17 Thoracic surgery clinics in United States

Without a doubt, the BEST hospital in NYC! Even the food was good. I was there for three days, and everyone was very nice, accommodating, polite, efficient, caring and professional. Even after I was released, the doctors called me at home to check on me, or called me straight back if I left a message. Really first rate treatment!

The ER room is a real joke. They have no system. They make you wait 5-6 hours before they even treat you. No one is taking charge. A true example of horrible medical attention. You’ll wait 8 hours to get a room if you need one. They discuss your medical condition in a waiting room next to everyone. It’s embarrassing. Never again to this place. Never. They should be shut for.

Horrible hospital, some of the older less funded hospitals really get a bad wrap compared to this place. It's supposed to be one of the best in the city but that's if you're in a particular tax bracket. The staff is just pure trash, unfeeling, uncaring...the list could go on. During the pandemic they were swept under an avalanche and rose to the occasion. This I will admit, but post pandemic we the patients are left to fend with burned out, inconsiderate service that needs an overhaul. I get it we're all suffering on both ends, but must patients suffer mistreatment and an absence of care coupled with life threatening illnesses when it isn't necessary?

My daughter's surgeon was amazingly incredible. We are 9 hours in and I get an update from him every hour. Love her surgical team.

We are so very lucky to have Duke Medical Center in our city and community . After a recent visit to the emergency room and admission our treatment was excellent. The staff in the emergency Room and in cardiology were excellent. Thank you for your treatment and your expertise. Valet parking was so kind and accommodating . Transport service did just as well. I say Go to Duke for your health care. Thank you Duke Medical Center you are number one in my book.

Amazing hospital. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The doctors were vigilant to ensure they covered all bases before releasing my husband from care. Thorough is an understatement. As I navigated the building, staff readily escorted me so I wouldn’t get lost. The nurses are top notch, knowledgeable and supportive. No rock goes unturned. State of the art equipment ensured my husband got the best evaluation available. I will never go to an average hospital again after this experience. It is your choice where to go when there isn’t a bed or you need a referral, don’t let anyone let you think otherwise. With the healthcare system stressed as it is in America, insist on going to Duke or what’s comparable in your area.

Excellent hospital, exceptional care. My mother in law was seen here as a pre-op liver transplant patient. She had multiple complications during her stay. The staff was phenomenal and found ways to treat each issue as it arose. We were able to stay the night in her room (except in ICU) and visit 24 hours a day. Many stores & restaurants within walking distance. Top of the line, cutting-edge treatments available to patients. Staff is kind and competent. Unfortunately, my mother in law was too sick to receive a new liver. The staff was so compassionate as we took turns saying our goodbyes. We are forever grateful for the care she received here.

We just had a family member go through the Transplant ICU at this hospital. The doctors, nurses, technicians and staff were amazing. Even the level of care that they showed us when our loved one passed, was beyond words. They set up the room beautifully, with little electric candles and music, so that we could say our goodbyes.

The best hospital I have been hospitalized here three times and the truth is they have always treated me very well the doctors are very professional and the nurses too, I am a transplant patient here I received my kidney transplant twelve years ago and I am doing very well thanks this hospital is Like my second home when I come to appointments I don't want to leave I will always be grateful for everything that the doctors and nurses have done for me and my family THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART

I went into the BWH spine center around a year ago concerned that something might be wrong with my neck. I was assigned a PA who was in their first year. They apparently didn't know what they were doing because ever since that day I have experienced significantly more pain and discomfort. Before that day, the pain levels were tolerable without any drugs or injections or whatever. Now I rarely get a normal nights sleep and many days are near unbearable. I tried using the BWH patient complaint system to voice my concerns about my situation but they never got back to me even after I tried calling twice. I've had doctor visits before where they don't really offer help and that is often understandable. I've never before had a visit make my situation worse and then be ghosted when I complain. I wish I had never gone in for that appointment that day.

