Thorough, maybe too thorough, but kind care for my elderly father in both the emergency room and the hospital. Appreciated the "sitters". There were some questionable tests ordered. Any complaint seemed to result in a new test regardless of whether it made sense. When asked about them the response was "we have to rule that out". (STD's in a 94 year old!?) Can't imagine the cost without good insurance. read more

ER was over run with patients and large bugs... seriously I had to kill one and it was not pretty. At least two patients left who had enough. Over a two hour long wait in the lobby before getting back to the ER and then the fun began. Seriously what has happened to the US healthcare system this place is disgraceful. Yuck!! Left after 5 hours of waiting in the ER lobby. read more

Preface: If you can make it - go to another ER Facility not associated with RUSH medical. I want to start by saying the nurses and techs here were some of the nicest, most attentive staff I've dealt with ever. That said, the facility itself felt badly under-resourced and poorly managed. I waited over 2 hours to be seen by a "physician", who was actually with a doctor appearing over video, not in person. I then waited almost 3 hours after they ordered testing, no one updated or checked on me. I ended up waiting close to 6 hours without being actually seen or talked to. I left the facility. The waiting room was overcrowded with not nearly enough seating for the number of patients. What stuck with me most: one of the nurses mentioned she hadn't been able to take a lunch break because no one was available to relieve her. The staff are clearly stretched far too thin, and it shows, not in the quality of their care, but in how long everything takes and how strained the whole environment feels. I genuinely feel for the people working here. They deserve better support from the facility so they can do their jobs without being run into the ground. read more

The worst experience of my life came in the ER, and the ER doctors' excuse as to why he did not order a test promptly was that he was overwhelmed. At first, he was extremely rude and dismissive of my husband's concerns. As soon as he realized he had made a mistake, his attitude completely changed, and he was apologetic, but his reason was so disturbing: "Due to the high volume of patients, I wish I had ordered the ultrasound sooner. Mind you, they only have 22 beds available. As I walked around, not all of those 22 beds were filled; they had about five rooms open. My husband was in the hallway, where everyone was passing by, listening to what was going on. No privacy whatsoever. Now we are at the TENTH HOUR, and now we just put in for an ultrasound, which should have happened as soon as we walked in or shortly after. After waiting for 45 minutes for an ultrasound, I asked how much longer he had to wait. At this point, I want him transferred over to Northwestern Hospital. This is unacceptable. Rush is regarded as one of the top hospitals, but clearly, that is not the case. I WILL NEVER BE BACK AGAIN. This hospital has no regard for the Latino or Black patients. read more

Don'T DO IT!!! 0 stars if I could. I was released in an incredible amount of pain so that Rush ER could open another bed. Doctor just starting his rounds had to physically help me to bathroom, help wipe me & help me get dressed while i was screaming. They should be closed down. Nurse updated clinical notes patient refused test. What I said re: retaking a normal BP , was look at my are. The BP cuff left these marks. She said, we'll just skip it. Look at my arm.

I have received years of quality service from the Rush network, including Rush Oak Park. But the behavior of the Telemetry Unit staff on the fifth floor of the hospital during my family member's potentially life-threatening illness has been consistently verbally abusive and in direct contradiction of their own prominently advertised anti-harassment policy. Due to my family member's condition, I was on that unit most hours between 8am and 8pm for three consecutive days. During that time, the staff was generally supportive of my family member when understandable time constraints did not limit their availability. But multiple staff members were relentlessly abusive to me, using dehumanizing and insulting language at a time of extreme duress for for my family. They used profane language to describe me, were openly hostile to my attempts to care for an ailing loved one who had specifically requested my presence, repeatedly implied that I was unwelcome, and defended their unprofessional attitudes by demeaning my value as a human being. read more

Very filthy environment with cracks in ceramic flooring . Elevators and bathrooms are a true disgrace .

My doctor recommended I go to the ER because he could not see me for several days and I had symptoms consistent with thrombosis. In Triage the nurse asked me to rate my pain level. I told her it was currently 1 but rose to 10 at night when I tried to sleep and that because of that I had been unable to sleep for over a week. She rated me 1 and i waited and waited in the ER as the lowest priority. Every hour when I asked how many people were ahead of me she said 6. After hours of watching people come in and go out I finally left. Most of the staff were nice but the young girl in charge of calling clients was very snitty. I definitely would not recommend going here ever. read more

I had foot surgery at OP Rush a week ago with Dr. Alianello. The Same Day Surgery team was beyond my expectations. Nurse Sarah, the Anesthesia team, surgical team, etc. were professional, friendly, organized, and compassionate. The entire team was grest. read more

