I just had a planned surgery here. I had not been in a hospital as a patient in 29 years but I have been on the other side as caregiver to my mom way too many times. CMC was wonderful. The staff was top notch. Everyone was kind and knowledgeable. The facility was clean. I think everyone there enjoyed their job. There were no alarms going off constantly. When I called for a nurse the front desk always answered immediately and my nurse showed up in nothing flat. My advice; avoid Caromont in Gastonia at all cost! Even the food was good and there is a Chick-fil-a and a Panera Bread inside the hospital.
