At first, I had a hard time finding the office and went to the wrong building. A staff member was kind enough to direct me to the correct building. When I arrived at the gastroenterology office, I went to the check in window and Allison greeted me with a smile. She took my information and told me to wait until my name was called. I did not wait even five minutes before Jasmine called my name and took me in the back. Jasmine was very professional and kind and took my blood pressure and weight information. She asked me the triage questions and then told me to wait for Dr. Foster. Dr. Richard Foster came in and introduced himself to me. He was very professional and answered all of my questions. He explained the situation with my diverticulosis and what impact it has on my colon. He went over all the details regarding my colonoscopy and what the procedure will consist of that day. He was excellent in his explanation and very concise. The whole staff were very professional and helpful in making my appointment worthwhile and productive. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Foster handling my colonoscopy and explaining everything to me. This was very worthwhile and I'm happy to have Dr. Foster as my gastrenologist. It was a good visit.

Where do they get these people that work in Breast Centers??? Everyone needs to model their hiring…read moreprocess or something, because yet again, I am in such awe of my level of care today. I needed a biopsy on a lymph node quickly, and this location was able to get me in quickest, before the holidays. I arrived early, for my 8:30 a.m. appointment. Check in, with a very nice woman, was prompt. I was called back about 15 minutes later. I am so extremely thankful that my nurse was a wonderful gal named Cassie. She is absolutely excellent and her "bedside manner" rocks. Once I was changed into my gown for my procedure and she could see how heavily tattooed I am, she began telling me about how she'd had a scare similar to mine, and it ended up being tattoo ink in her lymph node. We appear to be fairly close in age, and both have tattoos from 15-20 years ago. She definitely helped put me at ease and remained upbeat, yet extremely caring thru the entire procedure. My doctors name was Matthew. He was a really nice guy. As we were getting started, I let him know that I have severe anxiety and what it looks like when I am about to have a panic attack and what I do to work thru it. He let me know how familiar he is with anxiety and reassured me that they would help me get thru it. Sure enough, my anxiety began to get the best of me. Cassie picked up on it quickly and began gently talking me thru what to do. No one has ever told me when this happens to me that I shouldn't close my eyes. I often pass out with my panic attacks. She kept gently encouraging me to keep my eyes opened and focused on any one thing and helped guide my breathing. I was pouring sweat, so she had the other nurse in the room get me a cold rag and had her help refresh it to keep it cold, for my forehead. Everyone was so great with me and so respectful of my boundaries and had true "caregiver" attitudes towards me. Someone in healthcare, PLEASE hear me! This is how you treat patients. Especially patients with trauma histories. Would you believe they discovered tattoo ink in my lymph node? Yup! Nurse Cassie called it. My sample was sent off for testing and then I was given another mammogram. Cassie did my mammogram and then took me to have my vitals checked. Once my blood pressure went back to normal, I was allowed to get dressed and go about my way. Stellar care. I absolutely could not ask for better or find a single item to critique.

Witham Memorial Hospital is really the flagship hospital under the Witham Health Services Umbrella…read more Located in Lebanon, Indiana, Witham Memorial Hospital was first established in 1915 with a grant by Flavius J. Witham and family. By 1917, the hospital had been built and stayed in the same location until 2003 when a brand new 128,000 square feet facility was constructed at a different location in Lebanon. While I've made many meaningful stops on my Tenderness Tour events, few have been as meaningful as my stop at Witham Memorial Hospital where, in fact, I was born in 1965. Witham was and is a county hospital. As evidence of my future attention-seeking behaviors, my birth made the local newspaper when my parents' car broke down on the way to Witham and they were assisted by a small town police officer nicknamed Barney Fife. Seriously. Having been born with spina bifida, 1965 Witham was ill-equipped for a child with my serious health issues and within hours I would be transferred to Marion County General (which became Wishard and now Eskenazi). However, as someone who has long outlived my life expectancy I've always been fully aware that it all began with the loving and quality care I received at birth even in a hospital not equipped to serve me. Present day Wishard has expanded beyond the hospital and offers services in Boone, Clinton, and Montgomery Counties of Indiana. While they certainly are still not as equipped some of Indy's more comprehensive medical centers, Witham has definitely grown and their new facility is quite beautiful. They offer emergency services, women's services, inpatient/outpatient, surgery, rehabilitation, and offer a wide variety of services including in many of the areas I continue to need including neurology, urology, ortho, wound care, and many others. Witham has a 95,000 square foot medical office building attached to the hospital. It's considered a short-term acute care hospital and has 96 beds. They have an area on their grounds for memorials - an option I seriously considered having had a daughter who passed away. Started, quite literally, with a $15,000 donation, Witham Memorial Hospital has grown into a remarkable facility yet continues to possess a sense of small town values and shows remarkable compassion. As I returned for a a visit and a symbol of their compassion and expertise, I fell in love with the place all over again.

