Worst hospital. They have this big sign on the building "top 100 in the nation" which makes you think you can trust them but please don't fall for that load of bull false advertisement. They have gotten cocky with that banner and have been slacking off badly ever since. My dad is diabetic and got an infection in his toe so it was in need of being amputated due to the severity. Dr.Corcoran had the procedure done in one of the hospitals clinics and gave him no medication during and after the procedure. Imagine an amputation like that, not even any pain killers were even prescribed to him. Most importantly no antibiotic to help heal and prevent any other infection was given. Very irresponsible. They have so much patients coming in like a cattle of cows that the doctors there are desensitized and no longer see us as humans but more like numbers. And then when it came to me asking him whether his actions led to the outcome of my dad getting an infection again was due to his medical malpractice, he blamed it on my dad having diabetes and did not apologize or sympathize with us whats so ever. We gave up on them and decided to go to Memorial where the doctors are trying to fix what he messed up because of his lack of concern for his patient. I would recommend Memorial Hospital due to the experience there or maybe OSF but anything is better than this place.
