    Edie at the front of the ER lobby was rude when asked when my 6 year old with a gash on his forehead would be seen by the doctor for the stitches he received. Ended up leaving after 2.5 hours had elapsed because his needs weren't met. Went to Mount Vernon Deaconess and was seen in exactly 27 minutes with three stitches placed. When I hear people coming into the lobby saying I don't feel well I feel sick and my son has a 3/4-in long gash near his left eye that required stitches and it wasn't acute enough to be seen is nonsense.

    Waited 9.5 hours to be seen while actively bleeding and in agonizing pain. We complained and were immediately threatened with removal. We were 4th in line when we arrived. Absolutely ridiculous. If you can go anywhere else you should. These people do not care for you. They torture you instead.

    My experience, a good Samaritan in Mount Vernon Illinois was very good. Facility was clean and nice nurses. Doctors and staff were very concerned about my health. I would recommend this hospital for anyone’s future health.

    I had a great experience from the moment I walked in until I walked out. The security staff is friendly, as is every single person I dealt with while there. The telemetry nurse Ivan (?) listened, was kind, and took my symptoms seriously instead of being dismissive. I was immediately put at ease. I especially appreciate the demeanor of the nursing staff, the two gentlemen who did my CT Scan, the student doctor, my physician, and the phlebotomist. Thank you for caring for me and getting me out of the ER so quickly.
