We unfortunately had a five night stay at the NICU over the Thanksgiving holiday. The staff provided excellent care to our kid and were extremely compassionate to us as parents. We were grateful for the private sleep rooms and shower, and they even had a free Thanksgiving dinner for everyone. The parent / family lounges have places to grab coffee and store food, and everything is very clean and organized. The doctors and nurses were very communicative and kept us in the loop the entire time.

Absolute terrible service , my child who has a seizure disorder and potential c- diff was made to wait in the ER for 3 and half hours plus without even being properly triaged . She didn’t receive a wrist band , at any point & we can run the cameras back , no one was alerted to her allergies , there was no band received for that as it typically is .. and she begin to have diarrhea thru the long wait due to the virus she’s had the past week and in turn she begin to get worked up and her fever returned . I asked how much longer the wait would be abd for an approximate timeline .. as I’ve observed plenty of patents come in after one in which I knew personally with less servere circumstances… literally come and go and my child was still suffering in the ER … the Nurse on duty was unaccomidating and almost seemingly unwilling to engage .. as I waited for some kind of answer on when my severely sick child would be seen . I asked if it would be more then another 30 mins and he said he couldn’t promise but shouldn’t be . Well it was . After 45 mins of them calling more then 3 patients who arrived after us .. I reluctantly decided it best to take my fevering , baby who now was covered in feces home.. as she was in her 3rd bowel movement and we had difficulty changing her in the nasty public restroom . I ultimately watched them call two more patients who had come after us exhibiting no signs of eminite health scares then I ordered our ride so I could take my child home to change her and give her medicine to help reduce fever and prevent seizure . I am pissed and very upset that my child and I spent. 3 plus hours we can’t get back in the ER after already being across the street at the Berger building for 3 hours prior this was wayy less then pleasant
This is the second poor experience in this particular Emergency Dept but this is the first time it was so horribly handled that I had to leave with not only an even sicker baby then I arrived with . She still now will have to go to another ER to be seen .. because she did infact have a seizure once we got home from her fever that arose& I informed them but that did nothing to medicate the situation or get her seen. Now my kid is home fevering still sick potentially has c-diff and I am skeptical to return her to this terrible hospital because they haven’t even returned my call. I called to speak with charge nurse after filing formal complaint and was told by Jennifer in WR I could not speak to any charge nurse and then she took my information and said a nurse on duty would call back and it’s been an hour with out a returned call. This is negligence and unprofessionalism tht promoted us to leave in the first place and CHOP is looking at a pretty decent lawsuit if we do go to another practice and something is severely wrong with my child with so much documented instances of me trying to get her helper seen and have a team leader consult about next steps. This place wasted my time , cash as it’s costed money I didn’t have to travel to and from and I felt like the poor treatment was racially motivated , as as kid who came in after us was pulled to the back cuz her mother told them she was seizing but I was looking at the child. Who literally just had woke out her sleep. This place is incompetent , and of all the amazing experiences we’ve had here . Today ultimately casted a shadow on them all and I will be contacting the PA board of insurance aswell to file a formal complaint because they need to do better on managing and transparency in the ER wait times. We got there at 12:15 and didn’t receive a text saying my child’s room was ready until 4:15 pm that’s 4 freaking hours for a child who had 2 seizures in past week, has a virus, and cold and caught fever while there … when she has a history of febrile seizures … 0/10 would not recommend. Shame on u all

Very friendly staff and amazing doctors. The information desk is very helpful. The front lobby is well designed and honestly fun to be in due to it's design: there is a meandering ramp that goes up several stories with interesting interactive stops on the way. The lobbies on each floor are also all well laid out: they have great views outside and inside were designed with children and comfort in mind. The plaza out front and the cafeteria/Cafe are both relaxing places to recharge.

My brother was in this hospital because he had appendicitis and had to get surgery and He said the nurse was nice! I think this place is really nice because it's clean and Its nice looking, I know that because I was there to visit him in the hospital. I also want to thank you for saving my Brother before more consequences happened to him and that he could've died.. but thank God this hospital was there! Once again, thank you for saving him🙏🤍 Also I definitely Recommend this place if you want nice doctors and want to feel less anxious and comfortable here.👍

I used to like this hospital, but every year it gets worse. The ambulance is very slow, you never know how long you will have to wait. Even when Covid was officially over, they still only allowed one parent into the waiting room, but two inside the room, what was the point. But this year they managed to upset me even more. I brought my son who had a leg injury, they did an x-ray and said that it was a severe bruise, despite the fact that the leg was blue and swollen. They gave him a hard boot and crutches (thank you for that). A week later, at a follow-up appointment with the therapist, a second x-ray showed that the leg was broken. Seriously? That is, they did not see the leg fracture in the first picture. How? How can you then trust them regarding other diagnoses? What if they missed something? But this is not the end of the story. The next step was to put a cast on my son’s leg. We were given a referral for an emergency visit to an orthopedist. I called to make an appointment and was told that they could see us in four weeks. To which I objected that after four weeks the leg cast is usually removed and that there was no point in this appointment. So think twice about whether you really want to go to this hospital.

