This hospital is one of the smaller ones in the Columbia SC metro area. This hospital has an entire floor designed for WLS patients. |
| Comments: |
The hospital was great! While it was smaller than the others in the area, I feel that they were able to give a more personal touch. The bariatric floor was designed to for WLS patients and was very comfortable and roomy. The staff was very good and knew their stuff. I'm not sure about their other services, but for WLS patients, they rank about a 4.5 out of 5. |
