I was taken by ambulance to Athens Limestone Hospital. Once there, it was determined that I had a…read morevery serious blood infection that had turned septic and was placed in ICU for the next almost two weeks. All of the doctors, nurses, tech, etc in the ICU were fantastic. After leaving ICU, I was placed on a regular form for an additional 4 days or so. My doctors, again, were fantastic; very personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about me as their patient. Overall, I had a wonderful experience while in Athens Limestone Hospital, as wonderful as one can have being so ill. I would like to address to people directly though. I had nurse by the name of Gabby while on the regular floor. She was horrible. She should not be a nurse, not for Athens Limestone Hospital nor for any other hospital. When she first came into my room, it was immediately obvious that she did not want to be there and could not have cared less about me, as her patient, and presumably about any other of her patients. She was not friendly, did not want to be bothered to helped me, would not answer her page and on many occasions never came into my room to see what I needed and was the only nurse to jab the diabetes needle into my arm, which actually hurt. She is beyond a horrible nurse, and should be fired immediately. She is not a good representative for Athens Limestone Hospital. I would also like to comment on Barbara; she goes by Bam Bam or Jo Jo. She is with the housekeeping staff. She was fantastic. She went above and beyond, way above and beyond, what her job would require her to do. She always had a big smile on her fact when she came into my room, enjoyed talking with me, and genuinely cared how I was doing. She cleaned my room far better than any of the other housekeeping staff, taking the time to go the extra mile. She is a true asset to Athens Limestone Hospital and one that I hope is recognized for her exceptional service. Thank you, Bam. You made my stay at the hospital more enjoyable with your presence.

I had to go up to the desk 3 separate times to ask what was the hold. They wasn't under staff or anything so I asked what was this issue and was never given an answer. This is by far THE WORST HOSPITAL IN NORTH ALABAMA!! I wouldn't dare come back to this hospital ever again! I also sat down for 10 hours straight and on the 11th hour they were just now testing for strep and covid. When I gave them my reasoning for coming, it clearly stated how much pain I had been in! Not only did they not attend to me there was a pregnant couple in the lobby that sat for 8 hours straight before they ever said anything to them! I've stated multiple times to the staff in the front that my throat felt like it was closing let alone I was also told that it would be hours before my name was even called! It is 11:06 and I AM STILL HERE NOT TREATED, heard , or even had my tonsils checked to make sure I didn't have severe closing in my throat. I've explained to them from my time coming here and sitting down things have gotten severely worse and yet nothing has been done at all! 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR YOUR SAFETY OR YOUR CHILDRENS SAFETY

My surgery was scheduled for in office and Dr. Wilson removed the cyst. I was glad he was able to remove the cyst in the office versus going to the hospital. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson and his staff for your surgical needs. Their bedside manners are tops. As a patient, I can recommend this business wholeheartedly.

Symptoms were consistently left unaddressed and it was extremely difficult to talk to him directly. Patient communication should be a priority especially regarding possible life threatening complications. I could not even voice concerns to the surgeon supposedly in charge my care while he was out of the country, I was told to talk to Wilson instead (who was out of the country for another week, so impossible to see him at all.) The person that took over for him in a related hospital stay literally cut me off when I tried to ask a question regarding my care -after barely spending 5 minutes with me. Most of what he even said was very vague and not helpful at all. If I had the choice of providers this practice would not even be a consideration. Seeking outside consultation.

I'm so happy he made the decision to use Dr. Gray as our family doctor, especially now that he is 66! I recommended Dr. Gray to my sister and her husband and they both quickly made appointments with her female and male nursing staff [respectively] and both were delighted with their visits. Thanks Dr. Gray! My visit was painless, the staff were professional and friendly, the office itself was comfortable and modern with a happy feel and was super clean with attention to detail such as bright colored foam pieces that almost looked like architectural features on the walls to absorb sound. She texts you a link to complete your medical history online which did take about 20+ minutes since I have a large family, hence a lot of family medical history to disclose. This paid off, as it was convenient, I didn't have to print any documents to take with me, and it was electronically signed on my phone and sent back to their office in plenty of time for my appointment. Dr. Gray herself is happy, pleasant, friendly, and a ball of positive energy! She listened intently, took notes on a small laptop she carried around with her and filled my prescriptions ASAP, which I picked up without issue at Publix. She provided hard-copy referrals for bloodwork, mammograms, etc., and get this - my appointment was on a Saturday -- what MD has Saturday appointments?!?!?!?! I think this was an anomaly, because I had a weekday appointment that was cancelled and the staff called me to reschedule on Sat., stating, "Dr. Gray got a little behind and is working Sat. to get caught up." I noted 12 Sat. patients as I signed in for my appointment. The wait was maybe 15 minutes and I think I spent 30 minutes between talking with her nurse and then Dr. Gray. She also owns a [my words] Medspa, and does procedures such as botox and also weight loss. I think it is called "Better Weighs to Better Health." I [and my sister] liked the fact that she will do your bloodwork in her office for a $10.00 fee, which is a nice feature. She is affiliated with Athens-Limestone hospital which is right across the street. My sister said that, at her recent appointment with the nurse practitioner, the office pictured, was relocating in an adjacent building and had become, or added on an urgent care feature. I don't have any details about this so don't quote me. Thank you Dr. Gray and staff for your kindness and professionalism - my family are so happy and confident we are in good hands with your office!
