Parkview Medical Center

My dad has been in and out of Parkview in ICU, the OR, and on the Cardiac floor and has received excellent service and friendly faces in each spot. I can't say enough about the care he received from Jeff, Tawny, Dalton, the nursing students, the wound care nurse, and a lot of other names I didn't catch. I worked at Parkview over 20 years ago and I'm glad to see that exceptional patient care hasn't changed!

I went yesterday for stomach pain. Some of the worst pain I have ever felt and i have had 3 kids and kidney stones so... They did blood work and CT scan.. Told me nothing was wrong. Wasted 5 hours of my day. Less than An hour after I got home my primary dr called me and told me my CT showed i have colitis and needed to get into a GI specialist right away. They sent the referral for me, provided me with anti nausea meds and pain pills because the emergency room suggested ibuprofen, which I told them I can not take because i had gastric bypass 3 years ago. They also questioned me heavily about me having to have a hyserectomy at 25, then proceeded to do a pregnancy test on me anyway... I was given Tylenol and zofran in the E.R. which provided me no relief and i told the nurse that multiple times. This hospital doesnt want to treat they just want to take your money. They also treat everyone like drug addicts and wont provide those who those who need pain medication what they need. The only good experience ive had thru parkview is Dr. Hug at childrens clinic and Dr. hunt as our OB. Their specialists are great but everything else.. Lacking.. Also it should NOT take FOUR times to start an IV line..

This hospital has poor customer service especially in the ER. One of the staff members named Jeff needs to learn how to treat customers with respect and dignity, it is no excuse to yell at customers and treat them as if they do not matter. You have clients in there that deal with several illnesses, what gives you the right to yell at them and tell them they don't matter oh, what gives you the right to tell them they have to wait longer just so you could walk around and claim you're doing your job. Jeff what gives you the right to tell customers that other people are waiting just as long as they are, what gives you the right to tell all the customers in there that they need to wait longer when theie life can be on the line? In addition your other male co-worker needs to learn how to speak to customers, it is no excuse to tell customers that you are short-staffed that everybody's way long and that they want to see other emergencies first you guys need to learn how to do your job or find a new job, Walmart is hiring quit the hospital your CEO will be here in about this expect to be called into his office within a week. this hospital needs to have a thorough review by the American medical association and any other organization that oversees the hospitals funding and practices. The CEO needs to deal with his staff and these problems. This hospital is a joke. for anyone reading the positive reviews understand that those of reviews may have been created by the staff and relative of the staff themselves. Mr. CEO why does your orderly staff allow their relatives to go into the hospital areas that have been closed and why do these staff members direct everyone else to the ER; however, not their actual relative isn't that a form of favoritism for a family member?

Rude ER staff that laugh and joke in the halls about patient ailments. If you want to be disgraced for needing medical attention, by all means this is the place.

Service eventually received was adequate, not outstanding bit decent. The wait in the er was approximately 3 hours and upon discharge at 11:45pm, I was shuffled out of the facility with no transportation option unless you have enough money for cab fare. Unfortunately my initial ride cancelled due to the extended wait time and I was $5 of cab fare (with less than 5% cell phone battery)! However, security wouldn't even allow me to stay in the waiting room and chagec my phone while establishing another ride. Apparently they rather a young woman walk alone at midnight to the east side in the dark for 3 miles....
