Kimberly Fritz should be fired from her position as a mental health RN. She did my intake after a suicide attempt. When taking my history, she accused me of seeking attention. When I told her I would be willing to try antidepressants that had failed me as a teenager, since I was now an adult and the medication may affect me differently now, she accused me of simply not taking my medication regularly as a teen. When I told her I had experienced "brain zaps" and my doctor didn't know or didn't explain what they were, she accused me of lying. When I was recovering, she woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me I was probably going to be arrested. She is the exact example of why people don't seek help with mental health. I firmly believe she has shamed many patients before me, and some of them might not be here today because of her. I didn't seek further treatment for over a year due to her atrocious behavior. I had no energy or self esteem to make this complaint at the time, which is common among those struggling with depression. I was fortunate enough to get help from a different provider that worked with me, and I'm better than ever now. read more

where do I start. A cardiologist stringing our family along that he would get permission for a heart surgery at st Clair only to tell us MONTHS later to go to AGH. NOW my mom is too sick to get the life saving procedure. Then mom falling and going to the ER and tons of test were done (she's 81) including checking to see if hip broken. Upon being admitted they found a Kidney tumor. After release mom complained of hip pain, so searching all the files in Follow My Health, turns out an x-ray they did in the ER showed arthritis in the hip. When I asked patient services why we were not informed they literally said "we don't have to tell you everything we found. The kidney issue was more important" THE HECK?? THEN when a port was put in the kidney at the tumor site, they were supposed to see if a stent in the ureter would be needed and do that at the same time. But because their HVAC went out for 5 hours, once mom was taken, they rushed. And when I asked the doc if they put the stent in, he had the NERVE to say to me that he "couldn't find the ureter". THEN WHO CAN???? Me? the Ureter fairy? This hospital is the absolute worst read more

Excellent care ! Very compassionate and caring pediatrician explaining everything to me after the birth of my child.

I gave birth here back in March so I'll speak on that experience. Overall it went wayyyy better than I ever expected it to go! This was my first baby so I had no clue what I would be in for but all the doctors and nurses made things super smooth and as simple as they could be for me. No issues or disrespect from any staff, I felt taken care of, and 3 months later baby and I are still healthy as ever! read more

St Clair Hospital - My baby! - Hospitals Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I wish to God I could give zero stars. Having SVT and being forced to go to this hospital is flat out wrong!! Last Monday the ER Triage staff treated me as I was seeking attention, a druggie & if I collapse in their waiting room I will be left there. I have had it!! Scummy hospital!! I took an Uber to a UPMC hospital which was $50 and stayed there. UPMC is by far the much better hospital system than this run down, low class crappy hospital. Among Scott Twp EMS being dicks & forcing me to go to St Clair, I have complaints for them too. AVOID ST CLAIR LIKE THE PLAGUE!! read more

This review is more about the Neurologist here, Dr. Mark Edward Hospodar. We thought we were going to see Dr. Barsouk, and we got in on a cancellation and got Dr. Hospodar, hoping to get more insight on my father's recent Alzheimer's diagnosis. I am still appalled at how condescending, insulting and rude this 'doctor' was to my dad... he ridiculed him for not knowing where he went to college and how many kids he had, asked him things like how he expected to drive a car when he didn't even know those things, the list goes on. It took us 3 days to calm my dad down after this horrible appointment. I doubt he will see this, but if he does I would say it's amazing that at his age he doesn't recognize that people with dementia are still people - still human beings that deserve honor and respect. I can only hope for his sake that if or when he gets dementia, he will find someone who doesn't treat him the way he is treating these people. We haven't been able to get my dad to go to any doctor since this appointment because of his experience here. A degree doesn't make you a doctor. read more

Came to the ER tonight, presented to the check in complaining of chest discomfort, rapid heart rate, left arm tingling and facial tingling. Also stated I threw up. Reception asked how long this has been going on, and replied for the past one hour, but has been festering mildly all day. Waited over one hour, thinking I would be seen rather quickly since presenting with symptoms which could have been a heart attack. Checked in at 8:35pm, waited and at 9:40pm decided to leave since I had started feeling better. I find it funny the average wait time at this ER states 28 minutes. Tonight skewed thy average. I would have given zero stars if I could, but the valet working was the only gold star working at this EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. He offered a bottled water as I waited. Thanks to him. Besides that, I will never return to ER, and will highly deter anyone to go to this ER unless absolutely a last resort. read more

