My doctor is based out of SJMC (his clinic is inside the hospital) and he is by far the best doctor I've ever had. I've had doctors in CA, OR, and WA. His bedside manner is fantastic and his medical staff are amazing.

No hospital is perfect, of course, but I have never been appalled or disgusted by any aspect of this hospital. I've been in the ED for family issues and as someone who has seen behind the scenes.

My 4-year old son had to go because of a deep laceration on his scalp and, instead of the doctor just throwing some staples in there and charging us for it, he told us that we could do that if we chose, or we could let it heal on its own. I appreciated his candor. My husband had to go there because of a broken nose; and, while they couldn't do anything for his nose except give him an ice pack, the bed side manner of both the nurse and the doctor who saw us were very kind.

I had always heard horror stories about this hospital (my son was born in OR because of that) but I have seen nothing so far that would validate those stories. SJMC has been fantastic so far, and I'm excited about delivering baby #2 in town this summer.