This hospital isn't what it used to be! It seems to be loosing patient focus and fast. We've been a CHLA family for 11 years and I think it's time to switch. My autistic son was SCHEDULED for Dental Surgery. Originally it was supposed to be at 1pm and us be here at 11am. When we got the call from the nurse last night that we needed to be here at 530 AM we were like no one told us! But we got here right on time. We'll let me tell you that they took him upstairs to Surgery PreOp it took over 4 hours to get him into the the surgery room, because he needed to be admitted after surgery and no beds were available. This hospital needs to have better planning for these types of things OBVIOUSLY there will be emergencies that come in over night THAT SHOULD'VE ALREADY BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR!!! Maybe you need more staff and more beds!!! Because to have a child basically starving because you couldn't plan Accordingly is just plainly ridiculous! Then when I spoke to the Charge Nurse in the Surgery Dept she tells me that if my autistic son has an outburst that the anesthesiologist and nurse are there to help give him something to calm down. So basically if my son has an autistic outburst they will just drug him up. I'm like realistically drugging my son just to calm him down because your hospital didn't plan accordingly is uncalled for and unnecessary! Again I am seriously contemplating switching hospitals even though my son is on the Heart Transplant List!!! -A Frustrated Autistic Heart Mom

Have been passed around from test to test for 3 months trying to get clearance for surgery without any treatment for my condition. Seems like all they want to do is test and not treat problems. Impossible to contact doctors offices by phone. Ordered tests without telling me. Asked for referral to hand surgeon and they sent me to shoulder specialist. Asked for referral to ear doctor and they sent me to throat doctor. Did multiple tests on heart and all good but they are ordering more tests. Think they are more interested in generating revenue than healthcare

Went to their emergency room during the pandemic and it was a joke. They had adults in the pediatric emergency area, and their doctor didn't take my pain seriously, no testing was done aside from palpitation of the area. No blood tests, or imaging just urine analysis. Lately, they've also made their billing services fully remote, but no one picks up the phone. I recieved a letter stating that my insurance didn't pay for something in February and to call if I had any questions about the bill but it's been 2 weeks without any response. Online it shows no outstanding bills so it's really confusing.

My first bad experience, I have been admitted here several times and my stay had always been good, until today that I already have 6 days admitted with my son here we had a double room where the first nights I was touched by very decent and respectful people, the last two nights I have been touched by a couple with their son who leave the light on until late at night, they spend the day in phone calls and with a very inadequate tone of voice, the husband stays to sleep and has an awful snoring because those that are very difficult For me and my baby to have rest time! I talked to the manager who didn't do anything, I don't talk to people or take the delicacy to even see if she could move us to another room I don't care if it was with another person maybe they weren't as indecent as these which the sick people have told her that please if they can keep their composure and they don't even change! The truth is that I would have liked to have another person to help me and be more condescending with the situation, because I have seen empty rooms since last night even double, but according to the person I spoke they were not available! I'm still here and I can't take a break! As a hospital you need to put some rules like do not let man stay at least in double bedrooms, do not permit loudly noise in the room and for the residents on the rooms to keep respect to others and peaceful space appropriate for recovering!

This review reflects my treatment experience at Massachusetts General Hospital--Northampton Massachusetts branch. (MGH now includes various branches across the state via purchase and merger.)
I had a rather serious emergency room visit and immediate admission to the hospital after a routine lab test showed a very serious and unexpected kidney malfunction. (Blood creatinine -- a toxin -- at 6.3 mg/dl. This is about 5 times normal. And is a very serious health condition, indicating kidney failure, and my GP's office told to get to an ER right away.)
Firstly, let me report that the nursing staff was very good. A bunch of nurses, and also some enthusiastic young nursing students, well equipped for their profession, with a real caringness.
Ditto, the physicians in the emergency room and hospital. I think many of them were residents and interns, and they did a good job.
Where the hospital really messed up, is that they rushed to get me out the door, and it sent me, who they knew lives alone, home while in a fainting-prone condition.
I was in the hospital for about 3 days, and on the first day actually fainted. I continually told the staff during my stay that I felt woozy, and prone to fainting if discharged.
The discharge coordinator had initially told me that if I were in the hospital for 3 days and it was unsafe to return me home, then a standard option with the Medicare I have would be to discharge me to a nursing home for a bit, so I didn't fall, etc.
During my stay, a physical therapist walked me down the hall, then up and down 5 stair steps two times. I informed him I felt dizzy after the first up and down trip, so he brought a chair, I sat on it, until I was able to walk up and down those 5 steps the second time.
Despite this, the physical therapist apparently wrote his report indicating I was not eligible to be transferred to a nursing home.
On discharge, I protested that I felt like I may faint at home. I also pointed out a special medical reason I might faint: to prevent further kidney damage, the hospital had withdrawn, and told me to not resume treatment with, a drug that had been given to me for the last 23 years to control fainting. (Unknown to me at the time, there was an additional medical reason for me to faint. The hospital at started me on, and told me to remain on, tamsulosin=flomax, a drug whose prescribing information has conspicous warnings about it causing fainting.)
The person making the decision, (a P.A. and not a physician) insisted he could not send me to a nursing home as the physical therapist had deemed me home-ready. So they sent me directly home on about the 3rd day.
Anyway, I got home. At day 2 home, I actually did faint. (No injury to me that I can detect. I bent up at least one plastic bottle that was on my bathroom floor, and urine spilled over the floor as I was emptying the urine bag, but there was no detected injury to me.)
Anyway, the Massachusetts General Hospital visiting nurse was here the same day I fainted, and really was uncomfortable that I was at home. As was the nurse-practitioner at my family practice. Further, the MGH visiting nurse on that day measured my blood pressure, and found it dangerously low and she noted there was a risk of fainting with this low blood pressure. However, we all decided if I took an ambulance to the ER, they would likely just keep me waiting for 10 or 12 hours, decide I had no critical medical needs, and send me home at 2 in the morning, with no available way for me to get home.
--
It's now over a week that I've been home. I fainted the 2nd day home, as reported above, and over about the next week the faintness has subsided, so I no longer feel at high risk of fainting.
But I feel that P.A. at Massachusetts General really goofed in discharging me to home rather than for a few days first at a nursing home. If my faint at home had gone differently, I could have been really seriously and permanently injured.

