  1. I would give a zero if possible, made me wait for 4 hours with a completely shredded knee and did not tell me they actually did not have room for me until I limped to the desk to ask. Extreme lack of compassion, if not outright laughing, …

  2. If your pregnant and in any pain I would recommend going to sibley hospital I’m in the first trimester and I was having real bad abdominal pain vomiting and headaches and could keep shyt down they literally left me in the waiting room for hours worst hospital ever

  3. The staff had excellent bedside manner and were comforting and kept me well informed. I was very nervous as I had a prior surgery after which I woke up in horrible pain. I told the anesthesiologist and he reassured me before the procedure and stayed with me until I was in recovery to make sure that did not happen. Highly recommended.

  4. I have come to this ER many many times I’m and this particular time I have to wait 12 plus hours And the ER waiting room that took my vital twice As cold as it was in there they did not hand out blankets they did not come out to tell us …

  9. This hospital use to be one of the best in the city. My children were born in this hospital. I must say it is the worst place to go if your in pain. The doctors and nurses walk around without a since of urgency. Homeless people in and out …

  10. This has been one of the worse experiences of my life. I absolutely don’t recommend this hospital. They have horrible service towards many patients and I have been in the ER waiting about 10 hours. It’s so bad that I’m actually writing a review.

  11. My visit to GW HOSPITAL WAS GREAT, THEY MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE, ATTENDED TO ME AND MADE ME A PRIORITY, TALKED ME THROUGH MY WHOLE PROCEDURE, MAD SURE I WAS OKAY DURING THE PROCEDURE, HELD MY HAND, WHILE PROCEDURE WAS GOING ON, ABOVE ALL I LOVE THE PROFESSIONALISM THEY HAVE ABOUT THIER JOB, GW IS THE GO TO HOSPITAL🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 …

  13. I arrived in extreme pain. Every staff member at George Washington Hospital was outstanding. This includes intake staff, nurses, technicians, doctors, therapists. They paid attention to my needs and they listened. GW is still a hospital where patients come first.

  14. Horrible experience, after sitting in the waiting room for 4 + hours, I was never seen and was told the wait was up 14 hours!!!! Are you serious? Absolutely and was told it has been up to 22 hours. Don’t get sick in DC!

  15. Thank you so much to everyone! Recently was admitted through the ER for gallbladder surgery. Shout out to my ER nurse Alex who helped calm me down and a overall rockstar! The surgeons/ anesthesiologist walked me through the surgery step by …

  16. I was aware that this would be an uncomfortable procedure, but I feel more could have been done to help me to be more comfortable. If I had known I would be as uncomfortable as I was, I would have asked for a sedative.

  17. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had with the ER I sit in a wheel chair for 3 hours got up to use the rest room security take the chair .. now it’s no where to sit so I ask the nurse if I could sit in the lobby part .. she said ok …

  18. It was very good I think patient need to be more understanding of the staff periodit.. some nurse need to communicate with everyone and let us know what’s going on but besides that that’s all

  19. I would give a 0 if i could. This hospital is disgusting ! I waited in the ER 6 HOURS as I bled in my pants probably miscarrying my child. Went to a different floor to see if anyone could help and they basically let me know that because i’m only 8 weeks along that my baby didn’t matter. I would never go here again for anything.

  20. Good morning George Washington University outpatient rehab deserve more than five stars. I have been to three outpatient rehab and I will give George Washington University outpatient rehab 100 hundred Stars keep up the good work

  21. The hospital was a complete cluster didn’t have the same nurse each day or night so they didn’t know what was going on it took over a week for physical therapy to change my bed linen because the nursing staff didn’t do it they acted like …

  25. My son was admitted for back surgery. The nurses were trouble on the Othopedic floor. They gave him pain medicine that he told them he didn’t want to take. He had terrible reaction after they gave it to him. He is still having some reactions from the medicine he was given. After discharge the IV was left in his arm.

  26. Was in ER from noon until releases at 10pm. The waiting room had between 25-35 all that time, and many/most of us were all there that long. The staff works extremely hard and all we’re very helpful. But after all my testing was …

  27. Surgery for my daughter was from check-in , quick and organized. Care was compassionate and kind. And they literally kept family in the know with each and every step via text.

  28. First of all, I came to the emergency room with a chest pain at 10 and I mentioned this more than twice to a doctors involved there’s no way that I’m still sitting here almost an hour later and there’s people that come in here literally 30 …

  29. I came in scared to death, and the staff, ALL the staff, and Dr. Sadiq made me feel at ease, and the procedure went smoothly. They made sure I had the meds I needed for aftercare. Even though I hate driving thru DC, I’d go back for another procedure.

  30. I honestly like the nurses and doctors and care at this hospital, however the wait time in the emergency room where you have to sit and wait when you arrive is excruciatingly unbearably utterly horribly ridiculous. Please find a solution …

  31. My experience of having a procedure at the George Washington University Hospital surgical center was mixed. The staff and the doctor were just fine and I think Dr. Paul is terrific. My problem was with the communication regarding this …

  32. The ED @ GWUH is always packed with different types of patients waiting to be seen. Generally, the first steps of registration are performed pretty quickly. Then, you need to be very patient until they called you to the back (average of 3 to 4 hours in the waiting area).

