SwedishAmerican Health System Reviews ( 250 )

  1. This place has terrible doctors terrible nurses the only thing good in the ER here are the counselors ER Staff are terrible doctors and nurses not sure there care about there patience

  2. The worst service ever.. Been waiting for almost 5 hours.. A lot of people have left and getting mad for the long waiting hours.. When ask how long do I have to wait, they reply with it a busy night. If you come here, it’ll be a waste of time.

  3. If you WANT TO DIE THEN I WOULD SAY GO TO THEIR E.R. THEY TREAT EVERY PATIENT AS A DRUG ADDICT. MY MOTHER WENT IN WITH A COPD EXERBATION AND DR LIN SLAMMED THE DOOR AND TOLD HER SHE WOULD DO THINGS HIS WAY AND IF SHE DIDNT LIKE IT SHE COULD …

  4. Customer service on the phone was not helpful. Denise, who I talked to, was rude and displayed no desire to help me with the situation. Have tried calling twice today and she blew me off both times.

  5. This is the worst ER I have ever seen. Brought my wife here with chest pains and have been here 2 hours now and she hasn’t seen a Doctor and they won’t let me in to see her!

  6. Young black guy with fro white woman emergency room very rude had my mother sleeping in a hall way who has heart failure and more health problems barking up a lawsuit

  7. This is by far one of the worst and unprofessional hospitals I’ve ever gone to. I came in by ambulance for heart palpitations and they just had me waiting and you would think they’d place me on a heart monitor while I’m waiting because of my family’s history but noooo!!!

  8. I was brought in by ambulance for a possible ectopic pregnancy and sat for almost 8 hours to never been seen go to a real hospital these people suck and don’t care about you at all

  9. This is the worst hospital in the world. Everyone is rude. Sitting in the waiting room with my wife for over 2 hours with chest pains and a gall bladder about to explode and they don’t care.

  10. 2 hours to get 2 stitches so far …..The nurse came to numb then left without numbing …one came to clean after …is wasnt numbed … still no doctor for 2 stitches

  11. have a broken rib, was not even addressed by the doctor. was told after asking for pain relief that there would be no pain meds and to find another doctor.

  12. Don’t waste your time trying to get a doctor to certify for medical cannabis. Now I have a family member with cancer who can’t access natural medicine because of ignorant and misinformed for medical professionals. People will look for QUALITY HEALTHCARE elsewhere and we already have.

  13. They treated my mother in law horribly. She was crying to come home, the nurses would roll their eyes anytime she needed assistance going to the bathroom. STAY AWAY

  14. Wait 5 hours and still dont get help..dont waste your time ..there are much much better hostipals 8n rockford then this dump and then tjey recommend aunt marthas which is the biggest joke of all…never again you would probably die in their waiting room

  15. My doctor moved his practice to SAH. I called to get directions to his new office site and had to wait over 5 minutes on the line in order to get live voice and then get directions. I’m not impressed with todays tech. services.

  16. Extremely rude staff. Trash talking patients non stop, dragging feet don’t really care if you see them trash talking and mocking your concerns. They should find a new profession because it’s totally bs.

  17. Listen I’m not kidding you when I say that this hospital is the dirtiest and most unprofessional hospital in Rockford hand’s down. Im literally dumbstruck on how this place is still open, from the trashy staff to the idiot doctors. Do …

  18. Although our care was outstanding and the facilities were great…I have to say there lack of protocol was unforgiveable…. my wife and I had our 2nd child there on the 3rd they were to keep her plesenta for us to capsulete it at a later …

  19. Dr. Thappa and dr. Bopanni dont know what they’re doing and are never on the same page with one another. They also dont know how to communicate with families. Awful.

  20. Tried to transition my son from inpatient care in Chicago to their PHP program for behavioral health. They have extremely poor communication. Unreturned messages, emails, and even broken promises to call back. I don’t understand how they can dismiss families looking for help like that.

