There is a ballad waiting to be written - something along the lines of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" perhaps - about this woman who is strong, obstinate and disturbingly determined. The ballad should also be about the place that heroically enabled her stubbornness and resolve. Here's the raw data, and wildly, every bit of it is true. I pieced it together after speaking with about a dozen people. 10 weeks after having undergone two heart procedures, my nearly deaf 93-year-old mom sets out on her own for an adventure. Her goal? The scrumptious lox bagel at Mary's Cafe. She missteps exiting the car and... kaboom! She falls and breaks her hip. She is literally across the street from St. David's Medical Center. A kind man rushes to her aid. Together, at her command, they get her BACK IN THE CAR. SHE DRIVES HERSELF ACROSS TOWN AND GOES HOME. There, she realizes that she can't get out of the car. She is half in-half out. After ten minutes, an innocent passerby in our quiet residential neighborhood hears her bleating plea and - again - at her command, helps get her back in the car, whereupon mom DRIVES HERSELF ACROSS TOWN AND BACK TO ST DAVID'S. It took three nurses and the manager of concierge services to extract her from her old beater Honda - the one with manual door locks - and it ended up in valet parking alongside the Porsches and a Ferrari. Mom would go on to have a nine inch nail inserted in her hip and spend two weeks at St. David's, one week in the Medical Center and one week in St. David's Rehabilitatiom Hospital. Here she was treated with dignity and compassion by every single person we encountered. And there were tons of them. Every effort was made to make her feel comfortable. Cozy even. The staff made her laugh. Encouraged her. Listened carefully to every word she said. Her in-house doctors watched over so thoughtfully. The physical and occupational therapists helped her to understand that she *could* meet her goal of regaining her independence. Yes, there were times when a nurse promised to bring her something and then forgot, but really, things couldn't have gone better. The food? Not too shabby, and if you are a visitor, there are alternating pop up caterers for things like sushi, Indian and Mexican food, every week day. Parking? Free if you're over 65. Just scan your driver's license instead of your parking stub. And my mom's old beater Honda rubbing shoulders with the glamor cars in Valet? I drove it out myself... free of charge. read more

I was sent to St David's to get imaging of my colon with a barium enima. We scheduled north location since it is closer. They told me no prep was necessary, which was odd but fortunate. When we got there, checked, escorted to radiology, i was informed they do not do that procedure at that location! I had to reschedule 3 weeks later at the south location. This time I prepped ($167 sutabs) the night before. We are driving there the morning of the procedure when they call me to tell me they ran out of barium yhf day before and will need to reschedule! Absolutely incompetence! Do not recommend them!!​ read more

Just have to give a negative review for the lack of helpful signage in the hospital garage. If you are seeing a doctor at thr medical center, there is no information offered. I saw one sign gir the rehab center. It took me about 29 minutes of wandering around to figure out where to go. read more

Be extremely cautious and careful when getting anything done in this hospital. While my surgery was a success, I was not provided proper pain relief medication at my doctor's recommendation for nearly 12 hours post surgery. The order was in, but the staff simply was not available to provide the drip install. Also, pay close attention to your bill. While my surgeon and the hospital were in-network, they selected to use an out-of-network componenet to my care. I was not told about this and was billed out of network while staying in the hospital for that part. Thank god for the No Surprises Act, making the charges only $700 vs the thousands of additional dollars in the bill. But I was not told about this until more than a year later. So even though my surgery took me well over my more than $5,000 max out of pocket, I now have to pay an additional $700. Add into that... I was sent a letter so much later that I can't even appeal it with my insurance. Extrmely shady practice. Very disappointed and would not recommend this hospital. read more

Come before 5pm if you can so you don't get stuck with the night shift change! Went to the ER last night for my boyfriends uncontrollable GI symptoms, head pain, fever, etc and got there at 5:45pm, got seen by a DR by 6:30, of course we came at shift change so that's where things went south, things were super fast from 6:30-7 got all the blood tests, ekg, cat scans etc and then basically from 7-10:30pm we were just sitting in 2 chairs waiting really for nothing because all the tests show they were read and executed at 7:30pm but they were so busy no ER rooms or regular hospital rooms were available they said. The poor person next to us had been there since 10am and still had no room to be admitted to the regular hospital. 5 star review for 5:45pm-7pm with nurse Ryan, radiologist Shay, and Dr Yadav. They were super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable even when they were at the end of their 12 hour shift they gave us exceptional care. If I could give 0 stars to the night crew nurse / care after that I would they were rude, short spoken and 0 compassion for any of the patients in our area that were there. read more

