I would like your input on Lee's Summit Hospital- I'm having a total knee replacement and need to know if you have any info on this hospital. Thanks..

I've had some outpatient surgery there and a friend recently completed a two week hospitalization so I was there quite often in April. From those two experiences I believe they are a very good facility with excellent staffing. Being a brand new hospital (replaced their twenty-five year old facility) they have all new equipment and state of the art rooms. I was impressed with the quality of the doctors and nurses.
Hope that helps! You should do fine!

I would be worried more about the orthopedic surgeon than the hospital. Seriously. You want a surgeon who gives you all the information and leaves the decision making up to you .Also, find out their infection rate for joint replacements. An infected joint replacement is a disaster that requires at least 2 more operations spread out over 6 weeks.