  33. My mom went into the George Washington University Hospital have her brain vessel aneurysm treated by doctor Dimitry Sigounas. My experience with the hospital is that EVERYONE, from the Doctors, anestheisiologist, to the nurses, are very …

  34. Would rate 0 if I could. Was kept in the waiting room for 10 hours and had to get up and contact nurses to even be seen. Below is a timeline of my visit. Absolutely horrible. …

  35. Outstanding service received at GWU hospital which I was in for a in/out procedure that requires anesthesia. From prep to recovery room just dedicated health employees buzzing around in harmony. Kudos to Jorge, the dedicated recovery nurse…! I am glad I entrusted GW hospital/GWMFU with my health needs.

  36. If I could give a negative number/star would. I was in the waiting room for 16 hours. I came in because I was having post op issue from my bbl lipo360 and because I couldn’t breathe, every breathe i took my heart started racing fast like i …

  37. My family was visiting from out of town, ten hours away. We were staying one hour away from hospital. We brought my mother to the emergency room because she fell at the Jefferson Memorial. My mother is 80 years old. She was triaged and …

  38. I had in and out surgery here last week and I was really nervous but once I checked in and was called to the back to get prepped for it. My nurse came in then the doctors who were doing the surgery came in and introduced themselves and then …

  39. Can’t get into details publicly about my visit, but I definitely contacted the joint commission. At best it was horrific. I do not recommend. If I there were an option to give no stars, that would have been my choice. Good luck to you if you’re going there.

  40. Lori Miller is outstanding, and currentLy the therapist that is helping me is Steven M is knowledgeable too. The place is extremely clean
    And inviting. The staff puts you at ease, the hour passes so fast it is …

  41. My Overall Experience Was Good. The Security That’s In The Waiting Area Is Very Unprofessional It Was 2 Security Officers Talking About The Rhinos Pills For Men Laughing And Joking About That And Also Loud Talking About IG. One Officer Name …

  42. My wife recently had her gallbladder removed. What we thought was a simple procedure turned out to have major complications. Her first visit went well but when she returned to the ER with complications of throwing up, distended abdomen, …

  43. This hospital has had patients sitting in the Emergency Room for over 19 hours. This place needs to be shut down. The Nursing staff in the Emergency Room is threatening to put patients out if they post on Social Media, so people are asking …

  44. An amazingly easy Visit to the ER given the stress I was experiencing and the “packed house” I discovered on my arrival. Each and every staff member..from the entry guard to the woman who provided my exit papers were efficient polite and …

  45. My mother is an oncology patient here. ER did absolutely nothing to accommodate her chills and shakes and we waited 12 hours in that freezing cold waiting room. No compassion whatsoever! The waiting room is a circus full of vagrants yelling …

  46. It’s taken me a while to write this review because I was so shaken and upset by my experience with the GW Hospital. It was especially upsetting because I am a student of the university. …

  47. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the excellent care I received from some of the doctors and nurses because they went above and beyond to care for me post surgery. Unfortunately, there are always a few that either are just there to …

  48. While convenient, it was not as comfortable as it have been. I felt somewhat isolated since my relatively minor procedure did not go well. It almost seemed as if the staff (who were very nice but somewhat detached) were punishing me for it. …

  49. My entire stay at G W Hospital was a fantastic venture. From May 05-09, 2022. Every employee that I came in contact with, treated me with upmost of respect, concerns and care. Dr. Umapathi and her surgery team was the best. I was on 5 …

  50. I fully recommend the George Washington University Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Center – 6th Floor Team based on my experience as a patient. My recovery was quick – the therapist took …

  51. Staff is very unwelcoming and unprofessional. No greeting, and act as if you’re disturbing their time. A nurse told my mother in law, as her father, on life support, that “it’s not like he can hear you” when she said she needed to talk to …

  52. The admitting staff and pre-op nursing team were great, as was the OR team and the recovery nurses. However, I experience a slight allergic reaction on the way home after recovery and called the phone number indicated on my discharge …

  53. Not a great visit to the ER. I was there 9.5 hours. I had 4 vials of blood taken – two were sent to the lab. 2 ended up being discarded. I was prepped for an IV but never given one. Instead, I had an insert in my arm clamped off for 7 hours …

  54. In a land of declining healthcare service, Dr. Michael Rosner and GW University Hospital did not disappoint. I underwent an anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) C3-C7, my first major surgery. Concern for my care went beyond the …

  55. The people I met that night in ER could not have been more helpful or kind…from Logan and G in ambulance to Maddie and another nurse whose name ive spaced (the funny one!), all were wonderful. The facility was quiet, calm and clearly well …

  56. My 88 year old mother waited 3 days for surgery with a broken hip and spent the first 36 hours in the emergency room! Probably an excellent facility for trauma but it can be extremely busy for the average patient …

  57. The front desk had no record of my appointment even though I had an appointment confirmation. They made me wait over 2 hours as an “add on” patient. Took the entire afternoon for a 20 minute appointment.

