Patient Comments

May 2013

I cannot express the level of care and compassion that I received from your center.  The level of knowledge and communication is surpassed by none.  The level of compassion and understand was superior.  They all took time to make me understand what happened to me and explained it as well to my wife.  I am moving to the area and I have NO concerns about the level of care I will receive in the future.  I must share that the overall care was beyond what I could have expected.  Jessie was so attentive and always asked what I needed before I was even ready.  She made my stay easier than you can know.  She made our stay as pleased as one could have expected. All of the doctors, nurses, staff including room service has a higher standard of excellence than any other hospital I have ever experienced!

This is the most professional and human nursing and assist staff I have ever encountered.  I cannot imagine a finer group of people to be taken care of at a time that seems to be some of the worst times of our lives.  Thank you girls! 

None of us want to be in a hospital but the nurses, aides and other supporting staff was very pleasant, friendly, supportive and helpful.  I was very thankful for their help.  The people that I dealt with were "top of the line."  The food and food service was very good and very accommodating.

The staff was excellent, they helped me every time I needed them.  The nurses were awesome and the doctors were great.  They do their job well and I am 1,000% satisfied.  I was in good hands with them all.

Food service is excellent!  Nurses were friendly, courteous and gave immediate attention.  Everyone and everything was neat and clean.  We would recommend this hospital and staff!

Everyone was totally awesome!  Thank you to all my nurses, aides and doctors who had the patience to put up with me.  Thank you!  I owe you my life!

My father had a heart attack Monday and was admitted to the DeBakey Heart Institute @ HMC.
I lived in Hays until 1997, but now live in Topeka.  After hearing of my dad's condition I headed to Hays. My children were actually born at the old St. Anthony's hospital. (now HMC), but I'd not been in the facility for probably twenty years.

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how impressed I was with the hospital, and especially the heart institute. That is one, top –notch facility!   ………and the staff there, caring for my father, was superb to match. What a wonderful thing it is for Hays to have such a fine hospital.   I cannot say enough about how well we were treated. Dr. Markiewicz did the procedure and Dr. Davis was the attending physician.   Both were fabulous, but Dr. Davis was so gentle and caring toward my dad.   That meant a lot to all of us.
Our nurses were all wonderful, especially Lacy on the first evening.

Many, many kudos to ALL.

April 2013

I have been here before and everybody was exceptional.  The nurses and doctors are fantastic.  Excellent care, great personalities, excellent food and service.

Been here with my father for over a week.  Excellent medical staff, especially Dr. Bed and Dr. Brenda.  Great nursing staff, feel like they are part of our family.  Ginny, Melody, Malorie, and Sarah are the greatest.  It takes special people to provide this type of service day and night with challenging patients and still show compassion and caring.  These people are an invaluable asset to your hospital.  Please convey our thanks to them.

Day shift was very attentive to my discharge needs.  Absolutely love the new cafeteria menu.  Being able to choose foods and when I called they were very friendly and professional.  Overall, thank you for treated me as family and a human being.

March 2013

We always choose to come to your medical center because you have caring and helpful workers.  We always have good comments on your facility and nurses and doctors.

My stay at the Hays Medical Center has been the best, exceptional in all departments. Dr. Auberreish kept me informed, he always had time to discuss all my medical needs.  Nurses were very professional and I will continue to recommend HMC to all my friends.  It's definitely the place to go for all your medical needs.

Laci, Shannon, Allison and Barb are the people that I remember names.  I received the best care – everyone I have encountered was great.  I have dealt with other hospitals nurses and doctors and this by far was a wonderful experience and the utmost professional and best care.  I would highly recommend the hospital to everyone.  Thank you for taking such good care of me.

February 2013

My mother has been in the hospital for the last three days and I have been here with her.  The staff was extremely professional, helpful and very accommodating.  I applaud each and every one of you.  Jana was outstanding.  Thank you so much.

All of our nurses were great!  Our needs were promptly met and everyone anticipated what we needed.  We were very happy with our stay and this region of the state is very fortunate to have such an advanced facility to come to.

The nurses and staff have been amazing from the very beginning.  They have been very attentive toward mine and my sons needs.  Even towards my husbands needs!  I hate being in the hospital but this is the most comfortable stay I have ever experienced.  Thank you so much!  You guys are amazing!  Keep up the great work!"