We never had to wait long and the nurses and receptionists have always been kind and patient with us. I unfortunately recently learned that Dr Hannah had retired. Happy for him, but super sad to know we will not see him anymore :( But we had also been seen by other doctors in Riviera. All super nice and well informed. BREASTFEEDING FRIENDLY I also will add. Which is a plus for new moms. We had always been able to get in to see a doctor within a day or so with sudden illnesses, or after hours the nurses on call are always really kind and able to answer questions. In conclusion, I truly feel that Riviera Pediatrics is a great choice. It's located inside IU north hospital and IU has a reputation for being one of the best hospitals. I feel like the doctors genuinely care for each patient and really enjoy their job. They don't treat you like a number. Everyone is very professional and sweet to the children!

When asked at every visit Desiree proceeded to tell me nothing was due. Come to find out I had a $140 bill out of no where with no explanation or apology for staff misinforming me. When asked what the bill was for I was never given a breakdown or explanation. I called every other day asking for the office manage Sheryl whom never seemed to be in office or away from her desk conveniently every time I called. Once I got ahold over her after a month I was still given the run around and not one apology. Online access and the front office failed to keep me updated. After I advised I would be seeking a different doctor for both of my kids and I ended service with them a week later they sent me a nasty letter in so many words saying they quit providing my children care because of unprofessionalism . How so,If all I asked for was a breakdown of why I had a bill that wasn't reflected online or by their front office?

This was my first time experiencing the IU Health North Hospital (specifically the Riley portion)…read more We've spent tons of time at the downtown IU offices over the years. Our son's adenoid removal surgery and mole biopsy landed us here. The hospital itself is full of natural light and plants, giving off a peaceful tone. All of the staff we encountered in the pediatric surgery unit were super sweet and total professionals at navigating a kiddo surgery. I was anxious going into it all not knowing how our four year old would react but they immediately put my mind at ease with all of their childcare specialists and extra bells and whistles (stickers, car "ride" to drive back to surgery, etc).

Since I live in Indy, an awful lot of my IU Health care has historically occurred at either…read moreUniversity or Methodist Hospital. While IU Health is not my tier 1 provider with my insurance, it's in-network. When it came up that I would require another surgery to address an ongoing issue, I began exploring IU Health North in Carmel in the hope that I would find a smaller, more personal care setting without compromising the quality of care I need as a complex patient. I was told to arrive at 8am for a 10am surgery. Registration is on the first floor adjacent to the information booth. The surgery suite is on the second floor. From surgery, I would go to recovery (of course) and then be kept overnight. Parking is free at IU North (NOTE: While I realize it's a bit of a stereotype, I'm not quite sure why the wealthier Hamilton County hospital offers free parking and the downtown Indy hospital does not, but I digress). While this is a bigger hospital than you might expect, I still consider it one of IU's satellites along with Avon, Saxony, Morgan and others. I arrived on time. Registration was simple via kiosk or with a person. Generally, the person is there to ask questions and direct. Once registered, I was sent up to surgery and the hosting area was almost immediately off the elevators. I checked in, got my arm band, and waited for my turn. I was taken back a bit early by a friendly technician. They got me settled in. Then the nurse and, of course, visits from anesthesiology and the physician doing my surgery. I'd informed the team up front of some trauma care needs. I was pleasantly surprised that this information had been clearly communicated and addressed. This doesn't always occur so thoroughly. I was grateful. I was in surgery on time. The surgery went well and I recovered quickly enough that I'm not sure I was even offered water in recovery. They had me on the floor fairly quickly. I got one nurse who was finally able to help me address an allergy inaccuracy. I was on the fourth floor. Interestingly enough, I was on the maternity ward (post partum). Apparently, they use part of the area for overflow. I was only in overnight, however, I didn't have a negative issue with nursing or techs. All were caring, compassionate, and for the most part attentive (I wasn't a high need patient, so it's hard to gauge attentiveness). The food? Definitely average. I took photos for three out of the four meals. The cafeteria downstairs is definitely better. I'm sure it's the same team, but I'd take this over Methodist most days - they get it to you more quickly, it's warmer, and those taking the order are simply friendlier. I figured IU North would be a little more high tech: 1) It's in Carmel and 2) It's a newer hospital having been built in 2005 with a cancer center addition in 2020. Most of the staff didn't seem to know much about the hospital, a weird deficit in terms of building a culture. Easy questions - like capacity and number of beds - were met with blank stares. It took forever for someone to figure out that there's a phone charger actually on the beds (it worked perfectly with my iPhone 16). I'd brought a charging cord believing that would be true, but could never figure it out. Finally, someone did. I was discharged as expected the next day. Discharge was a bit weird as it wasn't done by my nurse for the day. Instead, there was a virtual nurse (an actual person presenting virtually). Quite honestly, I hated it. It was impersonal and they clearly hadn't read my situation (for example, making comments about walking to a footless wheelchair user). I was also surprised no staff escorted me out. Yes, I had a ride. It still felt weird. I got my meds for home from an in-house pharmacy (Noting that I'd told them to send it to my pharmacy). While it wasn't preferred, it was convenient and it was delivered to my room so I could pay. The atmosphere here is calmer, cleaner, and aesthetically more pleasing. It's MUCH quieter. Instead of room bells buzzing, they have a silent system that greatly reduces the noise. Yes, it's still a hospital and hard to sleep. However, it's much improved. I also found the beds vastly superior to Methodist. Overall, I'd call this a good but not great experience. There are still some bugs to work out. However, the care was great - the procedure I needed was actually only okayed for this location recently. I was very pleased with the trauma-informed care and greatly appreciated the quality care for a generally basic but very necessary inpatient surgery.

