Baptist Memorial Hosptial-Golden Triangle Emergency Department

I was amazed how good I was treated... granted I was a bit concerned when we were taken into the room that appeared to be used as a psych room... More often than not..but my main RN ( Larry) and every RN and tech was awesome from the get go. Dr. Richardson came in asking me what was going on...he did whatever it took.. complete work up ... Left there about 6 hrs later with medications (antibiotics) to handle my problem.
Last but not least...it's not easy for me to give 5 stars... but I was blessed by a complete crew of really caring people... And I had been to two different clinics in the previous 5 days to get help and avoid the ER.. but they are the one's that helped...

Everything is so great from the time you walk in the door. The nurses are very kind. Dr Richardson is wonderful. He is our favorite. Drs, McCoy, Manning, Scott, and both Dr Butler's are exceptional. They have feeling and seem to care about their patients. You all are so much better than DCH in Tuscaloosa. We owe you a big thank you. May God Bless you all. Please understand all the Drs. Are great! Betty Hancock

Entire staff was so awesome. I went in feeling awful and couldn't stand alone and left feeling so much better! Thank you Baptist Memorial Hospital for all the love during my time of need!

Dr Richardson made sure I was okay from the time I was rolled in the doors until wheeling out THANKS DOC THE ONE WIT THE SEIZURE DEVICE IN HER HEAD ( rns ) he's a caring Doctor

It was fine the nurses, acted very professional , the Dr.was very nice and explain professional and also the way I understand it.

The wait time to get in to see doctor, to be seen, and to get the results was awesome. The Staff, and doctor was so caring, and so kind.

The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They were also caring and professional...

They were all great ! My nurse Catlin Clark especially

Everyone was so nice and caring. Especially Stacy in the ER

Wait time was not very long . Staff was courteous and efficient.. Dr. Butler was nice and we were out in a short time .

Baptist is wonderful. Went in for chest pains and was blessed to be taken care of by angels in blue gowns. Open heart surgery 2 days later by very caring and professional staff. The nurses were so gracious and caring and made sure you were treated like family. Yes there was one respiratory therapist whose bedside speech and knowledge was less then desirable. But otherwise I have nothing but 5 stars for everyone. I think the “W” deserves a lot of credit because a lot of the staff did schooling there. Maybe the attitude of care started with the atmosphere on the W? Either way small town Columbus has a winner. Thank you Baptist.

I had a wonderful experience everyone I was so nice an attentive I was hurting so bad and they was trying so hard to get me an I’ve to give me something for pain but they had to get me a mid line but I’m grateful to them the problem was recognize

I was here around the week of August 20th (if I remember correctly) for an emergency colectomy and ileostomy. Dr. Patti Manning saw me, preformed a CT scan and apparently shortly after I was in surgery though i dont remember much due to the anesthesia they gave me. Anyways I woke up in the ICU unit and had tubes almost everywhere in me. The nurses, doctor's and respitory therapist were very caring, friendly, and always there if and when I needed them. I stayed in the unit for a month and then was transferred to meridian due to failure to wean off the vent and to help with physical therapy. It's been officially 2 months since I was last here and I gotta say I had the absolute best care ever! If any of you who took care of me during that time read this, thank you for everything y'all did! I'm doing a lot better than I was. Still a little weak and everything but each day my strength gets better! I'd definitely recommend this hospital for anything including if you need surgery! They have some of the best surgeons!

A family member (79 yrs old) recently had an outpatient procedure done at Baptist Memorial in Columbus. He was scheduled for 6:30 am. The earlier labs were not included in the paperwork before the scheduled procedure. They had to redo them. Everything took less than 30 minutes until he was carried back for surgery. Everything went great. He was out of surgery, out of recovery, and back in his room by 9:30am. He was released at 10:00 am. He started having complications that seemed bad to us so we returned to the hospital at 11:00 am and was directed to the ER. He was admitted, checked, and discharged to see his regular Doctor at 1:00 pm.
He was talking to the Doctor in the Doctor's office at 2:00 pm. His Doctor said what was going on was rare but did happen and wasn't an emergency even though it seemed / felt like it. The Doctor did a minor procedure to relieve the pain. It took only a two or maybe three minutes. Just to be sure, his Doctor admitted him to the Hospital for overnight observation. My family member was admitted to the hospital and in his room by 4:00 pm. The Doctor came by after his office hours just to check on my family member.
The next morning, the Doctor returned around 7:30 am. He ordered some tests, they were done, results in, my family member was cleared to go home, and we left before noon.
Every Doctor, Nurse, Nurse Aid, Cafeteria Worker, Administrator, Volunteer, and Maintenance Worker we encountered was friendly, smiled, and very pleasant to be around. This place provided the best care I have ever seen, in the friendliest way possible, and in the shortest time that it could be done. I have nothing but praise for every person who works at Baptist Memorial. My wife and I live in Tuscaloosa just a few miles from DCH. If we ever have to go to a hospital again, assuming it isn't urgent or life threatening, we will drive over an hour to go to this Columbus, MS hospital. They are nothing short of Amazing. I wish I could remember everyone's name. But I am horrible with names. I do remember Dr. Woodson, Dr. Brown, and Amber. Thank you all. Thanks to everyone in the ER, Patient Tower (4th Floor), Outpatient, and Dr. Woodson's Office. Every single one of you made our lives better.
And for the record, I am not, nor have I ever been affiliated with Baptist Memorial before. I have never been in this hospital prior to April 7, 2019. I knew nothing about it. But I have been in hospitals in Tuscaloosa, Tupelo, Birmingham, Winfield, Hamilton, and Atlanta. None were anywhere near as impressive as this one.

Don’t be alarmed by other reviews.

Watch out for misinformation or the loudest voices speaking up. These ladies have taken EXCEPTIONAL care of my family. We’re a military family who have stopped at the ER on three separate occasions: me, baby boy, and toddler girl.

Each time the in-processing was easy, wait time reasonable, and medical service timely as well as professional.

The ER has to triage meaning take care of the highest priority and treat only what they can handle based on manning or resources.

For us they took GREAT care of baby illness, toddler joint injury, and personal adult injury. We couldn’t be happier.

Show some love, respect, and patience and they’ll do the same.

Thanks Baptist,

- The Lodmell Family

Fantastic experience! Extremely fast service with very personal attention by all medical personnel.

I just recently had a heart cath performed on me. Dr John King did this procedure with the latest in technology equipment. He ballooned open three arteries and used the laser to repair a previous graft. He did an outstanding job with the assistance of all the Cath Lab personnel! I was moved to the fifth floor in the hospital for observation afterwards. All the staff on the fifth floor took excellent care of me. All of the staff in Dr King's office are also outstanding! I highly recommend this Cardiology group! I have needed them on several occasions and I wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for them.
