  1. Today is 11/12/18 I’m in the hospital since 3:30 am because I was vomiting with blood and i still waiting for someone who taking care of my situation… my husband ask 3 time how long and nothing I understand that I’m not the only patient …

  2. Worst experience ever. I got hit by a car and they didn’t even give me a room I was in a hallway the whole time. The lady who took me to get a CT scan was so rude and inconsiderate. I got in at 11 and didn’t leave until 4 took them 3 hours to give me pain medicine. Avoid this place at all costs.

  3. Horrible hospital!! My son was in fever and they sent him home without doing absolutely anything about it. Patients have to be agonizing so they can actually take a patient seriously. Worst hospital in the world..

  4. Can I give this hospital a zero?!!! Very very unprofessional staff over the phone and in person. Every single encounter I have with this hospital has be very unpleasant. The whole staff should be retrained and be reminded that this is a …

  5. I had cardiac bypass surgery at St. Joseph’s. 100% from start to finish. Incredible surgeons (Dr. Connolly), nurses and Physician’s Assistants.

  6. Waited purposely until after hours just prior to an out patient test to call and tell me I would be responsible for almost $900 for a test. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES, will never deal with this hospital again.

  7. My brother died because they misdiagnosed him with the wrong cancer. He could have been getting the right treatment and he would have still been alive.
    I think it’s the fact that the staff are religious and not from this country …

  8. Horrible Mother was in the ER for over 8 hours today… just to turn around and go home without being helped. Which I told her not to go there in the first place… it’s always slow, and to know that this is a hospital sucks

  9. I had chest pain in the middle of the night so I drove my self to the ER , in which case the threw in a room with no sheets no pillow, freezing, no one came to my bed from the staff , finally when the nurse showed up to draw blood from me I …

  10. They made us wait for 3 hours in the ER &’ when we finally got called the room we had wasn’t cleaned at all!!! The remains of the previous person was there and it was filthy with garbage and left over medical items… we felt uncomfortable and left ! NEVER AGAIN!

  11. My son was born at 25 week weight 1 pound and 6 oz and everything was just great. Today he is 19 months weighting 31 pound and in great condition, thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff.

  12. Horrible service I was there Friday night after I had a car accident together with my friend they just gave as some pills and then a discharged without checking on me even that I said I had a brain surgery also we were hitting in the head …

  13. 1 -1 this is not a place to go for care I went for an interview and the interviewer never showed up had me waiting for 45 mins I closed my account to apply, for jobs opportunities had bad experience from the door unprofessional, – everyone who I met was not happy to be working there- it’s a no for me

  14. I was there last night from 10-3am waiting to be seen, people at the front desk are not really helpful or nice. I don’t understand why. But wait, I had to leave because 4 1/2 hours later and still didn’t get any attention. People were waiting there for 5-6 hours. Like that’s crazy. NEVER AGAIN

  15. St Joseph’s hospital discriminates against gay & Transgender people (they were recently sued in court for discrimination). The hospital accepts funds from the state and government therefore, should not exclude anyone for any reason. …

  16. Next time, i’ll definitely go to Hackensack hospital. Every time I come to this hospital it takes hours for someone to help. After someone helps, it takes almost another hour to get a response back on what the problem was. Sometimes I’m even placed in the hallway while someone with a less serious issue is in a room. It’s horrible.

  17. I was brought in for stomach issues, was given an IV drip and medication that I later found out COUNTERACTS and REACTS HIGHLY to my current medication, and was unable to receive proper care. They basically said, you aren’t showing signs of anything wrong, so go home. NEVER again.

  18. Worst hospital i have been too waited 8 hours and 20 minutes in the ER room, bad communication, all staff was rude when aproached, then the doctor spend less then 2 minutes inside the room before diagnosing me and prescribing antibiotics. Was miss diagnosed and had to go back for the same problem 5 days later

  19. Deserves no stars at all. My niece 104.5 fever, very congested and vomiting. Waited almost two hours in the emergency room. Told us only 4 kids ahead of her and they called 8 kids and still won’t call my niece. Kept calling more kids and kept telling us that we were next but nothing.

