MidMichigan Medical Center - Gratiot

I had surgery here yesterday (2-26-21) and I'm currently still in here (2-27-21). Not only are the nursing staff kind and understanding, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are both as heard and as comfortable as humanly possible. No one makes me feel like I am bothering them, or wasting their time and they always have come in (called in by me or check in on their own) showing genuine concern for your needs and well being.nnThe Doctors that did my surgery are so very amazing also. Of course normally, seeing them in their offices is so different than when you see them in the hospital before surgery. However, this is not my experience with my Doctors for this surgery. Dr. Jeffrey Smith and Dr. Ernest Cudjoe (assisted) were so very caring and genuinely concerned. This is the same experience I get with my office visits. Not only did Dr. Smith come to see me before surgery, he was there with his staff before they knocked me out, called my parents after surgery to keep them informed, and then came up to my room to see how I was after his long day of surgery was over! I can not speak more highly of this hospital or the staff (blood draw to nurse) and of course my Doctors. Great lakes surgical associates is the best group I have ever had the pleasure of using and I would do it all over again with them in a second.

Had to bring loved one in for suicidal thoughts and actions. We were forcibly told 1 person from our family would have to do suicide watch not staff (as it should be!) The staff was disorganized and could not explain what was happening! I tried to get Clarification and the nurse called the hospital director or supervisor instead of answering “Can we be in the waiting room or does one person have to physically be in the room with her” It was an older woman Who was absolutely horrible!!! She told me we were not allowed to leave the hospital at all that somebody had to be physically in the room with my daughter 24 seven for an indeterminate amount of time till they could get her into a facility! I explained I am the only person in my family who can drive my husband has a medical issue And that I have a son I had to get to and from school!! She then asked “what are you gonna do Take her home and leave her all by herself”??? I said she is a flight risk she’ll leave if I’m there or not! Then she went and demanded one by one each of my family members that they stay! Finally one of the nurses stuck up for me and said this can’t work she has a son to get home to!! Then she scolded me when you come back you will wear an actual maskneven though I had a bandanna doubled up tight to my face nose covered!!! We were finally allowed to get out for an hour to get my son and some food after being there all day. Even though legally one of the staff should have been watching her as she is suicidal!!!

I have had to take my daughter to emergency several times over the last few years. They are quick to get us back to a room and give us the best of care. I highly recommend this hospital!

Now that they have deemed anti convulsant medicine as a pain pill. Well guess I will just have to live with it and keep injuring myself.

I’ve read all these reviews and I’m frankly quite surprised to see so many negative reviews. I have had nothing but outstanding experiences with this hospital and the people in it. My daughter has had two children there, both of which were wonderful experiences. My grandfather was treated there many times and was always happy with the care he received. Both of my parents have had ER visits and were very well cared for. I’ve been to the ER, more times than I care to admit, and every time I was treated quickly with great care by amazing people. And most importantly, the saved my daughter’s and unborn grandson’s life in the ER. I highly recommend this hospital staffed with wonderful and caring local professionals.
