About Birmingham

About Birmingham
Birmingham is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Alabama and the county seat of Jefferson County.
The city's population was 212,237 in the 2010 United States Census
The Birmingham-Hoover Metropolitan Statistical Area had a population of about 1,128,047 according to the 2010 Census, which is approximately one quarter of Alabama's population.

Birmingham was founded in 1871, during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period, through the merger of three pre-existing farm towns, notably, former Elyton. It grew from there, annexing many more of its smaller neighbors, into an industrial and railroad transportation center with a focus on mining, the iron and steel industry, and railroading. Birmingham was named for Birmingham, England, one of the UK's major industrial cities.
Most of the original settlers who founded Birmingham were of English ancestry.

I understand that with the pandemic and the safety for the public and staff members, I had to sit outside, not an issue. During the day all I had to do was ask how my husband was and I was dealt with respectfully. However, after waiting for 2 1/2 hours for my husband to Gey into a room, he calls me and tells me they transported him to Highlands, ummm what?

The 5 star is for the Kirkland clinic not the Whiticker Clinic. The ladies taking temperature checks at the front door of the Whiticker Clinic told me to leave my 11 yr old son In the parking deck by the Kirkland Clinic. Who the heck does that. The awesome lady at the Kirkland Clinic told me that was uncalled for, and watched my son for 10 minutes so I get my labs done 20 ft away from him,instead 100 plus yards away from my son at the Whiticker Clinic.

My doctor sent me there for blood clots in my chest I sat in waiting room for 5 hours before I was seen while the receptionist played on her phone people in ER room was great but all they did was give me eliquis for blood thinner which I had at home and was sent home a little after that

My son had surgery here. Very good team. Very clean. Fast response. The only issue I had was as the parent getting dinner since we had to stay over night. I couldnt go down to get anything because I had to stay in the room with him. (3 year old) and they only deliver to patients. Even pizza could only be delivered to the front desk. Found a way around it. But take snacks or an extra person. Other than that everything was great.

Children's Hospital was very fast, efficient, the staff was polite and courteous, and my son made it through stitches in his mouth like a walk in a park thanks to the dentistry staff! Also repaired his tooth. We spent less than 2 hours there from emergency check in to being released.

Absolute fabulous & modern high-tech high-funded urban research university. Amazing classes. Amazing lecturers. Amazing people. Amazing city. The honors programs options are phenomenal. The out of state merit scholarships made funding for university much easier on me. The UAB school of nursing is very high funded and has a great BSN track! The UAB medical centers and surrounding hospitals with ICUs can provide me a job in the city right when i get my degree. I love UAB go blazers!

I really appreciate the precautions that are being applied to insure as best as possible the safety of their patients. I've only revived the best care and concern by the staff of the different medical providers that I've received treatment.

This school is amazing and I am glad to be an alumnus. The instructors were (pretty much) all amazing. For the community the school offers many benefits. Go see a play or an athletic event. Appreciate the fact we have a world clas medical center in our hometown! The largest employer in the state, we are fortunate to have UAB in our city.

One of the worst medical experiences I have ever had. Front desk person was rude and uncaring. Technician was nice but not helpful. I travel 10 hours to go to UAB. 9 years ago I was overly impressed and felt that I received exceptional care. In 2018 I cannot recommend the Kirkland Clinic to anyone. This is not a patient centered facility any longer.
