My husband was transferred here from another hospital after having a stroke. Had I known it was that I would ve driven him here myself. The staff were always kind to us through our many questions and concerns, he was transferred to different units (stroke unit, seizure unit, etc.) in a timely manner and seen by many different doctors. They performed every test they could to try and find the cause of his blood clot that lead to the stroke. My husband wasn t an easy patient either, after being in there for a week he was very irritable and not too pleasant to be around, but they still remained polite and attentive. The only reason I knocked off a star is because of how difficult it was to get ahold of anyone once he was discharged, for his follow up care and test results. Ended up having to find our own neurologist and that office called multiple times to get all his files transferred over, otherwise we probably never wouldn t gotten the results of his tests. Other than that I was overall very happy with the care he received.
