Patient Reviews
Mar 21, 2024
Dr. Christein accepted me from DCH as a transfer patient. He was sympathetic and professional. His nurse was the same to both my husband and I. I was a very sick person and the staff I cannot commend them enough. I too am a military vet and civilian health professional and the staff was everything I look for from dietary and maintenance to the nurse assistants every shift. Thank you Dr. Christein! Now for the bad I had a nurse and one of his residents my husband and I felt was pushing me out telling me there is more bacteria there than at my home, never asked about the state of my home that we were renovating. My home had everything from black mold to termites to mice and mildew. I had an open wound with a wound vac. Actually the hospital was a safer pathologically and infection control place to be. If they only had of asked, not even the social workers who leave little to be desired. Grandview was lucky. That being said I would return without hesitation if needed.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. John Christein, MD.
