Reputation precedes itself. Would be so scared to be admitted here.
Didn’t believe it was so bad until experiencing it myself. Trying to work with staff and nurses. What a nightmare

I had a horrific experience in the ER in September 2020. I reported the incident to the hospital immediately. But they had no interest in hearing details. The hospital never returned my call to follow up on the incident. I was assaulted by …
I have never felt more welcome. I called the front desk of the emergency room and tried to book an appointment for my emergency. The lady greeted me, just like my own mother and before she hung up she said she loved me. The nurses catered …

I’ve been going to Dr Opilka’s clinic for several years now and I absolutely love the whole staff, the Nurse practicioners and Dr Opilka. I have very good insurance and haven’t had to pay hardly anything out of pocket, but ever until Sarah …
I entered the fourth floor nursing unit after experiencing intense pain that took me to the ER. I had my gallbladder removed the next day. I found everyone at Sarah Bush Lincoln to be helpful and kind.
My girlfriend waited for 9 hours in the ER waiting room while in physical pain with stomach cramps and bleeding profoundly and still had to wait. They took covid positive people before her, who weren’t in physical pain and probably didn’t …
Very slow waited 6 hours just to have a room I have very bad asthma can hardly breathe I really was disappointed
I had a femoral artery bypass with debrisment of my right foot .. I couldn’t be any happier with the staffing at the surgerical center .. Dr Green is super .. did exactly what we discussed .. now just waiting for this old body to heal

One year ago this month an ER Dr at SBL s. assaulted me during a pelvic exam. I quickly reported the instance in great detail fully expecting that the Dr would be prevented from working with other patients. Nothing happened. I received a …
I was admitted to ER with a severe headache. My blood pressure was taken in triage and then taken to a room. I was not told there was a supposed call button. Almost an 11/2 later someone came in room. “I am your provider. ” She was …
I had a gallbladder surgery on the 3rd on May, 2020 by Dr. Todd Bierman and the surgery was performed in Sarah Bush Lincoln Hospital. I was discharged in pain and I have to ask the nurse that discharged me to give me pain medicine before I …
BILLING DEPARTMENT IS A NIGHTMARE. You cannot go online and see you bills or your payments like you can on HSHS. They take your payments and apply them to other account than what you specify. It is a MESS. I would not go to this hospital …
They have always taken care of my health issues with courteous, professional and competent care. From housekeeping to doctors 5 star care.
Although nurses and doctors were great I would give them 4-5 stars although the headaches in billing averages to a 1. The aftermath of several bills for a knee surgery added up to 2500 which isn’t bad. But unless you read the 4th bill that …
We had a great experience here at the ER and then in a regular room. The staff was so attentive and kind and wait times to be brought back, and examined and await test results were very short. I’ve had many ER experiences at different …
I go out in for lab work. Registration takes my information and I tell her I have labs for two doctors. I go back for my draw and the tech says I have one test. I explain that I have multiple tests. I explained each test I needed done. He …
Terrible service, they have no idea what’s going on between departments terrible service. They messed up my daughter’s blood test who’s 3 days old and wanted to try to run it again very inexperienced lab techs with improper training. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOSPITAL IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE!!!!
Docs are good and the nurses and rude and neglectful. You also cant get ahold of anyone if you want to ask questions about the things they forgot to tell you. Just go to Carle
I was going to James Polek for my appointments, but thanks to the nurses and the way they talk to people on the phone I will be going elsewhere. Along with the fact I don’t enjoy being told how obese I am every time I have an appointment …
Had surgery today , nursing staff were awesome. Urologist I have is awesome. I highly recommend this hospital for their services.
My daughter needed a hip replacement. They offered a free class before the surgery to prepare for this surgery which was very helpful. The Dr. went above and beyond during the surgery to remove a rod from a previous accident and did …
They misdiagnosed my broken knee and I have suffered for 8 weeks with pain so severe that I haven’t slept for more than 2 hours a night for 8 weeks..No pain relief was given and I even got shingles from this trauma. SBLH you should be ashamed
absolutely “misunderstood” or just not cared for properly due to judgement. which is it? we may never know. you would think after having Licensed Medical Field Practice you’d treat patients correctly instead of making false reports all around.
I was very impressed with the care we received during our recent stay at SBL. I would like to recognize some of the nurses that helped us out if there is a way to do that. They were amazing to state it simply!
I’ve always had good experiences at this hospital, I’ve had several Drs ,at this hospital ,that always treated me accurately and great. I got a heart Dr ,here and gynocologist, and urologist.Ive had home care , through this hospital and several surgeries. I’ve always felt welcomed and respected.
What give a negative 100 if I could this has been the worst experience ever at a hospital. The first couple times during the day that we have been here it’s been great I moved here from Texas so we are new to the state and new to this …
I really can not describe the nice experience I had bringing in a new addition to my family at this location, and words can’t describe the professionalism, hospitality, and love they showed here and how by far this was one of the best …
