Piedmont Columbus Regional - Midtown

"I would love to have given 5 stars - but the anethesiologist who was in labor and delivery this past friday was anything but polite. I have a heart issue i found out about sping of last year, while having no insurance. So i could'nt go to a cardiologist. Come August i found out i was pregnant and got on pregnancy medicaid, OB sent me to a heart dr to find out that medicaid only covers pregnancy not pre existing conditions. Your anetheiologst intrupted me trying to explain and said ma'am dont make excuses- if you don't care about your health that's on you. For someone who has never met me until he walked in my room friday morning and doesnt know my situation i didnt appreciate being talked to like that. Yall need someone with more compassion, and better bedside manner - someone who enjoys there job because he clearly doesnt seem to enjoy his. He was very nasty for no reason. Other than that, everyone in labor and delivery was very very sweet and pleasant to work with in a very anxious time."

"PLEASE - do not take a loved here - unless you want them to be left - all alone! My wife had to accompany my father and mother where they waited ALL day to be seen. When my sister and I got off work to relieve her, we were told, "Only two people are allowed - PER DAY!! - no exceptions". Was that explain when they arrived? NO! Were we able to take my mother home to rest? NO! Will they have security escort you out and/or arrest you if you question them? YES!"

"I hate to write a negative review because the staff were excellent after I was admitted. The negative review is because I was made to wait 10 hours before being moved into a room. I was at the ER because my PCP told me to go immediately for a transfusion. I'm a dialysis patient and was in the middle of my cycle and assumed we could drain my fluid at the ER. I'm not meant to keep a fill cycle in me for longer than 8 or so hours before it becomes dangerous, but I didn't anticipate having to wait longer than that. We tried communicating this to the desk staff multiple times, and they didn't seem to grasp the severity of it. On the 3rd time (at around 10 hours) I slipped and used the f-word while describing it (the situation, not her) and she went off on me saying she could ruin my day and to step back, and then called security. Luckily a nurse ended up coming and when I explained the situation she understood and got me to a room quickly, where the nurses who drained me were horrified at how long I'd been made to wait with a dwell inside me. We had arrived at 1 and it wasn't until 11 that I finally got a room. I would strongly recommend investing in some kind of way to warn people of expected wait times, even if it's just scrawling on a chalkboard outside the ER entrance. A lot of people were saying they'd have gone elsewhere if they'd known and I can't say I blame them."

"Early Saturday morning I brought my boyfriend here because he thought he was having a heart attack. He wanted to come here because back in September he had a pacemaker put in at this hospital and thought maybe having his records already here would help. We go in we told the lady at the front desk we thought he was having a heart attack . She told us to go set down and they would call him back shortly. After a little while some guy came got him and done a EKG. I asked do he have a heat attack and the guy said well not the big one . We go set down a while later they came and took him back and drew blood. Sent us back into the waiting area. Then they came got him to do a chest X-ray. Then sent him back out into the waiting area . They had maybe six people out there .After waiting and him bend over with pain I walked back up to the desk and ask if they could help him. I was told that the area he needed to be in was full and the other beds was for people with non Emergency care . After telling us they would be coming out every two hours to do bloodwork to just stay seated. After a while we left and he was taken to a different hospital and right away they took him back. He was having a heart attack and if he would have waited much long he probably wouldn’t have made it . How can . I hope we never have to come to this Piedmont again . It seems they are in the business for letting people die. Shame on all of you ."

"Slow 7 hour wait to even get back to a room - even when the emergency room was near empty. Front desk staff unable to offer any help or updates. So disappointed in the quality of care and lack of other options for treatment when have a medical emergency. When we did get a room it was filthy - picture below is of the hospital bed."
