My 84 year old mother had to undergo an orthopedic procedure April 20, 2016 at the hospital.No complaints about the nursing staff or doctors.
BUT be very careful as the management has a rapacious attitude and system in place to squeeze as much money as possible.
I was told that a patient was entitled to a no cost follow up within a week after discharge . When we went for the follow up I was charged for it and given a strange explanation as to why the rule did not apply!
My mother had no insurance so we ended up spending close to 300, 000 and the follow up was 800 which is peanuts compared to what was spent at the hospital! It is the attitude and deviousness of the management which put me off.
When I told them at the time of paying the bill that my mother was a senior citizen they offered a senior citizen discount which came to about
5 thousand. Lots of items including medication were not included in it which is a farce.
The funny part is that they tried to market any air mattress rental at 300 a day to prevent bed sores. Luckily some one told us changing sheets every day and position of the patient and keeping body dry is the best way to avoid bed sores. It has been tried and it works!
Now you make your educated decision if you would patronize this hospital
