Palmetto Health Baptist Hospital

I think considering that this hospital has only been involved in bariatric surgeries for the past year is doing a remarkable job in trying to accomodate the needs of these patients.
As in most places the majority of the staff is very sensitive to the needs of the overweight paatient as well as the psycho social aspect.
I felt assured that my doctor and the hospital could take care of any emergency needs that may have arisen.
In regards to privacy I had to end up in a semi-private room because the hospital census was full. They still allowed my daughter to stay with me and were very helpful in accomodating any need she had in taking care of me.
The pain medication was more than adequate and they were concerned that perhaps I was not taking enough so even though it was to be self administering they continued to check that my needs were being met.
The hospital was more than accomodating with visitors considering I had a very large number of family and friends to support me day of surgery as well as throughout my stay.
All of my general needs were met and the parking accomodations were quite qdequate. I would rate the overall value of this hospital in my surgery case a very positive experience.
