We had such a…read moregreat experience on the Labor and Delivery Floor (3rd) that it makes me want to have another kid. The staff in the delivery room was welcoming and the room was cozy. My wife had a great experience - felt comfortable, safe, and informed throughout the entire labor. She loved her OB, Dr. Barry - she was encouraging, honest, compassionate, and patient with us. She took care of my life and I really appreciated her for that. After delivery, you're taken to the Mother Baby rooms with what have to be the best nurses in the city of Chicago. They're honest, quick responding, funny, and obviously love their jobs. Thanks Rose for the newborn bath that put him to sleep for 4 hours! Chris and Lauren, thank you for answering our questions and making us feel confident in becoming parents. Martha, the on-site lactation consultant, is professional and was eager to teach my wife all about how to breastfeed. Overall, we felt welcomed and supported while on the 3rd floor at Mercy. Really, we just want others to know about this hidden gem because we hadn't seen any reviews about it online. Thanks to the entire staff on the 3rd floor.

There's nothing more terrifying than finding out a loved one has been rushed to the hospital. Your…read moremind immediately starts racing. I was on my way to a gig when my sister called, frantic our other sister, who was visiting for the weekend, had suddenly fallen ill and was taken to Mercy Hospital. I dropped everything and headed there right away. When I arrived, there was confusion about visitors, and my sister was asked to leave so they could treat our patient. When I was finally allowed back, I was alarmed by what I saw: my sister was unconscious, foaming at the mouth, and lying on her back with no doctor or nurse in the room. I immediately turned her on her side so she wouldn't choke. After waiting about 10 minutes with no staff checking in, I went to find help. Nurses in the area couldn't tell me who was assigned to her, and I was given paper towels to manage her condition myself. After about 30 more minutes, I finally found a nurse at the desk who said she was assigned to my sister. When I asked why no one had come to check on her, I was told my sister had been "extra drunk," combative, and had spit on staff so they essentially left her there. Despite this, she had still not received fluids or proper care. The nurse also mentioned her shift was ending soon and that someone else would take over. However, another hour and a half passed with no one checking on my sister. Eventually, a doctor briefly stopped by and said she would wake up in a few hours pending toxicology. When my sister finally regained consciousness, she was disoriented, confused, and not behaving normally. It took multiple attempts just to get assistance for something as basic as helping her to the restroom. At that point, it had been over four hours with little to no care. We requested a toxicology report, especially since her symptoms suggested she may have been drugged. Although blood had apparently been drawn (there were even remnants left in the room), we never received any results. The room itself was also concerning there were gnats and visible lack of cleanliness. When a new nurse came on shift, the attitude was dismissive. We were told we could leave, even though my sister clearly wasn't stable. When asked to collect a urine sample, the nurse refused to assist and said it was only being done to "satisfy" us. We complied anyway, but to this day, we have not received any follow-up or results. This was one of the most neglectful medical experiences I've ever witnessed. My sister could have choked on her own vomit. Over the 4-5 hours we were there, I don't believe her assigned nurse ever once checked on her in the room. Thankfully, we were there to advocate for her but that shouldn't be necessary for someone to receive basic care. I'm sharing this because no family should have to go through something like this. I truly hope Mercy Hospital takes steps to improve patient care and accountability so this doesn't happen to someone else.

Until this place I had never been to a "health facility" that made me feel worse after going, then asked to pay exorbitantly, with insurance, for the experience.

COVID19 Testing Appointment November 2020…read more I'm rather disappointed by the length of time and lack of communication involving our COVID test results. We booked with them after reviewing the various options and even took the time to provide all insurance information before the appointment as requested. Well, earlier this week ... was told the results are sent within 24-72 hours. No results yet and this is day 4. On the good side, swabs are administered in your car. The staff arrived before I could text the number on the placard and in less than ten minutes, testing was complete. In a pinch, perhaps but with the some reservations.

I have been going to this urgent care centre on and off for seven years…read more It's a safe and well run place. They know what they're doing. It takes less time than an emergency room, and even if you're paying out of pocket and have additional questions about something completely unrelated to the reason you randomly walk in for, each doctor respectfully takes the time to answer the question and if they can't they are quick to provide an appropriate referral. I always get there just before closing bc of work and I've never been met with anything but kindness... These guys are great and I think that collectively they could run a hospital. It's a really good place.