Today my father had a gastric tube replacement procedure and we ran into several unexpected obstacles. Dr. Geoffrey Anderson and Physician's Assistant Gabrielle Guetta we're phenomenal! They were both highly competent and compassionate, not to mention patient and delivered the highest quality of care to my father. It was quite a traumatic ordeal, so we are extremely pleased with the both of them and the level of care they deliver. We highly recommend this hospital to all

This hospital has gone from a 5 to a zero in my book. I went to pick up my niece and her new bundle of joy. They told her to be ready she’ll leaving by noon, as I’m typing still, Waiting for them to come out . 2hrs later is absurd. And still waiting . This hospital has went to dirt. Don’t have your baby here. lazy all about the $.. Do Better.

My mother in law has been battling stage 4 cancer and we have been frequent guests. The hospital is a bit outdated. The staff seem tired and overworked. However that does not hinder this being one of the best medical research hospitals in the world.

Everybody from the Lifeline team (got transferred from another area hospital to Hopkins) to the nurses and doctors were great! Everybody was very kind and caring and went above and beyond. The thoracic team checked in everyday and gave updates and the surgery went smoothly. I felt like I was in good, caring hands my entire stay.

You may need to retrain a nurse on your staff, nurse Kimberly Heinrich has a horrible nasty attitude,shows no compassion, caring,kindness, patience or understanding. Not sure what she's going though in her life, but it's definitely showing how she treats other people coming from a parent who had lost their child to a horrible accident. This person definitely does not need to be working in the medical field she doesn't know how to talk and or treat other people..Sad world we're in. A little bit of kindness goes a long way.

I usually don’t write reviews - if I have bad experience with something I usually just move on with my life. However, once you deal with medical emergencies it’s a different story. We usually go to either Scripps at Torrey Pines or Scripps Mercy and have always been treated with kindness and respect. This time we ended up at Scripps La Jolla Emergency Room - big mistake! We came here for an emergency with my wife. We literally just experienced a major loss in hour lives and my wife’s Dad also got diagnosed with advanced cancer. In other words we’re dealing with a lot right now and the last thing we need is being treated like garbage by some nurse (unfortunately I don’t have her name) who just has a major attitude problem. No formal greeting or welcome, just snappy, disgusting attitude towards people who come to this hospital for help. The rudeness continued once we were about to be checked in. Unbelievable snappiness and attitude. And yes I did call her out on it which I assume no one has ever done before. Anyways, after this encounter I took my wife to another emergency room because it is unacceptable to treat emergencies like that. We’re paying a lot of money for our health insurance and being treated like some worthless… is just not acceptable. It’s not acceptable anywhere but specifically not in the medical field. I am so disappointed in Scripps and am now considering to take our business elsewhere. I will also file an official grievance as well.

I had my first surgery experience here and I am so grateful I had it with these amazing people. I had a complication with my pregnancy and needed surgery. I was faced with the most difficult decision and these amazing people guided me and took care of me when I was most vulnerable. They showed me so much compassion and kindness. The nurses at labor and delivery department were heaven sent. Laura, made sure that I was understanding everything that was to be done to me and even asked questions for me when I couldn’t even think for myself. She made sure I understood the procedures and the risks that come with them. Julie, was the most patient and understanding. She took care of me when I was healing and trying to recover. She was there for me when I was unsure what’s about to happen to me after the surgery. She gave me peace and reassurance that everything was going well and all that I’m experiencing is normal and even shared her own experience. She was so gentle and knew how to make me feel comfortable. Julie was like a mom to me and really took care of me as if I was family. Courtney, was new in the labor and delivery department but felt like she’s been doing it for forever. Courtney was the one that took care of me during the surgery. She was there with me every step of the way. During the worst time when I was feeling the most pain.. I held her hand and cried on her shoulders like a little kid. I was so drugged up with the anesthesia and was so scared and everything I was feeling was my first time but she was there with me and I can honestly say that during that time she gave me strength. Just her being with me gave me so much relief during one of the most difficult and scariest time of my life. Also Dr. Starikov was amazing. He’s very direct to the point and straight forward and he makes sure that you understand everything. He uses simple words and even draws you pictures to make sure that you know what he’s talking about and you don’t get lost in medical vocabulary. He guided me through my decision making with his knowledge and experience. He’s a little scary at first but once you get to talk to him a couple of times, he even jokes around. You could really feel how much he cares and wants the best for you. I am very thankful for the wonderful experience that Scripps’ staff gave me. I’ve always had the highest respect for our medical professionals but when they really go above and beyond, thats what separates them from just being professional to actual heroes.

