UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside

I am currently a patient on 5G at UPMC Presbyterian. I have been cared for by an incredible group of caring, hardworking , focused people who take their jobs seriously. I am impressed with their competency and expertise. Thanks to all who care for patients on this unit. You are some of the best. JLW

My husband was on the 10th floor west of Montefiore. We are waiting for him to be discharged. The day shift nurse claimed she didn't know he was being d/c'd. Now the home health company says they can't have his IV antibiotics there in time and he may have to stay at the hospital for another day. Such a mess!!!

I’m a out of towner visiting my Aunt whom was on the 8th floor when I was sent down to the emergency area to get a work excuse but somehow the lady MACKENZIE was very rude due to the fact that they don’t do work excuse notes but I was sent there by nurses on the 8th floor. Mackenzie took it upon herself to get smart with me which started a altercation between us two. I asked to speak with manager which she refused to get instead got another employee named Sarah. Which Sarah wasn’t no good either. She ended up leaving didn’t even care. I was told by Sarah that the nurses on the 8th floor stay sending people to the emergency room for work excuses. I apparently stated that they’re not taking you guys serious then. However I had to go back up to the 8th floor to get an excuse by Doctor Hudson in the Neurosurgery which should had been done the first time when I asked. This hospital and what they did that day was very unprofessional and unorganized. Instead of just giving me a work excuse they told me to go down to the emergency room. I though this was the way this Pittsburgh hospital operates which was new to me because hospitals I go to back home give work excuses without no problem instead of going to the emergency room.

As a big fan of UPMC Children’s Hospital, I find Presbyterian to not be on par with the UPMC way. Needs serious upgrades, the staff is okay but not always caring oriented. Parking is terrible especially for disable people. Doctors seem to be the only good thing about this hospital, everything else is just ehhh.

Great staff.. very friendly and informative