HEY, Thurston H: MAKE SURE you pass this along…read more How do you review EVERYBODY? I met perhaps dozens of people. This is for the Emergency Dept. and Ninth Floor Kellogg. I'm in the Northwestern system, but the ambulance had to take me to Rush because it's so close. All I can say is that EVERYONE did a tremendous job with me. They responded to every request I had. They explained every test, procedure, IV and medication--which I demand--without me having to drag information out of them. I didn't feel like I was caught up in a slow bureaucracy, or was just another revenue source. They made me very comfortable as I was improving. "Close the door and turn off the light please." And they did, every time! Sounds small, but it was a huge comfort. They thought of me instead of only making things easier for themselves, which I've experienced. When I could eat real food, I got a big plate of pot roast and mashed potatoes; not bad! But who eats that much? :-)) One HUGE problem. The in-room phone rang off the GD hook with AI robocalls trying to sell me everything from funeral insurance to grocery programs to therapy. I needed to keep the phone live because my mobile phone was dead for awhile. If I hung up, they'd call back Immediately. You know how many distractions there are to sleep in a hospital? THESE CALLS DOUBLED THOSE INTERRUPTIONS. Woke me up EVERY time. RUSH: These calls are a substantial and authentic obstacle to getting well, which is your business. I mentioned it to a doctor, and he had a resigned "That happens." NOT good enough. They've GOT to do something about that. It felt like way more than a coincidence that those calls were coming in. It is nothing more than TOTAL B.S. But I'm reviewing the people here. P.S. THANK YOU (name redacted) for slipping me that cup of ice water. Whew.

Now my wife went there for a second opinion on open heart surgery and guess what? No one I mean NO ONE has gotten back to her yet 7 months later and the excuse they all use is I'm waiting on your medical records. I can be treated like crap for free I don't need to pay for it. If you value your life and you are hell bent on coming here stay on them because if you don't they will forget all about you. And, before you ask I have one of the best insurances in the country, so getting paid was not a problem. In closing there are too many sick people and not enough doctors to take care of all of them and it's so easy at RUSH to fall through the cracks. A side note my primary care doctor was AWESOME Dr. Austin ( in Indiana small clinic) very very professional.

The biggest pro is that everyone is very personable, and the MA & doctor both had excellent bedside manner. It was genuinely a good experience while I was being looked at. The biggest con is the wait time. I initially walked in around 9:30am, hoping to be looked at 10-10:30am and make a work meeting by 11. However, I waited until nearly 10:30am (an hour later) and ended up leaving because I had to go. I returned with a booked appointment for 12:30pm, and I wasn't looked at until almost 1:45pm. Numerous people that arrived after me were taking in first, and I'm not sure why -- maybe it was a triaging thing. This is a great place to get your immediate/urgent care done, but note that it's not really immediate. If you can find a way to kill the time, you won't be disappointed. However, if you plan to be in and out, you may need to consider another location.

Make sure you get your parking validated. -"Sky Lobby" (waiting room on 7th floor) has a nice view, but prepare to be ignored by the rude and lazy desk staff. Also be warned that it's hot and stuffy. Everywhere. -Pharmacy: Everyone at this place calls it "DCAM". Helpful to know ahead of time. Note* You will more than likely be going back & forth to this pharmacy multiple times to wait in line because their staff & doctors do not communicate well. It's down on the 1st floor; a long a trek from the super slow elevators banks behind a stairwell in the noisy lobby where sometimes there's a person playing music and it echoes terribly. - Picking up a patient from surgery is confusing. Getting from the parking lot to the pick up spot which is tight lane of gridlocked drivers. Hard to see any street signs so unless you know the name of every building on the campus have fun. The Center for Care and Discovery (hospital) is a headache. Good luck.

Patient Beware! UChicago REQUIRES everyone to sign a contract for any care will be given. I observe…read morethat most people don't bother to read what they are signing. They may be sorry later. UChicago receptionists routinely lie to the patients, (something like UChicago needs it to bill your insurance or for privacy). If you request a copy of what you are about to sign, you will see that it is 17 pages of legal contract allowing them to charge you, process bills for collections, including legal fees, and distribute your personal confidential information to just about anyone you can imagine (without any limitations). I find it difficult to imagine the government or American Medical Association allow doctors and hospitals to coerce patients needing care. No wonder it is so easy for criminals to steal someone's identity.
