Patients, do not be fooled by all the positive reviews here or the kind doctor you had on your last visit. I am a women anesthesiologist who has worked there a number of years (probably too many). For one thing, the doctor you saw is being paid an extraordinaty amount of money, of course they will smile to see you. In customer care, they get an A+, it's true. However, take a step into the Doctor's Lounge, and a different story emerges. Dr. Martin Serrins, Head of DOPS Anesthesia, discriminates against women doctors, and against those who he thinks weak and should do more work. I am a hardworking mother of 2. I almost lost my job to this man, and would have as a result, lost all my life's work. My life goal is to see my 2 beautiful children grow up to be great, educated, and healthy, just like any other mother out there. I simply can not stand to see a high-ranking department head, demean women and pay them less per month than their male counterparts. Next time your paying for your healthcare, think of the woman nurse or anesthesiologist who worked so hard to make your experience as smooth as possible, and realize, that that nurse or anesthesiologist may not see a penny of what you pay. I speak for all mothers and parents out there. How is it that even in today's society, we allow men to throw us around like their spare change, and that we support a business that does nothing to stop such appalling behavior. This is a moral injustice. I urge all readers to think seriously about this review, I am an anesthesiologist at Danbury. I ease you to sleep so you don't feel the pains of your operation. I take good tender loving care of every patient as if he or she was my own child, and I work hard no matter what injustices I know I'll face behind the scenes. I urge all readers to speak out against these ethical crimes, take action, and tell somebody important. I have filed civil rights complaints, I've posted stories in newspapers, I've done my civil duty. Now it's time to do yours.

Having been a patient at both the emergency room and the outpatient center, I feel qualified to comment here. I would rate the ER as top-notch.(except for the long wait.) The staff were caring and cut to the chase, no unnecessary stuff, no patronizing--a truly "cut to the chase" attitude. The outpatient center was another matter. Fully five or six people asked the same stupid (and irrelevant)questions again and again, including questions about personal habits that seem to have no logical connection to the procedure to be done. The anestheiologist was particularly egregious. My hand still hurts from the needle placed there. In sum, ER ACES--Outpatient- No way.

I am so impressed with Danbury Hospital- well my experience of it is in the Duracell Ambulatory Surgery Unit...My daughter was having day surgery and I was expecting a out of date usual awful experience that I have received at Norwalk ER or Stamford but was sooooo surprised- They were so on time and yes there were times when we had to wait but that was to be expected- However the experience was one of kindness all around. I was allowed to be with my daughter until she was wheeled into the OR. The nurse saw me laying on a couch in one of several waiting areas and brought me pillows- a warm blanket which she wrapped me in and came back with tea after asking me if I'd like it and how. I slept for the hour and the warmth from the blanket was so comforting- The nurses name is Faith and she was so lovely. Also the othe rnurses who took care of my daughter Barbra and all were smiling and warm....Norwalk hospital please take note-

I MAY BE CONSIDERED BIASED SINCE MY HUSBAND HAS WORKED HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS BUT AS A PATIENT I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH DANBURY HOSPITAL. I DELIVERED 2 CHILDREN HERE BY EMERGENCY C-SECTION AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY THE STAFF AND SYSTEM IN PLACE. NOT ONLY WAS THERE A NURSE AVAILABLE 24/7 WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON BUT THEY REGULARLY CHECKED ON ME WITHOUT MY ASKING. LIVING IN THIS AREA MY ENTIRE LIFE I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THIS HOSPITAL GROW AND AM VERY COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT IF ANYONE IN MY FAMILY NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION THEY WOULD RECEIVE EXCELLENT CARE HERE. THEY EVEN HAVE A NEW CANCER CENTER.

My husband was in severe pain and we rushed to Danbury Hospital's emergency room. They were great. They got him comfortable and relaxed him and helped him through his pain of kidney stones! The attendants took him right in and let me do the paperwork. I have been in other emergency rooms and they make you wait until they are sure you have medical coverage. The doctor in charge recommended a good colleague for a follow-up visit and we are very happy with the outcome.

I had my baby at this hospital. The care was fantastic. The nurses took good care of me and they were available 24 hrs in a day at the ring of a bell. The hospital room was spacious and well equipped. The birthing room even has a jacuzzi to help moms relax.
