I hate to be the one to do this but Post a MVA I was in the ER . Worst experience ever. The staff was dry with no bed side manners. More concerned about a paycheck then ensuring everything is ok. Anyways now I am ready to settle a bill but found some issues with some of the coding they charged. I was charged with medication that the ER doctor never wrote me. Literally told me “he seen no concern from my test results and I will be sore that’s what happens when you get into a accident “. Ok at the I didn’t fuss because I was just thankful to be walking away from the accident with nothing majorly wrong. Called The billing department and spoke with a Damien who seemed unbothered and rude about the situation. Of course all in his scripted words on what to say to patients. My only advice Is to make sure you always ask for a itemized receipt. Medical insurance fraud and falsifying medical records is illegal. I can only hope Damien holds up to what he said he would do and call once the situation has been fixed.
I like the hospital ok. But they really need more consideration for patients. People generally don't come to the hospital because they feel good. So why make them register in one area, then walk 2 miles to do an MRI. These are recent stroke survivors, elderly, people with bad backs, etc. Wheelcairs should always be available. Plus if you go to do radiology, why can't you just register right there in the same area. Not like this stuff is free. Jewish makes too much money to be inconsiderate.
This place is great. They don't "just practice" medicine here. They actually know what they are doing.
The ER reception, nurses and doctor were all amazing. They were kind, understanding, respectful and efficient. We started across the street at the other hospital and walked out after 5 minutes to come to Jewish Hospital and were SO glad we did!
I recently had a kidney transplant at Jewish Hospital (2-28-17). I also had a previous transplant in 2003. The staff during recovery were great! Thank you to the wonderful nurses and assistants!! Nancy, transplant coordinator, was absolutely amazing and made sure I was kept abreast of what was going on and helped with anything I needed! The food was good! This hospital does have a disconnect with billing and the road getting approved and for people offering to donate did not go so well. I am still getting billed for testing for one possible donor 1 1/2 years later because they will not properly bill my insurance company!!! I hope attention will be given to those areas so this program will can continue and be successful.
My daughter was very sick indeed. We went to Jewish because we had been having such terrible care from Norton's, and to be truthful, we were a little afraid because of all the bad press. Surprise, surprise! The emergency room was clean, clean, clean, the care superb. When she got to the room, the bathroom was as clean as any I have ever seen in any hospital, and I have seen a lot of hospitals. The nursing staff was uniformly kind, competent and caring. Even the surgeon smiled, something I thought they were trained never to do. In short, we are now committed Jewish Hospital patients, even though I think the whole Catholic Rules thing stinks.
I had a CABG &lung surgery Good Dr.Grubb and staff were very helpful and courteous I'm recovering well God bless y'all John Sweeney aka Slim
Total waste of 4 hours today. Had kidney surgery saturday and they were absolutely rude towards me. They also messed my neck up after the 4th try putting a central line in. Had to return to the ER due to the severe pain and vomiting from the surgery, per urologist orders. I spent 4 hours in there just for them to draw blood and CT scan. The doctor and nurses were very rude the whole time. The doctor refused to order any prescriptions for pain, nausea, etc telling me that he didnt feel comfortable doing it and for me to see my primary. This is clearly after getting evidence I am in severe pain. To top it off, they refused to give me a city bus token or cab voucher to get home. Yet they did give a drunk guy, who stunk badly, a cab ride home. This hospital is very rude, dirty and always slooooow in treating people. I will never come back here nor would I ever refer anyone here. I have lost all hope in finding a hospital who actually cares about their patients and will help you. Shame on you Jewish for the rudeness and incompetents
Demanded $250 up front. Turns out this was an overpayment out of my pocket of $150. Still trying to get my money back. At first they lost my blood work and then came back to get more blood because of it. When the nurse was reviewing the medicine she was about to give me it was someone else's medicine. I hope I do not have to go back to Jewish.
I was transported from Taylor County to Jewish Hospital on March 10th. 2017 by ambulance after being diagnosed with Afib. I was admitted to the Heart and Lung Center around 10 pm. I cannot express enough how caring, friendly, and accommodating the nursing staff was throughout my weekend stay. Not only were they concerned for me, but they also looked after my husband who stayed with me through the weekend. I always felt that I was in good hands because of how thorough and knowledgeable they were. I was also very impressed with Dr. Solankhi who came in to see me both Saturday and Sunday morning. I would never hesitate to recommend Jewish Hospital and I would like to once again thank the nurses and the doctor who looked after me during my short stay. So thank you so much again!