  58. Not sure why this hospital has bad reviews, they treated me so well!!! I’m 27 and I never had surgery I was so scared to find out after ED visit this Tuesday morning. Just want to say everyone helped me throughout the process and made me …

  63. Nursing staff were very caring and attentive, I would rate them five stars. However, they were definitely understaffed. My procedure required almost hourly post-op supervision, but that was a challenge give the nurses’ workload. Post-op I …

  64. I just recently gave birth at GWU and I had an amazing experience. From the check in process to discharge and everything in between, I felt well taken care of. The Midwives are incredible! They are all so kind and knowledgeable and really …

  65. From the time of my consultation to the time I had my surgery the nurses and doctors were excellent! They made sure at all times I had everything I needed. Throughout my consultation, the doctor was very informative of my issues and well …

  66. After arriving at the ER at 1.30 I was pretty quickly seen by a nurse and had blood work done PLUS had an IV needle inserted ( without explanation).
    By 8pm THE SAME DAY I still had not seen a doctor and nobody could tell me when …

  67. I went in with an issue with my eye because it would not open. I obviously was not able to see much at all. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they guided me so I would not run into anyone or anything. I was seen by a medical student, …

  70. Interventional Radiology Doctors and staff are really great! They corrected mom’s peg tube issues with care and compassion. Nursing Staff is really nice, surgical team introduced themselves prior to surgery and Dr Thakker is the best!

  71. My visits for Physical Therapy at GW have been so HELPFUL. ❤️Having been to MEDSTAR in past, I NOW 100% prefer the PERSONALIZED no rush care with GW OUTPATIENT/REHAB. THERAPISTS 😎,in spite of the parking downtown. …

  72. I was in ER for 10 hours before getting any assistance despite letting them know as soon as I walked in I had acute abdominal pain. Kept requesting for at minimum a pain killers while waiting but received firm no-s each time. Ended up being admitted for surgery to remove my gallbladder. Glad am here to tell the story.

  73. I waited over a hour before being called in to a different waiting area and then waited there about fifteen minutes before finally getting the mammogram. Once started it was over quickly.

  74. This medical office on 1145 19th Street, NW was a great experience for me ‼️ Nurse/ technician Ms Jeannie ❤️ gave me good cancer advices and body scan. I hope to talk to her soon again ‼️🥰 …

  75. My surgery was delayed for over two hours. The hospital should have left my surgery in the order as scheduled instead of bumping up the surgery scheduled after mine because this surgery took three hours. My surgery was a brief one.

  76. I regularly use GWMFA as my provider. I am always pleased with the quality of service that I receive. The technician was professional and very pleasant. I would recommend this location without hesitation.

  77. Michael Johnson, PA was way above average in his ability to clearly explain, using xray images, the condition I have and what is appropriate as treatment going forward. Can’t ask for better than that. Kindly express my personal thanks to him. — Mike Selnick

  78. The rehabilitation center was wonderful they were courteous kind I respect their guidance that they gave me in reference to an amputation of my left leg below the knee and everything is coming along I’ll be taking more outpatient physical therapy and I look forward to that

  79. I had excellent care all the nurses were outstanding the Dr was great and had explained everything we appreciated everything that was done God bless everyone that worked with me and on my case including the young lady in admissions

  80. It was bedlam. The emergency room was understaffed and chaotic. People were yelling, moaning, and staggering around drunk or high, a woman even tried to steal my bag. I waited for 6 hours and finally left without seeing a doc. I couldn’t take it anymore.

  81. I Love me some GW, the professionalism, the emails you get as well as the account you can go in to email doctor, and Dr. Marc was definitely down to earth, the best and very professional along with Ms. Nicole and the staff. …

  82. Rose and Kendra, the technicians were friendly, knowledgeable and very kind. The front desk intake ladies were extraordinary. They treated me like I was the only person they saw, rather than one of many dozens

  83. I was very pleased with my care at the facility. My tech Carly was amazing; Friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient explaining the use of equipment concerning my specific condition.

  84. I had a c section & the doctors were late several times giving me my medication. Did change my bed sheets, left me in blood soiled leg bands. It was a horrible experience. Never again at GW! For any thing!

  85. The worst ER ever I sat in the waiting room for over 8 hours and didn’t get seen. So I left and went to Holy Cross because I was in some much pain they seen me within 2 hours. The staff that was checking people in was really rude and not helpful at all. This always happens at this hospital. If I could give no stars I would!!

  86. I would rate a 5 for the actual medical services provided, but downgraded to a 4 because I don’t understand why I am required to fill out a paper form that 1) asks much of the same information that GWUH already has about me (I am a …

  87. Worst ER experience ever !!!! Got to the emergency room at about 3:30pm . Was not called to the back until 10:00pm. The worst part was people that came after me were being called before me. Me and my 2year old didn’t leave until 2:30am. Better off going anywhere else .

