We had our baby here three weeks ago and were extremely pleased with the care we received overall. The nursing staff was incredible and made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm, supportive, and well-handled. Makayla, in particular, was absolutely outstanding. She was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and cared for. We truly can’t thank her enough — she made a huge difference in our experience and is someone this hospital is very lucky to have. The only downside we encountered was with one anesthesiologist, Tina, who unfortunately had a poor attitude and made that part of the process less pleasant than it needed to be. That said, everyone else we interacted with was fantastic. Overall, we’re very grateful for the care we received and would absolutely recommend Fort Sanders, especially because of amazing staff members like Makayla.

Mother in law finally got transferred here after 13 days in Blount Memorial. The nurses were very friendly and showed so much care. They made sure to stay professional even in her last days. We were so grateful to have them when we said goodbye to her. They truly did everything they could and always kept us updated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for treating our loved one with such care and compassion. So many wonderful nurses were there during her stay but Reagan was her nurse the last day and was so supportive. Thank you Reagan for answering all of our questions and being there for us at that vulnerable time.

Laurie and Keeley were amazing and made the process easy. Some people have trouble with my veins but they listen and made the process painless. I was there for my glucose testing so they had to stick me three times. Both women were friendly and remembered names checking in which is nice. Thanks guys!

My husband had surgery and spent one night. Everyone we met there had a smile and encouraging words. His surgical team was great, and the staff members on third floor were all exceptional. A big shout-out to Andrea, our daytime nurse, and her tech Cassi. We have had overnights in two other hospitals in Knoxville, and we have never had the RN spend the time Andrea spent checking on us and doing anything she saw that needed to be done, like making sure I had a recliner (especially since I was staying in the room overnight with my husband). Cassi was the one who located one first, but both were on the lookout! The night shift was also wonderful, but because we were asleep a lot of the time, we did not notice how many times they were in and out checking on my husband. Isabelle, the RN, and Emma, the tech, were cheerful, energetic, and proficient, as well. We loved the way they handle discharge. It was the shortest amount of time we ever spent in a hospital after the doctor signed the discharge order. We loved the discharge nurse, Evelyn. She was very thorough and taught us everything we needed to know when we got home for the recuperation period. Also, the food was wonderful. Once my husband even said it was as good as a favorite restaurant’s food. I also enjoyed the choices in the cafeteria.

I had the best care of any hospital stay to testing in our city. From Laura at the tests front desk to the Nuclear medicine Tech, Chad. He was amazing and compassionate. Dr Antiporda, surgeon and Dr Capps, cardiologist are two of the best Drs I have had in my 75 years. They all were so kind and respectful of me. But the good care and decisions they advised were top in my opinion. It’s difficult to find good health care. I feel it was a God thing that I would have the best.
