Appleton Medical Center

I had an excellent experience with the recovery room nurses yesterday afternoon, after my appendix was removed. Mary and Ruthie were especially kind, gentle, and went above and beyond for me. I didn't have anyone familiar to wake up to after surgery while waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up, and the anesthesia wearing off made me especially emotional. They were so so caring and helpful, they calmed me down so quick. I was very grateful to be in their care when I woke up. Mary and Ruthie, if you see this, thank you again

While I realize it's common practice to speak about the 'bad' in terms of healthcare, I also realize it's important to pay recognition to the medical profession. My mom recently passed in the ICU. Up until that point, I found the nurses, care managers, and Chaplains all to be informative and comforting. They checked on my dad regularly and provided support. One of the doctor's was a bit abrasive, but everyone else was great.

ER visit for my son's 2nd-3rd degree burned hand and feet was devastating. He was in excruciating pain and was left to sit 45 minutes while others that looked minor were given care. I asked staff for more ice as we were left along waiting in the ER room but she never returned. Finally I saw another staff person walking down the hall and again pleaded for help as his pain was unbelievable. Don't they prioritize patient needs? We were told that they were busy as patients from another hospital were being routed to Memorial. Once the nurses and nurse practitioner started treatment conditions improved. They were empathetic and professional in their care. We will not be returning to Memorial ER as they lacked the urgent care that was needed.

This place is horrible. My Dad is in the ICU right now. Ive been there every single day/night for the past 2 to 3 weeks and half the time theres no nurse watching him or no one to really update us on whats going on with him. Some nurse there eye rolled at us because there were so many of us there in the waiting room the first few days. Its not our fault we are concerned. She was so rude and passive aggressive and I wish I got her name. A lot of the nurses could do better. Would not recommend.

ThedaCare catches a lot of heat lately...I think mainly bc of mismanaging and decisions made by the big wigs...but we had the BEST experience one could have in the ER ...kid split his chin open. Dr Walsh and staff were excellent! In and out in an hour!