  88. Everything was perfect from the beginning: identifying the right therapist, arranging for a convenient appointment, expert and caring therapist, and follow-up care. Five stars well deserved.

  89. The staff is terrible. There is miscommunication between doctors, nurses and etc. I was discharged at 9AM on 9/27 yet my nurse kept telling me I needed to wait. I didn’t leave the hospital until 2PM the next day (9/28). I had to wait 12 hrs …

  90. Staff is great. Validated parking or reduced cost parking should be available for patients that cannot or are unable to ride public transportation, and have to drive or have someone drive them to their appointments.

  91. Thank you to all of the nurses, care techs, doctors, residents, and medical students who took care of me during my 4 day stay here. I could feel all of your kindness, compassion, and dedication when you were with me at the bedside. I will …

  92. I went in at 9 am and I am currently 33 weeks pregnant, they did all the labs and x-ray they need and I still was waiting for 10+ hours. I did not eat for those 10 hours and no one told me anything. I pray I am ok but for a pregnant person with respiratory issues to wait 10 hours, is ridiculous.

  93. I had cataract surgert on one eye at 2120 L Street. The entire staff (including check-in, prep, and discharge) was delightful and the entire experience could not have been better. Dr. Bitar and her assistants did a wonderful job.

  94. From the staff, to the nurses and doctors everyone treated me with such kindness. They really practice holistic medicine, taking care of the body and the emotional well being of the patient.

  95. George Washington University Hospital is one the best hospital in the world. I previously suffered from a deadly brain aneurysm, 3rd stage colon cancer, intestinal obstruction. It was the doctors at GWU Hospital that saved my life. I am forever grateful and there is no other hospital for me.

  96. Got a major surgery here few days ago and stayed for 3 days inpatient. Nurses were overall great and empathetic and amazing. ONLY problems do arise with the amount of time from in room call to actual response, at worst point up to 45 mins …

  97. I don’t even know how this place has anything over 1 star.
    I arrived via ambulance after a car accident. since I’m not dying they told me to wait in the waiting room. It’s been 4 hours a riot is starting to form. People …

  100. The doctor unfortunately didn’t make it to close my open wound in my left index finger. It has kept bleeding and my general condition is going down together with persistent pain …

  101. All those who attended to me and my family were just wonderful.Those downstairs who signed us in were kind gentle and warmly welcoming.
    – On the first floor, I was attended to warmly by a kind gentleman who gave me …

  102. My 89’year old mother broke her hip badly and was in extreme. EMS urged fentynol. 24 hours later, would only offer 1 tylonol. My dog, at home awaiting home for ACL surgery, was being given more effective pain relief. ALSO being “seen”’ …

  103. I have nothing but nice things to say about my care at GWH. But especially by the two nurses who helped take care of me in post op/pacu care. I believe their names were Gianna Cooper and Seinya Musa. You both put me first and made me feel …

  104. The staff were extremely professional and helpful with answering all my questions regarding the procedure . I would highly recommend patients to attend George Washington University Hospital for all their medical needs. I feel amazing, …

  105. As a second-time in-patient at George Washington University Hospital I was fully satisfied with the level and the character of my care from physicians, nurses, and other staff at GWUH. The hospital succeeds in doing a difficult thing, which …

  106. Best experience with a breast center! Everyone went above and beyond to make me comfortable and reduce my anxieties. The receptionist, billing agent, office supervisor Kate, nurse Fatima, nurse navigator Sugi and Dr. Brem are providing best in class care!

  107. I woke up from surgery with no one around. I asked for a summary of what happened and I was told that it’s explained before the surgery. I was then told I can go and had to walk out. I could hardly stand. My ride had to wait outside because they use the lobby to take patient information and had to keep it private.

  108. If you value your license, self respect, and mental health do not go to George Washington university Hosptial. It’s the most unsafe hosptial i ever went to. I will never go back. Unsafe working conditions is an understatement. Interviewed …

  109. This has been a wonderful experience at GW Hospital. Everyone was so attentive and looked out for the needs of who they are working with. The team of doctors keep you very much of every that is going on or taking place.

    She was moved to recovery at 9am.
    She has to stay overnight but as of 5pm there is no room for her. …

  116. Went to GW’s Emergency Department suffering acute back pain. Arrived at 3:30am but wasn’t given anything for the pain (and then only tylenol) until 8:00am, and finally saw a doctor at ~9:00am. While absolutely everyone I spoke to was …

  117. Friendly people, who are also great at teaching, take one through the necessary exercises, and then send the routines by print and email. A sign in the office asks one to notify them if the session will start — get this — five minutes late. There is serious customer focus here.

