TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- My procedure occurred exactly on time. The registration was quick and easy. I had a very short wait of about 5 minutes before my nurse came to get me to bring me to the prep room. Doctors and nurses came to see me to talk about the procedure. Everyone was so friendly and took time to explain things and get me ready. I was wheeled into the OR exactly at the scheduled time. An amazing feat considering all the complexities of any kind of procedure. I was treated like a human being, with respect and friendliness.
- I recently had a surgical procedure at GWU Hospital and the whole experience was great. Check-in was easy. All of the check-in staff from the initial greeters to the ones collecting the insurance info were professional, helpful and kind so the process was quick and seamless. The surgical nursing team that cared for me is incredible. Asish (spelling) and the team that prepped me for the procedure were kind, professional and caring. Molly and the recovery team also knocked it out of the park. Five star experience from start to finish. Thank you for taking such good care of me! Much appreciated.
- Very positive staff, never any problems with my doctors or desk staff. Been at GW since age 16 and now 71 and been satisfied with the service, each operation and boy have I had plenty. My hospitalizations were great. Everyone with great bedside manners. I lost a lot of doctors I got so attached to along the way but life goods on and never had any bad replacement doctors; I love them all and the hospital itself.
