Saint Vincent Hospital

Very nice staff. Nicest of any hospital I have ever seen. A wonderful employee in radiology waiting named celeste constantly checked on folks.

AVOID St. Vincent's IF YOU CAN!!! They're nothing but grifters. My mom just had her 7th knee surgery there. She contracted MRSA from them during her first surgery, it spread to her other knee when it was replaced, and despite the fact that our family has repeatedly asked them to clean both knees during this surgery, the doctor simply extracted fluid from it to test. This infection has been ongoing for the past TWO YEARS!!! This is the same medical team that has done all of her knee operations, and all I can surmise from the fact, as this is the third surgery THIS YEAR that we have requested both knees to be cleaned at the same time, and the doctors have refused, and the fact that whichever knee does get cleaned gets re infected because the MRSA is living in the other and then moves over, is that these doctors, led by so-called surgeon Adam Smith, are using her as a cash cow and bilking as much money out of her as possible. This cycle is going to happen again, and again if nothing changes. I love my mom, and I don't want to have to plan her just because these greedy doctors refuse to honor their word and their oath. And it is appalling that we are forced to use a hospital and doctors that Don't care about their patients simply because of the insurance company that covers her. Its all about the money for them. If you can avoid these grifters, please, save yourselves.

My mother in law had heart surgery at this hospital to save her life. Her case was so severe we were emotionally and legally prepared for her death. But let me say for starters this facility or at least what we seen of it wasn't clean. Its not well kept in terms of building maintenance. During her stay prior to actual surgery date her nurses were extremely rude and rough with her. One nurse even called her a liar when she told them she couldn't breathe. There is no communication between staff during shift changes and alot of the nurses treat the families like they have no business even being here. On her actual surgery day the nurse treated all of us like we were uneducated and a nuisance to her. While in the waiting room, unsure if she would live, the "hostess" which I believe is a nurse but may be just a receptionist, had her children in the waiting room and they were also very loud and unruly. My husband's family have hardly slept and I don't feel that this is professional at all. In a place this big there should be a day care so that we don't have to hear baby shark on repeat or kids bickering. If we wanted to deal with that we would have brought our own kids.

My mother-in-law was admitted to the ICU yesterday and my husband and I stayed in the ICU waiting room the nurses where amazing,brought us blankets. But the hospital really needs to be more accommodating with some lay down chairs.

My mom has and having a horrible experience there. She can't get them to help her get up out of bed to sit in a chair. You ask for a nurse, it takes at least 3 hours before they may come in the room. Then not do what you asked them in there for. Served cold food and no silverware. If I could, I'd take her out.
