After a significant stay of over three days, which included a surgical procedure, I can confidently…read moresay that Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) provides truly world-class care. I am highly impressed and incredibly thankful to be a part of the Allegheny Health Network. From the moment I arrived, the quality of care was evident. The entire staff--from the administrative team to the dedicated doctors, nurses, and surgeons--were not only competent and talented but also genuinely friendly, patient, and attentive. Every question was answered with care, and I always felt respected and prioritized during my recovery. Beyond the medical excellence, the hospital environment itself was superb. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the attention to hygiene was constant and reassuring. Even the food was delicious and provided great comfort during my recovery. I was also deeply touched by the thoughtful details, like the substantial care package and the puzzles provided to help pass the time--a small gesture that made a huge difference in making the long stay feel more manageable. Allegheny General Hospital exceeded every expectation. If you are facing a stay or surgery, I would highly recommend AGH without any hesitation. This is an exceptional institution.

Absolutely disgusting attitudes. These nurses are unprofessional, nasty, and just plain rude…read moreindividuals. I guess the nation wide nurse shortage really just puts these hospitals in the position to have no choice but to hire any raggedy licensed bird off the street. VELMA had the most shitty attitude ever, and so did her weird ass charge nurse. I asked to speak to a manager bc the nurse was rude, she said you can speak to my charge nurse, I said I've already spoken to her and she was also rude which is why I asked for a manager and this useless, ignorant, and pathetic excuse for a human going to say "WELL... MY manager isn't here, won't be here until 7" in the nastiest most rude tone ever. Total lack of professionalism, empathy or compassion at all for the situation.

Kimberly Fritz should be fired from her position as a mental health RN…read more 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.

I actually had a pretty good experience during my stay at UPMC. It's hard not to when you show up…read moreand you're dying and they fix you up. My problem is not with the care I received. I did not have a choice on the hospital I went to, UPMC was the only place open and I was hardly even conscious when I arrived. For the love of god, if you have any choice on where you get your treatment, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. All Hospitals are expensive, but usually they are willing to actually work with you on the things they charge you for. UPMC has told me on no less than 4 occasions now that they will absolutely not work with me on my bill. I asked for explanations on things like the 10,000% mark-up on the same nausea medicine I get over the counter for $10, and every single time I'm told "Oh that's what it costs, this is a teaching hospital!". They don't even try to explain duplicate charges. I have been forced to take a ridiculous amount of time off of work to jump through their hoops only to get absolutely no where with them. Bonus points: Apparently the emails they have listed all over their website are not actually in use. They say they'll send you information in the mail, important things like the financial aid application you requested, and then they just won't. But they are real quick to threaten you with collections!

However once admitted, my daughter truly had the best care. Every doctor and nurse that cared for her were so thorough and really listened to us. Every person that walked in our room never left without asking if we needed anything. Every. Single. Time. Like I said, you never want to find yourself here but if you do, you will receive extraordinary healthcare for your little one.

I am sharing this experience in the hope that it serves as a warning to families of elderly…read morepatients--especially those who do not have a strong advocate present during their hospital stay. My 87-year-old mother, who has congestive heart failure, underwent a scheduled 4-hour surgery to repair both her bladder and bowel. We arrived at 5:00 a.m. for a 7:00 a.m. procedure. We were told by the surgeon that she would recover for approximately three hours, be up walking, eating, and likely discharged the following day. She was finally brought to her room around 2:00 p.m. At that point, she had not eaten in over 24 hours. I called the cafeteria to order her lunch, supper and breakfast to ensure that she would have her meals. When we left later that afternoon, staff were gathered in the lounge talking, and this became a recurring observation throughout her stay. All staff were in their twenties and it brought back memories of the Lord of the Flies. That evening, my mother called me in distress. She had not been walked, was unaware she had a catheter, and was in significant pain. While on the phone with her, we timed her call button--no one responded for 15 minutes. The following day, I attempted multiple times to get updates from a physician, Dr. Erika Ong, and request an additional day of observation, given her condition. Communication was extremely poor--calls go through a general number, and no one identified themselves clearly or provided direct answers or direct call back numbers. When I arrived at the hospital that evening (after a 1.5-hour drive), I discovered my mother had received neither lunch nor dinner. She was also dehydrated, with 3 empty water containers. When my husband raised this concern with staff, instead of addressing the issue, the situation escalated unnecessarily. A nurse accused him of using inappropriate language, which did not occur, and security was called. Meanwhile, the real issue--an elderly patient missing two meals--was not promptly addressed. She was eventually given a microwave pizza at 8:00 p.m. Over the course of her stay, several critical issues arose: * She was not walked for over 24 hours' post-surgery * No one explained the meal ordering system - for which I have attached a photo of the system * Communication from doctors and staff was inconsistent or nonexistent * We were not notified of a heart episode she experienced at 3:00 a.m. * Staff repeatedly avoided providing names or clear answers One nurse, Appithany, and another, Olga, were compassionate and helpful, and I am grateful for their efforts. Unfortunately, they were exceptions. I also attempted to escalate concerns through a patient advocate, but was misinformed, denied the ability to document the conversation, and ultimately never received the promised follow-up. My mother was discharged at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday from a Thursday operation, and it truly felt like an escape from Alcatraz. The entire experience felt chaotic, disorganized, and lacking accountability. Basic patient care--nutrition, mobility, communication--was not consistently provided. This experience highlighted serious concerns about staffing, training, communication, and patient advocacy. I strongly urge families with elderly loved ones to ensure someone is present to advocate on their behalf at all times. I would not feel comfortable taking my family dog for treatment here. This will be escalated to the PA Department of Health as well as Medicare.

According to its website, it provides assessments and treatments for cold, flu, COVID-19, sinus problems, infections, allergies, rashes, migraines, sprains, strains, orthopedic injuries, and more. Days ago, my husband had a bad fall, and he suffered many injuries. He felt concerned about one particular area of his body, so I recommended that he go to an urgent care. He chose this one. He did not complain to me about the employees here. He said that the staff did an x-ray, and their interpretation was that his rib was not fully broken but might be either slightly cracked or bruised. They said that his rib would heal on his own and to take pain medication. The staff also briefly looked at his other injuries and said that he was doing OK and would heal over time.
