The check-in desk at radiology had a very attentive person who was quick to welcome us and get the paperwork going. We were seen about 5 minutes after check-in and the staff in charge of setting up the testing were courteous to my father, who is hard-of-hearing. The procedure took about 1.5 hours and I was able to stay in an adjacent waiting room with a tv, which was perfect as my 3-year-old was with me. After the procedure, the nurses took us to the exit and were very complementary to my father, who fell asleep during the testing. We ended up eating at the cafeteria downstairs and left feeling positive about the entire experience.

My wife had a bad case of the flu and we wound up at the ER late one night. She was seen almost immediately. The staff was pleasant and attentive. They listened, which I don't always see from hospital staff. The nurses were really wonderful - available and helpful. I can't entirely say the same about the staff doctor - I didn't get his name but he was a young guy who, while I'm sure is a very good doctor, didn't have the best bedside manner. And, when I had a question for him and couldn't get him to come to the room, I walked over to the desk where he was chatting about sports with others. When I tried to interrupt, he told me to wait and he'd see me when he was available. While I understand that everyone deserves a break now and again, being available for your patients is paramount. Clearly, not working and not being able to answer a simple question because you're talking about unimportant things is not what should be expected. Outside of my complaint about the doctor, we were very happy with how they treated us and cared for my wife. Of course, we have not seen the bill yet...

If you black don't go to Alexian Brothers Hospital. I started with a 140/80 blood pressure and discharge with a 189/90 blood pressure. I had to beg to please take out the needle still in my arm so I could at least put my coat on. Three blankets were not enough. I then realized I was in the room that the ambulance bring patients through double doors heavy with ice. Temperature about 10 degrees outside. I will NEVER, NEVER go back there again!

I would give 4 or 5 stars to the doctor who treated me--he was very helpful & nice, but also told me I needed a cat scan which required drinking a large amount of liquid contrast, even though I was throwing up. Naturally trying to drink a full cup of liquid caused me to start vomiting all over again. Although I understand his concern with wanting to check for potential bleeding, since I threw up a very small amount of blood, I had also just had a biopsy in my stomach done that day during an endoscopy, which can cause blood in vomit.

Then we had to wait an additional 2 hours for a doctor to come in and state that he wants her to have a CT. So then, he prescribes "dilaudid", a drug that my fiancé insisted that she did not want to have because of the side effects it has on her. She said it 5 times and they still have it to her. Another hour goes by and she finally goes down for a scan, and when she comes back up, tells me they almost forgot she was still in the machine after the scan took place...and yet again we waited another few hours until 3am for the doctor to tell us there is nothing to do but take pain meds, and hope the issue goes away on its own, which was a response I was very frustrated by. So today, not more than 9 hours after all of that, after not getting any sleep to begin with, another doctor calls her back and says that he didn't like the complete diagnosis that the doctor the night before gave, and wants her to come back in immediately. Needless to say, we are both extremely frustrated and tired. I hope that I can write a better review on this visit today. I am glad that they are reviewing the problem and hoping to correct it, my frustration is with the crew the night before, I wish they had taken the time to discover these problems then.

Only downside for me is the cost of care for tests, or things not covered by insurance. (Check out alternative places, like Bright Light Imaging for CT Scans or imaging). The halls and main spaces are kept clean and in order. I especially appreciate the staff in the Breast Care Center. They are very caring individuals. I also find it is a perk to have a nice Starbuck's in the lobby here too, so you can treat yourself to a hot or iced beverage after an appointment. And, this is your reminder ladies (and men) to practice self care and get checked regularly each year. You matter! And this is a nice place to go when care is needed.

I went to Huntley Hospital and I was totally ignored even though I was loosing so much blood. I had my husband take me to SHerman and was taken immedately into the emergency room and was taken care of by a nursing practitioner. THe hospital is clean and everyone treated me well. Two days ago I was concerned that I may be having a stroke. I had been having TIA's and then was dizzy for 2 days. Because on the news they were telling people not to ignore TIA's because of Mitch Mcconnel the senator, I went to SHerman. Was taken right in to a room and given lots of tests to see what was going on. I had a brain bleeed a few years ago and was concerned. THEy did a brain Ct scan, an ultra sound test on my legs as I have blood clots in my legs and some other tests. THey got the results back very fast and figured out I was having a Vertigo attack. Gave me medicine for it and would not let mte leave till I was feeling better. They called later to check on me. THe doctor and nurses and technicians were terrific and caring. It is the only hospital I trust in HUntley. I would give it more stars if I could.

Went there for surgery on both my ankles at the same time…read more Let's start with the fact that I now have a copy of my medical records from my stay there. Upon reading them, it's clear that I'm lucky my surgeon knows left from right. He normally doesn't do surgery there and now I know why. My records have several notations stating that they were surgically removing hardware from my LEFT ankle - which they were actually removing it from my RIGHT ankle. And it states that they're installing hardware into my RIGHT ankle - which they were actually doing to my LEFT. In one notation it stated that they " were installing hardware into my right ankle. They were then going to remove hardware from my right ankle. " Wrong. Two lines later it states that they were installing hardware into to my left ankle. Reading these records made me wonder if they were at all coherent at the time they were recorded. This is a hospital. I would expect they would pay attention to those kinds of details especially when surgery is involved. To be clear my surgeon is wonderful and now I know why he doesn't normally operate at St Alexius. The first night I was there the nurse refused to give me my normal blood pressure medication. It was noted in my chart that I take it for a heart condition, and not high blood pressure. My regular cardiologist (who is in Naperville and specializes in my condition) told me that he doesn't care how low my blood pressure is, he wants it as low as it will go. It's to protect my aorta due to a genetic condition I have that killed my father. A condition that is noted on my chart. The nurse would not listen. She said my blood pressure was too low to give me the medication. I agreeed, and stated that if I didn't have this particular condition, I wouldn't need the medication. But I do have the condition and therefore my cardiologist wants my blood pressure as low as possible. She still refused. After complaining that she would be responsible if my aorta tore, she finally called the on-call doc. Again, though my condition is in noted in my chart, along with clearance from my cardiologist (who is the prescribing doctor), the on-call doc still refused to give me the medication. In the morning, I spoke with the day nurse who said she would ensure I got the medication that night. And finally I did. But a hospital that would allow me to go without a medication for a heart condition noted in my chart is clearly due a lack of knowledge, an assumption made, and a serious risk that could have resulted in dire consequences. The next night, a different night nurse refused to give me the Dilaudid pain medication I was on. Mind you, I just had 2 large screws removed from my fibula and tibia in my right ankle. And 4 screws drilled into my left ankle not even 36 hours prior. It was 10/10 pain. I felt like a bear was chewing my bones in both feet. I was in agony for hours, crying, and trying to breathe through the pain all night. The nurse finally offered me a Norco. I took it, desperate. It didn't even dull the pain. I asked for another and she refused. I was doubled over and nauseous from the pain all night. I never even got close to sleeping at all. When the morning nurse came in and saw me panting, exhausted and folded in half grabbing my bandaged ankles crying, she immediately ordered the Dilaudid. She was horrified that I had been in that condition all night long. It's clear the day nurses and doctors were much better trained, and cared more about their patients than the night shift. So a hospital that can't keep left from right straight, refused a prescribed heart medication for a condition noted in the chart, and a night shift that simply doesn't care that a patient is in agony is not a hospital I will return to. I advise you to go anywhere else you can. Worst experience I've had at a hospital.