Had my first colonoscopy up here with Dr. John Konen and couldn't have been more pleased with him and the entire lovely staff, who absolutely made me feel as comfortable as possible while having to go through such an experience. Actually just received a "thank you"card in the mail from them as well. What medical facility does that?!? Truly great people and such a wonderful team! Appreciate you all!!!!!!!! Now just let me get good results, please, cuz that would be the icing on the cake! read more

Unbundling is illegal. My single-code procedure was broken into two different codes at registration (I have the paper copy of the doctor's order.) I got charged for two procedures. The billing department has given nine different reasons why I *could* have been charged for two procedures, none of them accurate -- this last one claiming my doctor authorized it when she didn't, as she wasn't working on the Saturday of this test when I checked in. However, calling Rush only gets you put back to billing. "Patient Relations" (which is bullshit) said I was not allowed to talk to anyone but billing. Any number you call is designed to take you back to billing. If you ask the legion of former Rush employees now at other medical institutions, they'll tell you of Rush's relentless cutting of services and requiring several different appointments instead of one, simply to maximize all billing. But "unbundling" is still illegal, folks. RUN AWAY FROM THIS HOSPITAL. I have. read more

Thanks Dr. Manno and nursing staff. I was not well entering ER!.......................................................

The number provided went to an unattended line. The response given was callous. The care given was questionable. Please be mindful of where your loved ones are taken read more

Great medical staff. Awful support staff. Super slow, nobody ay registration desks, lab service was deplorable. They all have a bad attitude and annoyed. Not sure if it's an awful place to work but the lower support staff all need customer service training and better attitudes. If you are going to be miserable and cop an attitude, quit. read more

Great patient care! Empathetic, friendly, quality medical care. Wonderful nurses! Great Doctor's! That listen! My new #1 hospital network in Chicagoland. My elder dad had surgery and every step of the way totally different vibe than other large hospital he'd been going to. Overall lots of consultation holistically doctors talking to eachother about multiple ailments. Not silo. Thank you RUSH you are fantastic on the 5th floor! Next plan coordinated as well and on his way to recovery. read more

I have had family get admitted at the hospital and unfortunately its shameful that the doctors dont always converse about medical plan of care. Example includes to continue blood thinners post stroke when someone has history of arrythmia's. The surgeon states "that's not my problem" follow up with cardiologist or neurologist. like Really? poor service and not quality care. read more

Omg.... Normally we go to Rush over on Congress... Today just because it was closer we came here to soak Park... 2 hrs (so far and all that's been done is Vitals).... Waiting room got so packed ppl standing waiting.... Since I have all this time... I look at reviews... for every ER Negative Review... I see the same response word by word, the Exact same response about sorry for the wait, something about having to Prioritize Ambulances and I dint know what.... That's horrible.. So it just happens that's that's always the situation???..... after seeing these reviews I think this place needs a few under cover surprise visits from JCAHO!!!! read more

Rush Oak Park Hospital - This is the Reply for every single negative ER review - Hospitals Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I had a procedure scheduled that required prior preparation and medicine. Hospital sent instructions and finally, at the last minute, sent prescription to be filled. When I looked at what I was supposed to take, it did not conform to the instructions I had received. I called Osco and the pharmacist told me that the I had been given the wrong instructions. I tried to call anyone at the hospital but since it was after 5 pm the only human I could reach was in the ER who of course knew nothing about this. The highly paid medical staff was NOT AVIALABLE and I have the Osco pharmacist to thank for saving me from taking inappropriate medicine. The utter contempt with which Rush treats its patients is mind-boggling. Jessica read more

Regardless of the wait time which was the worse part. I had the best experience ever. The doctor on schedule really knew what he was doing. I normally stay clear from "hospital doctors" cause they tend to disappoint me (no offense), but I was quite pleased. read more

This emergency room is out and out dangerous. Brought my wife in the hospital emergency at 9:30 Pm, Sharp pain running up her arm. In extreme pain. It's now 3:45 Am and no one has seen her. No one has offered any pain management or relief. Should have taken her to the local veterinary clinic Jim C read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! My wife had a normal checkup at this location and it ended up costing us thousands of dollars after the Dr aggressively made her get more exams. They are 100% trying to run up the tab both the doctors and the office employees. We would not go back if our lives depended on it. SOS!! read more

Don't waste your time taking a visit unless you want to wait 3-5 hours to get actual care/attention. I literally came with severe abdominal pain and bleeding out of my back private part was not taken care of in a reasonable time. The front desk are rude and snobby. GO TO ELMHURST HOSPITAL INSTEAD!!!! They take care of you, they listen to you and get you in quickly. read more

