Peri-anesthesia, pre-op, and post-op staff were excellent. Dr. Postma, Orthopaedic Surgeon, and his residents staff are top-notch. Good bedside manner and willing to engage in detail discussion about the surgical procedure and after.

Hospital only gets a four because I was admitted for overnight and never got a room. I was brought to a Post Anesthesia Care ward with 15 - 20 curtained bays. It was uncomfortably humid and warm when they delivered me to the ward around 8:00PM. First time I've ever been in a hospital and didn't need a blanket (as patient) or sweater (as visitor) in the patient area. My bay was near the central station so I heard every bell and phone ring, and (at least) one side of most of those conversations.

Nurses, aids, and staff on the unit, also earned the highest marks for care giving, though.
