Saint Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta, Inc

I had a horrifying experience at St. Joseph’s emergency room the other day. My blood pressure was 215/90 and no one even cared to administer anything for at least two hours. Just checking blood pressure EKG and x-ray but nothing to lower it. I was at a risk to get a stroke or a heart attack. If it wasn’t for the pain medication I asked for I could’ve been dead because it lowered it a little bit. I’m back to see the doctor five or six times are the best I got was a physicians assistant . I felt totally disrespected. I am a nationally and internationally known songwriter and musician. I thought I was in a Third World country. Nothing work there but TV and my monitor was constantly beeping but nobody came in. Somethings got to be done. Do not go there.

Well, I would like to deliver better news about the Emergency Department at Emory Saint Joseph. I came here after a car accident. I was triaged right away and promptly assigned a room. That’s when the waiting began. I never spoke to an actual doctor, only a physician assistant. I waited in a hallway for an hour to get a CT and X-ray. Granted, everyone I encountered has been super nice and friendly. It seems like a welcoming place. But the actual care leaves much to be desired. They didn’t draw labs or do anything but send me to the hallway to wait for CT. They discharged me and told me to go ice my injured shoulder and knee. I was not given a wheelchair escort out, even after having sat for almost four hours. I overheard someone getting stitches and private conversations. Overall I am underwhelmed with my experience here.

Fantastic hospital! The staff and doctors here are phenomenal. They took great care of my mother during her kidney cancer ordeal. We were amazed at how caring and professional they were. If we ever need a procedure again, we will choose here first.

Horrible Emergency room Staff . RN Sereena To be Exact has the Worst Attitude of a Care giver I’ve ever seen . My grandpa who is 80 years old was trying to joke with her multiple times and she Continuously ignored him and when she was answering his questions it was just a Mm. No eye contact, no direct answers, was flopping his arms around while doing a EKG and while putting a new IV in . Sereena you should Literally just Quit . Like common sense tells you To at least respect the Patients enough to make them feel Comfortable while they’re at the HOSPITAL. Clearly you you became a RN for all the wrong reasons . Worst RN I’ve EVER dealt with.

Nice facilities; caring and knowledgeable staff. Thanks for continuing to take great care of my mom, esp. Dr. Stetler and nurse Lora and nurse Jasmine. Keep up the wonderful job!
