Nursing staff was excellent OR gave good/frequent updates to family member during my surgery

Exceptional

We had excellent care! Everyone was kind and I professional. Thank you!

The whole nursing staff was just awesome. I have spent a lot of time in the hospital and these guys were the exception to the rule. You should be so proud. From Troy to Keyshon and all who we’re there thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Best nursing staff

It was a very good experience

All of the nursing staff on H9 were very, very, very nice. I did not have one nurse that was not very attentive to my needs. I have their names written down, but I don’t have them with me right now. I believe, Kennedy, I just hate I don’t have them with me right now. All the nurses, all the CNA’s, all of the housekeeping staff, just everyone was very attentive, everyone was very polite. They asked if I needed anything each time they came in. Everyone was just very attentive to my needs

Best healthcare ever!!

I’ve been in a hospital quite a few times over the last few years. This was my best experience. Everybody was friendly and nice and cordial and always willing to fulfill requests.

All staff from Breast Center Surgery, Medical Oncology, Mammography Dept. M,Ds. Residents, Interns. Oncology, Medicine, Radiologist, O.R. and floor nurses on 9XX and every employee that I had contact with were courteous, and always asked if there was anything I or my family needed. SUPERB is not an adequate word for all the excellent services I received

Comfortable room very courteous kind nurses and others during my stay. I felt safe and cared for

Excellent staff and very professional and courteous! A great big heart felt thank you to the team. Thanks to nurse Amy!
