Outstanding Surgeon with Exceptional Compassion…read more After a serious fall down a flight of stairs, I developed a bowel obstruction and required major abdominal surgery at Saint Anthony's Medical Center in Rockford, Illinois. Unfortunately, I had complications after the first surgery -- something that can and does happen with complex bowel cases. About ten days post-op, I knew deep down that I was not improving the way I should be. I was discouraged, exhausted, and losing hope. That all changed the morning Dr. Javeria Qureshi walked into my hospital room. From the moment she entered, she felt like a ray of hope. She took the time to review my case thoroughly, sat with me, held my hand, and reassured me that my concerns were valid. She told me plainly and compassionately that I should be feeling better -- and that she wanted to take me back to surgery to find and correct the problem. Dr. Qureshi performed exploratory surgery and did an excellent job correcting what had developed after my first operation. Her clinical judgment was spot-on, and her surgical skill made all the difference in my recovery. What sets Dr. Qureshi apart is not only that she is an excellent surgeon, but that she also has a kind, gentle bedside manner that brought me comfort during one of the hardest moments of my life. She treated me with dignity, compassion, and genuine care. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Qureshi. I would trust her completely and recommend her without hesitation

When the receptions received my ins card the nurse, who was a nurse student last month,…read moretranquilized psychiatric meds as if she a MD or had child bearing exp and stated she was medicating pain from an obvious orthopedic injury. The nurse called the police to complain my injury was shaking, twitching when she tranquilized me and I not even listen or talk to her when sedated. She called more police and brought police into room to show how I not even listen when she really do talk out loud to me. The nurse as a Dr tried to say I was just drunk but breathalzer was 000. When awakened in locked unit, staff from Janet Wattles and med students all stared and nobody ask or say anything, again. They were trying to get ins co to believe they MD and get payment for me, but police not do that or understand why call and can not arrest for stare think and act like it the victim as most staff often does, unless pregnant or in labor, they wait until not have baby with you to be mentally abusive act like it you and then call police, again. After 8 days, a police officer came and I followed them out as they not know I was drunk patient for not really drunk or abusive like they said. Later, that day I had corrective surgery on orthopedic injury at St. Anthony, then went home that afternoon. The staff would have kept me in psychiatric for as long as insurance say they will pay for as staff of med students, psychology students, and new hire nurses want to study. From what I understand lots of staff swear, lie, complain if not drink alcohol, believe they sick when not (hypochondriac) and project that issue onto patients who are sick, and/or injured.

I arrived at MercyHealth's McFarland Rd. urgent care facility with an actively bleeding head injury…read morejust as the doors automatically locked. One of the staff (I believe he was a nurse) refused to let me in and told me all the doctors were gone. Apparently, I am to believe that they all just disappear at closing time, though the parking lot was full of cars. In short, patients should know that MercyHealth staff will quite literally leave a patient bleeding and untreated in their parking lot so they can go home on time. Since MercyHealth's ER was closest, I went there next. I was taken to a triage room, where I sat for over two hours after a nurse checked me in. My wound was irrigated with saline solution, topical and injection lidocaine was administered, and the wound was glued shut. Total hands-on time with nurse and doctor combined was about 10 minutes. A pile of supplies which were never used were brought into my room. I will never know if I was charged for them (probably yes). For this 10 minutes of treatment, I have been billed over $1500. Thankfully, the gross negligence on the part of their urgent care staff was free of charge. Rockford, if you need an urgent care facility, use another medical system. If you need an ER, go to OSF or Swedes. MercyHealth represents everything that is wrong with healthcare in America, and people deserve better.
