  My experience at St. Joseph Hospital was extremely disappointing and unsettling. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, I was mortified by how my child and I were treated. During triage, a staff member came in to draw blood and perform an EKG. She was not personable at all and asked my son if he was going to pass out before taking his blood, which immediately made the situation more stressful for him. After being told my son would be taken to a room, we were instead escorted to the psych ward, 😳. We remained there for over an hour before a nurse finally came in and asked if my son had the flu because that’s what was written in his chart. I explained that he was not sick and was there for severe chest pain. The nurse appeared confused and said they were preparing to give him a flu test. I said no, there’s no need no one is sick! She then said the doctor would be in soon and closed the door. At that point, my child had still not been properly assessed for chest pain, and we had been waiting an unreasonable amount of time without any check-ins or updates. When I expressed concern about how long it was taking for a child to be seen, the response was dismissive. I just wanted meds to get him comfortable while we wait. 🤷🏽‍♀️ We ultimately left around 4:15 due to the lack of care and communication, and the staff’s attitude made it seem as though we were the problem, despite being ignored for over two hours. I have worked in healthcare and understand delays happen, but this was not acceptable. Leaving a child and parent in a psych ward for hours without appropriate evaluation, communication, or bedside manner is unacceptable. I have been to this hospital before and never experienced anything like this. Needless to say I took him to GBMC since they have a Pediatric ER. Checked in by 4:35, tested, evaluated, seen a doc, X-rays done and more within the hour of checking in! This experience seriously needs to be reviewed by hospital leadership. 1/6/2026 @ 2:15am!

  The biggest concern is no handicap parking in front of the building like they have In GBMC and Franklin Square because it’s taking by valet parking, it’s ridiculous for people with low income, not affordable

  My wife is alive today because of this hospital. She died for 6 minutes 2 days ago. Her heart stopped and the ICU team brought her back to me. Their quick action, and ability to notice the emergency before the monitor even picked it up.... Thank you! My kids have a mother and I still have my wife BECAUSE OF YOU!

  Fantastic! I was only in for a colonoscopy so in for the procedure and out about 90 minutes later. Everyone was so nice. The pre procedure staff, the post procedure staff and everyone before and in between. So nice, so incredibly helpful. Everything went so well I would use this hospital for emergencies and future procedures. I got great care from this facility and can't recommend it enough.

  Creo que si pudieran dar más estrellas lo haría! No solo 5 estrellas sino 100000 estrellas. Excelente atención, hermosas y dulces enfermeras. Muy profesionales y respetuosas. Personal médico muy profesional, tuve a mi primer bebé aquí hace poco y sin duda alguna volvería a tener otro más. Creo que jamás en mi vida encontraré otro hospital así tan impecable como este, no tengo ninguna queja. Su personal de salud está capacitado para todo y cabe recalcar. EL TRATO DE LAS ENFERMERAS A LOS PACIENTES ES ALGO HERMOSO, son unos ángeles, deberían reconocer más su trabajo ya que lo hacen con la mejor actitud y con un corazón hermoso. Ellas hacen excelente labor. Dios las bendiga a todas es lo que más recalco de esta institución, ellas estuvieron conmigo en todo momento Dios bendiga a estas enfermeras