My wife was operated on 10/19. Our stay from then on and through the weekend was the best hospital experience to date. We especially want to comend the staff. Our nurse Lauren Schmidt was the happiest and most cheerful which flowes right to the patients making us feel great. All the staff was great.

This hospital is WAY too busy to help you in a reasonable amount of time. I went in with terrible pain in my left side and SEVEN HOURS later…and multiple tests including repeat ones…and NO results yet! You haven’t eaten ALL day…they don’t care! It’s crazy! It’s also VERY gross! My room had dried blood on the wall…it was SO disturbing that my sister put some gloves on…got some towels and washed it off with Purcell!! Just yuck!

I also pointed out a special medical reason I might faint: to prevent further kidney damage, the hospital had withdrawn, and told me to not resume treatment with, a drug that had been given to me for the last 23 years to control fainting. (Unknown to me at the time, there was an additional medical reason for me to faint. The hospital at started me on, and told me to remain on, tamsulosin=flomax, a drug whose prescribing information has conspicous warnings about it causing fainting.)
The person making the decision, (a P.A. and not a physician) insisted he could not send me to a nursing home as the physical therapist had deemed me home-ready. So they sent me directly home on about the 3rd day.
Anyway, I got home. At day 2 home, I actually did faint. (No injury to me that I can detect. I bent up at least one plastic bottle that was on my bathroom floor, and urine spilled over the floor as I was emptying the urine bag, but there was no detected injury to me.)
Anyway, the Massachusetts General Hospital visiting nurse was here the same day I fainted, and really was uncomfortable that I was at home. As was the nurse-practitioner at my family practice. Further, the MGH visiting nurse on that day measured my blood pressure, and found it dangerously low and she noted there was a risk of fainting with this low blood pressure. However, we all decided if I took an ambulance to the ER, they would likely just keep me waiting for 10 or 12 hours, decide I had no critical medical needs, and send me home at 2 in the morning, with no available way for me to get home.
--
It's now over a week that I've been home. I fainted the 2nd day home, as reported above, and over about the next week the faintness has subsided, so I no longer feel at high risk of fainting.
But I feel that P.A. at Massachusetts General really goofed in discharging me to home rather than for a few days first at a nursing home. If my faint at home had gone differently, I could have been really seriously and permanently injured.

My wife was operated on 10/19. Our stay from then on and through the weekend was the best hospital experience to date. We especially want to comend the staff. Our nurse Lauren Schmidt was the happiest and most cheerful which flowes right to the patients making us feel great. All the staff was great.

This hospital is WAY too busy to help you in a reasonable amount of time. I went in with terrible pain in my left side and SEVEN HOURS later…and multiple tests including repeat ones…and NO results yet! You haven’t eaten ALL day…they don’t care! It’s crazy! It’s also VERY gross! My room had dried blood on the wall…it was SO disturbing that my sister put some gloves on…got some towels and washed it off with Purcell!! Just yuck!

Easily the most efficient medical facility I have ever stepped foot in. Everyone is friendly and professional…the campus is a very nice place to spend time if you have to spend the whole day for a bunch of testing. Food service has recently been revamped and has dramatically improved. When you consider the volume of people seeking specialized medical care IN ADDITION TO a very active ER, I find it is nearly miraculous that I have never waited more than 15 minutes past my scheduled appointment time to see my Dr, and that is coming twice a year for the last 7 years. Not once…

The doctors, nurses and workers were all friendly and professional. They would all listen intently to whatever you said or needed and make one feel very comfortable. Truly the best institution of ots kind in the world. Thank you Mayo!

