About this Hospital
 |
The Atlanta Bariatric Center, exclusively at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, is a premiere weight loss surgery center just north of Atlanta in the state's newest city, Johns Creek.
Unparalled attention to our patient's comfort and dignity combined with our steadfast commitment to clinical excellence have made us the center of choice for many patients in the southeastern United States.
We are experts in the field of weight-loss surgery, having performed over 2000 successful laparoscopic procedures with complication rates well below the national average. The National Institutes of Health recommends that bariatric surgery be performed only at facilities with a multi-disciplinary, comprehensive program. Our center is such a facility and offers the following services at an all-inclusive price:
· Surgical options including laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, Lap-Band, malabsorptive and revisional procedures
· Registered Dieticians for nutritional counseling
· Psychologists for ongoing aftercare and counseling services
· Weight loss seminars and support groups.
· Exercise programs
· Financial counseling and insurance pre-certification

The staff and the hospital were wonderful. My nurses were great, I felt like I was being taken care of by friends! The hospital is new and you can see that the layout of the rooms was carefully thought out . There is banquet seating and a nice comfy chair. My mom stayed overnight with me, slept on the banquet seating and said that she was very comfortable. The nurses brought my mom blankets and pillows. My family ate there and said the food was wonderful. My entire experience there was wonderful, I can't think of enough good things to say about them! |

EJCH is an excellent place to go for WLS. They have a section devoted to WLS patients & specially trained bariatric nurses. Everyone I delt with was exceptionally nice & caring. No one seemed to be unhappy with their job or overworked, like so many other hospitals these days. I would highly recommend this hospital!! |

| Comments: |
They are amazing, all private rooms, I was given one of 2 recliner-beds that switched from a traditional hospital bed to a chair so I had no trouble getting up and laying back down, it was incredible! The nurses were truly caring and took care of me really well. |

If you are going to have a bariatic procedure in Georgia, this would be the hospital to stay at they have 100 rooms all private, there is a relaxed environment as if you had just stayed at the Hilton instead of going through some operation or trauma that has sent you here. They are knowledgeable about the bariatrics process and they have specified bariatric on the floor for bariatric patients. They also have a bariatric Coordinator who comes in an talkes to you and greats you with a package for you new life adventure(four stars). |

| Comments: |
Everything was great a this hospital. Nice staff, friendly, amd wonderful to deal with.
Everything was fine with my experience except when I had to go to Radilogy and was taken by wheelchair the day after my surgery from my room to radiology.
I had two separate visits to Radiology and both times was told the first time to put my feet up on the stand that holds my IV and to hold it while they navigated me in a wheelchair. THIS WAS A BIG MISTAKE. While entering and exiting the elevators the IV stand tipped and caused severe pain in my right side. The staff needs to not ask patients to hold IV Stands while being moved via wheelchair after surgery. IF asked DO NOT DO IT! Make them do it this is very dangerous and caused excess strain and a very slow recovery for me. |

| Comments: |
I was surprised at the level of excellence achieved by this hospital. Especially the way it strives to give you a luxurious home away from home instead of a sterile, cold sick room. The floors were wood and carpeted, the rooms were warm instead of sparse. They even had a towel warmer in the bathroom where I took my first post-op shower. I recommend this hospital whole heartedly for a restful recovery. |

The staff at Emory was very nice, accessible and ready to assist in any way necessary. The beds, gowns, etc. were very comfortable. As an obese patient, I've had experiences in other hospitals where this wasn't the case. |

I loved it. If I get sick and need a hospital I would make the hour long drive to this one. It is much better than our local hospital. |

| This is one of the hospitals my surgeon, Dr. Hart, uses. However, after my pre-op visit/orientation, it was very understandable why he chooses to operate there. My experience was terrific. From pre-op testing thru surgery thru dismissal. |
| Competitors: |
This hospital has a wing dedicated to bariatric surgery. Everyone working on that wing is very experienced and sympathetic to the bariatric surgery patient. |
| Comments: |
I so appreciate the care and comfort afforded me at this facility and would give it a "10" on a scale of 1 - 10 (with 10 being the highest score given.) |
