"I would like to take the time to commend the emergency room staff for the warm and most comfortable hospitality my family and I recieved. From the beginning of being registered in unto the very end of being discharged the entire staff was warm, personalble and friendly. This is the type of service and treatment that is needed at all times, especially when coming in with an ill loved one. Thank you so much for your concern and commitment that each of you have shown for the lives, health and well being of those that need your services. Please keep up the good work. It is truly appreciated. "

"I came to your ER by ambulance with a friend who was sick on April 27. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped us. The staff at Busch Stadium suggested that you would be able to get my friend cared for and either get us back on the road home or at least into a stable situation for the night in good time. Your ER staff did that. We were 4.5 hours from home and when you discharged my friend, I was confident that we'd make it without any trauma.

This was a big weekend for us...a weekend at the ballpark and relaxing away from our work. My friend's illness could have really been devastating, but it wasn't. The ballpark would have been better than my driving tour of the city (from the front seat of the ambulance and then the back seat of the taxi) and my quiet "sitting room" in the ER, but Ialways knew someone was working on an answer and then a response. I am very grateful for all that your staff did, including calling a good taxito get us back across town. Thank you! "

"Just wanted to let you know (my mom) felt like a princess, being spoiled rotten while in your care.  She gets sprung today sometime and she looks great.  She has a bandage on her knee, but no real swelling or bruising (yet).  To look at her, you would never know that she had just had her knee replaced, I find that amazing! You have a great hospital! "

 "Kristen was my (patient care) tech while I was recovering from surgery. She has a wonderful personality and sense of humor and took great care of me.  She made my stay at Des Peres Hospital a very pleasant one.  The world needs more nurses like her!"

"I want to thank you for your attention and concern during my stay at Des Peres Hospital.  I can honestly say that on a scale from 1-10, the staff (from surgeons ,RNs, techs, PTs, OTs, food service, admitting, etc.), facility, and overall experience was a 9.  I operate on the belief that no one is perfect so a rating of 9 (possibly 9+) is something to be quite proud of.  

My surgeon was brilliant yet comforting.  The Anesthesiologist was reassuring.  Instead of what could have been a traumatizing experience, the surgery staff made me feel like this was the best decision I could have made for myself and that I didn't have a care in the world.   Post-op......I felt like a celebrity, royalty, and a child rolled into one. 

Every person who I interacted with on ANY level of care, acted with the utmost professionalism, compassion, and spirit unlike any other health care facility I've seen.  I need to express how impressed I am with the fine group of individuals I was blessed with meeting. They didn't miss a beat. They made me laugh, smile, and honestly feel cared for. "