  20. FANTASTIC NURSES! Yet this hospital is all about $! It’s in a poverty stricken town but they want you to pay to park 5$ a hour, 6$ for A DAY for TV, & 7$ A DAY if they want to call you! It’s crazy! Don’t the medical bills pay enough! What if you don’t have $! You can’t go see a family member who’s sick?! CRAZY JUST CRAZY

  21. Worset service, worset atuttide, i came to emergency brcause i have an emergency not because i feel good and just came to sit there. I waited 2 hours to go in, and i threw up 3 times in the waiting room and they still didn’t let me go in. …

  22. Everything. From when I got there till when I left. From when I opened the main entrance doors to the freindly lady there who gave me a pass to go to the surgery department. And admissions so privite I paid and was taken upstairs to the 1st …

  23. I came here after going to Chilton with severe oral pain & facial swelling after being told by Morristown ER theres nothing they can do for me I was hesitant to come here boy was i wrong!!! I was seen by a very nice DR who saw my face and …

  24. Excellent experience! From the ER Receptionist until leaving the hospital everyone was super nice, especially THANK YOU to Dr. Zev Lob and Ken Livingston for taking care of me with so much care and devotion!

  25. If I could give them less I would the ER staff are very rude won’t recommend to go to this hospital. I had a really stomach pain that I couldn’t even walk never felt a pain like that in my entire life and they just told me to sit a relax. I took my things and head out to Hackensack hospital where they treat me asap.

  26. This hospital is the worst hospital ever they do not respect the appointment really bad customer service í can not say anything good about this place at all. The state need to close this place the room are so bad and restroom. And they do …

  27. Worst hospital ever. Was there for 6 hours with my mother whom was in pain after a wait came to find out they took her out of the system claiming they had called her when they didn’t. Every time they called we asked who are you calling and …

  28. Terrible experience with Human Resources specifically. I called on 2 occasions regarding the status of an Application. The first time, a woman hung on on me. The second time, she put me on hold to a gentleman who told me he was the one who …

  29. This hospital is the most unprofessional I have ever known…. trying to schedule a pre admitting test for surgery a whole week leaving messages and no one has a courtesy to call back …no doubt I prefer 100% St Barnabas were I had surgery before

  30. I called this place twice and spoke to a customer service and was assured that I was going to get a call back, but they never did. Calling people back to give an answer isn’t hard and it seems as though it was too hard for this hospital.

  31. This hospital sucks sooo much I have never wrote bad comments but I’m telling I would never in my life come here…It worst dam hospital I have ever in my life been to.. my mother hurt her self and she had bad eye and bleeding. Got to er at …

  32. Last night I got hit by a Van and had to be rushed to the hospital. When I arrived with blood all over my face and a man carrying me in they still made me wait in the waiting area for over half an hour. After I got taken in I asked if they …

  33. they make wait for ever. The doctors usually don’t check you at all, they act based on guessing. The point is that the hospital sucks, the charge you with more money that they are supposed to. My insurance card have the rate of copay for each visit, even though they charge me 28 bucks over the real price.

  34. I always hear people talk bad about st. Joe. But it came to light for me. I was there for heart problems and the whole time I was there I was complaining to the doc . About my stomach no one did nothing upon getting ready to discharge I …

  35. Excellent service from few nurse’s, one of them really helped me with stuffs and took care of my mom, i would’ve give them 5 stars but they took little bit too much time checking on patients and overall everything was great. (Thanks to that nurse again)

  36. One of the best hospital in the world. In the year2004. I almost died. Bleeding internally and I was seduced coma. My daughters that I wouldn’t make it. By the grace of God and professional doctors and nurses in (surgical i.c.u. ) all staff I give a 10.!!

  37. ER experience was the worst!!!! I came and was signed in and they gave me bracelet and told me to wait…3 hours go by and a bunch of people who were here after I came we’re seen and I’m still waiting. I go to the ER desk and ask how much …

  38. Really good experience with orphpedic surgery i had back in November. Staff was extremely attentive. Professional and caring. Felt like it was very efficient time wise too. Very good experience overall!

  39. Went there at 12 pm with severe pain and vomiting. I thougt it was my appendix. I left the hospital at 10PM and never was I seen buy a doctor. Reason being NO BEDS. Thank God that what ever Ihad went away. There was 5 other patients after me with the same symptom, pain and vomiting.

  40. If you’re in labor I recommend you go somewhere else my water broke and they send me home they didn’t check me for 10 hours I was losing amniotic fluid for 10 hours before they even got me a room nurses were friendly but that was …

  41. 5 stars to the staff at St Joes Paterson. My experience was such a pleasure from beginning to end, reception all the way to discharge. God bless you all for the amazing work you do and always with a smile. Thank you for taking care of my daughter!

  42. About two years ago, my 7 year old daughter ended up in another hospital. She was critically ill; and since there was a children’s hospital within St. Joseph Regional Medical Center they transferred her there. They put us in a room with …

  43. Horrible experience on Thursday night. My boyfriend had a 105 fever and a bad infection on his arm that caused his fever to skyrocket we were waiting for 4 hours in the emergency room. We ended up leaving and going to Hackensack instead. This hospital really sucks. Never going back to st. Joseph’s.

