TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- A family member has had numerous test visits at the Glenn Family Breast Center over the last couple of years. I take my family member to the appointments each time and interact with the staff. I am always impressed with the caring and kind demeanor of the staff. It starts with the valet parking female who is always friendly and upbeat and caring. She does a great job.
- On October 9 I did a major surgery. Everything went well my stay I was treated real good . I was in room 3460 and few names I can remember Martin ,Claudette, Audrey, Lali, and Sam You guys were awesome you made my stay stress free. these nurses and text they were on points they walk in with a positive attitude and they left your room with a smile on your face. Let you know that everything is going to be OK and that meant a lot to me. Thank you guys.
- I feel as if I am not in the same hospital as many of the experiences I read about here. Every situation is different, so maybe I just happen to be that perfect patient who has all the right symptoms, responds well to medicine, surgery, and reccommendations, and feel blessed to be cared for by such an attentive staff. One week in for a gangrenous gallbladder removal, not all nurses have been perfectly attentive, not all meals have been 5-star, and I feel as if I have to wait more than I would like to get information, but I am grateful every time they stop to check my signs, help me change my gown, or show me how to take care of myself with the device I am going home with. I hope to never spend another minute in a hospital for any reason, but if I need medical care, Emory Decatur is my immediate ER visit.
