St Joseph's Hospital, Inc

My son was in for mental issues. Requested 3 times for call from the doctor before he released my son, never got that call. 1 week does NOT cure mental illness. This doctor better hope and pray that if something happens at my son's hands, cause he will have met his worst enemy. Not only that, but a family plan was never done, doctor never made ANY kind of contact with the family, before he decided to release my son. If I could give a 0 rating based on that, I would. My son is 18, but he signed the release for the doctor to talk to me, so why couldn't the doctor pick up the phone and call me???

I took my 1 year old son here a few hours ago and I was in and out very quickly. The doctors were patient, polite and even danced for him to keep him calm. They gave us a prescription and sent us on our way. Definitely one of the better hospitals I've been to.

I was admitted here awhile ago, they did not follow sanitary procedures and never sterilized after a blood draw. One doctor notified me of my unusually high white blood cell count, the second tried to convince me my Leukemia was just in my head, "Sometimes anxiety makes you exhibit physical symptoms."

This hospital trusts vision and opinion over medical diagnosis. My arms itched for weeks because they cannot follow basic sanitary instructions.

The worst. Checked in at 7 last night. It's now 12:21 the next day. Haven't seen a behaviorist yet. The night staff was kind and attentive, but day staff is mean and nasty. The place is filthy. One of the security guards has no business being in a mental health facility. He argues instead of trying to calm the situation.

Terrible bedside manner and customer service. Forget to take IV needle out at one visit and 3 hours behind at another without letting me know. Avoid if possible!