  44. Horrible, HORRIBLE experience, while recovering from surgery with nasty, ignorant nurses. I will never voluntarily go there again and pray I never get taken there. Compared to this dump, HUMC was a spa. I now only use Drs who work out of …

  45. Took my baby girl here absolutely awesome. The doctors and nurses were great, they break down the information so i could understand. Service was quick compared to other medical centre i would recommend it in a second.

  46. If 0 stars was a option that would be it. I wouldn’t recommend this hospital to anyone! I had a surgery there on June 21st 2018 started out laproscopic then turned into open surgery with small intestine gone threw by hand. Exactly a week …

  47. The service was very bad especially from two nurses that were helping me in the emergency room floor number 3 her name is Nya and the second one is Iris. I was very mad because everytime I asked for help they wouldn’t even look at me which made me annoyed.

  48. This hospital is the worst I feel like if someone were to come here almost about to die they would treat the patient right.
    I came here three time and had issues with being treated. And what they told me …

  49. I was in the hospital Tuesday June 11th and June 12th first in the tower critical care room 206, where I had extraordinary care,they were fantastic,totally amazing all of them,and especially a woman named Regina she was fabulous took …

  50. I am infinitely grateful to staff at all levels of this hospital! They saved my child’s life more than once. Each time they cared for my child as their own. Thanks to each of them!

  51. update, 7/8: they’ve created lines at the entrance and streamlined the process so it is more efficient and safer since yesterday. elevator guidelines still needed, but a real improvement for everyone’s safety. …

  52. If I could say 0 stars I would. Don’t ever come to this hospital. I’ve watch people who were bleeding be left in the waiting room. People with broken bones left in the waiting room. I’ve gone through 15 hour waits just sitting there in pain …

  53. I had to go for same day surgery and the entire staff was wonderful!! My OB GYN, Dr Keirce, anasthesia, and all the nursing staff were attentive and knowledgeable. I felt great after my procedure and had a quick recovery (better than my …

  54. They don’t deserve even 1 star. Apparently their billing department doesn’t know what the hell they are doing. My husband went to the emergency room and our insurance covers that, yet they billed us stating it was a routine and tried to …

  55. The worst hospital yet. The doctors get mad/offended when asked questions about your being. I’m 32 weeks pregnant I was unfortunately transferred to this hospital for their NICU just incase I happened to give birth. They immediately wanted …

  56. The staff laugh at the patients and it has been recorded and the proper authorities has been notified. Along with the patient being denied treatment. The nurses were pretending to be drs as well. Don’t come here if you value your health and sanity.

  57. The worst hospital with worst staff no one cares about sick people I have been in the hospital for over 5 hours and still I didn’t get the chance to hear my name so I can go inside. This is the worst experience I have been in my life

  58. My co worker stated the nurse gave the patient the heart medication (pills) to take and walked away. The patient laughed and said she was not going to take it !! omg 🙁 I’m sure the nurse documented observing the patient take the meds in …

  59. I have been waiting at the ER for OVER 8 HOURS and they haven’t seen my 87 years old dad. They keep saying they are cleaning the rooms. This is unacceptable. I have seen other people come and go.

  60. If I could say 0 stars I would. Don’t ever come to this hospital. I’ve watch people who were bleeding be left in the waiting room. People with broken bones left in the waiting room. I’ve gone through 15 hour waits just sitting there in pain …

  61. Worse emergency room my husband was there for a bad cough n had to end up leaving after 5 hour of waiting to be seeing which never happen. Worse place to be in case of an emergency. We arrived at saint Joseph in wayne n 8n minutes he was been treated.

  62. ER department is not serving well to patients. I took my mom at 4 am to find what exactly was going on. she kept complaining about her feet hurts and her nose was bleeding because she fell down but they never did any x-ray so we had to ask …

  63. This hospital has changed so much they suck and they are so unprofessional speaking rudely about their patients. I went in today for a fever and sore throat and they didn’t even bother sending me to a real room. They kept me in an open room …

  64. There was a roach in my daughters room (she was in the er). Highly outdated, and not clean. I asked for a vending machine and the nurse told me “they don’t have any”…. what!?!? The doctor was okay… but it was so hard to understand her accent. I would definitely recommend a different hospital – especially for your child.

  65. I went to the emergency room today because of bad stomachache. After 2 hours of waiting, someone took me in and after 1 hour, a doctor came in with an echo machine to draw my blood. He didn’t know how to draw blood and kept fishing to find …

  66. I had front row seat the other day at there emergency room i was there for non covid problem. I can not offer enough praise for the er doctors ans nurses and techs that dept was 200 percent over capacity i dont know how they do it they are real heroes!!! God bless them all!!! St Joseph paterson hospital.

