Currently sitting in the hallway of the ER. Have been for 10hrs. Came in with a post surgery infection. The lack of bed space in this hospital is appalling. I'm expected to sit in this hallway all night waiting for IV antibiotics. No sleep, I had better rest in the simulated POW camp I was in during my Marine Corps training.
In 2012 I fainted at my home, I was rushed to this hospital by my friend. I was not able to talk but could hear what was going on around me.. I could hear the nurses taking my vitals. I soon became more alert.. About 15 minutes later I screamed with excruciating pain in my stomach.. I mean the worse pain ever.. Immediately a Dr came in, and started explaining to me that I needed emergency exploratory surgery.. I was so scared and in so much pain. The DR. told them to rush me to surgery and put me to sleep. I will forever be thankful for the DR that saved my life. Thank you so much Dr. Charles McCord! The staff and the emergency room staff were so very good to me.. I’m late with this review because I honestly forgot until today. The only way I remember to review is because my daughter is currently in the ER and in sever pain.. I’m in Texas and I told her to go there. I know they will be good to her.. I pray she will be ok. I can’t get info over the phone due to patient privacy and she’s 19.. but, anyway Thank you all !!
I would like to thank Dr. BAILEY in the ER for her special attention toward my 11month old. You're a blessing. And I wish you the best Holiday season. -Christin T.
I don't understand the negative reviews because I have been here more times in 2017 then I ever want to be in a hospital. I have received very good care from kind and helpful staff. If I detect a problem or something I don't like I speak up. Maybe the people with the negative reviews don't speak up ? I find that the doctors who work here listen to me and are straight forward with me. On numerous occasions the nursing staff has done extra things for me that I ask for and are very helpful and nice. I also see that the treatment they provide for me is correct. If I am sick and here, I research it myself how I should be treated and the hospital's treatment has been correct so far in my experience.
We recently had out little girl here and the staff was fantastic!!! Everyone was very attentive and was very polite. We didn't meet a negative person through our entire stay, and plan to use this hospital again if we have more children.
Hello everyone!
I recently deliver my second baby at Piedmont Newnan, and to be quiet frankly, I had a very nice experience to say the least. From the front desk all the way to the delivery room, everyone was helpful. I have to say that I arrived around 2am, and of course, people are tired and sleepy, but I can tell they did their best. I had my first child at Northside Atlanta, and it's a much rather busier hospital and smaller rooms but staff was nice for the most part. Good overall ☺
worst emergency room i have ever been to. they give everyone an iv before you see a doctor. they don't even know if you need an iv or not but they charge $300 for the needle. I have never seen an emergency room routinely give IV's to every patient. the staff is unprofessional and impatient. It appears that the nursing staff I made of people with very little experience.
getting an IV placed in one try is easy on a patient with good veins, but on a patient with crappy veins it can require multiple attempts. That just multiplies all of the above downsides (risk of complications, patient pain, time and efficiency, expense). Why are they doing this to every patient routinely? There can only be one reason, they want the money. They are letting people sit there for 6 hours, just what I saw, with an IV when they didn't know if the IV was necessary. People are under stress when they go to the ER and this makes it worse. Once you have an IV, you are committed to stay, instead of leaving to go to another Emergency center and you are committed to pay for the IV when you may not have needed it the first place. This is a money making unethical practice!
This ia the worst hospital I have ever visited.The staff could care less.They act like you are just here cause you have nothing better to do. If I drive myself .Nobody knows anything here horriable people and service.
We walked in to the ER, my wife had a lower back injury the initial wait was approximately 20-30 minutes. The assessment was fairly quick everyone was nice and attentive. The ER was half full when we arrived but it seemed they were calling people back as quickly as possible. They actually listened and repeated back her symptoms. Overall and considering the circumstances the visit has been the best hospital experience we've had in quite a long while, we would recommend this hospital to everyone.
I experienced an internal bleeding incident in my colon mid-afternoon on a recent Saturday and drove myself to Piedmont Newnan Hospital's emergency room. I was not in pain as I announced myself to the reception desk so prepared for a long wait. My name was called in less than 10 minutes and I was immediately processed into the emergency room.
The care I received was capable and immediate. The doctor and nurses were professional and caring.
I was admitted to the hospital for further testing. Early the next morning I experienced a serious drop in blood pressure and a very serious increase in heart rate. The Rapid Response Team was immediately assembled and they stabilized me until the danger passed. I was only semi-conscious but still aware of the calm and professional actions of the nurses and doctor who attended to me.
I left the hospital three days later and have recuperated nicely since then. My experience at Piedmont Newnan exceeded all my expectations. From the medical professionals to the housekeeping and kitchen staff I had nothing but wonderful people attending to me. I want to give a very public acknowledgement to Piedmont Newnan Hospital and all the people there who gave me such outstanding care. Well done and thanks.
On my recent visit on March 23 2017. I was in need of a very urgent/emergency surgery from a urologist. The urologist on call would not see me because I was not already a patient in their group so they transferred me to Piedmont Fayette via ambulance. The staff and everybody that I did meet were very nice. I personally think it's bull crap that you have a urologist on call but won't see you because you're not a patient of his urology group. So now I have to pay two ER co-pays Plus the charge for the ambulance ride. All because the urologist on call didn't want to see me because I wasn't his patient.
Great access, great staff, great doctors and nurses.
My sister came here at 4am with awful gut pain. She and my mom both said that everyone was incredibly sympathetic, attentive, and friendly. They were exceedingly professional but not too stuffy to hug my mom when she was crying.
They had to rush my sister into exploratory surgery and it went quickly, the surgeon is incredibly professional, well spoken, and my sisters and mom were happy that he is easy to look at. :) he explained everything well and had a very good bedside manner.
The architecture of the building can't be understated. It's as if the designer wanted to show off a study of light and angle. Everywhere you look, there's a beautiful view of light and shadow, it's sculpture in light. The light show is therapeutic and comforting. It gives a hopeful feeling in a place that doesn't always have good news. It's clear this in intentional. Well done.