My husband was a heart transplant patient here. One time they failed to give an accurate report for him to adjust his warfarin accordingly. Subsequently he suffered a stroke and had to have intracerebral hemorrhage surgery. My husband overlooked a lot of things and this hospital had the nerve to kick him off the transplant list. They called an old number and then said that since they couldn't get in touch with him he was non-complaint. I gathered so much proof to show that they were the ones who made an error. I got all the phone records and proof that we updated his information but it was evident that they just wanted to get rid of him. I wanted to sue so bad but I left them all to God. You should have been in that break up meeting. By the grace of God he got his transplant at an excellent hospital in CA.

We were at Vanderbilt before transferring to Mayo. This has been an amazing experience! It’s like it’s a requirement is to be super nice; Vanderbilt, not so much. I would recommend anyone to come here, and I’m so glad we chose to switch. The doctors, nurses, and even the staff (cafeteria, welcome center, etc) were by far nicer than Vanderbilt. They are so knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. Very impressed!!!

The Mayo Clinic is such a special place! It’s a medical facility that could also be a museum of art museum, history, and architecture. People travel from all over the world to be treated here, but what makes it truly special are the compassionate, skilled, and dedicated employees. I stood outside the Mayo Building and watched bus after bus pull up to the staff entrance - and watched countless everyday heroes get off those buses and go to work performing “miracles” at a place that provides hope to people who need it most.!!

I can’t remember everyone’s names but I did take some down! We loved how kind and helpful her nurse Kaylani was!!! The most important part to us was having a Spanish speaking nurse on staff. My mom only speaks Spanish and it was so comforting to us knowing at night she was left with someone she could understand and communicate with! Thank you to Josephina and Nasthja for taking such good care of my mom! The physical therapist, Ruth is incredible!!! My mom adored her and made us feel confident about taking her home!! Special thank you to KASS, CNA!!!! She provides excellent patient care. Spine and Joint hospital provided quality care!

I will have to say I have a high threshold for pain and do not like taking medication of any kind. I also only visit a medical professional if it is absolutely necessary. I have no problems with the total knee replacement I had done in this facility. The doctor knew how to do it since he had many years of practice. I also worked hard on rehab and was hiking again with a new knee 6 weeks after surgery.
I see most negative reviews here are patients who claim to have pain. My problem with the facility is a lack of communication with the patients, nurses, doctors and administrators. Seven months after the surgery we finally find out they have the wrong email address for me and there is no medical record on file for me. Just a bill for the day I was there with no reason for me to have even been there. I know my insurance was billed for the procedures, but there is no medical records for me to access. So if you expect to get the medications you should while in this facility, it is unlikely. If you would like to know why your are getting billed and for what, this is probably not the place to go. I feel very fortunate to have come out of there in good shape and attribute that to taking care of myself without drugs of any kind. I believe all the good reviews are due to the hospital's policy of asking for a review two days after you leave the hospital. I have waited the full seven months to see how the billing and documentation went. This organization needs tons of help in that department. I will not be going back and don't recommend anyone else should go there.

Want to give a shout out to the nurses and staff on the 17th floor. I was briefly there this past Thursday to pick up my uncle Juan who received treatment. It felt very welcoming and calm on the floor. I am assuming that they were nurses (I apologize if they’re not) as they were sitting in the central location and also running around taking care of patients. When we asked for a wheelchairs, they processed the request with a smile. One of the folks even asked how my day was going and asked about the Buffalo Bills. I know this may sound small but it’s the little things that can make a difference. I had some anxiety coming to visit and was exhausted from my 8 hour drive to get here, but all that went away when I entered the 17th floor of this hospital.

The nurses, admin team, patient care team I have no complaints about.
I dread thinking how the doctors here have handled my Dads care since the very beginning of his AML diagnosis in April.
To begin when he was initially admitted, he received his chemo and was discharged with oral meds that he was told to keep taking upon going home. Doing some basic internet research we discovered he was taking the meds for 20 days longer than he was supposed to. We had a teledoc visit with his doctor, she described it as a “misscommunication” and that he indeed took it weeks longer than he was supposed to.
Also during this period, he was doing outpatient in New Jersey and never had any follow up from his doctor until weeks after discharge his initial diagnosis. I do not think this is standard. He was discharged with no Oncology follow ups scheduled or anything.
When we finally did talk to his Doctor she said to move to a clinical trial that had not been successful on anyone, nor was it even available. She gave him more chemo that did not make any progress towards treating his disease.
To say she was hands off is an understatement. I personally messaged about clinical trials that had success with patients with similar diagnosis and subtypes. We were told to reach out to hospitals that had them while she continuously kept stringing my father along without any real plan besides what was already not working.
I asked about transplants she said it could kill him, now they have no viable plan as the chemo and lung issues (related) are too much to overcome. I continue to seek treatments for him.
In short, I feel like we experienced a 1980s treatment plan, with no creativity or critical thinking applied to treating my Dad. He is a number to (most) of the doctors. They also will scheduled him for blood transfusions once a week on outpatient when he got them daily in the hospital. Extremely frustrating. Their bedside manner was also… abysmal. Offered little hope this whole time and didnt give confidence to other centers that would have been more capable in treating him. I would not recommend MSKCC and wished he went somewhere like Mayo or MD Anderson. Maybe they can be helpful for more straightforward treatment plans, but my Dad has a very rare subtype that made it complicated.
Several doctors come off as thinking they are the end all be all of what is known about my father’s disease. Newsflash - we’re all capable of reading studies that show efficacy of treatments but your heads are too far up your own you know wheres to listen to family. They also give off a vibe of thinking they are the Almighty as well and it breaks my heart to see how they spoke to him and how it affects his mood, graces, and personal outlook.

