This is the absolute worst hospital you could go to.I fell in Target it took the EMA over 30 minute to get to me.The EMA got me there but i still had to go to triage to sit and wait.I had to tell the nurse,who obviously seen me struggling to walk that I needed a wheelchair.They take me back to a secondary waiting room.I wait for almost 2 hours for me to get a room.The doctor comes in and says I think you will be ok without doing a x-ray.Finally 30 minutes pass...i go to the x-Ray room...now I am sitting in a closed off room ... read more
I cannot speak for the entire hospital, but I can speak for what my family has experienced with our stay on the 5th floor. My father was admitting to this floor with the infection mrsa as well as c.diff. He has an open wound that bleeds and drains a lot and in the 4 day time span that he's been there his linens have only been changed once and not by staff but my mother. His requests for pain medicine are unanswered. His requests for water is also unanswered. My mother asked for water for him and was told to "get it yourself"... read more
I was sorry to read about the other peoples experience with the hospital. I, myself have been admitted a few times and was always treated nice. Never had any problems with nurses or anyone else. I will not go anywhere else. As far as the E.R. goes, never had any problems except once you r put in a room sometimes the waiting seems like forever. As far as billing goes, they will work you ( I know this from a friend } I guess it depends on the problems at the time and the person. There drs. are super and I would trust my life w... read more
I do not know what "star rating" to give here. This is regarding a ER visit for my daughter after a car accident in April. The wait was not overly long so I am okay with that. The physician was very pleasant, thorough and took good care of my daughter. My problem is with the billing system. I was frazzled and not thinking about anything but getting my daughter taken care of and trying to do the right thing. I gave our medical insurance information and insisted on paying what I knew was ER copay. I wasn't thinking about medic... read more
Will never go there again. They tried to care for my son who got burned and he ended up getting infection at the site, was running a high fever the next day. So we took him to another hospital were he had to endure pain and surgery. The doctor told us reason he got infection was because of how they wrapped the wound. Never go there they do not know what they are doing!!
My grandmother has been in and out of St. Vincents East Hospital for the past couple of weeks. She has been having heart problems, and has visited their ER a few times. She is due for surgery in the morning, and we (the family) were visiting for a few hours. There was about 7 of us in the room. No one in that entire floor had anything to say about the amount of people. And of course, we got the RUDEST nurse that I think the whole state of Alabama could find. She told us that she was tired of pushing and stumbling through us,... read more
I went to St. Vincent's in Birmingham, AL. The main reason I was there was because of severe headaches but was also there to get fluids due to dehydration.Long story short, they completely ignored my complaints about having a severe headaches and I actually stayed in the hospital for 3 days so they had plenty of time to investigate but didn't. Then I go home thinking everything is okay and the headaches would just eventually go away. 3 days later I stroke-out and my left leg becomes paralyzed. I then go back to the hospital ... read more
The nurse are great and so is all the staff. My only complaint would be the television staions are bad. NO ESPN!! While you are sick and in hosp all you have to do while get better is watch TV. This place has no ESPN so you miss all the good games. Makes no sense as you know it comes with the sat package.
