I have had good & bad experiences with Borgess but mostly bad. Even with past bad experiences I have stuck with them due to being the easiest one in terms of location. I am transferring all of my services elsewhere from now on. This most recent visit was eye opening to how bad they really can be. I was admitted for surgery on my colon. The nurse had no idea I was even having surgery & said that I was there for possible appendicitis. The doctor ordered tests & fluids to prep me for surgery and make sure I was okay for it. I was extremely dehydrated. I was there 4 hours or more before surgery & the whole time I saw the nurse once and never received the tests or fluids that had been ordered. Get down to surgery and the surgeon realizes that none of the orders had been done. They take a pregnancy test and continue with the surgery. I was not given any blood tests until after the surgery. I was scared to continue without it but they insisted. This is totally not the first nightmare experience I ve had but the most recent. The surgeons were fantastic and a few nurses but other than that it was a very bad experience.