  118. They focus more on the ambulances coming in then they do waiting room people. It’s like you have to just call 911 in the waiting room to get someone’s attention unless you’re in really bad pain. …

  119. My experience was great! Everyone I encountered from admitting to the PACU were professsional and took extreme care to assure that I was comfortable and informed throughtout the entire process. …

  120. The check-in process was laborious, redundant and confusing. No follow-up calls from doctors to check in progress/status. Prescription was submitted incorrectly and doctors didn’t return call to pharmacist and I was unable to reach anyone …

  121. I visited with my husband on May 8, 2022. He went to Radiology for some test. While sitting in the waiting area near the big windows waiting for his name to be called. I need to bring to your attention that the area needs to be cleaned immediately. Thanks.

  122. I was at GW University Hospital Physical Therapy on Thursday, 12/8/22. My therapist is Steven Malachowski. First, the Front Desk staff are always friendly. Then my wait time to see Steven is never long. Steven works with me on my challenges …

  123. Despite being overwhelmed and extremely busy the staff was pleasant and helpful. The only major flaw is a lack of follow-up with the patients to update them. The patients are left waiting and a lot of time is wasted. Not how I wanted to spend my D C vacation.

  124. GW: Where you will literally die before you’re seen by a physician. We visited the ER for internal bleeding and were quoted a wait time of 20-30hrs. The staff admitted they advise their own families to never use GW’s Emergency Center. I’ll …

  125. I n had a great medical team. Dr. Ranson, Dr. Zimmer, Dr. Daniel’s, and Dr. Bynes were great. I can’t remember everybody’s name but all the Doctors that came to see and check on me were very caring, concerning. My techs Ms. Arletta, …

  126. I recently had Imaging done at GWU Imaging. All the staff were helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. It took a total of about an hour to check in, change, do the imaging (which required 25 min), and check out. I was extremely pleased with the care I received.

  127. I stayed in the emergency room for over seven hours and left
    when I realized I’d probably have to wait many more hours. Lady
    at the desk told people that it was a 9 hour or more wait. I do understand …

  128. My check in was great. I arrived early. I was seen before my appointed time. I was examined with care. MAMMO exam can be quite painful. The staff was quite informative. No complaints.

  129. Best experience I’ve ever had in a hospital – from pre-admission, surgery center and to post-op. Every encounter with the GW staff exceeded my expectations. They were all very kind, caring, and helpful in answering all my questions. I really appreciate it so much and wish GW University Hospital continued success. Thank you!

  130. the gift shop doesnt deliver at all. Which is pretty disappointing considering my loved one is there and I am out of state. They also do no answer the phone until much later in the day. This hospital needs better customer service. Major points lost.

  131. I went through the ER for a J feeding replacement. Arrived Saturday the 24th at 5 pm and wasn’t discharged until Sunday the 25th at 8:30 am.
    Unfortunate for me as the stoma had started to close before two great surgeons …

  133. Was recently there for a surgical procedure. While being operated on thief entered my room and stole my shoes, wallet and phone charger. Went home in socks. No security report made or taken. Very poor customer service from techs taking your …

  134. The Nurse Diane (not sure the Spelling, Dianna ‘pronounced’) provided me with the worst treatment ever. If it wasn’t for the new nurse Michelle (was amazing) I would have been in the worst shape. Michelle took care of me the way a nurse …

  135. I was referred by Urgent Care to an ER. We chose GWU ER and were so thankful. The admitting and triage team were phenomenal. Since it was a delicate and immediate issue, we were taken in quickly and handled with care. The techs, physicians, …

  136. I am still IN transitioning to Washington D.C. and there are numerous things to take care of such as your health. When I tell you that healthcare should be universal no matter were you live but more importantly every facility should follow …

  137. Very happy with the level of medical service they provided. The doctors and nurses were outstanding. Being admitted is a bit like being in the military with people shouting instructions (they just need to invest in PA system to fix this!).

  138. Best Hospital in the city of Dc, the whole staff took care of me with a foot infection where i almost lost my right foot. the entire staff in the wound care center are family to me now❤️ And Dr Lee the surgeon that took care of me is the …

  139. I really rate my experience with zero stars, But to submit this review I had to select at least one.This was the worst emergency room experience I’ve ever had. I waited over 12 hours in a disgusting waiting room and was not seen at all. I …

  140. One of the longest and most terrifying experiences. I stayed in the emergency room for 16 hours to give me three stitches. They are not organized so you have to keep good eye. Most nurses were treating people in a very rude and rough way, …

  141. I was really frustrated that I was told I couldn’t be seen for at least 12 hours after waiting for 5 hours to see a doctor, so I ended up leaving. Nobody ever told me what could possibly be the issue and I was told that I would get my test …

  142. I copied and pasted this because
    this is the same experience, I had with taking my 87 yrs old uncle I took him to get help with his medicine etc today. Sitting for hours around people, that …

  143. I like everything about this hospital except the emergency room. They do t show empathy. I went I at 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant because I couldn’t take a step without getting dizzy and being short of breath. My husband took me in thru Er …

  144. The waiting room was full. My visit took 11 hours. I felt like I was thrown away from the care of GWUH-ER MDs and the two handled me involving putting in me the largest vaginal separator and the female cranking hold with both her hands …

