The George Washington University Hospital (GW Hospital) is a tertiary care, academic medical center located in downtown Washington, DC. Featuring a Level I Trauma Center and a Level III NICU, GW Hospital offers clinical expertise in a variety of areas including cardiac, cancer, neurosciences, women's health, and advanced surgery including robotic and minimally invasive surgery. Overall, the reviews of GW Hospital are positive, with patients praising the competent and friendly staff, the clean and organized facility, and the appropriate concern for patient safety. However, some patients experienced delays in receiving care, with one patient waiting four hours before their scheduled surgery. While the initial nurse was attentive, the patient was later relocated to an area where no nurse introduced themselves, and the patient had to ask for assistance without receiving updates on the delays. The midwifery program at GW Hospital received high praise, with patients expressing their love for the midwives and the excellent care they received. However, some patients noted that the number of midwives on staff has decreased, resulting in a lower chance of a midwife being present during labor. One patient was grateful that a midwife was able to provide valuable guidance and support during their unmedicated birth. Patients also commended the exceptional care and coordination provided by the medical staff, including the nurses, resident doctors, and anesthesiologists. They expressed gratitude for the professionalism, attentiveness, and compassion shown throughout their entire medical experience.