So I was very ill and got myself to St Davids emergency room on 32nd Street where I immediately felt safe and well cared for. Long story short I was diagnosed very quickly with pneumonia and received IV antibiotics and a breathing treatment. Physician on duty was Jason Graf who is probably younger than my children. He was confident and immediately went to work trying to get me feeling better. He not once called me sweetie or honey and/or treat me like I was an idiot. Things moved very quickly and efficiently. I would not hesitate to return to that emergency room. I have been to several over the years and I can honestly say I have never had better care. read more

Absolutely MARVELOUS hospital! I had major surgery a few weeks ago and had to spend 10 days in St. David's afterwards due to some minor complications. I'd never spent more than a night in any hospital and I was very uncomfortable for the first 4-5 days. The doctors, nurses, techs and other staff that helped treat me were nothing short of fantastic. Everyone was incredibly helpful and empathetic. If you have to spend time in a hospital, it's no fun. However if you're treated as well as I was, you'll end up forgetting the rough part of the stay and remember how great the people were! read more

My son who has been diagnosed as having a severe mental condition was treated very badly at St David's. He was brought in by ambulance early Tuesday morning, after being picked up at a hotel parking lot, wondering with no clothes on.the outside temperature was 31 degrees. He was later released with no shoes and only a hospital gown, because he was found ok to function by hospital staff. They showed no compassion for my son, for he is homeless, no possessions or money. What is wrong with this hospital, Showing no compassion or understanding what my son was going thru. I read this is a helping hospital, but seems to pick and choose who they help. read more

I had a nasty cut on my finger Sunday evening and reluctantly turned myself in to the emergency room at St Davids. I expected to wait hours and hours, to be there half the night, but I was pleasantly surprised. They took excellent care of me. They were prompt, friendly, and very efficient in stitching up my finger and I was out the door a little over two hours which amazed me. I've just received a follow up text to make sure I'm feeling better and ask if I want to give any feedback. It's good to know we have a top quality emergency room for minor emergencies like mine. Kudos.! read more

My physician Gaurang Shah and my Nurse Claire Fazzone were amazing. They did exactly what you want a Dr and Nurse to do. I felt comfort and relief and cared for and I was seen within 20 mins of checking in. I was in extreme pain 8/10 due to a bad tooth infection that had been hurting me all week until I could not bare the pain any longer. I'm able to come home pain free and get this taken care of tomorrow at a dentist. I also got 3 days off work note and I didn't even ask so that was also awesome. This was the best experience I've had going to the emergency room. I don't have insurance at the moment and that's no problem they will be billing me. I went to two other emergency rooms and was told to pay up front before being seen which I understand but was not able to pay hundreds of dollars this day. read more

I walked in at 10:30am discharged at 1:15 then again discharged at 4:30. ST DAVID'S on 32 seconde street, is not a hospital to go into if you suffer from depression. Thier lack of communication and concerned for thier patient. There was no explanation of my results of my test till after hell broke loose. Doctor yelled and raised his voice accuse me with a bad attitude when he was causing a scene. Took another dept to put this bad doctor in check, and he was told to apologize for his action. Not sincerely and was not accepted. Being abused brought back memories. Couldn't look at him. Crying for hours with no help to calm me down. I placed my life and wellbeing in this doctor. Supposedly to be professional and ​took a oath to save lives not to be destroyed, and he did. I will not recommend this hospital to my worse enemy. All I hear is we're looking into it, for months! nothings is for free but after receiving the worse treatment of my life, paying for horrible ​services is down right unjust. Please go somewhere else if you want proper care! Will not be coming back read more

This is regarding my experience with the Allergy dept. Expect to make multiple wasted trips to get allergy shots. You make an appointment for shots, then when you go there they say that you have to sign a paper to refill your vials. No shots today. Wasted trip. Go in the next time and they say that your insurance hasn't approved the charges yet. Another wasted trip. My advice is to ask for assurance before you go there that you will be able to get shots before you waste another trip. You could go there expecting to get shots and...Surprise! You can't get shots today. Too bad. It would be nice if they would just give a quick call to let me know that I can't get shots, before I waste another trip. I was generous to give them 2 stars because when you ARE able to get shots, it goes well. read more

The Hospital and staff are great! But whoever is in-charge or contractor that operates parking garage #2 should be terminated. Took 20 minutes to leave garage after following the directions numerous times,. I called the posted help phone# and used scanner symbol nothing! Finally someone showed up to open gate. Cars backed up in both exit lanes. Not the first this has happened, St David's is better than this. read more

