Obstetrics

“The admission’s clerk checked us in and did a wonderful job and was very friendly. When calling in our meals, the people were so friendly to work with and went the extra mile multiple times to meet our desires. Way to go! Our nurses all did a wonderful job! We were so blessed by them. The delivery nurse was so caring and did a wonderful job. The doctor did a fantastic job! It’s so wonderful to see a physician care for you not only as a patient but as a fellow brother and sister in Christ. Our discharge nurse did a wonderful job too! It was great to see what a great teaching hospital OCAHS is. My sister was in on delivery due to the fact that she wants to go into the medical field. It was wonderful how the nurses, doctors, and anesthetist all took the time to explain things to her. Thank you for that!”

Emergency

“Friendly staff – answered all our questions. We were very pleased with personal touch.”

“Everyone was very helpful, friendly and thorough. The anesthesiologist is very friendly and good at his job. He made sure I was completely comfortable in the surgery room.”

“All staff were very courteous, professional and put me at ease. Thank you!”

“Everyone from the time I walked in the door at registration until the time I left, I felt the concern for my concern for my health and well-being and the encouragement that I get answers to my medical issues. My family member felt welcome and wasn’t ignored – that put me more at ease during my procedure. That means as much to a patient as does the patient being treated well!”

“A smile from the person at the info desk – and friendly staff from that time on – when I was released I was walked to the door by a smiling RN – reminding – to call hospital if I had any other questions. Staff – knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Hospital – clean, large rooms, restrooms for non-patients spotless, smell fresh. Good food – tastes like homemade.”

Clinic

“This provider was fabulous with our daughter, who is 8 and was in for an ear infection. She explained everything to both of us in a manner that we both understood, and I felt very confident in her care! She answered all of my questions and was extremely helpful! Will definitely visit her again!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of this provider and all I come in contact with at OCAHS. It is an absolute joy to consider them my primary care provider.”

Misc.

“The ad slogan of “Can I have it here?” was quite meaningful as I experienced a surgical procedure “close to home.” As a hospital employee, I was able to experience the excellent care of my surgery co-workers and also that of the med-surg nursing staff. I and my family were treated with dignity and respect and definitely felt “cared for” by the professional and very well-qualified staff. What a blessing to return only blocks away for follow-up appointments and on-going treatment from an excellent physical therapy group as well. Thanks to all of you!”
