I went in while experiencing a miscarriage. I arrived at 7pm and was told that an ultrasound tech…read morewas on call and had already been called due to another patient experiencing the same symptoms that I was and needing an ultrasound as well. I was told that once the tech was called, she had an hour to report in so it may be a wait. From about 8pm when I was moved to the ER side (apparently required due to needing an ultrasound), I was left in the room and would leave to go out in the hallway and check in with nurses to find out when I would be seen or any updates on the tech arriving. I did this about every half hour since I had been previously told she had an hour to report in. The tech finally saw me at 12am. During the ultrasound, she had constant phone notifications sounding off and distracting her from the procedure. At one point, she had me (the patient) hold the transvaginal probe inside of my body so that she could respond to her phone. I was already quite distressed due to the nature of going through a miscarriage, and this made it much worse. The cherry on top was the bill I received. $3400 (after insurance claims). $2000 of this portion was just due to having to check into the ER (to not be seen whatsoever) but just to have the ultrasound in that ER room. Just beware before coming here. The doctors and nurses are kind, but "on call" does not mean much to the techs. Also, beware that you will end up paying thousands if you step foot into their ER (even if no testing or care is done via ER services).

I'm very clearly upset and in pain and this receptionist proceeds to comment "girrrrl, rawr" and ask me if I want an appointment for Monday.

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.

The medication lasted 9 days after which the pain started to return. I called them on day 13 to have them renew my prescription or get me another that would eliminate my pain. I was told that their policy was they would only prescribe a new medication within 9 days of being seen and I would have to come back and pay another $179 to address my issue. My prescription didn't run out until 9 days passed! They also said my NP who prescribed my medication was off that day and and another attending would not write a script without seeing me first for another $179. What... I guess the other attending couldn't read my file, or even make a phone call to the NP??? This place is nothing but a money grab, forget being cared for like they care about you, it's all about the money!!!!!

It helped us to go directly to this surgical center. We didn't need to navigate ourselves through the mammoth hospital parking lot or use their shuttle. Yes, this place has a shuttle service-I know...right? I'm thrilled about it. Where to find the shuttle is easy. Locating your vehicle afterwards is another story. I will say this though, having a key fob helps. Honked our way to our car just fine & dandy. Figuring out which suite upon entering the building was a challenge. Me being me, I tend to appreciate signage. I'm a bit goofy like that so...as we ended up in the wrong medical office. A kind employee was able to advise us that our path was merely across the hall. So off we went. No skipping was involved, you'll know why later ;). There comes a time where a person has to get certain things done. It so happens to be mine now. It's not an appointment that you'll wanna do but a necessity for early detection of stuff. Yes, stuff. This appointment was made way back when in December via a phone call. Paperwork followed a week before the upcoming appointment. The instructions on said paperwork wasn't as reader friendly as my preferred method but now I do know. Wonder if someone could develop an automatic text msg 24 hrs beforehand to the patient like a hey dork, don't do this...but DO this...bc if ya don't do this right, you're gonna see us again...mb ending with xoxo?!? Might be a thing someday. Life is so fast these days, who knows mb it's out there & not in practice?!? I just hope my life lesson helps you in yours. Let's just say...please for the love of all good things, please please please read the love letter your physician-medical team sends you more than twice. Have a friend proof if you are concerned or confused. It will help a bunch on the day of in a ginormous way. Hopefully you won't make the same mistake I made. I'll leave it at that when you realize what type of specialist I'm referring to in this situation :). Dr. Toby Reidy, DO, FACS, FASCRS is a gem & delightful doctor. She stopped by prior to the procedure to introduce herself & explain what was about to occur. She didn't used medical jargon. As we asked questions she met them with sound responses. Love love love how her kindness integrated into an easiness that resonated prior to my procedure. Not once was I freaked out or wanting to instantly bolt my way back home. Was it the anesthesia? Perhaps. Even when I explained that her homework as completed was done in a cliff note version (totally my goof) may not be optimal. I did call her office before my appointment & apologized to her profusely IRL. She kindly explained she'd do the best she could given that most of what was needed from my end was completed. Whew! That was a big load off. Hadn't thought a driver was warranted initially. I'm glad I had one as a precaution. Seems that anesthesia leaves patients groggy. Even though afterwards I felt as if I was ready to tackle the world again, I did find myself repeating questions to my own answers for why IDK, arrived home & fell asleep. That's definitely was from the anesthesia. Doctors actually do know what's up, eh?!? This one certainly did! Grateful for the care & compassion from this facility. Even received a HRU phone call the next day from a real person. Would've taken more pictures. Unfortunately, when you're sitting in a waiting room all ready to begin this showdown, Kodak moments don't really seem appropriate. All I got was the lobby. Hope this helps those that need this done & has unnecessarily put off the inevitable. TBH, get it done STAT. One less thing to freak yourself out with in your daily routine. You'll possess the ability to move onward with its own reward. I'm very impressed with the Franciscan network of professionals. Stay well & be safe, Amy
