James P Wilmot Cancer Center At Strong

I’m currently a patient at Wilmot for the second time in my life. I figure I owe them 5 stars because they’ve already saved my life once, but also because they’re doing a swimmingly wonderful job of doing it again.
I’m not necessarily an «old» man, but I am old enough to have been to different hospitals in our area for different reasons through my life. Strong, in general, has been heads over heels better than other hospitals when I’ve been in for whatever various ailment. I find that that staff at Strong generally enjoys their jobs, and it really reflects in interactions with their patients. If I could give you an example that best showcases a difference in service between Strong and other hospitals, it’d be a story from appx 15 – 20 years ago. I went to Genesee’s emergency room for a burn that had become infected. I had a welt on my hand and red streaks running up my arm. They immediately brought me back into a room in the ER, then promptly forgot about me. Am I exaggerating? No… I dozed off and woke up appx 8 hours lately with an ER worker standing over me asking what I was doing there. I was like, uh, don’t you know?!? And he said no. After follies like this in the area, I finally picked Strong as my hospital/​provider of choice.
Swinging back around to the staff… Being a cancer patient, you’d think the staff might be somewhat grim because they’re used to people dying on them. It’s cancer, it happens and it sucks. But starting at reception, and going through to the nurses and doctors, everyone always has a smile a for you! It’s the little things that make a patient feel appreciated, and the staff at Strong and Wilmot get that! As a special shot out, my occasional nurse Christy is a real gem of a find. She somehow has the magical ability to give you an IV without you actually feeling the needle going into your skin/​vein. No offense intended towards my current nurse Joannie, she’s a sweetheart with an amazing personality also, but I can feel her IVs lol. ;)
EDIT: I can’t believe I forgot to mention this the first time. The patient menu at Strong? Out of this world. Again, it’s the little things, and Strong gets that. It’s not like the old days of hospital food where your dinner is turkey slices with awful mashed potatoes and canned peas and you’ll eat it at 6pm, or you won’t eat dinner at all. It’s a full menu! I hope Unilocal allows links in their reviews, because here’s the link if you’d like to be amazed at what hospital food currently is:
