Northside Hospital-Atlanta Hospital

Everyone was great

I felt some of the techs did not have enough training.

The hospital was clean and friendly. the staff was execellent and I thank them for my wonderful care.

I would use this hospital again, but the parking and traffic is a pain.

I have had two experiences at this hospital one where I was the patient and the other where my daughter was the patient. I was not happy either time. My hospital stay was not due to WLS. There is no way I would have WLS there based on my past experiencecs.

After the renavations I feel there should have been more thought put into the design of the rooms. The help string in the bathroom does not have an intercom and when the staff called back it was in the other room. Bathroom door oprns into the door to come into the room the hit if your comming out of the restroom and someone is comming in the main door. Staff at night not very attentive nurse was quick to say "not my job" call the tech......

I was surprised by how dirty the hospital was. I'd only been in the Women's Center of Northside Hospital to visit a friend who'd had a baby and that portion is awesome. The main hospital is completely different. There was trash on the floor that I saw for 2 days straight as I walked the halls, a dirty towel left on the floor of the hallway, visable dirt in the room and bathroom. It was pretty gross. Very disappointing. The nurse told me they were planning to renovate the day after I left, but they should have done it long ago and really renovating doesn't take care of trash problems. Nasty.

HOWEVER, my nurses Cara and Kathy were awesome. They were both so kind and caring. I couldn't have asked for better nurses.

Surgical staff was great. The floor nurses were not. At night they are to busy partying to take care of patients.

I thought the hospital did a great job with the exception of the recovery room nurse. I told her I was hungry when I woke up and she said Thats why you are hear now! Now you aren't hungry are You? I felt really mad, for her to speak to a patient in this manner is unacceptable.

The hospital itself could have been cleaner! Especially my bathroom! I had a private room that was supposed to have a recliner type chair for the person staying with me overnight. Instead there was just two regular chairs to put together to sleep on. This to me was not worth the extra expense of having a private room.
