My surgeon, the nurses and the nutritionist are all very nice, knowledgeable, caring, and have always had the answers to all my questions regarding my procedure.

I think all the care was exceptional. I have never received that kind of care in a general hospital. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. The front desk clerk was very friendly. The nurses were nice and helpful after surgery and seemed like they really cared. All of the doctors explained everything completely.

I know I got the best care in the world:  the best doctor, the best nursing, and the best follow-up care.  Given my experience I would not go anywhere else.  That’s the full truth of the matter.  “Dr Pop” (Poplawski) was the best!  He is so experienced and thorough from start to finish.  The nurses were so great. You were not just a patient or a number; you were important to each and every one of them.  To this day I still am in contact with one of my nurses. I keep her updated on my progress.  Helen, you’re the best!  I took photos of my team during my stay. I look back on the photos so grateful for the care I received. Thank you so much!

The whole staff was compassionated, caring, knowledgeable, and most of all supportive. My surgeon was awesome. He has the best bedside manor I have ever experienced in past dealings with physicians. He explained everything, answered all my questions and never made me feel like he was in hurry. I asked the staff I met if they liked working at Forest Health Medical Center. From the front desk clerk to the janitor, they all smiled and the said they loved working there. I knew then I was in the right place for sure.

All the nurses were very attentive, from the prep nurses to the nurses on the floor. The thing I remember most was the hugs from these nurses when I left the hospital. They were absolutely wonderful--some of the most genuinely caring and compassionate people I've ever met. And what can I say about Dr. Taylor, he's the best. He answered any question (no matter how stupid it seemed) and kept reassuring me that everything would turn out great. And guess what? It did!

Forest Health Medical Center has been spectacular! From the initial meeting where I met my surgeon to my surgery and follow up care, the professionalism has been exemplary. Every nurse and staff member was kind and knowledgeable...they made me feel cared for every step of this journey.

Dr. Poplawski and the staff at Forest Health Medical Center took very good care of me. Aster in pre-op soon became my favorite but all were special in their own ways. The hospital stay was a great experience.

Dr Poplawski is a highly skilled and talented surgeon who seems to really care about the health and welfare of his patients. The hospital staff members are a great team.

My surgeon took the time to be very informative and answer all the questions that we had. There was no stone left unturned. The day of surgery came and I was nervous. However, everyone on staff put me at ease. Their dispositions and smiles made me comfortable, and when my surgeon came in and prayed with me right before the surgery, I knew I was going to be OK! The staff took great care of me, and allowed my visitors lots of access to me—they were tremendous.

The staff at Forest Health Medical Center was absolutely wonderful from the time I walked in the front door to start the process to the time I left. I was given the utmost respect and was made to feel welcomed. The nursing staff was very caring and attentive.

Everyone needing specialty surgery knows how important it is to select the right surgeon. Not only is surgical skill critical, but having a surgeon and surgical team with a great deal of experience because they do large numbers of the surgery you need is also essential to obtaining the best outcome. There is an old saying that goes, ”If you are having surgery it is a minor case, but if I am having surgery it is a major case.” At FHMC we understand that every case should be treated as a major case. You deserve not only the best surgeon, but also a surgeon you have had a chance to spend the time needed to have all of your questions answered so you are comfortable and confident about your decision.

The physician owners of FHMC have control over the selection and recruitment of the staff who will be members of their surgical team. While it is true that the surgeon is the team leader, every great surgeon knows that they need a great support team to deliver the best surgical outcomes and the best care. Our nurses, therapists, medical assistants, and technicians have joined the FHMC family because they want to work with each specialist and be an important part of delivering outstanding service to you as their patient. These staff members are selected not only for their skill and commitment to their specialty but also because of their desire to provide you the personal care you need and desire. As a specialty hospital, each staff member has a specialty they are trained to care for and therefore this staff has a higher level of skill to care for you than would be typically available in a general hospital or even a university hospital because their staff is required to support many different programs. In addition, to a higher skill level, our hospitals have higher nurse to patient ratios which means they have more time to care for you. The majority of your care is provided by a nurse instead of lower skilled aid. With the best staffing programs our patients can immediately see and feel the difference in their care.
