Emory University Hospital Midtown

"This is the WORST experience I’ve ever had at any hospital. I am dehydrated to the point that I can’t swallow and I wasn’t given any fluids. There was no care to figure out the true cause of my ailment. When I returned because my condition worsened the nurse was mean and rude!! While I sat in tears. Save your money and your time and go to a different hospital. Update: I’d give ZERO stars if I could. After crying because I didn’t feel well, the nurse in the front snapped at me and asked “well what do you want us to do” I suggested additional testing and fluids and she said they couldn’t. She said she “suggest I try somewhere else to see if I could get better care”. I took her sarcastic advice, only for the ER results to be regurgitated to me. If she knew that providers share results why tell me to go to another one?? I wasted $200 for nothing. I will absolutely never seek care at this place again."

"I have never been a patient at Emory but my Aunt was transferred here from Valdosta. Honestly, Emory saved her life. The doctors here were super knowledgeable about what was wrong with her and the care she needed. The Coronary Care Unit has to be one of the best in the city. My aunt received a lot of detailed care during her stay here. Whenever I had questions they were happy to answer them. They explained everything thoroughly. The hospital itself is huge. It's a campus. Most people enter on 550 Peachtree Street side but the patient tower is easily accessible on 35 Linden Ave NE. Recently I tried to enter on the Linden Ave entrance and it was closed stating that entrance is now used for employees only. I sat outside and waited until someone exited and I walked through the door. The security guard explained that it was closed. I explained to him I was not able to walk around the entire building and the walk through the building to this side. I told him to consider me handicap. He said that was not something they thought about. It was all good. He said he would bring I up with his supervisor. Good deal."

"I was abnormally ill and was afraid of dehydration. My head felt as if it were splitting in two. This was the closest ER to me so I went. It was a full waiting area with little to no staff. The triage nurse took over 6 hours to give me nausea medication, even thought they knew I had to frequently run to the bathroom to heave. Or medication for my headache, even though I explained my symptoms and pain level. I was kept in the waiting area for over 12 hours in order to be seen by a doctor with other seriously ill individuals. They almost didn’t do any tests to see what was wrong. I had to ask if they were planning to do anything in order to help me. I was finally taken to the back after the new shift of physicians came into work, and told to sit on a gurney in the hallway to be seen by a doctor. The chat with the doctor took all of 15 minutes and I was sent home with no actual instructions on how to help myself and discharged home. I will never go there again for any purpose. Terrible service."