My infant started daycare about a week ago, so it's no surprise she caught a bug. I decided to bring her to the emergency room due to a persistent fever. There is free parking for the ER located directly across from the entrance. I was unsure of where the entrance was exactly, the green doors threw me off. Upon entering, I was unsure on which way to enter. To the left there appears to be some sort of security room, to the right is the entrance. I entered the lobby still unsure as to where I was to check in until a woman called me over. Check-in was quick. The representative took my information and gave my infant a label. About 10-20 minutes later we were triaged by a male nurse, who just asked a few questions. 10-20 minutes later we were asked to the back for vitals and then sent back to the lobby to wait for a doctor. We waited about the same amount of time to see a provider. The longest we waited was for test and the medication they administered to work. It is not the average ER once you get to the back, and I'm not sure if this is due to COVID, but there's a hallway lined with chairs with dividers for privacy. I am never comfortable with spaces like these because you can literally hear what every other patient is in for. read more

In a year in which Covid greatly diminished my visits to new places and venues, shame on me for forgetting to review the place where I was tested positive for Corona virus. Though for much of the 10 days or so that followed, reviewing anything was about the furthest thing from my mind. If there was a bright spot in my dealings with the pandemic, this was it. I was about ten minutes late for the appointment (overslept) and they gave me no grief for it - fortunately it didn't slow others down from getting their test. No waiting for me at all, I did a drive up self-test with masked supervision. I had my results the next day, which was critical for updating my employer. My brother recently used Rush-OP Hospital and had a positive experience as well. Since our family physician retired last year after practicing for almost five decades, we'll likely seek out a new physician from the Rush group due to the outcomes of our visits. read more

If you ever need to have a myomectomy (fibroids removed) I highly recommend Dr. Sadikovic. She was extremely patient with me and communicated with me from surgery to follow ups. She made me very comfortable and took all my fears away. I have never felt heard by any doctor until I met her. read more

Rush Oak Park ER does not seem to be the place to go for an emergency. After 6+ hours of waiting, we followed the trend already set by many others and sinply left. Perhaps the ER at Rush Oak Park now means error--go somewhere else for emergency care. read more

Horrible service, was there almost four hours with broken hand and didn't care to give me anything for pain until I'm getting paperwork, had to call friends to bring me something as this hospital doesn't care how you feel. Avoid this place like the plague or go elsewhere for real service read more

Had shortness of breath. Really thought I was in trouble. Speed to the ER and get checked in. After waiting 2 hours I go up and ask what's up, and they forgot to put my name on the list. Another hour of waiting and them calling up people who got there way after me and I left. Literally decided I'd rather die than get disrespected by that ratchet ass front desk lady again. If your life depends on it, NEVER go here. read more

I had to visit a wound care specialist after a surgery incision and wound was being pesky and i was referred (from Dr Laurence Levine) to see Doctor Farah Hashemi-Fakouri. I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience. I always felt like Dr Hashemi was there for me and would always listen to my concerns. She's very down to earth and from day one, felt like i was talking to a friend. I absolutely would recommend her. Building is just south of the main entrance and will have a small driveway where they have valet. They are not the fastest because there is usually only one person but they're usually really good staff. read more