  67. This hospital is so dirty. I have been to the ER a few times and it is just horrible as far as being clean. The medical care is great that is why I keep coming back but as far as a clean room from the ER to inpatient it’s all very nasty. The photo attached is of room 17 in the pediatrics ER and that is blood on the floor.

  68. So I bring my 1 month old for an ultrasound at 9am, they do the ultrasound and find out that he needs to have surgery to open up one of his tracks to his stomach and that they can do it right away so we stayed here instead of trying to find …

  69. Had my uncle stay for 3 months due to Covid 19 and a stroke caused by the virus… they took great care of him after being on ventilator on and off and gallbladder removal. He is now on Rehab Center. He is 81 years old they never gave up on him.

  70. Just wanted to say thank you to all of the doctor’s and nurse’s at the hospital who help my dad with his speedy recovery from a stroke which he suffered on Saturday. Big thank you to the doctor’s and nurse’s at the ICU you guys were …

  71. Sitting in the ER since 6pm with my daughter and grandson with a fever of 102, was called in at 8, 11 and still n ones has come to check up on him. St Joe’s employee walks in with her child, dr, nurses and everyone comes to check up on the …

  72. I cannot even begin to describe the DISGUST I feel towards this place after watching, with my own 2 eyes, how terribly they treated my brother a couple nights ago. The staff is unsympathetic and the building itself is disgusting- I’ve been …

  73. Best trauma hospital around. They saved my husband’s life. Doctors and staff were fabulous. I am a nurse who is not affiliated with this hospital and usually find something to complain about but not with St Joe’s. Since 2017 we have …

  74. Brought my mom to the ED who had confusion.
    They placed her in a room on the FLOOR, freezing and gave her a gown. Had to find blankets. Hours went by, continuously asking when she will be seen by a nurse …

  75. I visited this morning 05/ 09/18 the ambulatory same day surgery department to have a knee surgery. Starting from the receptions at the main lobby, the patient’s registration department , moving to the nurses assistants, the nurses, the …

  76. Was taken yesterday by ambulance to this hospital because of a really bad sprained ankle. Was treated quickly and amazingly by all the staff, however one nurse truly stuck out to me. She wasn’t the nurse that was helping assist me, however …

  77. All staff was extremely helpful and kind. (Surgery center ) I would definitely recommend this Hospital!
    They also gave me a get well soon card.

  78. I think that one star is much more then what this hospital deserve. The first time I went to the ER I was left for six hours dealing with worst staff. When I left the hospital I decided not to come back no matter what. But the next time I …

  79. DO NOT COME HERE. 0 stars!! Im a nurse myself and i do not work here, I was just in here 2 hours ago helping a friend in the ER, but i was absolutely dumbfounded at the stuff i witnessed in my 3 hours at this hospital. A patient came out …

  80. I wrote a review for St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center, Paterson (cancer unit), over a year ago, and it seems to have been deleted. Aside from two lovely nurses, the treatment from the staff (doctors, nurses, aides, etc) at this …

  81. We have been waiting for 2 hrs to be seen, my daughters doctor sent us over because she’s having trouble breathing. And we have been sitting here since 10:45am to be seen. I hate hospitals as it is and this experience makes me hate it more. …

  82. My mom went in for a heart valve preceedure and at every step of her care at St. Joseph’s she was treated with so much love and respect. I can’t thank the doctors, nurses and especially the nurses aids who often get over looked for their …

  83. Very professional staff. Nurses are very attentive. My nurses Devin,patricia.natalia ,julie and amal were excellent same as brandee ,Desta and everyone in the maternity floor i was at. Answered my questions , were kind and took good care of me did everything to make my stay be more pleasant. Thank you for an excellent service.

  84. Charge you for parking (minimum of $5.00), and put you in a room indefinitely–with no one willing to give any info. Had to leave after waiting 1.5 hours for simple X-ray and come to NYC, where I was x-rayed and seen by a doctor within 20 …

  85. One of the least professional and filthiest hospitals I’ve been in. They performed surgery on my mom who receives Medicare. After surgery, my sister and I asked to see him to find out how it went. The surgeon was annoyed and frustrated that …

  86. Emergency is good. However nurses at the hospital are sonething else… will say 70% of them are always in bad mood and not helpful at all. Avoid this place … take your loved ones to a better one!