  145. Went in for colonoscopy. Not my first one. Severely understaffed. Staff was rushing around, disorganized. I did not feel confident, as I heard them discussing how they might shuttle between me and another patient scheduled at the same …

  146. The care in the ER was great, however the 3rd floor cardiac care was sub par. Being a pain management patient who was having a lupus, fibromyalgia flair my oral meds were not working and I needed IV pain medication to break the pain cycle. …

  147. Individually, each and every person I met was, in a word, kindtabulous. Loved them.
    But, the 3 day experience was worse than any other hospital that I’ve been. No …

  148. I don’t mind waiting past appointment time, but no one gave me any idea of how long a delay I faced, and there often was no one around to even ask. I changed into my hospital gown and sat in the waiting area for almost an hour with no one …

  149. I went into the ER because I was have chest and abdominal pain, and unable to eat or drink anything without pain. I had previously had surgery at another hospital six weeks prior but could not been seen there due to overcrowding. I went …

  150. I have NEVER in my entire life had experienced such a dismissive and careless care in any ER anywhere in the world. I went in with a fever and an urine test. They gave couple of pills for it and took the urine sample for the test. I waited …

  151. Wait time was ridiculously long and waiting room chairs were completely full, I spent 4 hours sitting in a chair in excruciating pain. When I spoke to the front desk, I was told the longest wait time was 12 hours, unacceptable for an …

  152. Sandy was freaking amazing!! She made me feel extremely comfortable and we laughed almost the whole time.. Great patient-caregiver skills!! She definitely deserves a pat on the back!! Thank you as people like her are a rare gem to have and encounter!!

  153. If you’re in need of immediate help I promise you George Washington ER is the ABSOLUTE last place you want to come to. You’re better off dealing with whatever you’re going through on your own. Lobby full of people and no one has been seen …

  154. The Hospital Staff was very professional in my regards to the Nurses. I did have a less positive experience with a tech representative bc of a language barrier. I was in alot of pain and she was laughing at my requests in which I found …

  155. Service was horrible. I’m 6 months pregnant, I was having breathing problems, lightheaded, and heart palpitations I waited 4 hours and a half in the emergency waiting room and still was not seen. My fiancé asked if I could have some water …

  156. Great staff. Excellent service. I like the way they do the meals now. You’re given a menu when you first check in and you call in your order like room service at a hotel. They have your diet and are aware of all restrictions. Awesome!

  157. I came to the emergency room for shortness of breath and very bad chest pain! They took a chest X-ray and that was it! I have been in here for 3.5 hours and the man that checked me in said that the longest someone waited was for 7 hours! …

  158. Surgery was a success. However, DO NOT PAY any money up front if you are in for surgery. They will push you to pay something up front, do not do so. I paid 2K day of after reception said I had to pay something, which I never heard anything …

  159. My hernia repair operation — my second since I had my first one in 2013– from pre-op to check-in went smoothly, aided by the professional GW Hospital staff, and the operation itself was on time, went as anticipated, and I was home in the …

  160. Where do I begin with my reasons for a negative review. This has nothing to do with the surgery staff and doctors. That was excellent so there are some reasons to give a good review. Even in the Hospital itself for overnight visits there …

  161. Dr Vaziri, the surgeon, and his team were always there for me and came often to check up how I was doing. All the nurses were also very nice though they seemed overworked (too many patients for a few nurses) and at times it was not easy to …

  162. Best ICU team , however it is very important to have good insurance that really does matter in life !!! After a while you won’t be allowed to stay their. They take great care of people and do everything they can but after a while they get …

  163. The doctors, nurses and everybody else at the ER was very friendly and did their best to get my CT Scan done. It did take almost four hours from start to finish but being an ER the personnel are busy on more critical patients. Very pleased with the professionalism and care from all involved at GW Hospital ER.

  164. My treatment in the emergency room was first rate. However, I had to wait 6 hours in the waiting area before I could see a doctor. It makes sense that waiting times are longer for patients who are not seriously injured, but the emergency room should hire more doctors and other staff to reduce waiting times for everyone.

  165. Yesterday I was having sharp stabbing pains for 20 minutes in Center of my chest over to my left side. At the hospital for a full hour & a have was having very strong heart palpitations that also shook my arm. I was told my ekg was fine by …

  166. Second time here in the Emergency Room and Never been seen by a doctor … EVER. I came and brought other people to this place and unfortunately they have never been seen by a doctor. Other then a “check up” getting your blood pressure check …

  167. I am from out of town, and the doctor I consulted with referred me to this hospital. I had a terrible experience. Waited for 14 hours and left without being seen by a doctor. I asked a few times for how long I had to wait and was told they …

  168. Worst ER I’ve ever been to. Wicked long wait for being the 3rd person there, 6 hrs before got taken back. Dirty sheets and blanket on bed. Rude, unattentive staff. Extremely dirty facility all around, bathrooms were extra disgusting. Said …

