I would not recommend this hospital. I had surgery that resulted in damage to my left chest wall. The damage continues to this day and requires every 3 month nerve blocks and numerous pills every day. Post surgery it took me several months to obtain my medical records. When my insurance company threatened to initiate an investigation of why the withholding of my records, the CEO / COO and other Sr Management gave me (a 26 yr patient) the CDs and said "now you have what you want, don't come back". I was also told they had "banned" me from the hospital except for entry via emergency room. What makes this entire issue worse is every time I asked why I was in such extreme pain, I was never advised of extensive nerve damage done during surgery and known by all involved, except me. This place has never admitted to any fault or responsibility that I now have clear evidence was intentionally with held from me. Treatment was with held and I was once threatened by my PCP should he learn I reached out to other medical professionals for advise to help with pain or a solution.

An important fact is the Resident who told me I required surgery because "I was a walking time bomb with the makings of a widow maker" held me over until his superior surgeon got back to town. He was playing let's take a chance holding this patient for our learning purpose VS sending me to a different hospital for immediate care. This Resident also said he had never observed, been trained or certified to perform my surgery so he would be "only an observer in the operating room". It turns out he was the "Primary Surgeon"

I could and will likely write a book about several of the hospital Medical and Non Medical staff, but for now, I would strongly suggest you not accept the first offer and get a second opinion!
