UCHealth Memorial Hospital North

This is for the Outpatient Surgery Center at Printers Park.\r \r When a patient goes in for surgery the place they go to should be comfortable and relaxing. Memorial's Outpatient surgery at Printers Park is anything but relaxing and comfortable. The place reminds me of a surgery factory. You go in and sit in a chair until your surgery. There are no televisions or private cubicles-Memorial Central and North both have private cubicles and a television in each. You are made to wait for at least an hour and a half with nothing to take your mind off the impending surgery. The staff is nice but it took my nurse several tries to get an IV started and she even was digging around at one site which was very painful. Very cold and impersonal surgical center. It's too bad they have spent millions in upgrades at their two hospitals and buying equipment yet have done nothing to improve the patient experience at their outpatient surgery center at Printers park more

I have had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful medical staff while undergoing breast cancer treatment. Dr. Sharon, Drs. Oatis and Ridings, PT and all of their staff at Memorial North and Memorial South Cancer Treatment Center have been a blessing. \r If you are taking the drug Femara for breast cancer, a helpful hint for joint pain is to take Glucosamine/Chondroitin MSM (my personal exp). It helps and if you are in Colo Springs, go to Maximum Sports Nutrition for the licquid form more

On February 21st, 2012 I had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 29. I was pretty scared when I got to the hospital, pending surgery and all, and without the excellent hospital staff my stay would've been terrible. more

I had my second baby at Memorial North (my first was at Penrose on Academy). I thought, new hospital, we'll give it a try. Pros: Disrespectful, unwilling to help, incompetent, rude staff. Cons: New building. New equipment. more