Couldn't visit my grandpa in the emergency room. I drove an hour to get here and then they tell me there is a 2 visitor limit. There is little to no reception in the building so I couldn't even get in contact with who was in there. I called into the room and when I asked about someone leaving she pretended I didn't even talk to her and went mhm mhm and hung up. I love hospitals that won't let a grandson see his grandfather in the ER

I am deeply thankful for the exceptional care and attention I received during my recent visit to the emergency department at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The doctors and nurses demonstrated genuine concern and provided excellent care for my difficulty swallowing, gastric issues, and rapid weight loss. Their professionalism and compassion made a significant difference during a challenging time. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire medical team for their dedication and outstanding support. Thank you for helping me through this health concern with such skill and kindness.

Couldn't visit my grandpa in the emergency room. I drove an hour to get here and then they tell me there is a 2 visitor limit. There is little to no reception in the building so I couldn't even get in contact with who was in there. I called into the room and when I asked about someone leaving she pretended I didn't even talk to her and went mhm mhm and hung up. I love hospitals that won't let a grandson see his grandfather in the ER

I am deeply thankful for the exceptional care and attention I received during my recent visit to the emergency department at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The doctors and nurses demonstrated genuine concern and provided excellent care for my difficulty swallowing, gastric issues, and rapid weight loss. Their professionalism and compassion made a significant difference during a challenging time. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire medical team for their dedication and outstanding support. Thank you for helping me through this health concern with such skill and kindness.

During my dad's ICU stay at Brigham and Women's Hospital, the nurses provided outstanding care. They kept us informed and made us feel safe throughout a traumatic time for our family. The level of expertise, compassion, and seamless coordination between day and night shifts was remarkable.
My family and I will be forever grateful for Nurse Bryan, Katie, Kayla, and Lauren from Unit 3B.

My wife and I welcomed our first child with John Hopskins and we were treated exceptionally. Our stay lasted 6 days.
Nearly every member of the staff seemed to truly believe in the work they were doing and it instilled confidence in my wife and I.
The student nurses were very helpful and what they may have lacked in experience they made up for in drive and enthusiasm!
Two of the nurses, who helped my wife in labour, even visited us the next day to congratulate us and check up on the status of our child.
It did get busy for the nurses the last few days and we would love to have seen more lactation specialists on staff available to help us but after this incredible experience I will certainly encourage my wife and other parents to include John Hospkins in future family planning.

We had a very nice experience here. Dr Kuwera and staff took perfect care of our toddler. He was competent, thorough and friendly-explaining everything as he went. It’s a large hospital, but with many helpful staff stations throughout, it’s easy enough to find your way around. Must register before entering, which ensures safety. Very thankful for wonderful healthcare.

The phlebotomist used a dirty needle on purpose. She smiled creepily and said this is a special needle for you. Then she left quickly. Do not trust this place whatsoever. The staff also poisoned the food multiple times. and one cook was fired. there are nurses named as defendants in court paperwork, and a trial is pending. they tried to kill me. the nature of the crimes and they commit is such that when they get away with it, they will poison more victims. they get high off, or enjoy each new victim they can poison. the nurses are very aggressive in their ways, and have no remorse when they choose to harm their victims.

On 11/7/2023 During my 5 hour stay the dr and nurses gave me a horrible experience. My monitor was going off for a good while because I had a high heart rate and no one came to check until after 5-10min once the beeping got louder. After couple hours passed and I really needed to urinate, I wait to see if anyone would check on me because I know how busy the hospital gets and after that waiting for a long time and trying to wave down nurses who would just look at me and walk away or say we’ll be there when we can. Yet I seen them just hanging out talking in the hallway of the hospital from time to time. My curtains weren’t closed all the way hence why I could see what they were doing. I ended up urinating all over myself because I couldn’t hold it anymore and I wasn’t able to disconnect myself from my Iv and the other monitor with my blood pressure heart rate and the sticky stuff attached to my body that looked almost like an ekg machine to monitor me. I had to sit in my own urine for about an hour or so till someone came to check on me, I have never felt so neglected in my life. They offered me some wipes to wipe myself and some of the hospital underwear(not real underwear) they had also left a syringe w/o needle on the bed I was laying on. Then upon discharge they gave me my paper work went over everything briefly and disconnected me from the Iv but not the monitor and I was still connected so I had to disconnect myself and take it off. The dr stopped for literally a few seconds saying your labs are good and left. This was my worst experience ever!!