I have an adult daughter who needs a little extra help from us, she unexpectedly had heart surgery a year ago January,at UPMC Presby, absolutely wonderful. Afterwards,we had to choose a cardiologist, we chose Dr.Pray, due to the wonderful reviews. My daughter had two very bad heart valves, one they were able to correct, the other was replaced with a mechanical heart valve,because of this she is on blood thinners for the rest of her life,and has to check her blood levels weekly..So this past week,she has been having some issues that she had before her surgery,called the office to get an appt to see Dr. Pray,she is told we don't have anything until August 2,and that's when you are due for your six month checkup anyway, first the checkup was due long before August,she tells them that she is having issues that are concerning her, still, can't get you in till August... SERIOUSLY this is my daughters heart....Calling my/our PCP, who can get her in on this coming week ... What is going on with you people, she isn't calling with a runny nose, she's had heart issues and calling her heart Dr.... When I settle down, I am calling to see who she spoke to .. I plan on putting this review everywhere it will allow me. read more

My advise is to beware. seek second opinion if something does not seem right. I was in St Clair Hospital for four days and was misdiagnosed. when they released me I was still ill and given improper follow up instructions. After getting second opinion at Allegheny General Hospital I was given proper treatment. I called St Clair and told them and I wrote a letter. I received a letter in return that they would submit my concerns to the physician review board. I never heard anything more but did receive lots of medical bills for treatment that was for a wrong diagnosis. read more

St Clair Hospital - Me with my eyeglasses - Hospitals Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A place to stay away from at all cost. Tuesday before last I spent 4.5 hours and was given antibiotics which prescription was sent to my pharmacy. Dr Friend was an ass, dressed in a black t-shirt as if he had just walked out of a Guns n Roses concert. Last Monday night took my daughter with a heroin overdose and they would not let me in the triage room until after the performed a "work up" whatever that is. (A possible nude rundown). Of course she said "dad let's go to another hospital." The funeral homes offer much faster service. They'll take care of you in 20 minutes! read more

Received a letter of apology from St. Clair Hospital, Mt. Lebanon PA for an Emergency Department complaint. The Patient Representative apologized for the communication issues we experienced with the attending Physician. It is your typical pathetic response from the Medical Profession. In my opinion there was no communication issue due to there being no honest attempt by the Attending ED Physician to listen to all of the patient's symptons, which drastically changed during the hours the patient was in their care. No empathy, compassion, no time given to a full exam for possible concussion or worse. In other words there was no respect for the patient worries and concerns. Sad, so sad that when you are older and retired that this type of 'Care' occurs too too often. St Clair Hospital needs to do better. We will never use St. Clair Hospiral Services again. Too many issues each and every time. read more

My daughter was transferred to ER from med express because they feared appendicitis at 2 pm in the afternoon. The woman at the er took her paperwork and had her sit in the waiting room. Over two and a half hours later she was still sitting there in severe pain. I called the ER and the person who answered asked me was she at St Clair? In Mt Lebanon? They didn't even have her listed. They asked me to hold on. I said ok. Someone gets back on the phone after a few minutes. So I start telling him what I told the first person. This was the nurse in charge, Kyle, and he was utterly cold and heartless. He asked me, just like the first person, if she was at St Clair hospital. To which I replied yes. He asked did she register? "Yes, med express sent her over and the lady at the desk had her paperwork." He told me "it doesn't matter if they were sent from their PCP or Med Express or wherever. They are triaged accordingly." "we have 50 people in the back and twenty more waiting in the waiting room." Yet, he couldn't find her name anywhere, not even anyone with her last name which is not an uncommon name. He said he didn't see anyone with her last name which is not an uncommon name. I am beyond frustrated and told him, "then you guys screwed up. You need to find her." He refused to even acknowledge that they could've screwed up. I told him it's been over two hours and she is in severe pain. His response? "I'm sure everyone in the waiting room is in pain. People don't come to the emergency room just..." I can't remember what he said after just because I could not believe my ears at the condescending tone he used. I started off this conversation very nicely but he is a nightmare. I've never dealt with someone so horrific. How does Kyle even have a job?!?!?! And as the nurse in charge?!?! I called my daughter back and told her to go to that desk and tell them she is in pain and find out what is going on because Kyle said she is not there. Even that lady asked if she registered. After looking through some papers, my daughter was miraculously "found". shortly thereafter she was called back. DO NOT EVER GO HERE IN AN EMERGENCY!!! You can clearly see how horrible their ER is from these other reviews. Why is zero stars not an option? read more

Awful administration. Valuables stolen. Uncooperative patient advocate and internal police force.

The worst care ever Ask about getting a cab was told they don't do that anymore, took the things off my chest like a goofball and it still hurts The Doctor was ok but the rest of the crew were mostly morons Never again read more

I wouldn't bring my dog to this hospital. Wait times are ridiculous., severely understaffed and No communication regarding when you will be seen. In addition, it's absolutely filthy! It's like something out of a third world country. After waiting 2.5 hours in the waiting room to be seen for excruciating back pain emanating down leg, we left and went to AGH. Walked in and were seen within 10 by the doctor. Everyone so friendly and helpful. The ONLY nice person at st clair hospital was the young parking valet who assisted with the wheelchair!! read more

Fast and eveyone was super professional! Everyone seems to know what they are doing and kept things going.