  87. ER bedside manor is good . The nurses on the 3rd floor where my grandmother is in , is also good and attentive with medications , radiology results etc , but what I don’t understand is why do we have to call for room service everyday ? …

  88. The worst place to be when you in need . My 13 year old daughter was there today at the ER . And Absolutely Nothing was Done . They had her wait for over 4 hours. Then when finally a room was Available she sat there for another hour …

  89. Hadi my second baby here. I was very pleased with the nursing staff, the overall birthing experience, my obgyn, the hospital room service especially the nutrition and kitchen department. ALL the nurses were super nice and friendly and …

  90. My wife’s water broke and I drove straight to the emergency room( my mistake). It took them a while to get someone to assist us. Afterwards everything went great. Her doctor showed up at the appointed time and performed the surgery. The …

  91. I will look to find out if I could file a case for prejudice on mother’s breastfeeding babies because they are not allowed to be able to feed the newborn at the hallways or any public premises at the St. Joseph hospital and possibly on any of the buildings of medical services. The employees they do not allowed as a rule of the hospital.

  92. My Mom was admitted to St. Joeseph Hospital in Paterson NJ. They took good care of her. She had pneumonia. Yes people complain about waiting as I see in other reviews, but waiting is a part of life , we need to understand the Nurses, Dr.’s and Tech’s are working hard to get us and our loved ones better.

  93. Worst hospital I’ve ever been to! If u ate pregnant, avoid this hospital! This is also a learning hospital so be careful with who comes in the room! Make sure you ask and me sure They ask if it is ok for someone who is learning to be in the room!

  97. St. Josephs isn’t in the best part of town, but the care here, especially for children is excellent. During a scare with our 1 month old, the emergency room staff were excellent and comforting. However, the pediatric staff made us …

  98. If I could leave a zero star I would. the pediatric emergency is a joke. I came in with my 10 month year old daughter at 3am and was never seen. I decide to take my daughter to hackensack hospital because of the lack of attendance.it was …

  99. My fiance and I got to the ER at 9pm. We were there because he had severe kidney pain and blood when urinating. There was about 30 people there waiting when we got there. After an hour and 15 minutes, I went to the front desk to find out …

  100. If I could give this hospital a negative star I would. If you’re considering taking your child there please do yourself the favor and take them to another hospital. My niece had severe appendicitis and when her parents took her here they …

  101. The ER And the staff is terrible. I wouldnt go there if my life is at risk. They need another hospital in paterson because this hospital clearly overcrowded and run buy nasty staff doctors and nurses. You could wait up to 8-9 hours in the …

  104. I have been a patient at St. Joe’s Dental Clinic for 10 years. Trying to get an appointment or a new dentist is like pulling teeth in itself. My old dentist left and they never called to reassign me. I had to find out myself. I have been …

  105. My son recently had surgery at the hospital. Dr. Aziz is amazing and truly an awesome doctor. When my son came out of surgery he was in very agitated and the nurses were truly companionate and patient. Sandy and Breanna on the Piccu were second to none.

  106. Incompetent people! Disgusting! No one cleans ! Staff who have family with emergencies go first before the other patients! This is disgusting! A kid was vomiting and they called the next orient! Didn’t even clean the chair ! Disgusting! Been here 4 hours and people are horrible! Will never in my life come here again!

  107. I was in the hospital with my wife between May 7th and May 11th 2020. Labor & delivery department is the best, the staff is so professional and sweet. Great nurses working there. All of them were super nice and friendly and accommodating. They often came to check on my wife and help her with anything she needed. I thank all of them!

  108. Before even going into this hospital I had already developed the preconceived notion that it was going to be an outdated building with poor medical attention. I have to admit that I had those beliefs because of where the hospital Is …

  109. The pediatricians, nurses and facilities are great. Came here for a same day surgery with my daughter and it went so well. I was so nervous about the whole experience but honestly the hospital itself was very clean, organized and the nurses …

  112. the worst hospital there is in new jersey, I went to pick up my son’s kidney test, they had a problem to give me the CD claiming that my date of birth was wrong, which one of the people referred to the office did, then one people color …

  113. This hospital merits its poor ratings. Elderly family member in the Geriatric wing. Nurses do not return calls to provide updates before the end of their shift. Something is clearly wrong with the system at this hospital. Take your elderly family elsewhere if you have a choice.

  114. Staff is so nice, spotless and brand new. Everything is ran smoothly and I had a good experience. Not sure how and why anyone would say anything bad about this place. A lot better than most hospitals in north jersey

  115. Doesn’t look like much has changed since I was a 10 year old girl left in a bed in the children’s ward. Nuns were the nurses back then. Nothing to do but wait for barbaric testing each day. My dad came in every day and mom when she could. They regretted ever leaving me there to get the care I needed.