This what I get to eat at breakfast. Just had open heart surgery and I am diabetic. Cafe simply doesn’t answer ph. Funny on hold message , receiving high numbers of call”. This is a lie. Scripps doesn’t sell to general public. Great hospital but very poor chef and his team. I called multiple times and stayed on hold for 45 min , 10 min, and 30 min. Lost the energy and hung up. May be it’s a way to save money to starve patients and not give them food. The President is sleeping at the helm. Be aware before going. You will not get food.

My sister had procedure done their and I had to pick her up, the doctor called and said be their in two hours after battling the boston traffic i arrived 15 minutes early and was told to wait at the entrance for 30 minutes and they will call me to come up but after a hour i had the front desk call upstairs and they told her it would be another hour. So i decide to go to the calf for something to eat and waited in line to watch if your a employee of mass general you get to skip the line and order and talk to the people working there so i just said they aren't going to get my money and left bad enough i have to pay more and more for parking.

I worked here for about five years and my experience here shaped the rest of my life. I worked primarily in the emergency department and it was the nurses I worked with who inspired me to continue my education. After graduating nursing school I accepted a position closer to home though maybe one day I will find my way back here. Until then, I can assure you will be in great hands.

I believe this probably was once an amazing hospital. However, when I went for treatment of a chronic condition it was borderline negligent. Previously I was followed at Children’s Hospital and Boston and it was amazing I had exceptional care. At Mass General I waited in a chair in a hallway for 8 hours for treatment of a GI bleed. I was not allowed water yet did not have IV fluids during those entire 8 hours. Then I finally got an ER room. The GI doctors told me I would have a procedure to stop the bleeding first thing in the morning. It is now 12:00 and apparently I am not even scheduled for anything. Oh and my “room” is the waiting room. I feel worse then when I entered the hospital. If possible please please go elsewhere. It is a nightmare here.

I moved to Jacksonville 7 years ago and my wife and I have been fortunate that all of our care is done by Mayo doctors. Without exaggerating EVERY interaction with the doctors and staff have been first class. They take the time to complete thorough diagnoses and make sure we are satisfied with the conversation. We have both experienced the ER which is like no other. They are very attentive and make sure you are as comfortable as possible with quick and accurate treatment. I can only equate it to the Ritz Carlton of hospitals. If you use the patient portal your test results are usually posted the same day or next morning. Even on Saturday!! The hype about Mayo Clinic is true. If you want the best it may take a minute to get in but well worth the wait!!

This review is regarding care received in the ER, I can’t speak to the facility beyond this. While I can’t say I’ve ever been happy to be in an emergency room, I was definitely happy we were near Jacksonville Mayo Clinic when I needed one! An unexpected medical emergency during our travels meant, rather than waiting until we were home, I needed care right away and the care I received was fantastic. Despite its size the facility is easy to navigate, inside and out, and once inside they have such a streamlined process that I was through reception, admissions, triage, and in a room faster than I’ve ever even had my information taken at hospitals back home. Once in the room there’s a screen displaying any labs/tests ordered, where in the process those are, who is seeing you, and basically any important information you could need. It removed any of the “I wonder” guesswork which is invaluable when you’re already feeling anxious and unwell. Even the bathroom for providing a sample was set up with extra toiletries and comfort in mind. Everyone was so friendly, not only to my husband and I but each other as well. They worked great as a team which I’m sure is part of why things run so smoothly. A few people who had already finished their part of my care would stop by when they passed my door to ask how it was going or offer me blankets, it was really just above and beyond. My doctor explained everything very clearly and eased my concerns without invalidating them. They gave me instructions for what was next and once home I set up my patient portal. Even that had me impressed with how clear and concise it all was. The whole experience was outstandingly positive and left me with the realization that hospitals where I live desperately need improving and updating. While I hope to never end up there again, it was hands down the best experience in any medical facility I have ever had and I cannot recommend them enough!

