I get mixed reviews about St.Vincent's all the time. Most people go to the Clinic! I am having mine done at Parma.

How did you like St Vincent's?

\

My surgery was on November 7.

I have mixed feelings regarding St Vincents, The surgeon was great, the surgery went extremely well. The hospital staff at night was awesome, the day staff seems rather busy and I didnt see them much. One thing that really bothered me, was about a week after surgery, I had a fever after office hours, and I called the hospital operator (as directed) to have the PA call me back, I never was called back, when I questioned this at the next visit, I found out that another patient had the same issue, with not being called back

I'm glad I didn't choose St. Vincent's! My brother in law had his surgery there a few years ago and tried to talk me into it!

I think you made a good choice with Parma. They're a Center Of Excellence. Everyone there is always nice and helpful.

I think so too! I went for pre- op testing today and they nurses couldn't find a vein. They stayed calm the whole time and worked together without losing their patience which is nice!

Euclid here! Finished preop requirements and am waiting for appointment with the surgeon. Now I have to keep my weight off before the surgery - not easy with the holidays!