  21. I’ve never, but maybe once, have had a bad experience here with the er. Possibly due to the fact I only come in when it’s a true emergency with my heart problems. Also during a pregnancy they rolled me up to the pregnancy floor asap. OSF… I’ll never go back there again.

  22. Their emergency department is garbage. You get semi-adequate care if you can ever get seen… Been in the waiting room for 3 hours and counting. The ONLY good thing is the wi-fi. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

  23. Was in a car accident. They took x-rays and kicked me out with glass all over in my skin. Never cleaned any wounds. Still in so much pain. Still trying to pull glass out. Terrible experience.

  24. Nothing like watching employees of the hospital take the front two rows of parking in a parking lot marked patient/ visitor. You would think there would be a common courtesy for your patients/ visitors!

  25. I was in the ER with a physician who literally stomped his foot on ŕ ground and a “nurse” who m with unsightly dyed red hair who began fighting with me.
    I was refused a nebulizer treatment and instead insulted and discriminated …

  26. Have had nothing but a run around for procedure costs. Billing takes care of (transparent) charge master info…but takes multiple calls to provider and billing departments, even though same Swedes system. Routinely given wrong codes for procedures-also just an estimate.

  27. There was no one at this hospital 1 hour ago yet still my wife hasn’t been seen this is unacceptable they treat there patients with little to no care what so ever now it’s getting packed yet here we sit in the emergency area to wait very unprofessional very lazy staff

  28. Was at the Swedish American clinic and hospital for my cousin’s pregnancy and childbirth. Good hospital with very helpful and approachable staff at obstetrician and gynaecology department. Doctor Brandis is very efficient, supportive and …

  29. Worst place for mental health care around. I’ve seen them treat people worse than rabid animals. It’s awful. They also ignore ADA requirements and patient rights. They will 100% ignore any physical issues, even upon admission. Go to RMH. Avoid entirely.

  30. My dad had bypass surgery here last week. Thank you to the medical team who took care of him so well. Thank you to the super helpful cashier in the cafeteria and to those guys that gave us directions. Swedish American rocks! Thanks. 🙂

  31. With frightening news, apparently no hurry on health or care!! Called several times today to schedule a CT SCAn, and NO answaer yet! Have to wait for protocol! Really!

  32. My wife came into Swedes by ambulance as she started bleeding and was not quite sure where it came from. At the er I cannot even remember the doctor even touching me but decideing to check me into the hospital. They did a lot of paperwork …

  33. I been here back and forth first time I sat for 6 hours then came back the second time now I been sitting here for 5 hours in pain can’t sit down or nothing they rude and basically don’t care that the patients are in pain they need to close this hospital down

  34. My family has been at some of the most prestigious hospitals in the U.S. and all of them in Rockford. We have received the best care here. By far the best nursing care in the world. This is coming from a fellow nurse.

  35. Let a heavily medicated person walk right out of the ER. Nurse just watched. Unacceptable. She was literally stumbling and walking sideways as she was in the ER waiting area. I know this place can be hectic, but the nurse, or nurses in …

  36. My father was diagnosed with congested heart failure and had to stay about a month at the heart hospital. The hospital has some of the greatest equipment and technology in place along with a very professional staff that provided the utmost care to my dad, and for that I am very thankful and highly recommend this medical facility.

  37. Great staff and excellent care. My son fractured his wrist during a basketball tournament and I cant keep saying how great our stay here was. Staff went above and beyond for him and for that I’ll be forever grateful.

  38. In all of my 55 years I have never seen a hospital where you have to wait sooooo long to see a Dr. Even now, I have 7 out of 10 scale pain in my knee and can’t even see my GP for over a week. And then God knows how long for an orthopedic …

  39. This place SUCKS. My father checked himself out of hospice to come here and in the ER, we never saw a nurse, just a PA who had him admitted, but no one to check and see how he was doing. Then he got admitted and the nursing care was good at …

  40. Turn around as quick as you can! Sadly my mother was brought to this Hospital Emergency Room and passed away with what we were told “Septic Shock” – From the time she was brought in, diagnosed, and taken care of our heads were spinning. No …

