| My surgeon, Dr. Michael Williams uses this hospital. I noticed how well he and the nursing staff got along, you know like a real team. |
| Competitors: |
I received excellent care and everyone connected to the hospital seemed very professional. That hasn't always been my experience in the past at other hospitals. |
| Comments: |
I believe I touched on that subject a little in the previous question. All the staff, hospitai, bariatric center staff also showed genuine concern for me and my family. |

| Comments: |
There were some great nurses and techs and there were a few that weren't. They didn't follow any schedule in getting me walking. I felt like it was my job to ask for everything. Good thing I wasn't really ill or it could have been difficult in getting help. One night I called for someone to "unplug" my leg cuffs so I could use the bathroom. The tech came in, unplugged the cuffs, turned out the light, closed the door and left. She didn't unplug my IV thingy or even make sure I could get to the bathroom, she just left me in the dark. My meds weren't the right doses so I had to ask them to correct them. They were responsive in giving me pain and nausea meds when I asked for them.

The staff was wonderful, even down to the nursing student. Main problem was parking was a long way from my room, and there should have been an extra bed for my husband to sleep in when he stayed with me. |

| Comments: |
I am very glad that my physician choose this hospital. The staff was awesome, and Dr. Williams knows each nurse and give preference as to whom he would like to care for his patients. I am very delighted that I had the experience of staying in this hospital. The staff as well as the doctor, doesnt make you feel like you are at a hospital-more so a hotel with room service. |

Far and above in ever aspect of care. These folks made me feel like a million dollars |
| Comments: |
The nurses and techs (I so wish that I could remember each fo their names) were so sweet and truly the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The staff at North Fulton Bariatrics truly showed how much they cared by coming in to see me pre-op and post-op. That meant more than I could ever say. What a wonderful group of people. |
