University of chicago medicine Reviews

The emergency room is one of the worst, when the shifts change, (11:pm) nurse at the desk- does not care for people ( anyone), she stated ,when I asked for a sheet for my daughter ( because it was cold there) and mind you (many people had sheets) she stated that they can not give any out, because they( sheets) are a fire hazard also I asked when will my daughter will be seen, she states 25min., she lied- it took about 2hours latter. The emergency room for everyone there was at least 8hours, the best thing about the emergency room is the new trauma center, peace- it is good to know that one does not have to travel ( north or west) to a hospital w/ a trauma center, peace.

I first went to UCMED June 2021 and saw Dr. Kelly. I told him everything I was experiencing, and have been going through a far as my headaches and sleep deprivation. I had an MRI, blood work etc. Yet I never saw or heard from him again!
Next I saw Dr. Borreli, I explained everything that was going on and the amount of pain I was going through. Again lack of sleep, headaches continued as did phone calls to the doctor, nurses. Had a sleep study unbeknownst to me, the sleep study was not successful. Still can't sleep and also still have headaches I sent messages and numerous call to to UCMED about my concerns. The doctor NEVER called didn't prescribed me new medications, yet I got a call to refill previous medication that didn't work on me and I specifically told the nurse it was not working. One week later still no call from the doctor or the nurse. She said "I will call you after the sleep study" which call never came. I'm so disappointed in the mattee. I was NOT TREATED nor my concerns or pain Iam in, were not heard. I will never go back there or refer anyone to that hospital.

My daughter was taken to University of Chicago hospital after an accident on Lake Michigan. I cannot say enough about the doctors and nurses even though she didn t make it, they all went above and beyond for her. They even got us special permission to visit daily for an hour since she was on the COVID unit. I will never forget their kindness through the worst part of our life.

I would never go here if I can help it. My sister had stage 4 cancer and they were using her as a lab rat since she was young and they wanted to see if things worked on her. I feel they were just giving her drugs to keep her quiet and they then never took her pain away. They also were pushing her out so fast to go to a rehab center where she passed a month later. Also they didn't have enough help.

Every experience and medical situation is different so it is hard to truly rate UofC as a whole. I will say that in my experience with both Comers children and Mitchell have been great myself and my family.

As a former nurse at the University of Chicago I would like to add this is a horrible place to work. I had 5 call offs due to either myself or my children being sick and running fevers as we passed around a horrible upper respiratory infection. I stayed home to ensure it wasn t covid and wanted to ensure the safety of the patients we served. Not only was I discriminated against for my call offs and treated poorly, I was eventually fired for reaching out to HR to ensure my manager was following policy by writing me up for calling off sick during a pandemic as we were instructed via several emails. This made me question the hospital as a whole and if they were truly concerned for the safety of their patients. This incident was very upsetting because as my daughter was a former patient this is where her cancer was treated and I thought very highly of this hospital and it s employees. So much so, I even let it slide when they read us the wrong CT results and let us go for 2 weeks thinking she was cancer free, when in fact she was not! I valued the nurses and doctors so much that I overlooked the huge mistake. Had I know then what I know now I would have held them accountable for their mistake as I was treated so poorly as an employee. I have lost all faith in this hospital and will no longer take my daughter here for her treatments.

One of the worse placed iam been to the placed where you draw your blood it a mess no distance it fallow special with this virus the it going now it very bad

My wife was being treated for cancer, stage 4 Mesothelioma. When Covid came they stopped treatment for 5 months. She told the Doctor the her tumors where getting bigger. 5 months no treatment! Then told her to do hospice can't do anything more for her. Our experience was terrible. She is at Northwestern now and is doing much better. I would never recommend University of Chicago

My little girl was taken to University of Chicago clinic after a mishap on Lake Michigan. I can't say enough regarding the specialists and attendants despite the fact that she didn't make it, they all exceeded everyone's expectations for her. They even got us uncommon authorization to visit day by day for an hour since she was on the COVID unit. I will always remember their graciousness through the most noticeably terrible piece of our life.

The wait is way too long. Go to a hospital that doesn t have a trauma center. It may be much faster for you to be seen else where! Patients get pushed back every time another emergency, more important than yours walk through the door or come in by ambulance. Something has to change. The wait is unreal but the staff is doing their best. Mercy ER is closed, Provident is closed and we have no quick clinics in the area so everything comes through their door because people wants to go somewhere good doctors are! Go somewhere else for something minor! The outcome may be quicker!