I delivered my baby via c-section at St.David mid October. Although this was my first pregnancy and delivery so i can't compare it to any other facility but I personally had phenomenal care the 4 days that we were there. Every single maternity nurse pre, post op as well as during recovery were amazing. They truly respected my needs and wishes. No one was pushing me to do anything that i didn't want. I made it very clear from pre op time that i won't be breastfeeding and they respected that wish all the way and never pushed me to even try it. The nursery nurses and pediatric doctor were phenomenal. We are forever great full that we had such an amazing time during such stressful time of our lives. The level of care and attention to detail that i got was impeccable. read more

My husband was admitted for a pulmonary embolism. As we got to his room, there were no supplies for him at all and we had to ask for some. When I came to visit him on the 5th floor the second day he was lying in his bed in urine and some bowel movement. He needed to use the bathroom but could not do it by himself. They didn't even provide him with a urinal. We called the nurse on the red button on the remote and she said we will be right there. Several minutes later, I had to go to the desk to tell the nurse he needed help now so she finally came. He then needed a shower and he sat on the commode several more minutes waiting for someone to help him with a shower. The lady who came in to check his vitals tried to get someone to help but couldn't find anyone so she helped him with his shower. While he was in the shower, a younger girl came to change his sheets and had such a negative, bad attitude about it. Once she got the sheets changed, she put the same cover sheet and blanket back on the bed and I asked her for a clean set because that one smelled so bad. She was irritated at that and actually left the room with the dirty sheet on the floor. Meanwhile, as my husband finished his shower, the nurse told him to walk on over to the bed with his walker with water dripping. As he tried to sit down holding onto the walker, his feet slipped in the water on the floor. Thank goodness the bed was behind him. As I was leaving for the night, he had not had anything to eat. I had to ask the nurse how he gets his food. She informed me you have to dial #4-7777 to order meals. No one had even told us how to get meals. First of all, how are patients supposed to be expected to know how to order meals - especially when, like my husband, was struggling mentally after all he had been through and doesn't understand. So, I ordered it for him. Thank goodness there was one very sweet nurse who told me she would order for him for his dinner and breakfast the next morning. She was my best experience and I thank her! Wish I had her name! She was also the one who got a better bed for him because he was in an older bed with no alarm. On a positive note, the young lady who did the ultra sound was very kind and helpful. I will never recommend this hospital to anyone ever! People depend on these nurses to be more compassionate as they and family are going through a difficult time - especially near death experience. I understand these nurses go through a lot and it's hard for them, also. My husband is a very kind and very patient person and to be treated like this was the most horrible experience I have ever been through. I woke up with the sight of what my husband was lying in and no one to even help or care. read more

Last summer my disabled daughters was at St David's Central and was given terrible care. There had been a lot of cuts s to staff there and it was a very difficult situation but the atmosphere was really horrible. unfortunately it led to a terrible mistake from the hospita. . My daughter was not given her seizure medications for over 5 days because the emergency room pharmacist tech position had been cut and medications weren't transmitted to the hospItalist knew nothing about them. Because of this my daughter after being released had a severe seizure that ended up with star flighted to Seton Dell Hospital where she had to receive seizure medication through an IV drip. This is because St. David's now runs their hospitals under a corporate model and not as a medical facilit. Profit over patient care is how St. David's now operate. read more

I had to bring my wife here for emergency room visit and overnight stay and I thought I would clue you in on what you will experience when you get here. The first thing you notice about coming here for an emergency room visit is trying to figure out where you pull in to. We drove around the hospital and the emergency entrance was blocked by a truck so we had to go through a different entrance. Thankfully, a staff member grabbed a wheelchair and rolled her into the emergency room where she waited in the waiting room for about three or four minutes until she was admitted. One thing you need to know is that it's best to park at garage #1 on 30th St if you're a visiting family member. They have a few other garages, but they are dedicated for other purposes, which is why you should park at #1. You can get your parking ticket validated, but there are some restrictions. If you're over 65 or clergy, you park for free. I got my ticket validated from the emergency room, but was not able to get the next day validated, so 4 hrs cost me $8. If this is your first time here, it can be quite the maze. At some point during the emergency room visit, you (not the patient) will be visited by an admin who will take down your insurance information and get you to sign and initial several legal documents (which would take a long time to read if you had the time) on an iPad for billing. I found out this is definitely the hospital you want to be at when experiencing a stroke or a heart attack. I did not have time to read any of the reviews prior to coming here and you'll notice they vary wildly. Also, I don't think it's possible to give this place a comprehensive review due to all the different aspects that this hospital encompasses. After the emergency room staff stabilizes you, you are moved into a holding room and you can be there for many hours. During those hours, housekeeping, staff and specialists will visit with you. It took about 10 hours from the check in till we got her own private hospital room. There is a recliner in the room in case a family member wants to stay overnight in the room. I would like to mention that they have a good menu when it comes to ordering dinner (for the patient) and the food is better than you'd expect. We were impressed with the doctors and staff. Be sure to bring a cell phone charger since none is provided. I'll add more to this review when the billing comes since that is part of the final experience. Update: Got the final bill. Thank God we had Blue Cross Blue Shield because an overnight stay plus all the lab work was $47,500. read more

