I wrote a review on Google about this place but after seeing the reviews here I felt compelled to share as well. I have only been in two hospitals for overnight stays -- one being in Brandon and the other here. I'd much rather have ended up in Brandon for this!
Pros:
- My doctor (Dr. San Martin) is AWESOME. I know a lot of good doctors are associated with this hospital. He is patient and very knowledgeable.
- About half of the staff you come into contact with is polite and caring. Out of my entire 4 day stay, I had 3 very sweet nurses; one in the ER, one in my room and one that came to take some blood. And that leads me to the rest of the people here...
Cons:
- Staff (nurses, room service)The majority of the staff I dealt with was pretty rude and condescending. A few like the aforementioned were good but the rest of them were callous and smart asses. I was having a major inpatient operation...of course I am going to ask questions you've probably heard a million times before. This does not mean you have to be a jerk to me! They really acted like they did not want to be there. Maybe HoF needs new scheduling policies to relieve these people of their stress! It can't be good for them or the patients.
- The food is HORRIBLE. I know it's kind of expected but the food in Brandon was excellent. I'd eat there if I was driving by and hungry! But if you're here for 3-4 days, you'll want something with a little bit more taste I'm sure.
So mostly my review is right on par with everyone else's. Avoid this place if you can!