Gorgeous campus and excellent care. I was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff at all levels from the security guard to the clinicians. Radiology department is impressive with 16 new MRIs! Makes sense why they are the Number One hospital in Florida! As someone with fellowship training from Cleveland Clinic I know excellence in healthcare and Mayo Clinic Florida lives up to the Mayo reputation. The Courtyard Marriott is right on campus for added conveince. Parking in the garage is $5 all day and only $8 to valet or free on surface lots.

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 had 7 uterine fibroids removed by Dr Khan. Well done. No complications. After six weeks I was back in gym doing great. Dr khan is the best. Great doctor. Nurse Logan day shift and Susan night took good care of me.!!

The Cleveland Clinic does not verify insurance as they should before booking an appointment. I have stellar insurance that pays 100% of physical therapy appointments, however, it’s with a third party insurance company. I made an appointment with the clinic, which by the way was not worth my time, only to be left with a nearly $700 bill since they don’t accept my insurance. I was given false information and the billing department wouldn’t even submit the bill to the proper insurance company so I could appeal. After years of being a dedicated patient, it’s time to move on to a more competent facility.

I have been there many times, very nice staff ! Nice artwork displayed there! Highly recommend Cleveland Clinic to anyone! Beautiful campus! Starbucks and subways, Panera Bread and Aladdin’s, gift shops inside of the hospital! So nice and convenient for the staff and public !

For the past 2 and 1/2 years, my mom has been in and out of the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. They talk about being a world-class hospital, but if you are Black and come from a modest economic background, you don't get world class treatment. The Cleveland Clinic's main campus is one of the worst hospitals in the country. They treat Black people like peasants. Many of their nurses lack diversity, equity, and inclusion training. And they don't care about the well-being of patients, particularly on floor G9. Be careful! There are some good stuff but lot more bad staff

we have been to AR heart hospital several times to care for my husband's heart issues. This hospital hands down is one of the best! Every single nurse we had was so great. They are very skilled and knowledgeable yet so kind at the same time. Shout out to my husbands nurse Greg on floor 3..he took the best care of us. I wish all hospitals and nursing staff would use this one for a template. They surpass expectations in every way. Even the food was great, which usually isn't the case for hospital food.😂 I can't thank AR heart hospital enough for taking care of my guy and helping him feel better. We recommend this hospital and staff to anyone having heart issues..you will not be disappointed in your care here.

Today I had my special needs daughter with me and all of the handicapped accessible parking spots were taken. She is wheelchair bound and our vehicle is equipped with a ramp that requires special parking. A sweet employee named Freddie waited with my daughter in order for me to park in a different location. She even let me use the entrance to unload her. Thank you! Also, my grandfather received excellent care today. Thank you Arkansas Heart! ❤️

$647,302,833 that's what matters to this hospital. Money is what matters. I have been a patient with the Clinic for 18 months and they've done nothing for me. They never even attempted to help me get my hypertension under control. Been in the ER 5 times since October of 2021 never one concern about my concern which is my hypertension. If you are having chest pain, palpitations, sweating, nausea, do you not think something could be wrong with your heart? Tonight my BP is 150/78. After being a patient since October of 2021 does that sound like my health is important. Do I deserve to keep suffering with chest pain? Do I deserve to be gaslighted by doctors who don't listen to my concerns? I thought this hospital was head and shoulders above others here in Central Arkansas but all I see that matters is the 647,000,000... I'm in bed writing this review hurting, scared, and feel like I never really mattered to any person at AHH. Notice there's no response when your review is not positive. Should speak volumes about the priority.

