I feel like Baystate has the best quality, theoretically. Their problem though is that they always seem to be ridiculously overcrowded.

The best experience I’ve ever had, by far, was at Holyoke Hospital. Went in with a collapsed lung for a few days and there was legitimately a nurse stopping in my room every hour on the hour to check my vitals and give me another in an endless series of mobile X-rays. They were all over me so much that I actually began to believe that I was in much worse shape than they were telling me.

The care there was so good that the one time something happened to me since that time, I requested to be taken there without hesitation.

Meanwhile, I live in Westfield. Unless you need an aspirin or a couple of stitches, stay far far away from Noble Hospital. I don’t know a single Westfield resident that doesn’t have a horror story about that place.
