Presbyterian Dallas Hospital

The team was very attentive and helped with any request I or my family had. Thank you for a good ecperience!

Be forewarned!! While this may be locally known as a great hospital, the staff was not adequately trained to handle bariatric patients. I would even go as far to say I think they were understaffed and the nurses lacked the fundamental skills of nursing.

My husband also very much appreciated how welcoming the hospital staff was, inviting him to spend the night in my room. The accommodations were fabulous!

i was very disappointed in the care, staffing, and privacy of this hospital. I had to ask for towels each day and if it was not for my physician checking in on me I am not sure if any thing would have been done correctly. Very disappointed in this hospital

The nursing staff was fantastic, but they are understaffed. Discharge was the worst. The surgeon came to discharge me, but the nurses would not allow me to leave, claiming that I would be AMA if I left. It caused us to not arrive at my home until about 9 pm the day I was discharged. I only live 15 minutes away and this was my third day in the hospital so we were definitely annoyed by this. Overall, however, you will receive great care at this facility. If you are short, you want to figure out how to deflate the bariatric bed before climbing in and out. They have no accommodations for short people who have to get in and out of bed. Also, beware the cranberry juice cocktail. It is NOT low sugar.

I will always go to this hospital. It was a wonderful experiment.

The only con I had about the hospital was how uncomfortable my bed was.

I will never go to any other hospital if I have a choice. The valet parking made it so easy to come and go. The nurses were so kind.

Beware the bariatric coordinator. I actually fired her from my case. Most WLS patients stay on 6 east and the staff is good, but sometimes don't communicate with each other and tend to dissapear at shift change. If you need pain meds ask before 7!!!

I had a lot of trouble getting nurses to respond to me. I am a quiet person, do not complain. I should have been an ideal patient. Maybe that's why they chose to take their time changing my IV bag, getting me pain meds & gas meds. I had one nurse that was very caring. Her name was Mandy Lu. I liked her a lot.
Check out time was supposed to be 11am. My dr released me at 10:30. When I asked the nurse 2 hrs later when I was going to be discharged from the hospital, she acted like she was surprised that I wanted to leave. She also acted like it was a lot of trouble to get me discharged. I didn't understand that at all. Did they expect me to stay forever? I finally got to leave the hospital around 1:30.