  169. 12 hours in the emergency room? The worst part was the last 2.5 hours after the doctors finally saw me and I was waiting for a shot of antibiotic that for some reason was not being released by the pharmacy. I was left alone in the …

  170. I have never ever been to a hospital that tells patients that my sickness was not a Priority!! In what world did hospitals start doing that. I truly understand extremely extremely sick patients get number 1 priority as they should but …

  171. Sitting in er waiting room for 3 hours . With a friend who is waiting to be seen . Went to ambassador guy to ask where vending machine was to get a drink . He said they did not have any . Said coffee shop closed 3 min before I asked . We …

  172. The absolute worst hospital I’ve ever been to. It’s only a handful of nurses that actually enjoy their job and care for their patients. Most of the nurses were very rude for no reason. I would call to ask for something and they would hang …

  173. I expected to wait, paperwork to be missing, and ornery staff providing generic service typical of a large institution. My experience was the total opposite- my procedure was super efficient with every professional asking questions and …

  174. Everything went smoothly. My appointment time was honored. Personnel in Radiology were efficient and personable.
    My only complaint is that the bathroom in the cafeteria was filthy. I expected more in a hospital setting.

  175. I went to the ER the first day because I was getting flu-ish symptoms. I had to sit in the lobby overnight before I could get a bed but I can understand that since it was crowded. I was told that I have Covid and they prescribed me with …

  176. I recently spent several hours at GW hospital radiology unit for a diagnostic test. Everyone who was part of my procedure from the admitting staff, nurses, doctors and everyone in between was attentive, caring and professional. I highly recommend this hospital. I felt safe and cared for the entire time.

  177. I went to the emergency room at the GWU on Sunday, July 10th, 2022, about 12:30 pm. I had a very bad pain in the heart area. I was sitting in the waiting room for about 6 hours. I asked nurse ” When is the doctor will see me ?”. She replied …

  178. 10 hour wait in the waiting room. I don’t know how this is considered acceptable for an ’emergency’ room, it wasn’t even that crowded. Poorly managed? On the other hand the nurses and doctors were wonderful, once they were able to begin care it was thorough and communication was great.

  179. 2 stars because triage staff were nice and I got through registration and initial processing in under 45 min of arrival. Can’t go beyond that because it doesn’t take 4+ hours for a doctor to read an X-ray. Triage nurse says it takes a long …

  180. If I could give this negative reviews I would. I wouldn’t take any person I value to this hospital. I went to the ER in bad condition via ambulance. I was never seen. I waited about 7 or 8 hours. At some point I think I passed out from …

  181. I arrived with potential for a pulmonary embolus. Once the triage nurse did labs to rule out a heart attack, I was left in the waiting room for 8hrs with no one checking up on me to see if I had in fact thrown an embolus. After 8 hrs I got …

  182. My experience with the physical therapy department is hands down, great! From the time I step through the sliding glass doors until is exceptional. From the gentle reminder to lift my mask to the sincereity of the therapist I commend you staff.

  183. Everyone from the receptionists to the doctors was super nice. Very organized. It was explained to me what the process would be beforehand and put my mind at ease. I got a follow up the next day to check on me. Super relaxing when coming in nervous!

  184. I know we’re still in an pandemic but I waited 5 hours to get a bed in the emergency room area. I had blood in my stool for 3 days with cramping and they discharge me that they see nothing wrong and a prescription for Tylenol which I can …

  185. I had an amazing experience at the GWUH 2 days ago i underwent surgery and it was my first time ever going there all the staff members, doctors and nurses were fantastic my surgeon Doctor Anita Mc swain is one of the best in her profession …

  186. The hospital use to have a very clean environment in the past but it has gone downhill. The admitting area the chairs some of the seats was ripped. The toilets were dirty and no toilet paper in any of the bathroom I went in. Cleanness I …

  187. Our son was in ICU #6 and I couldn’t be more thankful for the care he received from his CC Nurses (Alexa, Kim, Kristen, Sarah, and Megan) and his team of doctors (Adam, Karen, etc). They’re definitely my heroes. Bless them not only on this Thanksgiving but forever. We’re forever grateful 🙏🙏🙏 …

  188. The absolute worst medical experience I’ve had in my life!! I get that it’s a learning hospital and all, but these students should be better supervised.I had about 3 different rounds of students come in. One of which I allowed to examine …

  189. I had a problem with the billing which was taken care of 2 weeks before my scheduled procedure on a conference call with my insurance and the Doctors office. When I arrived the day of the procedure it was not done by the Doctors office …

  190. I arrived at the emergency room at around 1130 am. I was there until 10:30pm before I was examined. I am 66 years old and fell on my kitchen floor this am. I have experienced excruciating pain and couldn’t walk or put any weight on my …

  191. I went in on a Saturday morning to have a very painful sprained ankle x-rayed and treated. I’m so pleased to say that my entire experience was 4 hours. While this May seem like a long time, the team kept things moving and I received very …

  192. Not quite sure where even to begin. Came in for some stitches on my chin and from the start, the experience was terrible. The front desk worker was beyond rude and condescending and the triaging was off. I was forced to wait for TWELVE …

  193. I was in the hospital for 1.5 hours to do pre surgery testing of 3 vials of blood and a urine sample. I think it would have taken longer had I not made clear that was about to walk out to get to a doctor appointment. This would be 10 …

  194. Would have given 5 stars but the check in process is far from smooth. The folks behind the registration desks don’t know how to wear their face mask. After that, the professionalism of the nurses and doctors before, during and after the procedure was flawless. Thank you.