Hello To whom this may concern, Hello I'm speaking for myself and my mother. Today we were up at oak park rush hospital visiting my brother. We were told by nurse Molly that Dr. Joel mensing would come in to talk. Well we waited for two hours he never came. As we left he then runs up saying "LADIES!" Not once did he introduce himself on whom he was since we never met him. He also approached my mother very aggressively. My mother was shocked and upset and the type of career she has and she had on work uniform she could not believe this. She then began to tell him "this is new to me my life just changed two weeks ago I have a career and I work and it's hard to get his info when he was a 41 year old grown man, bare with me I'm still processing this. Dr. Joel Mensing then says " it's going on two weeks you need to figure out a plan" my mother explained to him the same statement above again (which we had a plan we talked to the case worker) and he in a sense acted as he didn't care because his exact words were "well that's not my problem you have yo figure it out because she has to go he has been got the approvals and release to leave. Now for one I have served this country for 12 years and this was by far the rudest most inconsiderate condescending doctor I've ever met. The first doctor understood his job and spoke with respect and regards to the situation. It was rude and insensitive to approach this woman aggressively as she is dealing with life and death decisions. However, not only was he very unprofessionally he completely violated our rights as far as patient client confidentiality. He did not say hey how are you or mention his name nor did he ever say let's step in the family room or can we talk somewhere private? He decided to have this conversation amongst other nurses who are not aware of probably what's going on or who have not dealt with him and now there's individuals who are also in this hospital who know our business who should not know this. As a doctor you are supposed to disclose information in a private location this is why HIPPA was in place and he has completely violated that discussing business and open when it should've been discussed in a private setting. As a family we spoke highly of this hospital and the care these last two weeks but the demeanor and attitude, and the stature that Dr. sold was very unprofessional. If you don't want to work in a professional field to deal with people than McDonald's, and Burger King is completely hiring. I have service country 12 years and I give everybody the same upmost respect as long as you respect me, I will give you respect, but the way he blatantly and aggressively approached my mother. It was so disrespectful and condescending, and then spoke with his hands that his unprofessional behavior, and I'm sorry, but it leads me to believe that if it was somebody of another race, would he have treated them like that because as I paid attention to him interacting with the other patient who was Caucasian race, he was very calm and peaceful, but when he approached us, he was with aggression . I do hope this is handled and corrected and fixed but me as his sister and as her daughter I'm highly upset, and I will be sending complaints further up and complaints about him as well to other individuals because this can't keep going on. I do hope to hear from somebody with a response and I hope to hear from somebody with a quick action because my mother is highly upset and so am I you should never talk to that woman like that and her son is on life and death and my mother really truly feels that race played a pact factor in this because based off what I visually saw and body languages of your other nurses yeah other nurses seem to be on edge compared to most days when I'm there weather almost every day since he's been in the hospital they are nurses has always been chipper and happy and then today we walk in and they said it's a new nurse on rotation and all the nurses are on edge right there. That's a problem, and I don't know if you guys see that problem of me as a military member and as the position I heard, I always had to pay attention to body languages, and the body languages of those nurses did not speak positive to me at all so I hope this is fixed and I will send this exact same email to other individuals as well because I want this fixed and rectified, and I want something handled because what was broken was the fact that our privacy was not private it was displayed in front of everybody on the whole floor instead of in a private setting. I only gave it 2 stars because of the previous nurses and doctor who helped him. read more

I would never ever would want to come for any type of medical assistance to this Hospital. The problem here is that a lot stuff happens and no one ever voices their opinion and if they do they take it to management where they toss it out and never care to call the patient back and asked what happened. I asked one of your staff members named Betty how long would it be before it was seen seeing that I've been here for over two hours and Her attitude was horrible and the answer she gave didn't make any sense along with her tone in her voice!!!! I talked to another staff member in your hospital named Andrea and she was very pleasant and was able to answer now why can't other staff member be like Andrea? After incident, the doctor came in and I had to go look for the nurse in charge because 2 1/2 hours later still no medication She said she has to look for my work order. It's been ridiculous!! Now it's 8:30 AM, and still no discharge papers. I had to go up to the desk to ask the guy at the desk. If my stuff was put through he said no I told him I wrote a review if they didn't want me to write another one, I said I suggest totell the doctor to put in my work order currently Brooke the nurse said she will go get it to give it to me. It's just been ridiculous here. read more

There is no way to make an appointment for this lab, unless another Rush doctor makes it for you (so you're out of luck unless you're an actual patient of Rush). I waited over 3 hours for a walk in appointment. The staff was friendly & overly apologetic for being understaffed. It's gross negligence, incompetence & unnecessary risk to individual on behalf of a hospital network as expansive & wealthy as Rush to have such extensive wait times during a pandemic in a tiny waiting room with only 4 chairs. Dozens of us were lining the hallway, sitting all over the floor. read more

This place is the worst. I wasn't feeling well all weekend and Monday night started getting chest pains so I called a sitter and went to the ER. I sat in the waiting room for 5 hours and then another hour in the room before I was seen by anyone. Dr. McKenna was the first person to see me and I explained how I had arm, back and chest pain with shortness of breath. She left and a nurse returned with Tylenol when I already told the Dr that Tylenol didn't do anything so I passed on the pill. She then orders a urine sample and shortly after discharged me telling me to use a warm compress and Tylenol!? No bloodwork. No ECG. No asking about my family history. I was shocked. My mother has heart disease and I wouldn't have waited so long to know that they didn't take chest pains and shortness of breath to be an emergency. And the nurses didn't seem to care at all about being in pain and were not very empathetic. The Dr really didn't seem to care about what I was telling her and rushed me out saying it was a virus. Also, another patient was in the waiting room pregnant and they didn't seem to care about her either. I made a vow to not come here anymore. No wonder everyone that lives in Oak Park goes to Elmhurst Hospital. read more
