I had to spend an unexpected couple of days in the orthopedic ward, getting intravenous antibiotics. The staff were pleasant, good-humored (sometimes downright funny), and diligent. The doctor kept me informed as to my progress and his concerns, and was quite personable. Wonder of wonders, the food was even good!

This was not my first experience with St. Luke's. Last year my husband spent nearly 2 weeks there - first in the ICU, then in cardiac care and recovery. The care was first-rate; the staff was first-rate. The doctors who saw him in the clinic could also follow him in the hospital, and did so. (This is not the case at Essentia, where the clinic doctors cannot follow their own patients during a hospital stay.)

I highly recommend St. Luke's and their staff.
