Evanston Regional Hospital

We had a medical emergency while in Evanston that required an ER visit then admission for several days. Out of many many hospital visits this was the best ever from start to finish. Absolutely everyone was attentive and caring to both patient and family. We were made comfortable both physically and in asking for anything at all. Staff were always positive and helpful to us and each other which made a positive environment in which to recover. Physicians were available and spent time, nursing staff helped us and each other so we never had to wait for care. Maintenance and dietary staff were friendly and did a great job. Very patient centered. Best possible experience under the circumstances!

We visited Evanston Regional ER after my son (4yrs) walking into the flight path of a speeding horse shoe. We were greeted withing a minute and taken back to a room. The nurse was very kind and quickly disarmed my scared boy. Dr Swenson saw us withing a few minutes and discussed the need for some staples to close his head laceration. He discussed with us the research about risks involved with CT scans on small developing brains, also discussed the symptoms my son did not show that would necessitate a scan. He was very informative and helped us decide what was best. He closed up the wound and had discharge papers within minutes. All together I think we spent less than an hour there, it felt like 20 minutes, it was very efficient and professional. I am an experienced trauma/critical care nurse, I worked for years in a bigger ER, I must say, I was impressed with the care, information and speed of the visit. I would absolutely recommend this ER when needed. Thanks for the great care.

We took our 3 week old son to the emergency room while we were on vacation! We were very impressed with how attentive and quickly we were seen. Deb(RN) and Dr. Swensen answered all of our questions and took really great care of our son. Thank you SO much for your help!

All the staff were very professional and concerned for my personal health and safety after having lightning strike near me that knocked me out. The staff was very thorough and made me feel comfortable and well cared for during my visit to the ER.

I went in when I was pregnant and and having pain and the useless doctor there wouldn't even see me!!! The sent me to Dr. Weston, who was awesome. And they still sent me a big fat bill. Thanks Evanston Regional, for no help or support at all!!!
