University of Maryland Medical Center

My father had surgery today and we were here before 5:00 am but the valet parking attendant came out to assist me in parking my car. From there it was smooth sailing, the registration was about a 15 minute wait not bad at all since the room was full of patients that had to register. We went up to the visitors lounge and waiting for them to call my dad. All the nurses, the anesthesiologist, his doctor were so nice to me and really cared about my dad. I never waited and they were very attentive. The food was delicious and I enjoyed it pricey and all because I was there all day long and they did not give me a problem about staying overnight. They provided linens for me and made me feel comfortable. As I read the reviews, I was shocked and my experience was totally different. I guess there is always room for improvement and everyone/everything is always works in progress. The people that work at this hospital give there all and try to be excellent all the time but they are also human. I am just grateful for the care and wonderful bedside matter that you do not always get in Jersey.

The doctors & nurses in peds are great. But I'm disabled and needed a Shuttle to transport me from the Er to Redwood garage. I've been waiting for an hour and have called twice and still no shuttle. Did I mention that I called at 9pm & 9:30pm. This is just ridiculous

Great Hospital fully professional staff Doctors are highly professional lab system are accurate specifically nurses in ICU patients friendly. I have stayed in ICU for 5 days no complaint at all. Keep moving public friendly umbc wish you good luck.

Saved my life and my daughter's life. I have been coordinating patients for ancillary services throughout the health system for years and the patient centric commitment is truly the primary concern.

My 15 year old daughter had a horrible undiagnosed condition for a decade. She was admitted on a Friday to UMMC pediatrics. On Saturday, with the help is a CT scan, they diagnosed her. Dr. Lumpkins had her on the OR table on Tuesday. 3 days post op she was completely out of the crippling pain she endured for 10 years. Dr. Lumpkins not only saved my daughters life, but gave her the quality of life that no other doctor could. She was completely professional and answered every stupid question my husband and I had. She talked to us like we were family and made us feel extremely comfortable in a dire situation. The nurses cheered on my daughter for every milestone she made during her 11 day stay. I would highly recommend, both, the surgical team and the pediatric hospital to anyone that has children.
