      Even though surgery is not fun, the staff at Watauga Medical Center have been amazing. Not only are they efficient and know what they are doing, they are kind and have the best “bedside manners.” We know that even when we go home, we have a support system that will help us when needed. We certainly will recommend this hospital to our friends and family!

      I was admitted to Watauga Medical Center the evening of Christmas Eve, 2020, for Covid-related breathing difficulties. I am extremely grateful for the professional and personal attention I received over the next 5 days. The staff knew exactly what I needed, putting that protocol into place immediately. I quickly learned how well the nursing staff is trained to respond to the demands of Covid treatment, reassuring me and relieving my concerns. The nursing staff was upbeat and encouraging, getting me well enough to be discharged 5 days later. I’m beyond grateful for all the staff I encountered during my stay at WMC. Many thanks to all!

      My husband and I cannot say enough about the positive experience we had at the Birthing Center during the recent delivery of our little girl. We received top-notch care from everyone we came into contact with. They were caring, kind and very dedicated. We could tell that everyone was there for their patients and went above and beyond to make sure we all received quality care.