The worst communication.
Terrible gaslighting.
The INEXCUSABLE FILTH in this facility.
It was everywhere.
The waiting room, the bathrooms, the hall was littered with garbage type red biohazard bags.
Even INSIDE my Operating Room...garbage on the floor. When I objected to what I was seeing, they promptly canceled my surgery.
I couldn't get out of that place fast enough...but not before one last gross show of filth, the floor of the elevator was littered with 2x2 gauze pads...soaked in something orange. I quickly pointed it out to my husband so he can see for himself what I was trying to describe. He quickly understood as an employee's foot was standing over some ofthem.
My biggest fears were handled BEAUTIFULLY by this pre-surg staff, they are willing, if able, to accommodate women patients with women doctors/ residents...they allow small gestures of modesty and that is commendable.
And just so you know...all those personal questions they ask you? And all the personal questions you ask them?
EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU...as there only curtains for privacy. HIPAA laws must be out back on a smoke break with the 3 janitors this place employs.
2 thumbs down and shame on you.

I’m a senior with multiple health issues Fire Department ambulance took me to Rush hospital Emergency room. From the security guards to the nurses, very rude and disrespectful tours patients. Security @ rush have a mentality of THUGS on the streets! Saying cuss words to each other. To the nurses, VERY Unprofessional..! My ER Doctors were misguiding me about my medical condition, doctors thought that I have no idea. Shame on them! I got admitted to Rush hospitals, now let me tell you about Rush Hospital food service, so awful bunch of THUGS working there also. I called the kitchen from my room, people that I was talking to for placing my food order were very rude, I felt like rush dining service were angry when I called to place a food order. I WILL NEVER EVER come to this Rush hospital again. I WILL GO TO NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL..!

After 2 trips from Florida to Rush with supporting documents showing omentum distress, and a mass of right soft tissue mass, gynecologists disregarded at Rush dismissed reports, blood Ca125 work, but did perform a CAT scan both in July and September again (2023) unable to perform a biopsy, because I was not an emergency, funny I sat in ER for 13 hours (told them I did not park my Bentley / flew SW, ubered straight to Rush, with Edema only legs, put in room right by the El train, everyday asking about a Biopsy, but they continued to bill Medicare, BCBS, and tell me they couldn’t schedule a biopsy , only to sign myself out, return back to Florida since being deadly sick, since May 2023, I did get back to Florida to a real gynecological oncologist who did schedule an ER biopsy on November 13, when the phone rang at 7:00pm whee he doctor delivered the worst info you can get on the phone, biopsy revealed “ high serous carcinoma” or ovarian cancer with has spread to other organs”. And if you know ovarian cancer, you may know the results/cure rate/ and final outcome. Seven doctors, four hospitals and 7 months of waisted time. Rush is in the “business” not in patient care !
Not sure who running the asylum, not sure if they have too many Chiefs, and not enough medical professionals, who can make a determination of biopsy needs to be done, or just keep her in a room doped up, and keeping billing out for no service. No wonder my life saving Cardiologist left, and we have been together since 2008, saving my life at least five times.
Now thinking I should have uberd myself to Nortwestern.
Rush, you don’t cut the grade anymore, and I find your care neglectful, Liable, and cruel to seniors!
Can’t give me time back, can’t even spare me a Diagnosis, since a biopsy can’t be performed at the Main Campus location. What do you do anymore, I won’t let you clip my dogs nails. If my life is left to less than a year, you will to answer to a higher power and I’m not talking about your morals, ethical, or hippocratic oath.

The Cleveland Clinic is a different breed of hospital from the others I’ve been in. Everyone who participated in my care was thoughtful, well trained, and skillful. They’re a hub for up-to-date practices & medical knowledge. And the practitioners have exceptional levels of experience earned through high volumes of cases. Importantly, the staff seem well supported. So many members of staff went above & beyond. The cleaning staff made an origami elephant out of a towel when I first got there. The dining staff tailored meals for my specific needs and made a surprise cake for my birthday. Transport held good conversations while easily navigating. Nurses, technicians, etc adapted to limiting check-ins/procedures to the certain hours when I asked (to protect sleep). There’s museum quality art on nearly all the walls (good incentive to go on walks in the halls) and nice facilities. There were some bureaucratic challenges when I was first admitted, but in spite of that, I still evangelize to friends & relatives all the time - if you need more serious care, go to the Cleveland Clinic.

