Review of Corpus Christi Medical Center-...

I read these reviews, and they range from one end of the spectrum to another. I can't believe it is the same hospital. I have nothing but good things to say about this hospital and the staff that attended my husband when he went in to have his prostate removed because of early cancer detection. First, major kudos to Dr. Alan Nisbet, the best urologist in Texas, in our opinion. He's done over 300 prostatectomies. Expert in the Da Vinci robot, and my husband's prostatectomy was a breeze. Still surgery, mind you, and everyone we encountered on the staff, including the nurses, the nurses' aids, the nurse manager, and even the lady who brought the meals...cheerful, courteous, knowledgable, and sincere, and did everything they could to monitor my husband and help him during his recovery there. Everyone moved about efficiently and with great coordination. We walked the halls numerous times during our few days at the Corpus Christi Medical Center (Bay Area), 3 West, and we saw many employees and much activity. There were very few times that we weren't greeted. Every nurse that took care of my husband was efficient and sweet, espcially Lindsey, Erica, Rina (nurse's aid), and even Oscar was super accommodating and patient when we went for my husband's first short walk. Blanca was nice, too. But I think the one my husband will remember most is Jacki. Her father did 3 tours in Vietnam, and my husband is a Vietnam vet. Jacki seemed to take a personal interest in us, and she gave very clear and careful instructions before we left, because I needed to know how to take care of my husband's foley bag and JP drain, especially. She even gave me the phone number to the nurse's station in case I had a question after we got home. Jacki was so helpful, and gave my husband a hug as he got out of the wheelchair before he got into the car. My husband got teary-eyed. We couldn't be more impressed with these wonderful people on the 3 West ward of Corpus Christi Medical Center, and I would recommend this hospital to anyone.
