What should have been one of the…read moremost sacred moments of my life was stolen by cold, inflexible policies enforced without an ounce of compassion. We were removed from a waiting room that was barely occupied. There was plenty of space. There was no valid reason to turn away a grandmother who simply wanted to be close to her family during one of the most significant moments of her life. What Piedmont Midtown fails to understand is that childbirth is a family event. My son, the father, needed support just as much as his wife. That support doesn't stop at a waiting room door. Keeping family nearby is not a privilege -- it is basic human decency. I missed the birth of my first grandchild because of a rule enforced by people who showed zero regard for what that moment means to a family. No apology. No flexibility. No heart. If you are planning to welcome a baby at this hospital, know that your family may be treated as an inconvenience rather than a part of the experience. I would not wish this heartbreak on any grandmother, any father, or any family. My grandchild arrived into the world and I was not there. Piedmont Midtown made sure of that.

In March 2025, I fell off of a tree that collapsed onto my house and seriously injured my hip. I had a bulge sticking out of my hip about 6 inches and I could not put pressure on my left foot. The pain was horrible and my wife took me to this Emergency Room (as it was only 5 minutes from my house, very convenient). After multiple treatments for pain and xrays, the doctor told my wife and visiting church members that I either broke my hip or that my left leg came out of socket (due to the swelling and temporary disfigurement. Later, an MRI determined that I had a deep bone contusion. As we visited that Emergency Room in the past, paying no more than a Tricare covered co-pay, this hospital was always convenient - until I received a bill for $3,844.61. I informed Jack Hughston that I had both VA insurance and Tricare to cover the costs Jack Hughston then informed me that VA and Tricare covered their parts of the insurance and I still owed them $3,844.51. I informed my wife that, no matter how bad I am injured in the future, we will not go to this hospital (5 minutes from my home) ever again but, instead, drive to the Fort Benning Emergency Room (35 minutes away).

In order to get the proper scan to further diagnose the damage they said that Piedmont had the MRI that i needed as they're a trauma center. So i went there, triaged and waited, when the pa came in he did not even look in my ear, but said '...if you're not bleeding or dying you dont need to be in the ER". I then received a bill for $1200. I don't ever mind paying a bill for services rendered, but refuse to pay for subpar care. BEWARE, do NOT go to Piedmont Midtown in Columbus GA unless you are bleeding or carried by ambulance where you have no choice. If i could rate them less than 1, i would.

Dr saw us for maybe 3 minutes, swabbed for RSV then said it was negative and she just had a cold. I then asked if they could check her for strep and the dr goes " oh she doesn't have that" I asked "how could you know that without testing her?" " well strep doesn't cause a runny nose so just take her home and wait." I then raised concerns about her not eating or drinking very much and was told very condescendingly that "kids just don't eat when they're sick and just give her a popsicle" We went home with a nasal spray and that was it. Went to her pediatrician this morning and both of my children have strep!!!! Absolutely ridiculous care and lack of concern for an infant who has been sick/ not eating very much for 5 days.
