Northside Hospital-Atlanta Hospital

The surgical staff was great and the first shifts were on top of things. Maybe it was because my Mom was there but they didn't get me up to walk as ordered, check urine levels or monitor my intakes.

I was in alot of pain, but the staff was great...most of the time. There were a few times that I had to wait for my pain medicine, but overall the staff was very responsive.

Everything was fine, but you have to stay on them. The first nurse I had was awful, she was non-responsive and completely disinterested in anything I had to say. That changed that evening and I was good to go after that. There was also a bit of confusion with my pain medicine, even though the anesthesiologist had clarified everything before surgery I had none for the first 5-6 hours I was post-op and I really needed them at that point. Nevertheless, everything was cleared up and we were good to go. The first chair my husband had to sleep in was not comfortable and very squeeky, making him not want to move for fear of waking me, on a qalk down the hall the next night, however we managed to rustle up a much more comfortable chair that turned into a little bed so keep an eye out for that :).

With the exception of the PACU nurse, the staff were very nice and they tried to be helpful. I had a lot of pain with my surgery so this may have impacted my response to the staff althought they did try to be accomadatiing.

Nursing was not that great. I threw up and no one cleaned it up for 4 or 5 hours. On the other hand, my bed was broken-they delivered a brand new one within an hour.

See above. No undue waiting for procedures, lab, etc. No 'I will be back in a minute' and then you don't see anyone for hours.

I felt taking care of

I think that Northside has the most accommodating bariatric staff around

I've had several stays in this hospital and found that they are always very good to the patients.

THE MOMENT I GOT THERE I KNEW I WAS IN GOOD HANDS AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THEM AT ALL.
