Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center Review

They do an amazing job when it comes to treating babies. Been here for a few hours and they are making sure she has the proper care she needs.

i was just there yesterday, I never previously had any issues with the hospital. since the strike is happening i was very frustrated with how i was treated and things were handled. i was sent to labor and delivery to have test ran for possible preterm labor. for starters i was forced to share a room with another family that had 5 children, and i had to listen to this patients entire medical history which i feel was a privacy violation. Also the room had to big automatic doors that would open up into a hallway, so there was not only another family in the room with mine but people passing by with the two doors open while im on the hospital bed half naked. on top of that the staff didnt know what they were doing i was handed the same forms to sign twice by the same woman! I was examined by two STUDENTS who seemed clueless and couldnt give me any real answer to why i was having severe pains..meanwhile all you can hear is the honking of cars because of the strike going on. safe to say i am now looking for a new doctor to deliver our baby at a different hospital. the staff should seriously be ashamed of how they are treating their patients due to their main concern, the strike.

This place is horrible, mine father went in with kidney stones, they honestly were quick to get him to a room, though the wait was forever over two hours to finish up!!! Over an hour to check for blood in urine, then a prick doctor wouldn't give mine father his pain meds..... After they knee his kidney stone issue and had records of it....so what a joke that was!!!! And some of the nurses not all were very rude!!!

The occupational health clinic sucks had an appt for a random drug screen I registered got to talking to another guy and he said he was there for almost 2 hrs for a random well after I finally got back there after an hour and a half waiting the nurse was pleasant and found out I was there more than an hour and she said the guy before me and I was the only ones there for 2 hrs for a drug screen and she literally received our registration paperwork as she called us in and she said the front desk never sent it back like they was suppose to

Nurses are very good but communication with patients stinks, especially the first time you are here and from out of state. They throw away parts of a brace ane nurse puts in for replacement but no luck. I ask about a patient portal but no good answer.

Terrible dr. Do not take your children here. He is a gaslighter and stumbles all over his words. He had no idea how to help my child.

went for a MRI
first parking attendant was great, friendly, helpful
MRI staff were great, friendly and as fast as the machine would allow
the second attendant was called by the MRI dept but my car wasn't there, so she took my ticket, went in booth to stay warm and I am in the cold waiting. the gentleman that parked my car came over a few minutes later with someone else's vehicle. the lady pokes her head out, gives him the keys to my vehicle and goes back in. gee thanks for telling me you couldn't go get my car because you get paid more to just greet people, I could of stood in the bldg instead of the cold.
they hired the wrong person to greet

Don't come here if you need routine blood work. You will end up waiting over an hour not to mention the employees are extremely rude.

"The doctor will be in to see you in a few minutes". An hour later I put my clothes on, left the hospital and had my friend take me somewhere else. Lies and lack of interest in the needs of a patient don't fix people's medical problems. AVOID THIS HOSPITAL.

I was transported to St Vincent from Lima for stroke care. Staff was very nice and gave me conciensive care. Doctors were informative and caring. Food was on the most part good. I was sent home with calls afterward concerning my health.

St. Vincent Medical Center has such amazing caring staff. They saved my life and my daughters life. The NICU staff is incredible and so caring.

I have given birth to 3 kids at St V's some of the nurses were rude but most were caring and friendly! As far as going to the ER you have to remember they are a #1 trama center and cardiac hospital. Just because the waiting room is empty dosent mean the back is empty! You could end up waiting a few hours in the ER waiting room depending on the severity of your injury or illness.

Recently spent 3 days on the surgical floor at St. V's. The staff there are phenomenal! Jessica from the 3rd floor, Sue, Becki, Michelle from the 4th floor, and Leah in post-op are the most professional, friendly, caring and personable Nurses I have ever been around! They cared for my fiance and myself as if we were all family.

Recently had my son here and I was very well taken care of! I wish I had all my children here! I've never been so taken care of after a csection, they've been on top of my pain and they've been in to check on me but still giving my son, husband and I our privacy.
Normally a hospital stay for me involves a grouchy nurse and during this visit I didn't have one! It's truly been a great experience! Thankful for the staff and doctors that took care of my son and I! You guys are outstanding thank you for everything!

I had a wonderful experience in St V's hospital they literally saved my life and my dad followed with the same experience I wouldn't hesitate to return for trauma care

The doctors and nurses are wonderful so far. My daughter recently gave birth and the baby is in the NICU. However I have a few complaints.... After going from doctor to doctor within the building due to severe medical issues and not eating or drinking anything because there was no free time..started with a 10am appt finally got admitted around 6 pm. It took forever for dietary to bring my ill daughter some food. Had to ask the nurse 3 or 4 times to ask where it was. After 3 hours someone finally brought something up. She said it was cold and soggy and she could only tolerate a couple of bites..found the food in general in the cafeteria pretty awful too. Most of the time they werent serving anything i could actually eat. I totally hate fast food but kept having to drive over to McDonald's to get something hot and fresh.( Hot and fresh for mcds)
They really need to offer better choices for in between meal choices for stressed out visitors who need to make healthy choices. Canned gravy. Instant mashed potatoes. Hamburgers? Really? We dont eat that stuff at home. Unhealthy. Salad bar is ok but it was closed nearly everytime i went down there.and the little pre-packed salads were expensive and only had one tiny packet of dressing. Not appealing.
One more observation...i havent stepped foot in this hospital for years and will avoid it in the future. Its looking old and shabby. From the lobby to the public bathrooms.. My daughter was in 3 different rooms. Her tray table in every room was sticky with obvious filth and spilage on it in every room. The bathrooms..just nasty. Looked like they might have swirled a mop in the middle of the floor but never bothered to sweep the floors and wipe and clean the corners and behind the toilet and under the sink. Ugh...the shower was dirty...loose dirt and grime...easily removable with a rag...and moldy. Germ city. Never seen a hospital so dirty in my life...i will avoid going back. Its a shame because the staff is very professional.

My husband is a frequent patient at St Vincent. He is a patient in the cardiovascular institute today. Since the cafeteria has been taken over by AVI...the food has gotten kinda bad. Especially on the weekend. I don't want to leave the hospital to get something to eat but beef and gravy over a dried out looking vegetable rice??? The peas and carrots look questionable???
Now his care. The immediate staff has been great but he had a lab person come in early morning ON SUNDAY and just turned on the bright lights without warning and grabbed his arm and JAMMED the needle in his arm and started just moving it around. Than pulled out and JAMMED it into his hand like she hates her job and hates patients.
No cross on the wall of a catholic hospital???

The birth of our child went through planned c-section went very smooth through the hole process. Sue, Nicole,Chris and others treated my wife with respect and patience. The nurses taking our child to the nursery were also very easy to work with. Jeff the anesthesiologist was the star though most professional and best bed side manors, hope my children never need one but I would seek him out if they did. Only complaints are room size, couch I had to sleep on and no TV at cafe or coffee shop can I get some weather news or sports something to look at well I eat by my self for 3days!

This is where you want to go if possible if your having a heart attack. My husband had the best care here when he had a problem with his heart.

The worst hospital in the area,mi mom is here w abdominal pain,they found whats wrong,n they cant star yet w the treatment ,worst desk staff in the enttance plz,dont come here if u are very sick,they dont pay atention to anybody they dont care if the people is in pain

Worst hospital to go too. They are under staffed and was here for 10 hrs to in the end get a cast. Been 4 hours to get discharged because staff keeps getting pulled to trauma. Need more staff. Guess the strike didn t change anything. Sad!!!!