I went to St Clair under severe pain from my Dystonia (Uncontrolled body movements) they gave me a shot of Benydrel and Valeum which knocked me out for a few hours. As soon as I woke up the attending physcian noticed I woke up she stated "Oh good You can go home now. There was no discusion with me. Shotly after I woke up the movement and pain returned and i informed the doctor of this and she statedthere is nothing more that she can do and discharged me against my will and she left followed up with a male charge nurse with a wheel chair who told me with an attitude I had no cHoice. Then the charge nurse presented a 72 hour Phys evaluation in a very nergative manner which looking back on I ask if I should have taken it? As I write this I am in severe PAIN As i write this I am trying to decide if to take the the OXYCODONE that knowingly prescribed to a person in recovery If I could give negative stars I would read more

St. Clair Hospital is horrible. I delivered Twins there and for months now I've been fighting with my insurance company and St. Clair Hospital about the bills. For some reason when I had my twins, they only submitted one twin to be covered under my insurance. The other twin was not covered. I have been fighting with my insurance and st Clair hospital to cover the other twin for eight months now ! If I could give zero stars, I would. I blame the billing department at St Clair for this monumental screw up. I highly recommend West Penn Hospital as I had a better experience delivering my son there, and had zero issues with his birth and the bills. I implore anybody giving birth to not use St. Clair Hospital. read more

Avoid this hospital AT ALL COSTS. My sister was admitted a few days ago for severe dehydration and starvation from chronic vomiting and they gave her an antipsychotic drug to treat her nausea. Today, she began to have parkinson-like muscle spasms and contortions of her extremities. Three nurses were called in repeatedly over the course of 6 hours, and they all scratched their heads and said "hmm, that's weird!", the doctor was apparently informed of these symptoms and did not come in until 8 hours after the initial symptoms. It turns out she had a severe (but common) reaction to the drug they have been giving her, and delayed treatment can cause irreversible damage. This hospital is negligent. read more

The ER and ICU MDs did not recognize, in my humble opinion, spousal abuse/ neglect. I begged to be heard, and the last MD I asked to listen, thought I was joking, all the way to discharge. I still cannot believe their hear-no-evil attitude to me. I believe that almost a decade of life was tainted by this. read more

This is a great, smaller hospital. I spent four days here and had a very positive experience. My family, who came and went to visit me often, also said everyone was nice and helpful and caring.

I highly recommend this great hospital for its people. read more

Worst billing department ever. I made a payment plan with them only to find out that for my !one! visit there, they made me three separate accounts! So, while I was making timely payments on my account according to my payment plan I have a voice recording of with their billing department, my other two accounts were unknowingly past due and sent to collections! Also, they wrongly sent me to collections DURING THE COVID LOCKDOWN!!!! And I have been a medical biller for 20 years and own a medical billing company - I know what I'm talking about! Yes, the sleep center there has nice staff but, everything after I walked out of the hospital has been an absolute nightmare - none of my family are ever allowed to go there again. Would NOT recommend. read more

I went in last night with what I was afraid of as heart issues. I told them I had shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness and chest pain. I was told to sit down till there was a room available. I never went through got looked at for a thing. I sat there from 9 pm to 12:30 am. I asked if they even had my name on the list. I was told I was down for weakness. Thats not what I came in for. Then I was told there are four people ahead of me and to sit down. I would've rathered went home and died of a heart ache then sit there for one more min. With blood smeared on the wall and drunks coming in making a scene. I will drive two hours away before I ever go there again. They were rude and apparently don't care about someone who prese With possible heart issues. read more

Amazing staff. Everyone from the first hospital employee that gave me directions to the department I was looking for, to the nursing staff and doctors, to the registration team was so kind and helpful.

My wife was hospitalized at St Clair in November. No complaints about the quality of care except at checkout when she was hurriedly discharged without much information on follow-up care. Doctors appeared infrequently and sometimes gave inconsistent information. But the worst part about this hospital is their absolute indifference to patients' concerns. Specifically, we have tried to obtain my wife's medical records for 12 days. Their online tool, Followmyhealth is complex and does not work. We have called St. Clair; no one answers the phone. We have left messages; no one returns our call. We have mailed in a document specifically requesting my wife's medical records. No response. By contrast, UPMC's MyChart is superior and very easy to use. The bottom line is, once my wife was discharged, no one cared. No one answers the phone, their online tool is complicated and unworkable, they don't return phone calls, they don't respond to mail. Pretty awful. read more

Recent ER visit was less than desirable. Presented via ambulance with ankle fracture . No vital signs taken , not once did a nurse look at my ankle to assess circulation, swelling or pulses . PA was first to assess this . No ice applied til after splinted. Given crutches and sent out the door. No assessment as to safety using these. Given scrip for narcotic pain med but never signed by practitioner . If I ever need an ER again this will not be my first choice . ( unfortunately closest facility that took my insurance after injury occurred). read more
