"This was my first experience with being inpatient at St. Mary's Hospital. Typically, I am a Spectrum Health kind of girl, so this was all brand new territory for me. And honestly, it was the best hospital stay I have ever had. My room was comfortable and the nursing staff was exceptional! Jen and Mollie were the two nurses that I remember most and they were very attentive to my needs in regards to pain relief, nausea relief and hydration needs. They had me up and walking every 4 hours after surgery, they were kind and motivating to get me up and on my feet (even when I didn't want to!). I loved the fact that my room was large and private, my Husband, Mother and both of my young children were comfortable.
My one and ONLY complaint was that they had a habit of leaving my door open. Typically, this isn't an issue, however when you are exhausted and want to sleep the light and noise from the hall and be annoying. But after I was up a few times and started to just crack my door, they followed suit and would ask if I wanted my door shut.
Honestly, I would HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone who needs bariatric surgery.

"Let me just start off by saying that Dr. Paul Kemmeter is one of the kindest, most compassionate and caring physician that I have ever encountered. Typically, when meeting physicians I can be a little more on the reserved side, because of my previous experiences with being belittled by them. However, Dr. Kemmeter is warm and receptive and very engaging. He talked TO me, not AT me. I feel honored to be able to call myself his patient. I have nothing but things to say about Dr. Kemmeter and his office staff. Nettie his surgery coordinator answered a lot of my questions and took every one of my phone calls. All of the PA’s are caring and seem genuinely concerned for my welfare and health. The NUTS are very informative and give great advice. Grand Health Partners as a whole is a “well oiled machine” they know what they are doing; they treat each patient with dignity and are always there for me if I have any questions or concerns. Amazing surgeon, amazing staff!"
