Miriam Hospital

Came into the ER around 7pm on a Saturday evening for a pretty embarrassing (to me!) issue at the urging of my PCP, and the waiting room was packed. I checked in and was taken back for vitals right away. After vitals I was brought directly into a room, without being sent back out to the waiting room - I know they triage and wait times are based upon the severity of the condition - which was great as I’ve spent hours waiting in ER waiting rooms before. Everyone that I came into contact with - my nurse and both doctors, as well as the folks in radiology who did my CT scan - were friendly, courteous, took the time to listen, and made me feel super comfortable because I was very anxious and embarrassed. They truly went above and beyond to make me comfortable and assured me that they see this issue on a daily basis. They were super quick with treating me, the longest wait was waiting to get my CT scan done, which was approximately 45 minutes to an hour at most... and again, that wasn’t awful compared to past wait times. After my CT they read the results, and got things “moving” as soon as possible. Once we were finished up, they got me discharged quickly, explained all medication changes, and answered all of my questions. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Careful of the ER group at this hospital. You may get a big bill from the ER Doctors - Brown Emergency Medicine. They do not disclose but they are separate from the hospital. So if you check that the Miriam Hospital accepts your insurance you might get a big bill from the ER Doctor group as they do not accept the same insurances as the hospital. A 600 dollar bill for 5 minutes. Brown Emergency Medicine group does not mediate in good faith when you try and work out a reasonable settlement. Stay away from here.

Horrible, the nurses in the emergency room are incompetent and very rude. There is no privacy. Everybody is aware of your business. Don't waste your money and time going there. I spent hours waiting to get a benadryl. I was in pain.

They saved my dad's life when he had a heart attack yrs ago and went there for my daughter 's head injury and the dr we had in the ER seemed to know what he was doing. He said he was the only one there and they don't usually have any other Dr's who specialize with children so guess we basically got lucky he was there. All the other staff seemed pretty respect

To whom it may concern Frustration among healthcare staff: The lack of ability to share information in real time can lead to delays in communication that cause friction among medical staff. These incidences can create workplace conflicts and impact the quality of patient care as well as the success of a medical practice. Please have the Mens Health Center Contact Chief Commander Grazie
