I see a counselor weekly because of my PTSD from almost dying
Dr Roth nicked my artery during a routine surgery and failed to recognize it and I almost died. I bled internally for 4 1/2 hours and REPEATEDLY complained to my nurse about the pain and she ignored me. I pressed my call button and for over 25 minutes I was ignored - nobody came up and nobody answered my call. I’m crying and a random rapid response nurse came in because he heard me crying. I went into shock and lost a lot of blood and had to have a transfusion. My same nurse failed to recognize I had phlebitis after telling her 4x she finally called a specialist to move my IV and the specialist was upset that the nurse didn’t listen to me so that’s another ongoing pain. She also made mistakes with my bladder - another ongoing issue. Dr Roth admitted he messed up and apologized saying that this only happened one other time about 25 years ago and how he felt so terrible. I have ongoing pain and my recovery time is several weeks now instead of about a week. I see a counselor weekly because of my PTSD from almost dying and I’ve missed so much work that I’m struggling financially. Don’t go here become there’s no recourse for his mistakes and the patient advocates didn’t do anything. Nobody cares that I almost died. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else unless you want to be neglected.

Froedtert Hospital is the place if you dislike someone
If you have a family member that you greatly dislike or someone you hate then great news! Froedtert Hospital is the place to put them. We talk with doctors who give us information about our family member and their condition. We all come to an agreement about what to do next. The next thing we get is a phone call that says that the team is doing something either unscheduled or blatantly wrong. There is no communication between the doctors, the team, or anyone else. We would get the worst possible news followed up by news that negates everything that was just said for no reason. The rooms are dirty and the devices like remotes and lights are in bad condition. But hey, at least the food is cheap. I think I'd rather just tough it out and walk off a fatal wound than be placed in the hands of Froedtert Hospital

I have had multiple bad experience at that hospital
I went to this hospital for my epilepsy. I am traumatized by the experience I was treated like my mom instead of me I am 48 years old. I have had EEGS my whole life. Been in and out of hospitals my whole life I know what they do. I am supposed to one sleep deprivation while I am in the hospital The same with lights I got 2 nights of sleep deprivation and multiple times of lights in my eyes. They kept me seven days I was supposed to stay three. I made the decision to leave on day seven but they wanted me to stay longer.

They don't seem to care unless you are dying
This was my first time visiting the ER and all they did was provide Acetaminophen to reduce the headache. The wait time to see the doctor was absolutely disgusting. I waited for 3.5 hours and after that, they told me to wait for 3 more hours. I immediately decided to leave without receiving any care. DO NOT waste your time visiting this place if you have an emergency, it's a total waste of time.

Would not recommend Froedtert hospital to anyone
Mom mother was sent here from appleton to see specialist for her condition and all the did was put in an IV and took pictures. This whole team of Dr's crap is ridiculous they are never on the same page and all the do is confuse a person. 4 hrs to get discharge paper work, people get out of prison quicker. Very disappointed in this whole hospital experience. Very concerned patients son

It look like a 3rd world country in the ER waiting room
The triage rooms were nasty & the bathrooms were disgusting. This used to be the hospital to go to but not any longer. Place is definitely no place you want to be treated at !!!! Staff unorganized & definitely not professional here. Won’t depend on them to save my life!!

Horrible the staff horrible upper management
Horrible short staff always dirty literally! Bathrooms dirty rooms dirty floors dirty emergency department DIRTY environmental services dirty the cleanest part of the hospital is the birth center LITERALLY!!! The way that the hospital has gone down hill is very sad they shouldn’t be investing any money into building when the staff is TRASH!!! If you call head management out they try to fired you make something up! Crumbs hair and more in the waiting room chairs they definitely not too far from st joes

Absolute WORST experience I have ever had in a hospital
I've been transferred 3 times losing the majority of my belongings during the transfer. I brought my own prescription medications from home and they've refused to give me the meds prescribed (not the ones I brought. The ones they have on site) I had a cesarean while here and was treated horribly by 1/2 of the staff. Not all. Some of the staff have been extremely helpful and I wish I remembered their names to call them out and thank them for all the help they've given me during this time. They are definitely in the right field!!, but some of the charge nurses, and a few of the Nurses it has been an absolute nightmare to be in their care. I wish I knew their names to call them out as well. Please try to be more compassionate and kind to the ppl that come into the hospital needing care. We don't all want to be here to begin with.

I wouldn't recommend Froedtert to anyone with trauma
My partner was in a serious motorcycle accident and was transferred to Froedtert from another emergency room. The care he received was very poor. The hospital does not have the proper doctors for the trauma he endured. There was minimal communication about his condition and treatment. The surgery he had did not resolve much of his trauma. Some of his injuries, especially soft tissue, were ignored completely. His brain injury wasn't taken seriously, doctors came in to see him very early in the morning and woke him up to talk. He remembers almost nothing from his hospital stay and the staff refused to communicate with me about what was going on. We have been completely on our own for follow up care. He will need more surgeries to fix what they refused to do.
