Barix Clinics - Ohio Hospital

I can't say enough about the girls who work there. I never had a want they anticipated anything I needed. Wonderful group of people!

I rated the restfull and quietness only average, but that was ONLY because they make it clear that you are not there to rest. You are there for your WLS and then to recover. You have to walk at least every 4 hours, breathing treatments and liquid intake. You are not going to get any rest. But you are made aware of this way before you ever even check into the hospital. Up front and honest from day 1.

I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendliness and concerns of all the hospital staff. I think there was only one or two people who truly needed attitude adjustments in the entire staff...thankfully, I didn't have to interact with them that much at all. Kudos to this hospital and I'd recommend them to anyone!

I have had many complications...but not due any mishap the surgeon made. My surgeon, Dr. Barbara and his associate Dr. Stillmack (also a surgeon) have gone above and beyond the call of duty to care for me. I live 2 hours away from Barix. The 1st 4 weeks after surgery I was in and out of my local hospital (Southwest General). During that time, the hospital dr.'s and my specialist were able to contact Dr.'s Barbara and Stillmack at any time. My surgeons spent many hours discussing my care with my doctors, my mother and myself. They wanted to make sure my plan of care was appropriate for my condition. Although Barix is a fully staffed working hospital they are not equipped to handle emergency situations. My first complication was dehydration due to C-Diff. We drove down to Barix. They admitted me and gave me fluids and ran a KUB (x-ray of your belly) but were unable to run a cat scan or perform any advanced testing. They took great care of me and I was released w/in 2 days. My next complication I went to the hospital in my city which is a trauma 2 level facility. Although they were able treat me post-operatively, and run more advanced tests, their doctors had no idea what to do with me. I did not have one doctor who ever had a gastric-bypass patient. That was rough. So it really helped that the Barix doctors spent so much time helping my specialist understand my needs.

I want to note that I rated Barix excellent in every category. I did have one nurse that was aweful. She made sure she had the least possible amount of contact with me. I was happy I only had her one night and I talked with the nursing supervisor before I left.

No one could ask for a better medical staff than the one at Barix. Everyone was so nice. All staff members I had the chance to encounter were very professional and compassionate.

The stay was Great as far as hospital stays go.

I only had to wait one time for pain meds,and it's possible I just asked too soon, I had more pain than I expected the first couple days.

The hospital was spotless...the rooms were spacious and the furniture was large and comfortable..I would recommend this facility to anyone!

There entire facility runs smoothly. I did not have a single bad experience.

Everyone was really wonderful. My day nurse Julie is an amazing lady and made things much easier for me. I had only one bad experience. The Dr in X-ray was VERY RUDE. I had to have an upper GI on day 2 and was still very sick from the anestesia and the junk I had to drink made me vomit. This Dr physically pushed me around and snapped at me to be still...as I was vomiting! I hope no one else has to deal with him. The nurses said he's always like that. If that's the case he has no business working there.
