Birmingham Alabama, UAB. The hospital experience was mostly positive. But I didn't meet my surgeon until the morning of the surgery and was told he would "Probably" be able to see me before surgery. I informed them there would be no surgery if I didn't meet him so for them to convey that to him.
My living donor coordinator was a nightmare from beginning to end! Incredibly frustrating experience. I have not had access to my surgeon after the surgery to answer questions and the coordinator made many mistakes, causing weeks of delays. My recipient had a useless coordinator as well. Communication is a MAJOR issue at this transplant center and it needs to be fixed. It should not have been such a negative experience dealing with the person who is supposed to be my coordinator. (sorry for the rant).
