Beautiful hospital with genuine caring staff that give you the best care possible! .
We were in the Pediatric unit and the staff was wonderful. Brooke and Linda were our favorite nurses. Only wish was that the rooms were a little bigger and a bed would have been offered for me instead of asking for a cot. Perfect otherwise.
Recently my brain injured mother had to be taken to the ER at St Mary's after a very bad fall. She fell head first onto the edge of a sidewalk. While they did do a CT scan, the completely inept and irresponsible staff decided to NOT x-ray her skull. They refused to do so even after my Father, her legal guardian, asked them to. They claimed her "skull was fine". Well assholes, it's been about a month now and her skull has been x-rayed and it IS broken. There are now questions as to whether or not her vision will be impacted and many other problems as a result of them not doing their due diligence. We do every thing we can to give her the best quality of life we can and the workers at this hospital decided it was more worth while to save a few bucks than ensure her quality of life not be negatively impacted. Do NOT take your loved ones here unless you want to experience the joy of ineptitude.

I had my baby at St. Mary's in March of 2016 and the care was absolutely excellent. I have been in several hospitals all over the country before and this one was by far the most pleasant and attentive. All my wishes for labor and delivery were respected and accommodated as much as possible, even throughout my very difficult and complicated labor and delivery. The nurses were kind and understanding, especially about the fact that this was our first child and we didn't really know anything about childcare. They even sent us a nice congratulations card from the nurses after we got home! The prenatal classes at the hospital were also very helpful--I especially recommend the postpartum class and the breastfeeding class. My employer gave me the option to switch to a different health insurance company with exactly the same coverage for about $90/less per month, and I refused because I would have had to go to a different hospital than St. Mary's.
Not that anyone wants to be in an emergency situation, but today, 9-4 at 530 am we ended up here. Upon arrival the GALS at the front desk were amazing. A special thank you to the elderly man who was on gard. He took my keys, parked my car and came back to me with a valadated parking pass. WHO DOES THAT??
What angels. I hope with the info I have furnished you can reward these people. They along with Chris, our er nurse, went Above and BEYOND for us today
❤❤❤❤❤ St. MARY'S..
We had a wonderful experience visiting our friend at this hospital yesterday. There was a nurse on the night shift at the Psychiatric Department named Carol who was so attentive and caring. She was so professional, caring, trustworthy, patient, kind, and seemed truly invested in bettering our friend's situation and health. We appreciate Nurse Carol's efforts and want everyone to know that there is some great staff at this hospital. Thank you Nurse Carol!!
On 2.22.17 @ 1p I went in to have my baby boy. As soon as I got there they did their routine and come to find out I ended up getting severe pre-eclampsia. I didn't have him until 2.23.17 @ 12:56p. I was in labor for a total of 36+ hours. After being there for 12+ hours and my kidneys shut down they then decided it's time to have an emergency C-section. They had to bring my son back to life. I was not happy. And he was in the NICU and while being there the doctors weren't listening to me when I kept saying for the first three weeks of his life there's something else wrong, and they kept telling me that there wasn't and so when a lady came in from UW and spent like a hour with us and then she knew that my suspicion was right. In conclusion was an overall bad experience. So now needless to say he's at AFCH getting the care he deserves.
I wish I could give zero stars due to the treatment I received at this ED. I came in via ambulance. I was visiting from out of state and had my back go into spasms. I was unable to walk and the Hotel insisted I go to the ED. Upon arrival I was asked numerous times if I was going to kill my self. Apparently they had me confused with another patient. After I convinced the RN I was not suicidal he left the room. The PA entered asked me questions and prescribed 1 hydrocodone for my pain. A new nurse brought me my paperwork and escorted me to the lobby where I could wait for hours for my sister to pick me up from 5 hours away.
I have never been treated like this at an ER.
I am a nurse
I am not suicidal
I am not a drug seeker.

I had a hysterectomy, and my entire care team was wonderful. Kayla and Kris, nurses on my ward, were especially wonderful! They were very caring, always making sure I was comfortable, just really great nurses. I'm very happy with this hospital.
My mother was hospitalized on 11/11 to 3sw. The nursing staff was good and I realize probably overwhelmed with the patient/nurse ratio. Her hospitalist, Jim Lehman, came in at 0600 on 11/12 when mom was still asleep. She has short term memory loss, therefore does not know what he said. There was no note in her chart until later in the day. He did stop by late in the day so I could talk to him. He asked what time I'd be in on 11/13. I told him by 0800. I arrived at 0750 and he had all ready been in. Again, no note regarding his visit and mom said she was only half awake when he was here. Wouldn't it make more sense to document your note when you're actually with the the patient then rely on notes or memory. Very frustrating. PT was in once on 11/12. No idea if they will be back in or not.
Overall, we are not terribly satisfied with her care. She's left sitting in the chair with the door shut to her room without anyone coming in for hours. Again patient/rn ratio is probably overwhelming, and I can't fully blame them, it's the health care "industry" of cutting costs and overhead.