Absolutely fabulous. I am impressed with all staff. Dr Drew took the time to answer all my questions. I felt he truly wants to help and cares for his patients. It was worth the wait for an appointment

My wife just had an emergency appendectomy this week, and the staff did an outstanding job. From the staff in the ER (Samantha was the best!), to the anesthesiology department and the OR team, everyone was so kind and very professional and explained everything so well to us. Not that anyone ever wants to end up in the hospital, but if needed to, you can definitely trust and feel comfortable at Beth Israel

Had to live here for a month due to my high risk pregnancy. The majority of the nurses were terrible not welcoming or caring at all. The flod service was always missing something from my tray. The house keeping was garbage never changed the bed sheets,never cleaned the floor or surfaces only restocked paper towels and toilet paper and they only seemed to show up when I was talking with my dr. That's HIPPA they should not be coming in the room when dr. Or nurses are with you. And the nuses assistants changed my bedsheets but they always smelled like wet dog. It was so nasty. My birth experience was great though. My surgeon was phenominal but I only saw her as they were prepping me for surgery,during surgery,and after surgery once within 24 hours. After that never saw her again. Was there for 3 days after c section. Baby was in NICU for a few weeks the NICU staff was also bad always shifting nurses knowone knows what is going on....they have rotating dr.s since it's a teaching school you never have the same dr. For more then a week and it's hard to connect with a new dr each week. Other problems Like I said house keeping never actually cleaned that also includes the bathroom bring flip flops and your own lysol wipes in a bag like I did since staph infection is very common. There fold trays weigh like 10 pounds and after surgery I was not suppose to lift heavy objects. There shower towels are so small they barely cover your head bring a full size towel but dont leave it in the bathroom house keeping will take it. Bring your own bathroom stuff there stuff barely cleans you. It takes hours to get any tests done like blood work,x rays,ultra sounds.but they rush you when its needed. Bring a fan the rooms get so hot and stuffy the noises will drive you insane beeping from machines. The nurses were so negligent I told them I was in serious pain after surgery not near my incision and they insisted I take oxy. Well I didnt and I'm glad I didnt because I had a serious infection they brushed off and it was there fault from the wet dog bed sheets. Good luck.

If you have the opportunity, go anywhere else! I have never in my life dealt with staff that has been so uncaring and inattentive. I understanding being short-staffed and being spread thin. What I don't understand is the fact that EVERY SINGLE person we have dealt with here has been rude and had an attitude. Every patient here is sick or hurt and the last thing they need is a bunch of overgrown little girls with attitude in there face and being paid to not take care of them. It's very disheartening to think I can't go to the hospital and get the care I need without having someone be rude to me everyone second. I have never experienced anything like this and if I need to come to an ER in the future I will make sure to come anywhere but here.

I was admitted to the ER yesterday and had the most caring staff there. The nurses were great.The PA-C Melissa Patton was so kind and took the time to sit and explain things to me even when they were really busy. She even called to check up on me in the morning which I really appreciated!

Came here while I was in town from another state and everyone was so kinda and the care was excellent. The ER front desk staff who checked me in (I wish I knew their names) were so compassionate and got me checked in quickly. I was taken straight back and was sent up to OB. The doctor was really nice and thorough, the ultrasound tech Brandy was very sweet and professional. My nurse Sarah was the best! She was so sweet and took excellent care of me. I can’t thank you all enough for the care and compassion during my visit.

Phenomenal hospital. I was blown away at how clean it was and how nice and caring everyone and the nurses are. My 16 year old sister is here to have heart surgery and couldn’t name one complaint I had through the entire experience. Love love love this hospital.

Great hospital with caring staff. I was blessed to have Dr. Laura Goldstein. I have no words to describe her care , knowledge & kindness. She is a gem. She pleasantly answered my hundreds of questions regarding my son’s sickness. She is very polite& caring. I wish everyone gets doctor like her. I wish her all the good luck & happiness in life.