If the care persons that came and went out of my Mother's room were a 100% on care or being on the same page when asked questions, I'd say 95% of them are incompetent. The house keeper was a better care giver and showed more compassion than the shift change nurses. I had to beg for them to give my Mother a wash down after 10 days not able to care for herself. Bed sores. Irrigation from the Purewick tinkle stick, old blood sitting around her arm IV. Confusion on when she ate, what to eat and if she ate at all. I had so insist that they put leg circulators on her, they said they should have been on her the whole time she was down. They said turning her would need to be stated by her Dr. , when mentioned to him, Mother should have been repositioned every 2 hours or so. My sister came into the room to find our Mother cuddle up with a needle, used gloves and medical trash on her bed. We hardly left the bedside because of their negligence. There is more reasons to list. Do not think the head nurse on floor or the person above her will fix issues, they do not return calls and just want you to forget. read more

The medical personnel are very good, almost without exception. Unfortunately, they are horribly understaffed, and quality suffers badly. No physical therapy (or any other kind of therapy); no baths; no guidance for family as to home care; inappropriate food; a charge nurse disdainful of the professional standards of her profession. This is not the institution it once was; the Foundation should look very carefully at management and profit-taking. The city deserves better. read more

My mother went in for surgery October 8. This hospital has the worst communication I've ever dealt with. My mom normally is at Seton. (They are very attentive responsive. Call you with updates. Give you update updates when you call this hospital.)I've called numerous times and so has my brother the nurses station always has excuses or makes up stories about why they can't give you an update at the time and never returned your calls. They've lost her dentures and nobody wants to be held accountable for them or will they talk to me about them stay away from this hospital. If you love your loved ones do not let them go there. read more

My family member had surgery at ST David Main this month (September 2025) in Austin, TX. We went to that hospital for the Neurosurgeons excellent reputation. The surgery went well. When the surgery and recovery was complete he was sent to the neuro/spine unit. Once we arrived on the unit we noted that the RN and nursing tech assigned to his care were also assigned to 3 isolation patients. One patient was in respiratory isolation (droplet precautions) and 2 in contact precautions as noted by the signage on the patient room doors. This is not an acceptable assignment for a fresh post op spine case. This was no fault of the nursing team but rather a failure of the organization to prioritize safe patient outcomes. We asked for him to be relocated and for a new assignment to an RN who was not simultaneously taking care of isolation patients. This was done and the unit leader was very nice. We did have to keep asking at each change of shift if the RN or Tech had isolation patients. And in some instances, we asked, for example, that the tech not enter his room to provide care since the tech had been assigned isolation patients. The issue of concern is cross contamination; microorganisms can be transferred from patients on isolation precautions to fresh surgical patients via the staff's hands or clothing. Significant precautions must be taken and unfortunately I observed poor technique. The discharge process was not patient centered and offered no privacy once he was taken to the "discharge lounge," where the nurse read his discharge instructions to us while he sat in a wheelchair in the center of about 8 other patients. No assistance was offered to get him into the our vehicle. Our primary concern was the lack of lack of appropriate nursing assignments. Or a better question might be why are they placing isolation patients on a ortho/neuro post op unit? It is clear that we all must be our own advocate when it comes to healthcare. Ask a lot of questions and don't be squeamish about observing for simple but effective things like hand hygiene. Demand it. read more

