I absolutely love working at Baptist! Not only am I an employee here, but long before I was an employee, I had outpatient surgery here! It was an effortless experience, and I felt at ease with the nurses and doctors I had. I plan to stay with Baptist a long time. Not to mention, the bistro food is amazing and is open until 2AM for night-shifters (me!) Everyone is so kind and helpful. Come work at Baptist!

Was scheduled to have my pacemaker replaced at 1:45 pm. Haven't eaten or drank anything since 10pm the prior night. It's not 3:36 and still I'm waiting to get finished with my procedure. I really hope this E.P. is good with doing this. Taking so long to get mine done. I'm dying for something to drink and eat. Plus freezing in this robe waiting for surgery.

Im torn as to how to rate this hospital. The care I received here was excellent, including everyone from registration to surgeon to nurses. Thats incredibly important. However, I was shocked by how disgusting this facility is. Ive never been a patient in a hospital room so dirty, decrepit, and old. The entire floor I was on smells like urine and that old building smell. There are broken machines and beds lining the hallways, sometimes to the point where I had trouble navigating around them to do my prescribed walking after surgery. My room was full of chipped paint, torn and broken furniture
