    I had major hernia surgery the first week West Lakes was open and I just had a hip replacement day…read morebefore yesterday. Both times I felt like I got royal treatment from EVERYONE there. I must be doing something wrong (according to these reviewers) because I have zero complaints. I will never go anywhere else given a choice. I also went to the emergency there with a severe nosebleed several years ago at 3 AM and got great treatment that day, too. I had to wait a long time because my ENT Dr. Was performing an emergency surgery 100 miles away. I don't think it's coincidental that I've had such good treatment.

    My Dad had a planned surgery for months. They ended up having to move him across town to the Mercy…read moreOne downtown location for his recovery. This was unplanned and at a great convenance as his family lives in a rural part of the state! -The downtown Mercy one was awful! I am literally scared if I ever end up there! The nurses were not compassionate or empathetic at all! He had horrible pain management and was talked down to by many of the nurses. There was yelling in the hall from a nurse to a patient as well. My Dad felt uncomfortable to ask questions and request care during his stay. We are from a way bigger city than Des Moines and did not expect such awful care! They just wanted to push him out despite his high pain. No thought or care for his condition or age! WE WILL AVOID THIS BRANCH OF HOSPITALS IN THE FUTURE! This hospital should study up on the organization UCHealth! This is the top tier care we are used to! What a awful culture and patient care model.
