Hubby and I can't say enough good things about Waterman. Dan had a knee operation and the nursing staff was OUTSTANDING, even threw him a birthday party with cake and all! Every employee in that hospital will acknowledge you when you walk by in the halls or cafeteria. I talked to several people and they say it comes from the top down, as I guess they have a great CEO. Also, Dr. Radnothy is the Chief of Staff and is VERY personal and attentive. I've had a stay at The Villages hospital for an appendectomy and after waiting 8 hrs in the ER and another 10 hrs to be operated on.....well let's just say I wasn't very impressed. Dan was in Ocala Regional Trauma center for 13 days after an accident and the physical hospital itself was about a notch above a ghetto hospital. Blinds falling off walls, chairs broken, minimal nursing staff. At one point there was only one elevator working, and it also had to take patients up and down to surgery. You either had to wait about 45 mins or take the stairs.I will have to say though that the Trauma Dr.s were great.
