My daughter had a level 4 cervical fusion at this location and the doctor and surgical team were phenomenal!!! But the after care in the hospital was so SUB STANDARD!!! They discharged my daughter unable to swallow oral medications after giving her IV pain medication. They were warned before medicating that she could not assimilate basic pain oral medications and needed alternative pain care. She choked on the medication provided for home care and 911 had to be called. We refused transport to St Joseph and THANK GOD ended up at Swedish Medical Center where she was admitted. After 3 days was sent home with alternative pain medication and capable of starting her life over with limitations. I don t think we will EVER use St Joseph Hospital for any reason again.
