NOT A SINGLE FREE PARKING SPACE! The biggest mistake Stamford has ever made! Doctors are doctors but this new hospital has completely lost the human touch and makes it all feel about profit. I felt like a number, not like a human. Very creepy experience.
This is a review of administration - not medical staff. I have had 2 experiences recently, one at main hospital and one at Tully. Main hospital was the sleep center and I sat for 20 minutes in their reception area while the ladies at front desk just chatted away. Eventually a PA arrived and called me by name to follow. At the end of my appointment he said "we want to do a follow up test that we will send you". Still waiting.
Today I call Radiology Scheduling and was on hold for 18 MINUTES - are you kidding me! Then I finally get through and slowly make the appointments for my wife. Then we get a call back 2 minutes later to say she had screwed up and had to reschedule her for a different date. Amateur hour. They want to create a "regional hospital". IMHO they are NOT ready for it.
UPDATE: 09/16/2017. We were referred by Stamford Health to a Gastro group at Tully who for some reason didn't have my wife's records. They had to request from our Primary and this was done. I now get a hand-addressed invoice stamped PAYMENT DUE, stamped EXPEDITE, stamped COMPLETED (dated TWO days after the initial request!) in the mail for $35.75 for 55 fax pages @ .65 each from Stamford Health "Medical Records Custodian". Who uses faxes anymore? You don't have a secure system where different groups within ONE healthcare system can access records? Who is running this joke of an administration?

I was in the ER at the end of July, for dehydration and chest pains, and it took the doctors/nurses over an hour to get an IV for me, even though the ER was completely empty. I was clearly nervous about being in the ER (who doesn't get nervous in hospitals?) and the staff chose to leave me alone for over an hour. When I first came in, they did blood work and. an EKG, but an hour wait for an IV??? thats crazy. If I can help it, I definitely will not be back here. I would rather drive to Norwalk hospital for my medical needs.
Parking is abundant and wrapped around the facility. All spots are close. Maneuvering around the campus can be tricky, but the signs and scattered attendees are very helpful. I see the specialists here. There are a number of quality physicians here.
I had both of my children at Stamford Hospital. They are now 11 and 9 and the nursing staff were marvelous! The aftercare was also outstanding as well as lactation specialists and other post-natal options. Stamford is a great local hospital. I plan on taking a tour of the new facilities one of these days.
2 night stay for a surgery. Better than I expected. Nurses were friendly. Doctors were compassionate. Overall, not a terrible experience considering it's a lousy feeling to need surgery/hospitalization. Nurse Taylor V kept me laughing and was very nice, nurse Kim was caring and friendly as well. Thanks for getting me through!
I had my baby at Stamford Hospital 2016 my experience was horrible I already new I disliked this hospital but I had no other choice. The Stamford Hospital ER is the worst place you ever want to come for treatment care only if you want to die come here the staff from the minute you arrive no compassion and rude they don't care. It's like you are at there mercy and they want to see you in pain and die. I had an emergency 2017 and Stamford Hospital ER was again horrible!!!! I Waited and waited and waited for help while everyone in the ER were laughing and on there cell phones clowny around while I was in horrific deadly pain and they did nothing about it. Unfortunately I was forced to come here or else I would have gone to Greenwich Hospital where the care is the BEST!!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND this terrible inhumane Stamford Hospital
Stamford Hospital gets BIG fat ZERO
A New fancy Stamford Hospital building with the worst Care Its a Corporate Cold and Inhumane Stamford Hospital and staff
My closest friend just delivered her 1st child in this hospital, and to say that it only compounded previous horrific experiences is nothing but a fair and accurate description. We will call my friend Kay. While Kay, in excruciating pain was forced to the toilet and had a nurse kneeling between her legs with a cup telling her she was going to sit there until the nurse collected her urine. The nurse told her she would administer a catheter if my friend could not produce urine. That was only the start of a degrading, humiliating experience that broke my heart to witness. After what equated to a nightmare of a delivery and treatment fit for the dark ages, I walked in the room to see my friend struggling to get up to use to restroom with tears on her face as she gritted her teeth and tried to move the IV tower with her while the nurse stood and took notes. I came in the room and assisted her and asked the nurse why she hadn't helped. She said, and I quote, " well she should go in there and clean up." My friend had asked for another sanitary napkin and mesh pantie as she was bleeding heavily. The nurse informed her that she was going to finish her writing and then "would see about grabbing that for her." As I took my friend into the bathroom to try and help her, we both cried. STAMFORD HOSPITAL is a shameful, pathetic excuse for a medical facility.
Went here to have my GF's Blood work. It felt like wondering inside a museum. Impressive improvement. The phlebotomist, registrar and the security personal were all professional. Thank you.
I have always said positive things about Stamford Hospital until recently when I had to receive care from the ED. I would like to start off by saying that I am an RN myself and I know good quality care.
When I got there a nurse started yelling at another nurse for not having an IV line started or urine collected (incredibly rude to yell in front of me and my family.. We all felt awkward). Secondly the nurse that was taking care of me didn't even smile or had any compassion towards my issue She was almost like a complete robot. When I started vomiting the nurse just stood there looking at another pts chart while I was walking around the room for a vomit bag. Everything was such a bad experience with a long wait time. I don't care how beautiful the new hospital is when their staff is terrible. They need to seriously hire different staff members.
Family member had surgery at the Tully Center and the experience couldn't have been any better. The registration staff and the pre-op nurses were wonderful; surgery went well as well. Loved this place.
