This is the single WORST hospital I have ever been to in my life. I could write pages on how terrible my visit was, but what resonated with me the most was the complete lack of compassion or empathy ( even just a little bit) that came from the Emergency room staff. There were a few nice people but overall. My RN and residency Doctor were complete ASSHOLES. As I tried desperately to get them to understand the pain I was in and why I was there ,they were snickering and smirking at each other like I didn't know a thing I was talking about, and talked down to me as if I was some hypochondriac looking to waste my time on a Friday. At least PRETEND to be nice. Your job is hard, but whats harder is paying 150 dollars just to WALK IN to the Emergency room all to have you assholes ignore me and look at me funny. Thats all I got. Good luck to everyone else.
Hospital inside is nice. I haven't had problems with the doctors. However, the staff never send over testing results to my physician or my kid's physicians. My doctor and their doctors have to bug radiology for test results. That is ridiculous. The construction is a headache. Finally, the parking! Omg! That is ridiculous! Not enough parking and the parking spaces are too small. It's like they made them for the tiny cars. Not trucks, vans, or SUVs. Of course you have the dumb people who don't know how to park either.
My husband was transferred to your hospital from a smaller one. We were transferred because they believed it would be easier for him to get the treatment he needed and see the surgeons he needed to see. We knew we needed two things, to get a CT scan, and to see the surgeon. Originally we got there thinking we would meet your thoracic surgeons, but they believed a general surgeon would be better for him. We weren't sure why at first. We learned it was because they only like to work on hearts and lungs and ignore the rest of the chest area. So very useful (sarcasm). It took TWO DAYS of us sitting in the hospital getting pumped with harsh antibiotics (which eventually damaged his kidney functions) for Dr. Tsung to show up initially. His team was useless as well. They didn't do a thing to help him. They said a lot of things like "lets test the liquid to see if it's infectious." Nobody made a move to do anything he suggested. The RN with him even wrote that she was "unable to get a sample" when in reality she said she just decided not to because she was unsure on what he wanted. That's very different than not being able to. Don't lie on the chart. In the end we stayed another TWO DAYS before that surgeon came to us and basically said he wasn't going to do anything. THAT IS RIDICULOUS! It took this guy FOUR days to say, nah can't do anything. Our Oncologist got the impression from both surgical teams that it wasn't that they wouldn't do anything, it's that they felt they weren't competent enough to do it. Sounds like we dodged a bullet then. In the end the general surgeon wanted to send him to Cleveland Clinic instead (which we've already consulted with) We had him instead send them the CT scan (that took 3 days to get) to CC and get discharged.
Glad to know that your surgery department is completely incompetent! Also very encouraging to have multiple communication errors that made the whole process a stress filled nightmare. Do your doctors talk to each other at all? Or read the charts ever? I'm wondering if they even know how. It was great being in your hospital getting kidney damage for no reason at all. Thanks. And if you can't tell I'm being extremely sarcastic. Never coming back ever again, and I hope no one I care about has to go to your hospital either. It was a despicable example of American health care.
First bad experience seating here on the fourth floor right now and the only dr is a resident available that can't answer why I have been here 24hrs and my daughter haven't got the proper medical treatment far as a iv for dehydration and no food or drink. She has pneumonia and she is on a orthopaedic floor. They want to keep pumping her with medication with nothing to eat nor drink nor iv and all he( resident) can tell me nobody communicated with him to why and the on call floor doctor want call him back . What happen to caring doctors, they get students in the hospital that ask you why some medication react to other medication you expect them to already know this.
This is how error happen and why people are scared to go to the hospital.. I'm so upset right now resident doctors running floors without assistant from a available doctor is getting out of hand I hope toledo don't get as bad a Utmc aka Mco..or Toledo is in trouble
New to myself as well as the nurses that took care of me after a 5 hour surgery. They did well as they saw fit for me, some weren't sure what I needed. They never had a patient with my kind of surgery. But they did the best they new how. So a many thanks to all the nurse's that help get me thru it. Still recovering and it has been 2 and a half weeks. 3 more months to go and then the swelling should hopefully be down by then.
Did a pretty good job. It was busy and did take a really long time . I understand. The doctor was knowledgeable. Very little chat though, seemed that way with a few people. Otherwise it was fine
This hospital treats its employees like garbage. Hands down the worst company to work for. Probably why the care here is so substandard.
Everything was great except for one huge thing. My wife recently delivered twin boys. She was a surrogate for parents from Norway. They had on the charts not to Circumcise as it is considered a barbaric form of Genital Mutilation for boys and girls in almost all countries except the US!! I was so upset for them because it was almost every nurse asking almost trying to sell this to them!! Even some of the Drs. We're asking!! I would have thought Toledo Hospital had better standards and ethics than to still even offer this kind of unnecessary cosmetic surgery for baby boys!!
May not be the fastest hospital at times but they get the job done right

First and foremostI am a retiree of TTH 2009..good hospital..I had a cardiac cath there recently..was impressed with staff..everything went wellwent home and day after developed a hematoma in groin area..went to ER Saturday ..not alot of patients waiting.got there at 5 pm and ended up leaving there at 11pm could not believe it! They called vascular doctor on call and he did not come in just relayed message without even seeing me. Should of had a vascular duplex ultrasound but would have had to wait til Monday because would not come in. What they did was a CT with contrast..I wasn't leaving without some kind of answer. A Level 1 trauma hospital without a vascular doctor on site? Terrible. I felt the ER was inefficient! If a vascular doctor is on call and is called in for a case, he should come in. Very disappointed in how the ER is run.
all of you complaining are idiots. its a f*cking EMERGENCY ROOM!!! the fact that you are still alive to complain means they did their job. too long a wait the vending machine didn't work you didnt have a pillow are you serious? sorry you had to wait th 5 year old in the next room drowned at home and we ere busy bringing him back from the f*ucking dead.
New computer system, can't find my records, supposed to call me back on test results and not the right phone number. I went home exhausted from waiting. Still in pain, nice doctors and nurses, great hospital, but I am still suffering and told it was just a muscle ache. Told me they were doing certain tests, and did not do them. Kind of disappointed. I had to complain about being in a room, just wanted to put me in the hall. I am sorry, no one should be put in a hall. Hire more ppl if you have to. ER was a mess..to many Indians and not enough Chiefs.
