The only reason I took a star off is the rooms. Unless you're having an extended stay in the hospital, the rooms are disappointing.

The only thing separating the person from just barging in unexpectedly is a lock on the door. Don't have someone staying overnight with you...they definitely won't fit in the room at all and that's VERY disappointing

Now my wife went there for a second opinion on open heart surgery and guess what? No one I mean NO ONE has gotten back to her yet 7 months later and the excuse they all use is I'm waiting on your medical records. I can be treated like crap for free I don't need to pay for it. If you value your life and you are hell bent on coming here stay on them because if you don't they will forget all about you. And, before you ask I have one of the best insurances in the country, so getting paid was not a problem. In closing there are too many sick people and not enough doctors to take care of all of them and it's so easy at RUSH to fall through the cracks. A side note my primary care doctor was AWESOME Dr. Austin ( in Indiana small clinic) very very professional.

It was one…read moreof the most frightening experiences our family has ever faced, but from the moment she arrived, we were surrounded by an extraordinary team of healthcare professionals who treated her with compassion, dignity, and exceptional skill. I especially want to recognize nurses Putnam and Ana, Dr. Khan, and PCT Rhea. Each of them took the time to explain what was happening, answered our questions with patience, and cared for my aunt as if she were their own family. Their kindness and reassurance brought us comfort during an incredibly uncertain time. I would also like to recognize the entire Rapid Response Team (RRT) and everyone who responded during her stroke code. The teamwork, urgency, professionalism, and calm demeanor they demonstrated were remarkable. Watching them work together so seamlessly gave us confidence that my aunt was receiving the very best care possible. Although I cannot remember everyone's name, every person who entered her room (834) in the Telemetry Unit contributed to her care with compassion, respect, and professionalism. Their dedication did not go unnoticed, and it made a lasting impression on our family. Please extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who cared for my aunt during her hospitalization. We will always remember the exceptional care, kindness, and humanity they showed during one of the most difficult moments of our lives.

Almost instantly, I observed almost a dozen health care workers rushing into his room. That was such a powerful hope-filled scene for me to observe at that moment!

I found everyone to be so kind and compassionate, and they explained everything I needed to know in understandable terms. They also gave me guidance and that was very helpful, and so calming for me, personally. My appreciation for St Joseph's runs deep!

I was on my way to a gig when my sister called, frantic our other sister, who was visiting for the weekend, had suddenly fallen ill and was taken to Mercy Hospital. I dropped everything and headed there right away. When I arrived, there was confusion about visitors, and my sister was asked to leave so they could treat our patient. When I was finally allowed back, I was alarmed by what I saw: my sister was unconscious, foaming at the mouth, and lying on her back with no doctor or nurse in the room. I immediately turned her on her side so she wouldn't choke. After waiting about 10 minutes with no staff checking in, I went to find help. Nurses in the area couldn't tell me who was assigned to her, and I was given paper towels to manage her condition myself. After about 30 more minutes, I finally found a nurse at the desk who said she was assigned to my sister. When I asked why no one had come to check on her, I was told my sister had been "extra drunk," combative, and had spit on staff so they essentially left her there. Despite this, she had still not received fluids or proper care. The nurse also mentioned her shift was ending soon and that someone else would take over. However, another hour and a half passed with no one checking on my sister. Eventually, a doctor briefly stopped by and said she would wake up in a few hours pending toxicology. When my sister finally regained consciousness, she was disoriented, confused, and not behaving normally. It took multiple attempts just to get assistance for something as basic as helping her to the restroom. At that point, it had been over four hours with little to no care. We requested a toxicology report, especially since her symptoms suggested she may have been drugged. Although blood had apparently been drawn (there were even remnants left in the room), we never received any results. The room itself was also concerning there were gnats and visible lack of cleanliness. When a new nurse came on shift, the attitude was dismissive. We were told we could leave, even though my sister clearly wasn't stable. When asked to collect a urine sample, the nurse refused to assist and said it was only being done to "satisfy" us. We complied anyway, but to this day, we have not received any follow-up or results. This was one of the most neglectful medical experiences I've ever witnessed. My sister could have choked on her own vomit. Over the 4-5 hours we were there, I don't believe her assigned nurse ever once checked on her in the room. Thankfully, we were there to advocate for her but that shouldn't be necessary for someone to receive basic care. I'm sharing this because no family should have to go through something like this. I truly hope Mercy Hospital takes steps to improve patient care and accountability so this doesn't happen to someone else.

I have been a patient here for about two years and unfortunately my experiences have been very…read morefrustrating. At the front information desk, I have sometimes felt dismissed or spoken to harshly when asking for directions or clarification, especially when I mentioned that I had visited before but needed reminders due to medical issues and medication-related brain fog. During some specialist visits, I felt that my responses were not fully acknowledged when I answered questions in ways that were unexpected. This left me concerned that parts of my medical information may not have been clearly reflected in my records. I have also struggled to get assistance from the Galter Life Center. Despite having a referral from my specialists, I have not been able to schedule an appointment or receive clear guidance through in-person visits, phone calls, or email. Additionally, I have attempted to contact Patient Experience and Advocacy several times but have not received responses to my calls or messages. When the system moved to NorthShoreConnect, I hoped communication would improve, but many of my messages there have also gone unanswered. Because of these experiences, I personally feel that my concerns have not been addressed adequately, and I would encourage others to carefully consider their options when seeking care.
