If I could give Gifford Medical Center and their team of caregivers 10 stars I would. The levels of authentic care, communication, attention to detail, patient advocacy and more were beyond exceptional for my mother as she navigated a new diagnosis over the past couple of months. We brought her to their ER last month for one condition, and she was admitted and in a bed within 2 hours for another major finding -- which required an immediate major surgery (done onsite by a tremendously skilled and WARM, CARING surgeon), a 6-day stay, and now follow-up detail. Also of note: the cafeteria offerings are not your "garden variety" hospital food either - kudos to the chefs - and love the puzzles!! Gifford's primary care and mental health services are also excellent, based on other family experiences. Congrats to a tiny rural hospital for getting it so right - I'll take all of the above over a pristine, curated, over-designed and more "updated" health care facility any day; rather see the $ go to hiring amazing caregivers and staff. THANK YOU to the entire team for taking such good care of my people.

The decor is depressing. Put local ART on the walls. Feature Vermont artists. Use a little imagination. Get in touch with the local art gallery and see what you can do to make your hospital more inviting. My only visit here has been like stepping back in time.

My provider at Gifford is unable to make an appropriate referral. I was even more exasperated after speaking with her on the phone expressing my concern that the referral was incorrect. She assured me it was correct. She was wrong,40 minutes on the phone until I straightened it out. Now I saw her for a 20 minute appointment. Should my insurance company be paying for a service that was inappropriately rendered? If I take my car to a mechanic and it’s not fixed, I don’t pay them until it’s fixed. I would also like to add, I would consider making a referral one of A healthcare providers more simpler tasks.

I've had several procedures at Gifford and every nurse, doctor, specialist and other employees I've been treated by in every department have all been so friendly, warm, and thorough. They make you feel like they truly care about you as a person, not just a patient. This kindness goes a long way into ensuring positive medical outcomes. I live over an hour away and I use Gifford for almost all my medical care despite there being two hospitals closer to me. I never feel rushed or disrespected like I have at other facilities. This hospital deserves five stars across the board in every regard.

So I had surgery a couple days ago, my past experiences with all the nurses that have taken care of me in several different hospitals, they were all great. But the nurse that took care of me at Gifford medical center was AWESOME, she made me feel comfortable and just had a pleasant way about her. She needs to be outstanding nurse of the month. Her name was Kelliann.
