Aspirus Wausau Hospital

Disgusting practices, my wife webt to the e.r and cant afford insurance so when we told them that their eyes lit up and they ran her through every machine they could to raise the bill. They take advantage of low income people with no insurance and bill them out of their home. Wi never go back

My husband Dale who, in final Dementia stage, was treated with dignity, compassion and respect while waiting for placement in a nursing home. I am so grateful ..

All I can say about this place is that I wish I would have paid more attention to the poor reviews on google. We had time and were given the options of a transferring hospital and we were told Wausau was a great place to go when we asked about. I read the poor reviews but felt maybe they had been written under stress and that surly nothing could be as terrible as what was written. I was wrong. It is as terrible as what was written and worse. We were on the surgical floor, so the basement level, the lack of communication between doctors, nurses, and patient's is the worst I have encountered. Truly if not for a radiologist who flagged a floater type surgeon on the day before our discharge I am not certain we would be here for me to type this. Our admitting surgeon left on vacation a day after our arrival, our replacement surgeon wanted as little contact with us as possible stating we were a difficult case and we were not assigned to him, even though the condition was getting worse we were set to be discharged before the floating out of town surgeon came into our room at midnight and said he was doing surgery. After this sadly he left a day later so the care returned to being minimal but we were able to get out of there 4 days later and return to the care of our primary doctor. I am so upset about the care here that I honestly no longer even want to go to the area to shop, something we did on a monthly basis, and even while typing this the nausea is setting in. For those of you who are like me and believe some of the poor reviews surly had to be written under stress, we left there 3 months ago and I still have not forgiven, forgotten, or gotten over the total lack of care that this place offered. There were a few good nurses, our nutritionist went to bat for us and verbally reminded our surgeon that he had a job that he was being paid to do so G-d bless her too and of course our radiologist who took the leap and grabbed someone else to help us but overall the care was the worst I have encountered. The hospital itself was actually dirty with the floors constantly having dirt and lint collected in the corners and universal precautions were a joke here and a nurse in the hallway while we were walking stopped us and picked up something from the floor and wanted to drape it over or IV thinking it was ours, even if it was we had a PICC line in for the love of G-d, you do not pick ANYTHING up off of a hallway floor and try to attach it to a patient. What is wrong with these people.

A family member is in the hospital and there has been no coordination of care, conflicting reports as the patient was transferred from ICU to an inpatient floor to rehab floor. A different doctor each time. Should be seeing a specialist but hospital is unwilling to transfer. This is not where critically ill people should be - they should be transferred to Marshfield or Madison.

Worst emergency service, seriously injured patients need to be more urgent. Seriously a joke.
