My initial visit to OPR was in mid-November for back surgery that ended up with a staph infection which caused me to return two more times both of which ended up in admission and very unpleasant experiences. The communication between departments, doctors, nurses and patients is abysmal. Everyone seems more interested in checking a box on the status whiteboard than paying attention to their surroundings. All of the nurses are very young, seem quite inexperienced and are backed up by assistants that appear to have very little understanding of what they are doing. I was on fluid IV and blood pressure monitor, each time I needed assistance un hooking to use the restroom one of the nurse assistant would come in and I almost always had to remind them to reconnect the equipment before they left. i could go on, but in summary I will avoid this facility in the future.