My daughter has had a plethora disturbing and debilitating symptoms for over a year. Even though she had just turned 17, I assumed CHOP was the best place for her care because they specialize in treating conditions other facilities consider a patient too young to have, and I worried something would be ruled out just based on her young age. While most of my daughters doctors have been great, everyone else who doesn't directly come in contact with her (appointment schedulers, for example) have not been. They may not be doctors, but they play a critical role in the life saving treatment, or lack there of, of CHILDREN. It's bad enough that we have to wait as long as we do for appointments, but I was told my daughter's appointment in less than a weeks time must be cancelled and rescheduled for a few weeks later (despite symptoms becoming unbearable) just because the doctor I'd scheduled it with wasn't her "regular" cardiologist. We WANT to see a different cardiologist, specifically the one we'd scheduled for, or honestly ANY other cardiologist who is not her original cardiologist! It's infuriating, honestly. This is my child's LIFE. To top it off, I'd already taken the original day off of work and now I can't get it back so I lose money, I have to miss yet more time for the next appointment and our insurance deductible resets before the next appointments will take place...I'm still trying to pay her medical bills from last year's deductible! I might not be as upset about everything other than her needing to be seen quickly when it's impossible, if the whole scenario isn't an exact repeat of what happened just two days ago with a different CHOP specialist. Again, this isn't the doctors, most of them have been amazing. I truly believe the doctors fully understand how vital their care is to the very lives of their patients. It's others who don't provide medical care yet work at CHOP who are apparently just there for a paycheck. For some, it's just a business they work for. I'm just so incredibly fed up with the business side of CHOP. I'm sure most of the doctors prioritize the health of their patients above everything else...it'd be great if everyone else who isn't directly related to a patients care did the same.

Seven day stay at the hospital after a major surgery and I was taken care of with kind, compassionate and professional nurses the entire time. I’ve been in 5 different hospitals over two decades and RUMC is by far my best experience. I’m in recovery and still visit my surgery team at Rush and they always make me feel heard and valued as a patient. I’m very grateful to have my health care needs provided by the doctors, nurses and staff at Rush.

This hospital has gone downhill the past few years. That they also refuse to respect different faiths is sad. They almost never have a Catholic priest on staff if you need a chaplain even though Catholics are likely the majority of the population in the USA. I do not want to go into deep details about my experience at this hospital and that of my family, but the hospital is not what it was 3 years ago. Nurses are a hit or miss. I’ve had some of the best nurses and some of the absolute worst. Their ER takes forever unless you are very very ill. These people care about money first and foremost. They will also do everything to protect themselves from lawsuits. The patient is their last concern.

I had the unfortunate need to visit the ER yesterday. The attention and care I received at Rush from the attendants working the desk to the doctors and techs that came to my aid, I was so impressed. Perhaps it was due to my reported symptoms that put everyone in motion so swiftly for me. Just want to say that I so appreciate everyone’s attention to what I was experiencing and am grateful for you all. Thank you!!

Dr's are awesome. Surgery went well. Pharmacy was horrible. Waited an hour being told hey its almost ready... just to watch them after over an hour of waiting say, by the way we don't have the medication. Generally pharmacy will hyper focus on non English first, and if they feel you are patient put you off. They gave away the last medication we needed in front of us.... which was really frustrating. I do not trust the pharmacy and have zero faith in their ability to take care of customers. It's hard with a recovering infant not having the medications that the Dr's say we need... thank you pharmacy for your mismanaged debacle of a zoo.

All the nurses and care partners and doctors were amazing. My baby felt so comfortable as well as myself and my husband who slept great on the pull out couch. We were welcomed quickly. Nurses in and out but do not bug when you’re asleep. Food options for my son were great and they got us out of there fast. Thank you CHLA

For being a childrens hospital its a joke , everytime i come here with my son in severe pain they make us wait over 4hrs to get seen while ppl that arrived after us get seen before us!! Not right this place is a joke for hospitality

I had a good experience at Mayo Clinic, all staff is amazing! Specially, Waseem Ahmad, PT is such an asset to Mayo Clinic and I highly recommend Mayo! Waseem dedicates his full attention to his patients' needs, and his expertise integrates the best of western and holistic healing modalities. He focuses intently on helping specific symptoms, while working towards wellness for each patient's unique needs.

Loved Dr Kelsey McClure and her PA Megan Goodman! They were amazing and helpful. They listened and talked through everything with me. I got a breast reduction and love the work they did. Highly recommend. Room was very well cleaned and very comfortable.

The scheduled appointment is for 12:20. Drove 3.5 hours to be told, we only allow check in 15 minutes before the appointment. The next appointment is 10 minutes later in another building, and we can't make it that quickly. The digital portal won't work. No one here will help. Doctors may be good, administration however is a joke.