I had surgery which was great and highly recommend Dr. Craig Kuhns; however the computer in my room used by nursing staff was broken and they were always searching for an available computer on rollers. I had compression sleeeves on my legs post surgery (lumbar spine fusion) to prevent blood clotting, but no machinery to hook it up was found for many, many hours later. The equipment in general needs an update. EVERYTHING, including the administration of my medication, was delayed by as long as 1.5 hours. A few days later, I went to their emergency room for post operative problems only to be put in an icy cold room with no blankets, and despite repeated requests for a blanket, one never came. I threatened to leave the emergeny room if someone did not bring me a blanket. That didn't work. No blanket ever arrived and I was shaking in the freezing cold room and had no choice but to leave without getting any medical attention. I will never use that hospital again. One of their best knee surgeons whom I had chosen for future knee surgery, had left the hospital over unresolved issues in the surgery room, I am told, and gone over to Seton along with his partner. read more

This is the second time we have had extreme problems with this hospital. When my son was first injured almost 2 years ago, he was paralyzed and they put him on the wrong mattress so he got a huge pressure wound. . When he went to rehab rehabilitation, he could only do 30% of the exercise exercises because of this sore that was unnecessary. My son also could not feed himself at the time and they would just drop his food off. This was an injury with no trauma whatsoever so my son and all of us were all just in shock and haunted. He is paralyzed from the collarbone down. so my son and all of us were all in shock and haunted. He is paralyzed from the collarbone down. He was there just weeks ago. his caretaker called EMS and she followed the ambulance and he was unconscious and they would not let her go back for a good hour. I'm horrified to know that my son was unconscious and paralyzed from the collarbone down with strangers around him. My son's caretaker kept mentioning that he had soiled his clothes when he went unconscious and he needed to be changed immediately or he would get a bed sore. After nearly 3 hours, my son was still sitting in fecal matter and urine. There is no excuse for this from any hospital. EVER!!! It is disgusting and is a practice that needs to be changed immediately. They don't seem to know at all what to do with paralyzed people. I did find out from someone there that they avoided his room because no one seemed to know what in the world to do with him. He's a human being and a Marine veteran, who is one of the nicest people you could ever meet yet they shunned him and treated him poorly. He had a huge blistering rash to the point that his testicles were bleeding. I have left messages with the advocate and somebody else at the hospital, but nobody has returned my phone call. I will continue to spread this word because my last review I took down because instead of calling me, they kept calling my son who was at rehabilitation and at the could not even answer his phone.. I don't know what's going on there, but I would go to Lakeway Baylor Scott White if you need to go to the ER. Better care hands down. read more

I went to ER on Friday afternoon with incredible back pain. Was treated immediately, diagnosed and transferred up to a room in less than an hour, there was no waiting for me. At that point I was preemptively diagnosed with a disc sitting on my nerve which caused this unbelievable pain. That afternoon I meet with neurologic surgeon, Dr. Tumu (absolutely fantastic) who confirmed disagnosis and scheduled surgery for Monday. I remained in hospital thru weekend being treated with a good deal of pain medication. The only complaint I have of the medical center is they have really uncomfortable beds for someone who is pretty much unable to move freely. Otherwise I would highly recommend St. Davids, the staff and all those who helped me. Dr. Tumu did such a fantastic job that I was able to go home the day after surgery and am now recovering just fine. Thanks to St. Davids read more

I kept going back and forth on how I would rate my experience here. I had a minor surgery here and it did go smoothly. I am hence alive. I have had surgery before but not at this location. I had some interaction with St. David's before my surgery day. This included emails and texts. I did not speak with the nurse until the afternoon before my surgery. I thought that was a little late in the game in case I needed to be off of certain medications longer. Luckily I am a nurse so I have some medical knowledge. My main concern was more or less with my surgeon's office which I will review separately. Their communication was nonexistent. The nursing staff during my procedure was excellent. During admissions, there was a nurse in training. Both of the nurses were too nice but I am not the typical happy-go-lucky person so probably not as appropriate on my part. I did think the IV insertion was not the greatest but the one nurse got it in at the same place she started. I also loved my post op nurse because we talked about aesthetics as I was waking up. Overall, I do like other hospitals in the area better than this location. The staff was great but I do feel their communication could improve. read more

I was in St. David's for10 days after a major surgery. I particularly want to give a shoutout to the 5th floor Oncology nurses. I couldn't have asked for a better care team.