  195. I was under such great care during labor and delivery at GW Hospital. My experience postpartum was horrible though. Nurses gave me conflicting information about my care and took no accountability when I shared the feedback. My child was …

  196. My nurse, Chloe who works in the ICU is awesome, so nice, friendly and helpful! She’s such a kind person. I can’t imagine that working in the ICU is so hard, she made her job look effortless! One night I got an MRI super early in the …

  197. For the most part the staff was helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. Spending 8 to 9 hours in a bed in the ER wasn’t fun, ultimately I was treated well. I thank everyone that helped me. If I can I need to get the proper referral for my prescription. I had trouble trying to get in touch with the doctor that took care of my procedure.

  198. I have very mixed opinions of my experience at GW University Hospital ER. In terms of wait times, I found the service to be atrocious. In total, it took me 18 hours to be seen by medical personnel. Triage did what they could to get me ready …

  199. I visited the Emergency room. I was initially screened in an area where other people can overhear everything. No privacy. After waiting over 4 hours I was told the current wait to see a doctor was 20-24 hours. Would have been nice to …

  200. Kevin and Geo the EMTs were wonderful. Once in the ER, Dr. Hussein and Sam (a medical student) were very positive and friendly while handling my never ending bloody nose. Watching the movement in the ER was amazing. Not only dealing with …

  201. I don’t understand how this hospital has 3.8 stars. The ED is awful. I had a possible infected gall bladder or gall bladder stone. When i registered, i had to wait 12 hours, after nearly passing out from pain to get admitted. Once i got a …

  202. I was not please with the care in the emergency dept . I was treated poorly by the intake staff and told that I was taken off triage and to sit in the crowded emergency room. I could not pass any urine after having surgery from the …

  203. Today I visited the hospital during a severe nosebleed at 5:45 am this morning. I was told to have a seat. Approximately 40 minutes later, I was final sent to triage where my vitals were taken and then told to have another seat back in the …

  204. From the check-in to going home after the out-patient surgery the staff and doctors were wonderful. Professional, kind, patient. All was explained clearly and my questions were completely answered. Everyone put me at ease. The hospital was clean and not intimidating. All in all, a positive experience irregardless of the procedure.

  205. It’s always a calming feeling to enter GW Hospital. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. The facility is always clean and welcoming. My mammogram technician is the BEST! She’s gentle, pleasant, with and humorous with a …

  206. Though I have had less than stellar experiences in the past, this time was better. The woman at the front desk was far more pleasant than others in the past. The woman who checked me in was very sweet and efficient. Kindness and listening …

  207. Georgetown is a great hospital once you have been seen. The nurses on the floor and more caring. However going to the ER is totally ridiculous, each time I had to come to the ER the wait time has been over 9 hours top. That’s just sitting …

  208. I went to the emergency department so I have no knowledge of the rest of the hospital. I should also say that I was having major issues when I arrived and was sent back very, very quickly. I could give it a poor review because my nurse …

  209. My stay was very good considering my broken ankle. The orthopedic surgery team got me all fixed up. The nursing staff, especially Laura, Florence and Gwen were excellent. The care techs were mostly great especially Dawn, Alexis,Lina and …

  210. Your people are great! You should have a good industrial engineer examining your processes to find ways of speeding results and physician reviews. I came in with chest pain, was triaged quickly, has a EKG within 45 minutes. The nurse …

  211. I used to come here all the time and the service used to be great! Now you sit in the waiting room for mad hours. The triage nurse shows no empathy and sympathy for the patients that are as true and dying pain. I sat here tonight and watch …

  212. This was the BEST mammogram visit I have ever had (and I am 59, so I have had a LOT of mammograms!) It made me realize how important the technician is in doing the test–this Technician was outstanding! She was skillful, personable, and …

  213. For the past 2 months, I have been fortunate enough to be seen at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. I am new to Washington DC, so it is the first time I have experienced the level of care that goes on there. …

  214. Stated I would have a 6 hour wait. Fine.
    7 hours and I only had my vitals checked. No urine or blood collected when ( I know the doctor will ask). I know that it’s wait times all over in DC but it’s not even super crowded. I should’ve just stayed home & hoped for the best. Never Again

  215. So far I’ve been treated for a late miscarriage and severe panic attacks and anxiety attacks. This hospital is the absolute best hospital in the area ! The staff are so empathetic and supportive. They’re so helpful and understanding. They …