  116. I’ve been in emergency room for like 4 hours already and waiting to be registered so I had to wait another maybe 5 or 6 hours in order to get checked, this hospital by far is the worst ever, as seen in the picture, these guys were chilling …

  117. Pediatric emergency room is very disorganized, and needs lot more coordination. 11pm shift left and we are left on the hallway while after 11pm patients got rooms. Nurse assistant said “oh 11pm shift left and they didn’t update”. Good thing …

  118. I am Aware that the Medical Field is a Very Busy and caring field, We have always been Heroes. But having one Radiologist for the Night Emergency Dept Is Insane. Having patients wait 2 hours for results is the effect of that decision. Very Dirty, dirty bathrooms and Old beds

  119. This has to be the worst hospital EVER!!! Staff is terribly slow with EVERYTHING. Like how do you have a needle from a embroidery machine stuck on a finger for more than 6 HOURS inside a hospital’s emergency room? Does that make ANY TYPE OF …

  120. Wish I could put 0 stars. This place is terrible, my wife had our son there and they were absolutely terrible. The doctors didn’t seem to know what they were doing. My wife started bleeding and the doctors would not tell us anything and the …

  121. I was waiting 4 hours in the waiting room with my baby 104.6 fever then I ask them how long do I have to wait more the lady in the reception she was like if you want you can leave she was sooo rude lady like her don’t deserve reception.

  122. Only way I go is if the ambulance bring me there against my will since the best st Joseph hospital is in wayne!.. always packed , beds even in hallways, people crying of pain, I had to pee twice in the floor since NOBODY CAME TO MY AID …

  123. It’s hit-or-miss depending on the day and time you go today was exceptionally ridiculous but on a Saturday with nice weather you got expect that the place is going to be rather busy for the most part the staff is friendly could be a little …

  124. These doctors are the worst. They don’t disclose a patient’s complete diagnosis like they’re supposed to! As big as Paterson is it’s mind-boggling that this is the only hospital in town. A bunch of quacks!

  125. Waiting at the infusion center is terrible. Scheduled time for infusion was 10:30 am, 2.5 hrs had passed and the medicine still has not arrived. Nursing staff did not even talk to us to update us what’s going on. I understand there is a …

  126. I’m a 20 year old female and I’ve been to this hospital twice for similar reasons and each time I went there they did absolutely nothing to help. I was withdrawing from a medicine I’ve been prescribed to by a doctor and was having severe …

  127. I have no idea how this place is even running. My mom is there covid related and honestly I’m afraid for her life being there. One word, Negligence. The nurses, disgustingly horrible, untrained, unprofessional. (There’s been only a handful …

  128. My wife recently delivered here with Dr. Kaminskyj. Everyone was great! The Mother/Baby units are being upgraded – can’t wait to see how they turn out. Overall everyone was very kind, the nurses and staff were attentive, and we couldn’t …

  129. Before I start my review I want to read it ALL. That is no doubt about the Emergency Entry! Slow very slow But From the bottom of My heart After I crossed the Emergency I really Thanks to The Doctors Nurses and the faculties of The St …

  131. I was upset that this was the hospital my doctor practices just based on the location (Paterson, NJ) and let me tell you… boy was I wrong! This is the best service I’ve ever received in a hospital. The staff is freaking awesome, it’s …

  132. I don’t recommend this hospital at all. If you have a sick child your best bet is to go anywhere else but here. My son had a fever this morning around 3am I take him to the St Joe’s . I believe she is the head nurse of the pediatric …

  133. They will literally let you die in the waiting room before they see you. I’ve been waiting for 3+ hours now, and have seen people come in and out multiple times. People that get here after you get to go in first. The waiting room is for homeless people to sleep in. I’m a nurse and this is literally the worst ER I’ve ever been in

  134. All of the staff especially the male doctors are very sweet and made me feel so comfortable considering the crazy situation I was in going there. Also extremely clean and quick service. The only reason why it isn’t 5 stars is because of one …

  135. The staff housekeeping was good and doctors as well just the the security the old man I asked him for directions and he told me he didn’t know, what kind of security doesn’t know where certain areas are like you work there and he wasn’t new …

  136. Just took my aunt to the ER and witnessed the best kind of medicine called kindness. Katherine the nurse was gentle and kind to my aunt. She served up more of that medicine to the other patient that was alone and hungry. My aunt’s home and feeling better. I’m better for having witnessed it.