I contribute my initial uncertainty with being a young mother-to-be and not knowing what to expect throughout the 9 months. As my delivery time approached, Dr Campbell made me comfortable by telling me not to worry. At delivery time and after 13 hrs of labor, I had to have a C-section. Once again, being young, I didnt know what to expect, but Dr Campbell put my mind at ease throughout my entire hospital stay. My husband was very comfortable with this group of Drs.

I made the trek from downtown to Westfield and appreciated the full hour of time I was given for onboarding and figuring out my new healthcare plan. This is a concierge doctor (out of network) but I figure there is nothing more important to spend my money on than health (noting that this is definitely a privilege I don't take lightly). I'm grateful to have a solid support system in this new journey.

It's been established that I'm pretty much a devotee of Indiana's labyrinths - there are more than…read moreyou think there are. They range from beautifully constructed and well-maintained labyrinths to labyrinths that seem to have largely been forgotten. I've long heard rumors of a labyrinth existing on the grounds of IU Health Methodist Hospital, a hospital born out of a Methodist Episcopal Conference surplus that has now served Indiana residents since 1905. The hospital is now obviously under the umbrella of IU health and will soon be getting some upgrades alongside the establishment of a new health complex across the street that is currently under construction. The labyrinth, however, seems to be a secret. I've literally looked all around the Methodist Hospital without success in finding it. Signage seemingly doesn't indicate where it's located. It's barely mentioned on the website unless you look specifically under spiritual care. I had an entire day on the Methodist campus today and was determined to find it, or at least find out if it actually exists. It does. It does exist. Well, kind of. Truthfully, this is a labyrinth that seems to have been largely forgotten. After asking several employees where it is located - from information desk people to clinic staff to even a chaplain - I was finally pointed over to the kind elderly gentleman driving one of the IU Health carts. The employee who sent me there noted "He's been here for 30 years. He'll know." He knew. He took me right there. Yay, I found it. Located directly off a Noyes Pavilion entrance right by what used to be the Children's Pavilion, the labyrinth is a small concrete fixture set within a corner. There are a couple of benches alongside it. There's an actual sign on the way by the entryway pointing you to it, though no other signage indicates its presence. The labyrinth design is on the concrete, though certainly on this late November day with temperatures in the 20s I was the only one foolish enough to be outdoors exploring a labyrinth. Finding the labyrinth was exciting. The actual labyrinth? Rather disappointing. It has remarkable potential in this spot, though it's clear it's only barely maintained. With the concrete surroundings and no greenery around, this is not the first place you're going to go if you need a spiritual moment. There are greenery areas around Methodist and it's weird to think nothing was added here to make it more inviting. I believe that the same family that donated the chapel also donated funds for the labyrinth. However, again, it's hard to find much history about it anywhere. However, for labyrinth lovers it may be worth a visit. I'm glad I found it and it was a nice place for me to pray and meditate today as I faced my first "scan day" after bladder/prostate cancer. For those seeking the true labyrinth experience, the Methodist Hospital Labyrinth is definitely on the more modest end of the labyrinth scale.