A mixed bag. It took them 20 minutes to have an idea of what was wrong, 2 hours to complete the test to confirm it, then 9 more hours to have me in emergency surgery for appendicitis. They take Sendero HMO plans.2/3 people I'd recommend help you , Some great professionals like Ryan, Abby, Wanda... then the 1/3. An anesthesiologist who mocked me mispronouncing my own name while in pain saying once I say it I can be helped (he repeated this with a smile). Another nurse assistant who told me to stop crying when my pain meds wore off and walked away and forced injections into me with gusto that caused the iv arm site to burst into more of an open wound compared to the other side - I asked her to go slower please and she continued at the same pace and her reply was, "I was going slow." The food was ok, but my doctor put me on an eat anything diet I was suspicious of, so I ordered with my own caution after stomach surgery, then when I went home the instructions read soft food diet- some neglect here but at least they did the surgery same day. read more

While experiencing a medical emergency while on vacation, my husband was admitted for 10 days. While there were some nurses that were more competent than others, surgeon Dr Pham was a true delight to have on our medical team. He explained everything clearly so that even I (who has no medical training) could understand. The outcome was even better than we had hoped thanks to Dr Pham correcting shortcomings of some of the nurses training in real time! And we had a great view from the recovery room! read more

First off I just want to say this is a horrible hospital I would not even bring my dog here I came in with an on going issue with my neck which the mri from another hospital shows that my hardware in my neck from a cervical fusion was done 2 years ago where its located at my spine had softened and is collapsing and I need stabilization surgery well I came in there with worsening symptoms and they immediately called in a stroke team the doctor was not listening to me at all they stabbed my finger so hard to get a glucose level that I bled all over the place and was left with a pretty badly bruised finger they had to stick me again cause the nurse or who ever couldn't get the meter to work then they canceled the stroke cause I wasn't having a stroke like I told them after the second attempt with an Iv they put me in a room with other people not a problem but what I do have a problem with is i told them I wanted the Iv out and wanted to go home the nurse can he was really rude yanked my iv out forceably and it started bleeding everywhere all over the floor and I made the statement that y'all are letting me bleed all over the place again he slapped me with the gauge and wrapped my arm up with blood all over it and stated you will be fine they are ignorant and rude and should not be in that job field if they are going to treat patients like that the doctor did not care or listen to what I had to say and when I reached my breaking point they bruised me up and sent me on my way needless to say stay away from this hospital if you are sick or a loved one needs help go somewhere else honestly when the nurse yanked that Iv out they way he did he is lucky I controlled my self cause what I wanted to do to him would've landed me in a whole lot of trouble read more

As with my original review, even though some staff are excellent, the stunning incompetence of some staff is so egregious that I can't justify more than one star. I brought a loved one (T.) to the ER for extreme pain from old neck and back injuries, and sudden paralysis (extremely limited ability to move all limbs). The staff MANHANDLED her from the wheelchair onto the bed, FACE FIRST, all the while barking at her ("You need to move! You need to help us!") while T. was crying and screaming in pain and trying to explain that she was TRYING but she f***ing COULDN'T move. The staffer also kept sighing annoyingly and complained that T. was too heavy (174 lbs, I saw multiple staffers there that are a good 100 pounds heavier). T. begged them to let me in the room to help, and one staffer wanted to do it, but the mean staffer refused. When you go to a hospital you expect staff to help you, not injure, hurt, and yell at you. Oh, and about item #7 in my other review, after my bad experience with the PT staffer, they came and put the sticker on the room door indicating that the family member was "abusive". Right. St. David's staff should try looking in the mirror sometime. read more

I got the tee/ cardioversion done last week. The nurses were nice but 5 times to get my IV. 2 doses of Annesthesia instead of 1 because the 1st dose didn't go to my vein so I didn't go to sleep. read more

I was admitted to the emergency room after blacking out three times on September 21, 2023. After numerous imaging and diagnostic tests it was determined that I needed a surgical procedure for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD image included) which controls the heart rhythm which was performed on September 28th. During the entire time of my stay, I was treated with the utmost care and respect by everyone, including housekeeping, food service, nursing, imaging, nursing, and, of course, the medical staff--all of whom were top-notch in their fields. I might also add that the food service, which is also "menu-based" is also quite palatable. It's not what you'd expect at a restaurant, but I'd consider some of it quite good to excellent. I realize that there is a shortage of staffing, especially among nursing staff, but at no time did I experience any delay in care. Also, this was the third time I have had major surgery at St. David's Medical Center, and the previous two occasions went just as smoothly. Additionally, I need to return there for cervical spine neurosurgery within the next month or so, and I am confident that I will be in good hands. Last, but not least, follow-up has been exceptional, both from the hospital and the practitioners. read more