This place is a gift from above. It’s absolutely amazing how they put together the teams and staff that they have. My surgeon Dr. Faisal Bakaeen gave me a bypass (CABG) surgery and I cannot thank him enough. His team, the nurses and staff in this hospital from the emergency room to step-down are honestly the nicest people I have ever met in a hospital. They truly care and will not let you leave if your problems are not solved. This place is the real deal, don’t hesitate to get there opinion, I’m so glad that I did. Thank you Dr Bakaeen, you save my life and I will never forget you…

Horrible. Horrible experience!! If at all possible avoid this ER. Thought I was doing the right thing by calling 911 for my mother in order to have her seen asap.that might have been the case… but don’t plan on going back to be with your family member. Seriously! Insane the way I was treated. I begged everyone I could to please let me back there to be with my 78 yo mother. “Sorry.. not protocol” zero care from anyone I spoke to. No one cared that my mom was crying for me. They all just kept telling me it’s protocol to wait for an assigned doctor, that they were extremely busy. Well.. I keep pressing the issue and was finally allowed back. To an empty room, almost empty ER.. zero doctors around. Not busy as all. Disgusting the way I was treated. Horrible
They literally coukd care less. I’m sick to my stomach over how bad it went down

This was going to be a 1 star initially. My wife had two surgeries this past week on Tuesday and Thursday. The Tuesday experience was horrifying due to being bumped back several times. To make it worse I reiterated to the staff that due to a back condition my wife was unable to get dressed without assistance and they assured me they would take care of it. When I was brought back to see her she wasn't in her bay in recovery and I was told she was in the bathroom getting dressed. I went to the bathroom and found her almost on the floor due to her condition combined with anesthesia. When we returned Thursday for back surgery I refused to let her stay in this facility post op. I spoke with her neurologist after surgery and he spoke with the supervisor of the department. Keep in mind not one call had been returned about our complaint from Tuesday. I was initially told I wasn't allowed to see her, but Louis brought me back to see her. I spent some time with her and Louis took me to Steve who is the supervisor of the department. We collectively spoke and Steve had to take a call regarding the matter from his administrator. We went over everything and my wife was given the best possible care after our conversation. Sometimes an error needs to be pointed out and when it was it was definitely met with positive feedback and follow through. Louis called me the next morning early because he went to her floor before reporting to his. That's service!!

I went to the emergency room for swollen ankles, which my wife was convinced was DVT from a plane trip. It turned out that it was super-high blood pressure.
They saw me immediately, with a less than 10 minute wait. I had to wait around for about six hours until the medication they gave me lowered my blood pressure to safe levels, but that was understandable under the circumstances.
All-in-all a very reasonable ER visit. The staff was pleasant, competent, and attentive. No complaints. I've been in some far worse ER rooms, but very few that were better.

I was initially told I wasn't allowed to see her, but Louis brought me back to see her. I spent some time with her and Louis took me to Steve who is the supervisor of the department. We collectively spoke and Steve had to take a call regarding the matter from his administrator. We went over everything and my wife was given the best possible care after our conversation. Sometimes an error needs to be pointed out and when it was it was definitely met with positive feedback and follow through. Louis called me the next morning early because he went to her floor before reporting to his. That's service!!

I went to the emergency room for swollen ankles, which my wife was convinced was DVT from a plane trip. It turned out that it was super-high blood pressure.
They saw me immediately, with a less than 10 minute wait. I had to wait around for about six hours until the medication they gave me lowered my blood pressure to safe levels, but that was understandable under the circumstances.
All-in-all a very reasonable ER visit. The staff was pleasant, competent, and attentive. No complaints. I've been in some far worse ER rooms, but very few that were better.

Worst emergency room I’ve been to. It’s been 3 hours since anyone said anything to my husband and that was only to draw more blood. Nurse was exceptionally rude and dismissive. It’s 11:45 pm and we got here at 6 pm. They aren’t telling anyone a thing! I will not recommend this emergency room ever.

If I could give this hospital a 0 I would. The nursing care here on the 4th floor so far has been awful for my daughter. Just basic care and concern for patients would be appreciated. Hoping the night crew is better. The nurses are all out at the desk laughing it up and sharing their phone pics. No that I care about that but shouldn’t the patients come first? I’m afraid to leave my adult daughter here and go home because I’m not sure they will even check on her. Seriously. There are 2 people in this room. The patient next to my daughter hasn’t moved in the 3 hours we’ve been in here and no one has checked on her either. I asked for a pillow multiple times and they keep saying they’ll bring it but no one does. It’s not like I’m asking for an extra pillow. She has NO pillow. She needs her arm(that she had surgery on) elevated and I used a blanket. Really? I had to put a blanket behind her head. Thank goodness there are plenty of those on this desk by her bed. A stack of probably 8 blankets for some reason. Very disappointed Cleveland Clinic.

