St Alphonsus Regional Medical Center

Best hospital and staff I have ever seen. I had surgery here and my stay was 4 nights. From pre-OP area to staff caring for me in my room was top notch. Every staff member I came across was caring, friendly and kind and very competent. Food selections and food was superb. Very healthy and nutritious options. Lots of fresh fruit options and grilled foods like salmon, halibut and chicken.

Had a surgery done here. The pre-admission nurse wasn't warm or friendly the way you'd hope a nurse should be. The surgery went smoothly, and the surgeon was great but the nurses were something else. I woke up from surgery to two young nurses staring at me. One told me I sleep weird, and they both chuckled. I asked, "How so?" and she said, "It's nothing." I was embarrassed and had no idea what to be embarrassed about. They both reeked of cigarettes. I was relieved it was an outpatient procedure and I wouldn't have to deal with them long term. I've always gone to St Luke's in the past, and they always have the best nurses there.

My fiancé was in the emergency room with lots of pain. The bed side hospitality was there until they started taking things off or replacing bandages. It was violent and by the look on her face/the sounds she made it was painful. She has a bruise on her arm from them poking her with a needle 3 times before switching arms just to get an IV. We waited almost an hour before someone walked in to tell us we were good to leave. If it wasn’t the closest hospital to us I would refuse to go here.

Recently met my new oncologist at ST ALS Boise. Pleased with the friendly employees, the flow of the office, and not feeling rushed during my exam. I was surprised with a phone call informing me of my next one year recare appointment. This office is on it. Impressed!!!

Took a friend in today into the emergency room. There was young crowd of 8 of 16-19year olds out side in the parking lot. I tried to let the staff know that there was a problem. I needed to leave very disappointed in some of the staff and especially the security I didn't feel safe. Doctor and some staff were kind and professional. But there has to be a better way to identy a person. Upset and emotional that I can't be with my friend. Car is damage with scratch's but all I can think about is my friend.
