| Nurse “Carrie”--4th
Floor Short Stay—went out of her way to help us
both. Great bedside manner. |

anyone to your hospital. |

anytime. |

through all phases of my surgery. |

Emergency Department |

| Everyone was very
attentive and service was very fast. Hardly any waiting
times. |
| I had a very good
experience with your hospital. I felt like you really
cared and wanted to help me. |
| I am grateful
the staff allowed each of my 3 children to come back & see
that daddy was OK. |
| The staff at Deaconess
emergency acted in a timely manner. They were all
well-trained, they were friendly and courteous. They
explained every procedure in advance. They kept me
informed of any delays and what to expect of the
next step. Nurse Vikki was excellent in the manner
in which she provided care and explanations. Dr.
Edminster was thorough and took the time to explain
details of procedures and results of tests. The overall
friendliness and professionalism of all the staff
that helped me made the experience much easier… |
| The facilities
are top of the line—The doctors, nurses and other
personnel are SMART—extremely so—as they are QUICK
and SO very pleasant and polite. They have such an
easy camaraderie… |
| On the 3rd, Dr.
Reynolds. On the 4th Dr. Nania. Wonderful and Wonderful. |
| They immediately
offered me 2 warm blankets. |
| Dr. Jemmett was
a delight. |

| I thought the nurses
were very professional and awesome |
| One nurse I had
stood out above the others although they were all
very good. Rhonda is her name. |
| The nurses and
aides were very helpful and caring. I had wonderful
care |
| I have been in
other hospitals, but non as well-run as Deaconess—nurses,
aides, housekeeping, kitchen all rated more than
a 5 [out of 5] |
| Carol Washburn—was
an outstanding nurses’ aide. Barb…was an outstanding
nurse. |