  137. My son has an autoimmune disorder, was crying due to severe stomach pain, and throwing up in their ER lobby for 3 hours. When I approached the triage nurse she nonchalantly said she didn’t have a bed for him. But I saw other families come in after me and go in before me. If you want help don’t go to St. Joe’s!!!!!!

  138. Last night my three year old ended up in the emergency room. The staff, everyone from the person who checked us in to the nurses and doctors were amazing. They were professional, KIND, and super attentive. My child ended up being okay, but the kindness they showed us will never be forgotten.

  139. i wrote a review and it appears to be gone .. can they just remove what people have to say?? Filthy place for a hospital and a learning hospital .. you may not have a real doctor caring for you.. beware!!!! …

  140. Hospital stay was good the GI Drs was very nice and understanding they are very caring Thanks Janelle and sonica for being understanding and very respectful I appreciate the Dr for not letting me go into the pych ward I highly recommend this hospital

  141. If I could give this hospital no star I would. My grandmother was waiting long to get checked by the doctor. She waited 4 hours or so. They had just given her pills. Time had passed and a nurse had told her that the doctor was with someone else who was more in bad shape. I highly don’t recommend this hospital!!!

  142. 12 hours. That’s how long I waited and i have not been seen yet. Good luck to who ever comes here, this hospital needs more help than the people who come here for help. Unless you’re dying as I was told by the receptionist. Get ready to wait or be told to go home. As I was.

  143. My first and last time going to this hospital. I brought my daughter here through the Pediatric ER and immediately regretted it. The hospital is filthy! In my few hours here I’ve seen several patients walking around and being transported …

  144. Broke my wrist because of low insurance sent a just graduated doctor to me who looked like he was,12 years old he could not get pain needle into my swollen hand told me he’s resetting my bone and proceeded to tell me scream and swear away …

  145. Their billing department is the most unprofessional service I have come ever across of. Lazy works that don’t do anything but shut you off. I wanted help with a bill and spent 3 hours try to resolve. It took 3 hours to solve their mistake. The manger need to be fired for hiring lazy works.

  146. My sister who has dementia was admitted to this hospital and stayed there for three weeks, let me begin by saying it was a terrible experience! She was not bathed for three whole weeks. Her condition worsened every single day she was there. …

  149. Horrible!
    They brag about their “excellent” nurses award!! That’s a joke, none of them care & you can’t get any of them on the phone. I left message after messages to …

  150. I have to take a moment and comment on an excellent employee you have in your Outpatient Surgery Department. Nurse Natiah is excellent. Your blueprint for hiring should be her. She cares and that’s the most important thing that people need in your waiting room.

  151. Was at hospital from 630pm – 3 am … Had a low pulse of 40 felt dizzy light headed with headache. Wild what they do in this hospital. Well I have a vitamin D, deficiency B12 and they told me everything looks fine. They said blood work is …

  152. Angel our ER nurse was amazing! He was very warm, caring and attentive. He truly seemed to love his job and helping people. Wish all of the nurses were this wonderful.

  153. If I could I wouldn’t even give one star. I had to rush my co-worker to the emergency room because she was having signs of a stroke. The reception was disregarding how urgent the situation was and had my coworker sitting in the waiting room …

  154. Honestly, if you can help it go to a different hospital. If you value your life, do not go to the emergency room because you will be waiting for six hours just to be taken to the room in the back just to wait more hours. They move …

  155. I had the worst experience , my husband came in with chest pain , had him to blood work and ekg , after that nothing , seating in the waiting room for 3 hrs with no words as to what’s going on , when ask when is he going to be seen , the …

  157. Sint Joseph hospital is at its worst. Went today in pain and sick and did nothing but a covid swap and gave a proscription for pills I said dont work and sent me home. No pain meds to help my pain while I was there like they used too let alone they removed most of there seats in the lobby

  158. A friend of mine was admitted to the OB-GYN ward. Was shocked to see the food that she got while i was visiting. Cold soggy fries and a cold tasteless size of a thumb baked cod. Shocking. If you don’t know how to cater for patients, don’t. …

  159. The doctors and nurses were kind and gentle with my father after he suffered a bike accident. I felt everything was handled very professionally. The surgeons were very competent and kept us updated throughout the whole process The only critique was that the nurses assistants seemed short staffed.

  160. The worst emergency service in the state ..the rudest employees I’ve seen in a hospital ever. It’s like someone is forcing these ppl to work there. I don’t recommend any one to ever go to that emergency room. There’s alot of hospitals around go to anyone except that one .

