    Went there recently for a day surgery procedure. All staff were really friendly (nurses, security, cafeteria stall, doctors...).

    My father, a 78-year-old patient, was brought to this ER following a fall at his rehab facility…read more His medical record clearly documented a tape allergy with a specific notation that tape causes skin tears. Despite this being visible in his chart, staff applied standard adhesive tape to his arm. When the bandage was later removed, it tore his skin open, leaving a wound that was still unhealed ten days later and caused him significant pain for several weeks. This was not an emergency situation. He was there for a head CT and was stable. There was no reason his allergy could not have been checked before tape was applied to his fragile, Prednisone-thinned skin. I filed a formal complaint and received a response acknowledging the issue and stating that staff had been educated on allergy documentation. An apology and a staff training do not undo the unnecessary pain this caused my father. Documented allergies exist for a reason. Patients and families should not have to fight to have them respected.

    I am thankful for the healthcare professionals and care team at this location…read more From the registration staff, to technicians and medical professionals, even volunteers and security, I have typically had a positive experience. 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.

    This review is a couple years late. But it just popped into my head, so figured I'd review now…read more It was around Feb. 2020. Which was near when Covid was becoming newsworthy. My wife had cancer and had been through 6 months of chemo, 1 month of daily radiation, as well as other treatments. This day she was having chest pain, and I insisted we go see what is happening. Turned out is was probably just anxiety. Anyways, I pulled up in front to let her out and park the car. But she told me to wait a minute. So of course I did. We sat for maybe 2 minutes in the car. Nobody around outside. No other cars. I just was seeing how she was, and persuading her to go get checked out. Then out walks a lady nurse. I'm thinking to myself, "good, maybe they will help persuade her to get checked out". Boy was I wrong! We were greeted with an angry, "What are you doing sitting here?" I said, "My wife has some chest pain and we are just getting ready to come in." Her response in a snarky tone was, "Well it's really weird you are just sitting out front like this!" I responded, "Well, we were deciding if it was needed to come in." Her response, "We can't help you, you need to go somewhere else!" It was a very weird experience. Thank God my wife was fine and it seems it was only anxiety or perhaps just something caused from her year of cancer treatments.

    i went in to be seen and had plenty of cash as i am not currently insured. after finding that there…read morewas a 50% higher price to be seen that what i saw posted online i asked about that and was basically talked out of being seen by a secretary and she gave me a pamphlet for financial assistance. i never said i was poor or broke, i was upset at the lack of transparency and understanding and left. not going back again and really hope that this improves for others as im just hoping im ok at this point and have lost faith in the industry. honestly sad excuse for a medical center.

    I got the call from my step brother, the rehab facility nurse at Pearl of Elk Grove had not gotten…read moreimportant instructions from the physician at Good Samaritan hospital who inserted my fathers gastric tube that feeding must be done with the patient at a 30 degree angle or food aspiration from regurgitation could be fatal. He died choking to death. I drove in from Milwaukee and came into Alexian Brothers Hospital through the wrong entrance, it's a lot bigger with different entrances than when I used to work on an ambulance decades ago. I came into the E.R. through a back way, noting the multiple signs warning everyone that aggressive behavior towards staff would not be tolerated. There were no obvious signs indicating where to check in, though I did come in the back way. There was no one in the window (picture a glass barrier like in a late night liquor store in a sketchy neighborhood) but a worker was having a long drawn out conversation with another woman that involved a lot of repetition. I asked a passing security officer where I should check in and he pointed to the empty reception window. The woman in conversation did turn out to be the one who was supposed to be the reception worker so when she returned I said "my father died, I think he's in room 9, may I go back there?" She didn't apologize for the wait, but the woman she was talking to offered her condolences (not a worker, either a patient or relative of a patient), and I was shown to a locked door and let in. Someone just inside that door pointed to a room directly across, I walked through the nurses station island to get there, the curtain was closed and inside my step brother and his wife were sitting crying next to my father's body. The litter on the floor suggested a full code was performed, as my father the former cardiologist would have wanted. I could tell by the medical litter they must have "done everything they could." Technically proficient. There was a cart with 6 cold cups of coffee, 6 plastic bottles of water, and some store bought cookies. Not sure if that was for us, or if there just wasn't room in the hallway and the cart was stored there. There wasn't much to say, it had been a tumultuous month of Dad struggling to not die in Good Sam hospital, a roller coaster of hope and despair leading to the debacle at the rehab hospital and then this quiet, lonely, grim scene. My step brother and his wife had to go pick up their young daughter from school and I was left alone with my father's body for a while. A long while. No one came to talk to me, not a nurse, not a physician, not a chaplain, not a social worker, not even a housekeeper. I have no idea who was with my father in the last two hours of his life, what they did exactly, what they thought, and of course none of those people had any interest in knowing anything about the human being who so recently occupied this body. Nobody had any interest in who I was sitting with this body. When my father was a physician, he felt it was an important role to comfort family when patients died. He used to moonlight at Jackson Park Hospital Emergency Room where I saw him do this with grace and empathy. As a medical professor he would teach his interns and residents at the University of Chicago and then Rush Presb St. Lukes how important it was to practice compassion and care for survivors when patients passed away. As an attending physician he always checked in on his patients whatever hospital they ended up in, whether he was on staff or not, and he often attended patients' funerals. When it came to his turn, medicine had become a corporate capitalist business devoid of humanity, he died very much alone. I contemplated this, also, very much alone. When I opened the curtain to leave, all eyes avoided me and I left without so much as a goodbye. From the bottom of my heart I wish that whole Emergency Room crew better when it's their turn.

    Not very clean Shortage of nurses…read moreBilling department outsourced outside the US and they suck. Unfortunately it is the closest to my house and my PCP is associated with them. I like my PCP.
