I was impressed with Medical City Las Colimas from the moment my wife walked into the ER. A trained attendant brought a wheelchair to her car and within minutes I was in a hospital bed and being administered oxygen at a very high flow rate as two nurses took vital signs and prepared IV s. Two physicians visited with my wife and I within the first hour. I was kept in the ER area for several hours with frequent if not constant attention, then transferred to a room in the PCU. I stayed there for 17 days as my requirements for auxiliary oxygen slowly diminished from 60 L/M to 2.5. During that time I had wonderful attention from many, many nurses and felt TLC from each and everyone of them as well as housekeeping personnel and one afternoon an IT specialist that was working on some glitches in the computer in my room. I had several visits from a person from administration to make sure I had no complaints or problems. The nurses were especially wonderful and not a single one ever complained when I tore off one or more of my heart monitor leads while repositioning myself in bed, sometimes several times per shift. I felt bad giving them extra work but they assured me that this is just a part of their job. Once my auxiliary oxygen requirement dropped enough that I could get out of bed without assistance, I received several visits from a couple of different physical therapists and an occupational therapist in with advice and instructions in preparation for my return home. I had visits by at least one doctor every day and sometimes by two. Care was very thorough, very caring and very professional in all phases during my stay. In addition to that, food was good, quite tasty and with a good variety. I would not recommend a hospital stay to anyone, but if one is required for you, Medical City Las Colimas is an excellent choice for high quality care.
