In addition to walking by a gazillion times whilst living there, I'd also done some volunteering (with organizations and not directly with the hospital). It's world-class not only in medical treatment but in the care given to the children who are patients.

I will say,…read morethe Emergency Department is a the worst part but I'm sure there's not much they can do about that (long wait times in waiting room & patient room, etc.). However once admitted, my daughter truly had the best care. Every doctor and nurse that cared for her were so thorough and really listened to us. Every person that walked in our room never left without asking if we needed anything. Every. Single. Time. Like I said, you never want to find yourself here but if you do, you will receive extraordinary healthcare for your little one.

His office staff is friendly, and they are very efficient about following up with pharmacies, returning phone calls, and such. I really don't have any complaints about Dr. Horodnic or his practice.

This doctor's visit was a nightmare. I found him through an online search for general practitioners…read morein order to have my thyroid checked as a precautionary measure because I'd gained 10 pounds and even with diet and exercise I couldn't seem to lose it. I based my decision for choosing him on the good reviews I read on here - bad idea. First of all, when I got to the office I was surprised to see that it was an extremely run-down building that looked as though it hadn't had any work done on it since the 1970s. I had to wait in the waiting room for an hour because the doctor was out on a call. During the doctor appointment the doctor was nice enough. I was given a blood test for my thyroid. One thing I thought was weird that the doctor himself took the blood. He didn't send me to a lab or anything so I don't know who it was that actually tested it. Before I left I asked if he would call me with the results and he said "No, no, you call me in a week - we will have the results then." (A whole week! And I've never had to call a doctor's office back to get my results). Well when I called they didn't even have my results ready. So I asked them to call me when they did. The secretary (not a nurse or the doctor, the secretary) called me the next day and told me all my blood results looked good. But then 3 hours later they called me back and said, "Oh the doctor did want us to let you know that your cholesterol was 304. He's going to prescribe you some Lipitor and send you a diet book. Have a good day." First of all, I'm a generally healthy 22 year old. I have a very hard time believing my cholesterol was 304. Later I realized THEY HAD NOT TOLD ME TO FAST BEFORE MY BLOOD TEST which was probably the reason the numbers were so high. Later I went to a different doctor and had my blood retested after fasting and my cholesterol levels were completely normal. Secondly, I found it really strange that even if the cholesterol levels had been that high, that he would prescribe Lipitor right away to a 22 year old without trying diet and exercise first. They didn't even consult with me about the side effects of the drug or how to use it properly. So overall - worst doctor experience ever. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else.

******* Sewickley Hospital ****** I have visited this…read morehospital for SEVERAL tests, procedures and two emergancies. The hospital is great but me nor my husband are great fans of their ER. They are nice but not really efficient. I had to visit for a bad migraine. They had to put in an IV to give me fluids. This male nurse came in to give me pain medicine through my IV but failed to warn me that it would be painful. Lets just say I came off the table and ended up in the floor. I was so mad. The nurse then said, "oh yeah, it could sting a little." My thoughts were "REALLY WTF!!!!." lol My husband had to visit the ER for kidney stones recently. They just asked him his symptoms, gave him meds and told him to follow up with his doctor. $100 for that. If you need tests run or bloodwork this facility is great. Apparently Wednesdays is BACON day. HAHA I know this because when my husband was having a procedure done the nurses were all excited that it was Wednesday and they get BACON. lol So a recap: if your loved one needs to have a procedure done schedule it for Wednesday. Although I visited their cafeteria and I didn't think their bacon was good at all. I did enjoy plugging in my laptop and hanging out in the seated area of the cafeteria. It was nice and I got to hear all the chit chatter of negativity from the female nurses. I just tuned them out and surfed away on the wonderful world wide net. ;)

ZERO STARS. I thought I had a trusted relationship with my doctor at UPMC, Dr. Randall Brand, and…read morehad a critical procedure scheduled for many months that required advance planning and time off for me and my spouse. I received a phone call TWO DAYS BEFORE the procedure telling me that I had to pay $6,500 cash out of pocket or cancel the procedure because they will not work with my insurance. My insurance company swears up and down that this doctor and this procedure are covered and in network. Dr. Brand's office says Highmark is lying and they will not accept my insurance and I am just out of luck on my critical procedure which they have canceled. I now have to find a new doctor in a different network and start over from scratch. This is neglect. This is unjust refusal to provide care. This is discrimination. This is inhumane and absolutely unreasonable, to throw patient's lives, safety, and health out the window because UPMC demands a monopoly on Pittsburgh and our regional health care, and no one with authority has the courage to put a stop to it. Even when the insurance company says it's covered and they will pay, apparently UPMC can still deny you the care you need! UPMC as a whole operates on the core principle of "PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE." Go elsehwere. Take the power back. UPMC does not care one iota about you or your survival. Just their bottom line. Despicable!

Thanks to word of mouth, my possibilities have changed drastically! After meeting one time, which was covered by my insurance as a traditional copay, Dr. Drnovsek meticulously gathered evidence of vein disease through ultrasound, pictures, and vein maps that showed my scientific reason behind the leg cramping, swelling, and heaviness that was beyond the explanation of weight or age. Eagerly, I suggest her expertise and services to my friends and family, as she considered me as a person, not a patient number.
