Default West marion is great

My wife and I have both had inpatient and outpatient surgeries and tests at West Marion and love the staff and facility. Easy to get to and usually only 20 - 30 minutes away, from here in the north side of TVs. Where we came from, in central Maryland, it was 20 - 60 minutes to hospitals, so going to W. Marion is nothing.
We had very bad experiences at both Villages and Leesburg hospitals, the latter, father-in-law died following a successful shoulder replacement. Hospital staff allowed him to eat a meal immediately following surgery, before he was out from anesthesia. He didn't even know where he was yet, due to the drugs. He vomited, inhaled and dead 2 hours later.
We've got medical cards in our wallets, car and on the refrigerator instructing that if requiring hospitalization, we should be transported to West Marion. Our experience: 4.5 stars
