Our doctor was wonderful! The surgery was serious and everything went very smoothly. The procedure required a two-night stay. I'm only rating this hospital a 2 because our young daughter's stay at St Vincent Fishers was below average. The nurses we had the first 24 hours were attentive and caring. The next two days were challenging as our daughter was in a lot of pain. The nurses were not as attentive and crabby at times, especially the one we had Friday night. An older female nurse acted like a drill sergeant. The FOOD was horrible! It may sound like a small detail, but you want good food so you can start feeling better. We had to bring food in for our daughter the entire stay. The cafeteria did not use real plates with stainless covers. They use this strange material that was almost like a composite. All the food tasted like this material. I'm sure it's easier to clean but probably same used in prisons. Even the toast had a taste of the weird plates they used. If I or any of my family members ever have to have surgery we will go to St. Vincent's Carmel or 82nd Street. Thirteen years ago I delivered my daughter at St. Vincent's on 82nd Street. The food was wonderful as was the care! If you want to compete with other hospitals in the area you need to change a lot of your practices. Dr. Alex Meyers and Dr. Nowacki are amazing at this facility, just don't spend the night.