This is the absolute worst hospital in Cleveland this place beats out Marymount for the worst! I brought my 85 year old father here with chest pains at 11:30 am and at 6:30 pm we were STILL WAITING! No one came out to give us updates and when we went to the window to ask questions it was like nobody could understand the words that were coming out of my mouth! I'm pretty should I wasn't speaking in tongues but nevertheless we got no answers. UNLESS YOU ARE BLEEDING OUT I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY DON'T GO TO EITHER 1 OF THESE HOSPITALS! THANK GOD MY HEALTH CARE TAKES ME TO UH WHERE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED NOTHING LIKE THIS!

One problem they are here to make money. All three doctors didn't review meds. I complained about side effects. They don't care. They take 10min and they run away. Complete fraud!!!! Doctors upstairs do not take time to study and you can't locate them. They hide!!! This is not right. doctors need to be available all the time on each floor!!!! All doctors are new. No experience

My wife is currently a patient. She flew from Our home in Mexico to get treated for cancer at supposedly one of the top 5 cancer hospitals in US. The friendly and efficient staff, good food service and spacious room are the only reasons for the 3 stars. But though she was found to have cancer in 6 areas of her body, she never saw an oncologist or any specialist for that matter during her stay. All they do here is diagnostic tests, that you have to repeatedly ask for results. All specialists are seen at clinics spread all over LA. :No treatment is done for in patients" one doctor said. So, now we have to waste precious days running all over the place to get a firm diagnosis which they were unable to do at UCLA Santa Monica. They said they did not do biopsies here. We have had experience at a number of smaller hospitals in various parts of the country and the specialist always came to the patient, and biopsies were done at the hospital. This hospital is a "gas guzzling" machine. Not at all patient centered. Really, really bad system. Look for another hospital. More...just saw a specialist at a clinic who said the hospital does do biopsies and not sure why it wasn't done.

Overall my experience was satisfactory. Dr. Peter was so professional and courteous. However, one of his assistants charged with cleaning up my facial wounds didn't read my chart and proceeded to push hard enough to wipe dried blood off of my nose before I winced in pain. Her response was "the stitches are up here, not on the side", to which my reply was "I have a fractured nose. Didn't you read my chart before you started treating me???". Everyone else was very professional and compassionate. Please teach the assistants to read the chart before they start pressing on fractured bones. It's not a big ask. Thanks, Dr. Peter and the rest of the staff!

Went in for a full left hip replacement with Dr Jacob Drew. My interactions with him and his staff were always positive. He took the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions that I had. He even called to check in the night before my surgery. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a hip or knee replacement.

My son came into Dukes with near death issues. I want to thank the kidney team, the liver team the attending doctors, nurses, housekeepers, kitchen help, if I forgot anyone I’m so sorry. They saved my sons life. I don’t even know how much you all mean to me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Best of wishes to all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Duke has reached a new low in Health Care. I'd give them stars in the minus categories if I could. My son had eye surgery and every time we went for an appointment we waited over 2 hours to be seen. I can tell you I read 150 pages of a book on one visit. We actually saw people leave without being seen because they had waited so long. My son objected to the long wait one day and was told by the surgeon that he was ruining her day. Because of the wait he asked to talk to the manager or an administrator. While waiting the police came made him leave because they said he raised his voice. He was not allowed to talk to the administrator and was escorted out. This is not the first problem we have had with Duke. My son was in the emergency room waiting for the specialist on call when the Emergency Doctor came in and told him that the specialist on call was already home and refused to come in to see him. We were told he should go to the specialist's off the next day. We did that and he was seen for less than 10 minutes and told to go back to another doctor. Seems the specialist could have cut through the chase and just told us that to begin with.
My impression is that almost every one in the hospital system is very impressed with themselves and seems to think it below them to interface and deal with patient who have some real problems. I can, in no way, recommend any Duke Service. I could continue with examples but it would sound repetitive.
I practiced Nursing for 45 years and never came up against any care that is this poor in quality. Giving them -5.

There is good and bad. I recently gave birth at Duke University Hospital and I want to say that my experience with Doctor Clifford, and nurses Lexi, Brenna, Tabitha, Josephine among others was phenomenal. I was blown away by the care and compassion I received so I will say it was a four star experience. However, I have one major complaint about the experience and feel it's important enough to try to voice it. The postnatal recovery rooms are terrible. They are the size of walk in closets and if you have a support person such as your husband staying with you, they have to sleep on what is essentially an airplane chair. My husband could not do it, and it made the end of my experience at Duke hard because I needed him there with me. I felt like me and my baby were locked in a cell and I was going crazy by the time I was discharged. Thank god I was discharged early. There were many people coming in and out of my closet those last few days and nights, and it was definitely too many people. After receiving an emergency C section, I felt I was improperly educated on the repercussions. I had no idea I would have trouble producing milk after my blood loss in surgery and I was not informed about any of the medication I was prescribed. Again, it would have helped if my husband could have been there because maybe I actually was given information but was too out of it for it to sink in.
