About this Hospital

North Hills Hospital, a 176-bed acute care facility, has been serving the growing communities of Northeast Tarrant County for more than 45 years. North Hills Hospital is staffed by caring health care professionals who provide expertise in a variety of medical fields, including bariatric surgery, emergency care, rehabilitation, advanced diagnostics, ICU, PCU, inpatient medical/surgical care, cardiovascular services, women�s services, outpatient surgery, and therapy services. The North Hills Hospital Bariatric Surgery Center provides extensive pre-op education and post-op care, including a local support group to help patients through this life changing surgery. It is part of an elite group of surgery centers to be named a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence based on its outstanding patient outcomes. North Hills Hospital was the first hospital in the United States to have a nationally accredited Cycle II Chest Pain Center, which means that patients will find faster response times and more efficient treatment for chest pain emergencies, including 24-hour access to the cardiovascular cath labs.The hospital recently opened a brand-new luxury women�s services floor that feels more like a hotel than a hospital. It also opened up 23 additional medical/surgical private suites, including a brand-new private bariatric unit as part of its $33 million expansion. Toward the end of 2007 it will open a new heart center and an ambulatory surgery center. www.northhillshospital.com
North Hills Hospital was the first hospital in Tarrant County to offer gastric bypass surgery with Roux en Y through the laparoscopic approach. Now our patients have the option of choosing laparoscopic lap band, gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery as well. Our program has been certified as a Bariatric Center of Excellence by the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons. A multi-disciplinary team of dietitians, psychologists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, an anesthesiologist, a bariatric surgery team, and a bariatric nurse coordinator utilizing clinical pathways are dedicated to the treatment of these patients suffering from this disease. We offer post-op nutritional evaluation and instruction, monthly support groups and lifetime follow up with Bariatric Surgeon. We also offer a BEND (behavioral,exercise,nutrition decision ) program by appointment to help patients prepare for their new life and meet requirements for insurance coverage.
Surgery is an exciting option for the appropriate candidates because it offers them the opportunity to transform their lives. They statistically live longer, healthier lives with a higher quality of existence.

I would compare it very nicely. I have been in Harris MEthodist hospital several times but I feel that the larger hospitals sometimes lose that personal touch if they are not careful. Not North Hills - they were wonderful! |
| Comments: |
Oh my goodness! There isn't enough room. Kind, attentive, helpful. Nosheen, Joyce, Helen, Marites, Paula, Melissa - everyone on the 5th floor was fabulous! Even the lab people were great! I felt really blessed to be there. |

The hospital is 90 miles away from my home, but I would go there again without hesitation even though there is a hospital in my home town. |
| Comments: |
Wonderful experience from pre-op to discharge. The nurses, RT, PT, and lab staff were wonderful and understood the needs of the bariatric patient. Any question was quickly answered, any need was taken care of immediately. Everyone was so friendly. There was one guy in particular who made my day...he was my respiratory therapist on surgery day and he stopped by my room on the second day. I got my spirometer because I thought he was there do do my breathing exercises with me and he said, 'I'm not assigned to you today but I just wanted to see how you were doing.' Everyone was like that, just over the top regarding patient care. A+++ |

| It is where Dr. Kim practices. I wanted him as my surgeon, so North Hilss is where I would go. |
| Competitors: |
To be honest I prefer Baylor, however, I wanted Dr. Kim to do my WLS so I went to NH. When I first moved to the Fort Worth area I used to look at North Hills and say I would never want to go to that hospital. I found out that I really enjoyed my stay(as much as you can enjoy a stay in the hospital). I would definately have no problem staying there again. |
| Comments: |
It was very clean, the staff was amazing. All the rooms in the bariatric unit are private. ( I am not sure about the rooms in the other part of the hospital). |

Overall, this hospital is excellent. I did have one nurse that did not take care of my needs very well and one person that comes around to take blood pressure that didn't give a hoot about the patient. However, all of the other staff, excepting the radiologist, were fantastic. The radiologist did not care about the patient at all either. I could have fallen out on the floor for all he cared. I happened to be having a real problem with nausea at the time & felt like I was going to pass out before he even bothered to appear. I think they contract Radiology Associates for this service though. |

I loved the hospital. It is a small hospital, but has a special bariartic wing just for WLS patients. We had our own nurses, and the rooms were large, chairs were large and bathrooms were accommodating. |

| Comments: |
The whole staff at North Hills was great. Everyone that I came in contact with was so sensative to me as a young overweight patient. The whole nursing staff in the Bariatric wing were absolutly outstanding. They made sure that I understood everything that was going on, and ensured my comfort every step of the way. The bariatric wing has private rooms too, it was very nice and relaxing after surgery. |

It appeared to be older and in need of some remodeling |
| Comments: |
The Staff were GREAT, except for one and there is always one.... the rooms and the bathrooms WERE NOT obese friendly at all. There were NO adaptive or large sized chairs, showers, shower seats or anything. It was a regular room, no special consideration to the obese and NO bariatric beds at all. This place was not equiped correctly for the obese. While it was okay... if a person is seriously overweight, they will need to have them order special equipment. There was no comfotable place to sit in the rooms for either me or my overweight husband.... I could not wait to get out of there and get home. Also the nurtitionist at NH Hospital do not seem to have very much training re: followup of WLS patients... I knew more from reading nutritional information on this site than THEY knew. |

| My surgeon, Dr. David Kim, performs his surgery there. |
| Competitors: |
I have had experiences in the past in certain hospitals and I think North Hills Hospital was small enough to care and large enough to be on top of everything needed for me.
|
| Comments: |
All in all, I'd have to give it a top rating due to the nurses and staff. They never made me feel anything but special and I will be forever grateful.
The beds were made for larger patients and so were the gowns. It was a large cheerful room with a private bath and T.V. I also had a recliner to sit in and put my feet up.
Everyone I came in contact with at the hospital was the best and made me feel welcome. I took them some cookies for Christmas. I wish it could have been more. |

My stay at North Hills was very nice-The staff was very understanding and helpful-The only problem that I had was with the morphine and as soon as they switched me to a different pain medication everything went great. |

| Comments: |
I had the most wonderful nurse. I wanted to take her home and adopt her as my mother! If it wasn't for the fact that I was allergic to the morphine I would have had an excellent stay. I did not want to go home. |