  161. We went for our toddler daughter’s eye surgery. All staffs were very kind (especially to my girl). My lo got scared and cried so hard right after waking up from anesthesia, nurses were very calm and tried their best to soothe her with …

  162. Very poor service. Very poor patient care. They don’t treat patients with care they don’t check on patients to make sure they are ok. Forget to send orders in.The nurses just sit around. They need more staff and better ones too. If I can give it no stars I would

  163. If I could give this hospital 0 stars, I WOULD. My father is a HIGH RISK patient and had a scheduled heart procedure. There was not a single phone call placed to confirm with myself or my father for the procedure, no instructions were given …

  164. If I could rate this hospital’s ER/Triage a zero or -10, I would. I among others who were transported in an ambulance, but deemed not an emergency upon arrival were sent to the Triage Unit. I have extreme abdominal pain (possible …

  165. Went there at 1:30pm or so for a severe painful ear infection, got checked in and waited an hour for them to do a small test in the lobby such as for weight, blood pressure, etc. Then waited 4 hours until 6:30 for a room to open up, which …

  166. My daughter was hospitalized last week and staff from ER were really helpful. They made me feel safe that my child is in great hands. The children area is great they had someone come to her room and sing to her and had her make slime. All …

  167. The medical staff is amazing! The entire team I met when I had spinal surgery was extremely thorough, professional and caring, which makes all the difference when you’re scared before and right after a serious procedure. The care was commensurate with the hospital’s values that are posted throughout the premises.

  168. The nurses at this hospital are phenomenal. My 64 year old father broke his shoulder and he needed surgery. The nurse even let me see my dad for five minutes after his surgery and they didn’t have to do that because there’s no visitors due …

  169. I really don’t know where to begin with this review. My husband was sent to the hospital because he has mental issues that I don’t want to go too deep into. Within less than a day of him being in the hospital I received a call telling me he …

  170. If I could give this hospital a Zero I would. On March 20th I took my son who is Diabetuc type 1 to the ER Department. I explained to the registration personnel about his condition and that he was vomiting uncontrollably. He was lethargic …

  171. Hospital bed is really bad with more depth and ups. Person admitted for delivery suffered more pain due to this. Patient relationship was not helpful on bed and room. Room and service by nurse was also not good, except one or two nurses. We …

  172. GO SOME WHERE ELSE
    Unless you want to die and b disrespected
    I called for medical attention. Person answering the phone was disrespectful and denied me medical attention. Called ambulance to go else where.

  173. I’ve only been back to this hospital for my mother and it took five hours to get any test results I’ve seen four interns before a real doctor showed up! And I’m still waiting!

  174. I don’t like this hospital for adults but I sure do love it for children special thanks to the PICU nurses for the most warming share for me n my baby girl they went above and beyond to make us comfortable and get her better each nurse each night did an amazing job Sarai has been so loved and so taken care of thank you guys so much 🙏🏻 …

  175. Staff has poor patient skills. Need to learn to be compassionate. People get jobs just to have jobs. Nurses need to be more compassionate and help disabled patients. I went in with fractured foot pain. One nurse named Shelly didn’t even …

  176. This hospital is constantly just getting worse, I was in the emergency department this morning and it was by far one of the worse experiences, most if not all of the staff have the biggest attitudes with patients and do not show any kind of …

  177. Utterly disgusting and unprofessional hospital staff. Administration is rude and nurses are absolutely impolite and unprofessional. They need to learn some manners and customer service before starting work. Emergency room is a nightmare. …

  180. If i could give the pediatric ER a zero, i would. They simply don’t care about sick babies or families at St. Joseph’s. We brought our baby there a few nights ago and left after 4 hours of sitting in a filthy, uncomfortable waiting room …

  182. Worse place to be, LACK MEDICAL ATTENTION TO PATIENTS AND THE BIGGEST LIARS, best in Neglecting the patients in which my Mom developed bed sore from the second day then all the way to stage 4 with no medical care, Among other things, remember all their promises are misleading and pure lies

  183. AWFUL SAVE YOUR LIFE AND DONT GO HERE PLEASE. Awful treatment of my mom and so careless forget about manners they treat their patients like animals and very discriminative didn’t feed my mom who was already very ill and hungry by dinner time

  188. The emergency room (doctor and especially the nurses) are disgusting and rude. They didn’t even check up on my mom who has been in pain for 12 hours straight.

  190. If you are going through a life threatening situation go to a different hospital, you can be dying and they’ll have you waiting in the emergency room for 5 hours +! I have lost 3 loved ones at this hospital with no explanation.

  203. If I could give this less stars I would. We were in the pediatric waiting room for hours. Kids were throwing up, crying, broken bones, Covid. No one being attended to. People coming in from the ambulance just to sit in a waiting room. Very sad that this is the kind of service this hospital has. Negative stars!
