I can’t speak for the ER but I had surgery about two weeks ago at Hilo Medical Center.
It included nuclear medicine, radiology and some pretty major surgery.
The administration, nuclear department, pre op, operating room and post op were all above my expectations. I was treated better then when I was in the big city.
No infections, MRSA or Staph. My surgery was successful and I have nothing but nice things to say about the staff and facility.
My Surgeon was the best, Dr. Joshua Pierce from Hilo Surgical Associates. Undergrad at Cornell, Medical at Yale and internship at The University of Pennsylvania. His wife is an Oceanographer at UHH so he ended up in Hilo instead of midtown Manhattan. We are very lucky to have him here!
Not that I want to go back anytime soon but I would have no problem using this facility and its staff again.
