My prayer is that no family ever has to experience what our family had to endure
My husband was taken to Piedmont Atlanta from Piedmont Newnan due to a pulmonary embolism and blood clots in lungs. Not going into all the details of lack of care and untruths. The biggest reason for this very negative rating is how we were treated as a family and how he was treated as a patient . I wish I could say that on December 21,2024 he passed away peacefully… but due to the fact that palliative care or hospice was not brought in he passed away struggling for his last breath… sweating because he couldn’t breath. with absolutely no help from the doctor!

Piedmont Hospital Atlanta penalize low income Medicare patients
Piedmont Hospital Atlanta is the only medical facility I know that penalize low income Medicare patients who are responsible enough to pay their $185 a month to keep their health Insurance. When I applied for financial assistance I was told I didn't qualify because patients who have medical insurance are put on a different scale at only 125% of the Federal Poverty Scale while irresponsible patients who do not pay their $185 a month for Medicare health insurance are rewarded by being in a 300% of the FPL scale and they thus qualify to have their total bills excused. Seems to me that too many in our country are being rewarded for not working and paying into Social Security nor paying taxes yet they continue to be rewarded while the hardworking responsible people are penalized. To my knowledge Piedmont is the only hospital with this upside down patient assistant program.

The billing for what they did to “help” me is absurd.
I laid in the hallway for my visit and was only given Tylenol for the pain.. 1 bag of fluids was all I received. I was visibly shaking with abdominal and chest pain and was just discharged with internal bleeding. The next day I had to have an emergency surgery at another hospital in another state… they said I was lucky to have went in when I did. The bill for the surgery at the other hospital was less than half of what Piedmont had billed me. Their payment plans are worthless for a college student barely getting by in this economy. Please don’t go here, it could literally cost you your life… I am lucky to be alive.

The disrespect and lack of care is atrocious
I am absolutely disgusted and appalled by the treatment my family received at this facility. Patient care is not a priority, uninformed doctors and nurses, and extreme absence of communication. We will make drastic efforts to never be transferred here again. I truly wish I could leave 0 stars.

They do not care about their patients!!
Worst experience ever!! I sat & waited 2 hours for a pregnancy test, after telling I don’t know how many nurses about my symptoms & I was getting ignored!! The doctors were giving very nonchalant & not caring. There were no rooms available so, they had me sitting in the hallway for 2 hours!!! No diagnosis given or anything. They did not care to actually see what was wrong with me!! I refuse to be treated as if I don’t know what I’m talking about, especially when it pertains to my body!! I know what’s normal & what’s not. If you ever have to come to this hospital, I suggest otherwise!!

The racism I received has left me without words
I have not visited this faculty on purpose in years. This faculty definitely needs some teaching and training on how treat all people. It’s disrespectful, distasteful and downright disgusting to mishandle anyone during a time help is needed most. To hear the ER doctor say “she can’t touch me” blew my mind. I have no doubt it is the color of skin. You never know who you are addressing and if she knew I’m sure her response wouldn’t be what it was. I can gladly say that I will never use this facility again and while I have liked it in the past it has fallen into a very unpleasant place.

Terrible price gouging
$253 just because I asked for a lab test which they NEVER completed or given me test results for ! Very disorganized and snakes for profit not your health . Use GOOGLE to find questions otherwise prepare for a surprise $253 cost to answer basic questions and that’s during my annual I’ve never been charged for simple questions during my annual visit ! Will be in market for new healthcare provider : Update they respond on here but don’t get back to you right away . I will just file a dispute with my insurance company. Them replying on here is just a ruse to make it seem like they are helping
