Kristina was friendly and helpful. Elleece was the most focused on work. Vanessa was a little goofy, but in a good way. - Support Staff: Fine. Everyone we met knew exactly what to do with a minimum of fuss...and usually with a good sense of humor. The Occupational Therapist, Baxter, and the Physical Therapist, Josh, were knowledgeable and even entertaining. The Dietician was informative. - ER: Not a fun place, but better than on TV. My wife was in Bed #12 and the guy in #11 spent the day in loud agony. Nurses were around to help and answer questions, but 8 hours in a gurney type bed was not much fun. - Hospital Room: Her "isolation room", #34, had enough space for 1 1/2 people. It was drab and a bit worn down, but that reflected the building. The bed was much more comfortable. On a minor note, while the TV in the ER had a ton of cable channels, the one in #34 had very few. - Hospital Food: Depends. The regular menu given to patients seemed similar to Denny's. But a different menu where people could "customize their order" was MUCH BETTER! In fact, my wife declared the food from the "make your meal" menu was really good! - Cafeteria: Disappointing. The cafeteria is tiny with a few tables inside...a few in a covered patio and some outside in the fresh air. Minimal hot entrees and only 1 vegetarian choice - a bean burrito. There's a salad bar, but after the sad hot dishes, I didn't bother looking. At least I didn't get sick. - Parking: Tough. This hospital has increased in popularity during the past 10-15 years and outgrown some of its facilities...including parking. That's why they added a dirt lot in the back with a golf cart and driver available to move people who don't wish to walk. If you've got to go to a hospital, AG Community Hospital isn't a bad place. It's a convenient destination for nearby residents who don't want or need to go to SLO or Santa Maria, but as the population expands this hospital gets a greater number of patients than it was built for. Still they seem to manage the flow and adapt to the growing pains. Good people make a difference.

I recently was here for an apparent "viral infection" of which they could not determine the cause…read more The doctor seemed sort of off with her responses meaning I don't think she even knew what she was talking about so she just made stuff up. I was then escorted out of the hospital by arroyo grandes police department as soon as I was discharged, I walked out to a police officer asking if I was meagan and he would not allow me to leave without permission from staff who called police to report that I could be driving under the influence, that was not possible because I'd been vomiting all day long and couldn't even keep my allergy meds down. That being said the discharge nurse of whom which I've already reported assumed instead of asking me directly that I was "under the influence " of I'm guessing maybe she thought a sedative or something? But all I had from the hospital was two IV drip bags and drip Tylenol... Literally the most disgusting absurd treatment I've ever had or experienced and I will NOT be returning to this slime grime hospital again, I do not tolerate disrespect like this and nobody should assume and should always politely ask, I am happy to answer questions but just plain assuming is lazy and unprofessional. I find my experience is much better at any of the Cottage hospitals I've visited and will just keep visiting those instead of this laughing stock of a place.
