That's Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philly folks--I'm counting on you for some help!

I had major surgery last year there that went amazingly smoothly. I was wondering if anyone here is going with Hahnemann's bariatric program. I'm interested in any pros or cons that you might have about the program.

It's handy for me, as I can do all my doctor appointments/labs over my lunch hour (or extended lunch hour) from work, rather than taking a bunch of sick time I can't really afford to go to a hospital nearer to home. (I work about 30 miles from where I live.)

Thanks for any feedback you might have!

Hi - I work in Philly too and not far from Hahnemann - just a few blocks away...anyway I went to Temple - loved the Dr but the area - so then I went to Jeanes Hospital about 40 mins away from the city - same Dr and AWESOME staff - stayed overnight at everything was great! I don't think there are any other Philly folk on here...I tried asking before. Good Luck

Wow--only TWO Philly folk! Well, there's a bariatric center at Hahnemann; I'm pretty sure I'm going there. I'm interested in knowing their experience level (how many surgeries they've done, etc.). Guess I'll do a little digging.

Thank you so much for responding and I wish you the best in your journey!:thumbup:

Make that THREE Philly folk LOL! I work within walking distance from Hahnemann (live in NJ). Small world!

I haven't had experience with Hahnemann, but the co-owner of my company's husband is a doctor there. (And I was born at Jeanes Hospital :-))

I live in NJ also - I work at 20th & Markert - how about you guys? Where in NJ - I'm in Mullica Hill.
