My elderly dad neglected and severely mistreated
This hospital is a disgrace to medicine. My elderly dad was admitted with a fractured humerus on Tuesday, March 21st 2023. He waited for over four hours in the emergency room, staff was aware of the fracture and his heart conditions yet left him unattended and unmedicated for hours. He never saw a physician, only a physician’s assistant and was diagnosed with a comminuted humerus fracture. They did not check his ribs or body for additional fractures. He was discharged night of admission with no pain medication to take home, despite it being after hours and all pharmacies closed. He was discharged with an IV port FORGOTTEN in his arm, this could have been nearly fatal as he takes blood thinners and the hospital and staff were aware of his medications yet did not do their due diligence upon discharge. He has now seen another doctor at a significant better practice, who determined he lost two PINTS of blood internally in addition to fractured ribs. Do not go to or send your loved ones to Emory St. Joseph’s, they will be neglected and severely mistreated.

Surprised and disappointing
ENTIRE staff: lackadaisical, FACILITY: unkempt, NURSES: inept, PHYSICIANS: inconsiderate. EXPERIENCE: disappointing. Never used to be this way.

They f&$ked up my mom
Don’t come here for heart surgery unless you want a stroke. My mom had her heart surgery a few months ago here and had a massive stroke during her surgery. Doctors didn’t even know she had a stroke til she woke up the next day. She can’t move, can’t talk, can’t eat and she’s emotionally distraught. She’s being fed thru a feeding tube. She’s been crying a lot. I’ve been really depressed from seeing her be sad. So unless you want to get a stoke don’t come here and don’t bring your relatives here for heart surgery. These people don’t really care about you. Thanks for f&$king up my mom heart surgeons.

Absurd wait without triage
I went to the ER around 2:30 am and basically got put in a waiting area for three hours without anyone taking a look at me. They said they didn’t have any more rooms so they couldn’t do anything until a room came available. It’s absurd to keep sick people waiting without any triage. You should be diverting people if you cannot accommodate them. I should have been notified at the check in that there were no rooms available. Instead you had me sitting until I couldn’t wait anymore. Worst ER experience I have had!!

I'm furious.
I'm furious. I went in with major tongue swelling that had cropped up that morning on the advice of my doctor, who was concerned about my airway being obstructed. I offhandedly mentioned that I had mouth ulcers as well but they had been present for about a week. I waited a couple hours to see someone, they took my blood, then returned several more hours later and handed me a pamphlet on mouth ulcers. It would be like going in for a severe rash, casually mentioning you had a headache, and waiting several hours for them to hand you a pamphlet on headaches, tell you they couldn't do anything for your rash, and send you on your way, charging you over $700 in the process.

Not operating per standard
Be prepared to advocate for your loved one if they choose this hospital. My father recently had surgery with a three night stay. As a healthcare provider I was extremely disappointed with the care he received. His gown was not changed throughout his entire stay, he was not bathed until discharge (third day), his bedding was never changed and he was not provided a call light until discharge. The hospital staff did not work as a cohesive unit to ensure my dads needs were met. This is not the standard at which any hospital should be operating.

Disgusting
Mother went into a surgery that was supposed to be 3 hours and ended up being 6.5. At no point was my family informed about anything that was happening. Even after she was “in recovery.” The doctor didn’t come out to give updates. Emory-DO BETTER.
