There is no compelling reason to seek the services of Wellstar Hospital System, En Banc, anywhere; I possess a Health Science degree and am past EMT-Ambulance, Firefighter, HAZMAT Certified Spalding Regional Hospital: 1) 3.3.17 I was poisoned with Industrial Potassium Chloride -- The Death Penalty Drug -- The Physician Did Not Put A Finger On Me -- Not Even To To My Lungs and Heart -- Private Rhino Hazmat Company Brought In: Nothing; given bums rush out; IV disconnected 1/2 way through given 10ml IV lock saline "To rinse eyes": I still have them :-). The State of Georgia with in conjunction with Norfolk Southern Railroad (their chemical tankers), Is Obtaining Industrial Potassium Chloride for use in Executions At the Georgia Diagnostics Center-Prison; we are at the most secret switching track nearest the Georgia Execution Chamber; 2) At Wellstar Sylvan Grove, I was poisoned 1.6.16 by a passing Norfolk Southern tanker leaking Industrial Hydrochloric Acid and given a cursory examination and no treatment 3) Mothers Ultrasound Separate Visit: We Asked For A Telephone Book to Call a Cab, None In Hospital, approach Administration a second time, Risk Management Decided to become involved, my blind mother with Alzheimers and two bad heart valves, in a wheelchair is made to cry, when a belligerent male nurse begins pumping out verbage, simply for only attempting to state we would like to call a cab; we only need a phone book; he exclaimed "You need to have money for a cab!!!" Third-party private security handled situation well, causing Wellstar Spalding Regional significant embarrassment, three ran out to meet us while my mother is crying! Employees are the same ( previous owner Tenet) Nursing is dismal, central Georgia-south Atlanta gross lack of socialization, conversation skills, lack concern for others The nurses and administration make Spalding Regional Unsafe for Any Condition. One nurse -- and only one nurse -- impressed me

I went here only because I really like my surgeon, who had performed two previous outpatient surgeries on me. Id had little but positive to say about the outpatient side of the hospital. They were great. However, this surgery required one nights stay. In my 62 years, Ive had a few stays in other hospitals where I used to live. This stay at Spalding Regional was absolutely the worst Ive ever imagined. Service was horrible at night. I maybe got 1/2 hour of sleep, and thats after surgery and pain meds. I was at the end of a hallway, but noise throughout the night and nurses not even respectful to "keep it down themselves", and "forgetting" my sleep meds was inexcusable. Food: every other hospital Ive been in brings choices from your Drs intended diet BEFORE serving. Not here! With no warning or asking, they brought a breakfast tray of food I absolutely hate. When I asked for something different, all I got offered was applesauce. And I have to agree with other reviews here and add that my room and bathroom facilities were filthy! The stick-on baseboard trim looked as though 10+ years of dust, dirt, and who knows what accumulations existed. Three separate times, things were dropped on the floor and not picked up, including thermometer covers. I was appalled when I raised the toilet seat. Wellstar took over in April, or so I was told at registration. Would have thought things would have improved at least a little by now. Nope. Also, they had no access to my previous records since the change over.

Got a call from my mother stating they were transporting her to Griffin. Upon arriving the unprofessional receptionist Kabrina let us back but said we would have to switch out with the other three people that were in the room, which we did. Seconds later the security guard comes to remove my sister and I. When asked why was told he got multiple calls from nurses and he would let us back in within ten minutes. When I went to ask Kabrina why we was pulled from the room, she becomes argumentative and then puts the blame back on the security guard and said only two people were allowed back at one time. Bottom line there was just me and my sister in the room and there was no point for her to be rude about it. She then went on to state that she wasnt gonna argue with me and called the security guard back up because she didnt want to deal with the mess she created. Upon speaking with the security guard he apologized for the confusion which she should have done, and stated he was confused when he arrived because he only say to people. This is one reason I hate the hospital it has a reputation for bad customer service and given the switch over you would think things would have gotten better but unfortunately that isnt the case. PSA to all skip this hospital!!!!

They let my grandmother ( a diabetic) leave literally an hour after being admitted to the ER after a horrific car accident. She had a gash on her head that had to have 11 staples. Then gave her prescription Ibuprofen which apparently thins the blood, so they sent her home to continue to bleed to death and she nearly did, by the time we got her to another hospital she had lost half her bodies blood supply. They didnt bother to do an abdominal CT, and we learned that her spleen was damaged and was internally bleeding. By the grace of God she may be saved, but if any one goes, ask where these idiots got their licences if they have one at all! Due to the accident my grandfather is prone to black outs but they didnt tell us, they told him he was free to drive and do things as normal even though now its been found that in the accident his heart had stopped for a second. Long story short, if you like living dont go here. If you go dont get the doctors and nurses confused (even though they dress similarly) if you do be prepared for them to pretentiously jump down your throat. Id trust a veterinarian with my body over those "doctors".

They have an okay suicide watch room. It has one tv, one bed, and one security dude. I did get a soda pop though, and I wanted a cigarette so the security officer allowed me to get one from him. lol Different situation different day, I got mad about something and threw my fist through a window. Hit an artery and was shooting blood out my hand. Bleed in the er for well over a hour. Glad my wife knew what to do or Id be dead. Story goes on, got to the room and they were going to do an xray, after they did the stitches. lol We set them straight quickly and explained that they needed to do the xray first, then the stitches. I didnt see why they needed the ray in the first place, it was a glass window, but what do I know? 4 days later I pulled a sliver of glass out of my hand through the stitches. Next time im in G-town, Im going to Walmart and getting a roll of duct tape before I go here for stitches.

Horrible!!!!!! We sat in the emergency room after triage waiting to be seen by a physician for 2 hours, then was asked about chest pains, which he had, but was not his immediate concern. After being admitted, he was never told by the staff what his condition was. The lack of information given to the patients is ridiculous. My husband was woken up during the night and could not get any sleep. when my husband was discharged, we were uninformed about any discharge instructions and never saw a physician before discharge. If he has to have surgery, we will not return to Spalding. Unfortunately, he has to do IV therapy at your facility daily for 10 days. The only good in the whole situation is Danella, Case Manager and 2 of the nurses that my husband had. The CNAs were exceptional!!!!!!