  41. I decided to give Swedish emergency department a try since my husband thinks so highly of them but I am so disappointed they do not take pregnant women having stomach pain and back lower pain serious or priority. They rather take people …

  42. I recently had my son at Swedish American and all of the staff was amazing. I never had a bad nurse taking care of me or my son when he was in the NICU. Everyone was encouraging and so helpful to us as new parents

  43. One of the absolute worst hospitals I’ve ever been to. Went in with pains and they said there was nothing wrong, waited a couple days went back, and was treated for a minor uti. The pain was getting excruciating so decided to get a second …

  44. The Moms had a fall resulting in both hips fractured. She was admitted and due to her age was brought to the 4th floor ‘heart hospital’ for monitoring and OT/PT before being transferred to a longer term physical therapy/rehab hospital. This …

  45. Overall nursing staff was fabulous. Key word being overall. However, Dr.Ghani is a hospitalist, his bedside manner is HORRIBLE, he NEVER asked me questions regarding how I was feeling or what I felt was wrong, despite the fact that I was …

  46. I have received medical care from Swedes for many years. Family doctor, specialists, surgery, out-patient, in-patient. I’ve received wonderful care and courtesy everywhere, and my outcomes are really good. Collaboration with the Mayo Clinic has also been smooth.

  47. Don’t lose a loved one in the Emergency Room. You will be put in a disgusting room and then be told someone will be with you in a minute. 20 minutes later after you complain and want to know what is going on, you are told they are …

  48. Worst hospital. They have this big sign on the building “top 100 in the nation” which makes you think you can trust them but please don’t fall for that load of bull false advertisement. They have gotten cocky with that banner and have been …

  49. I had the worst experience ever at this hospital if you truly love your family or friends I would keep them as far away from this hospital as possible. They are careless there ambulance staff are very rude an judgemental they really made me …

  50. Never get lab work done at swedes. They will have a fake company send you bills in addition to your swedes bill that they make you jump through hurdles with your insurance to get covered because its double billing. Even their customer service advises you to go somewhere else. Such a scam.

  51. Helpful staff, free valet parking and now a small museum on the first floor. The emergency room provided good care when I had to get Staples from a fall on the ice. Not fun but they saw me right away.

  52. You can’t make an appointment with any of their providers lately. No one ever answers the phone. I’ve tried 2 different locations for the type of provider I need for 2 days now. Each time I call I’m waiting for half an hour and that’s when I finally give up.

  53. I just called today (07/30/2019) to ask them where is the Billing Dept at. The first phone called I was hung up on time 1;24 minutes the 2nd phone called was the same recording no one answer that one either time was 2;45 minutes. If your …

  54. Worse hospital I have ever been to. My son had a seizure and immediately took him to this hospital. We waited at least 3 minutes with my son limped in my arms while the verified our insurance. Then did blood work and said everything was …

  55. One year old daughter came in with rashes, stomach pain, and diarrhea and we sat here for over two hours waiting for her to be seen and nothing. We ended up leaving because she wouldnt stop screaming and nothing was being done

  56. If you value your life and need actual medical attention do not come to this outrageous facility. My mom has severe progressive Multiple Sclerosis and was having a flare up. We waited 4 hours before being seen, they took us back, did blood …

  57. Dr. Aaron his bedside manner way worse I told him I am a she a woman not a he referred me to as a he not a she! I got into an argument since he refused to do his job by allowing my wife to get medicine he said high blood pressure my wife …

  58. Went there for a small bowel obstruction, all my medications were taken away, ended up staying for 9 days, when my head finally started hurting a house doctor said how long has your blood pressure been out of control, I said not since 1984, …

  59. Bad experience ! I’ve been here multiple times, and each time they don’t seem to get better. First the bed sheets were stained , as In fresh stains but INSISTED that they did clean the sheets and put “new” ones. Asked for a new sheet but …

  60. They held me 23 days against my will in the 4th floor (psychiatric unit.) I am a 20 year old, educated, well manored, and well behaved individual…not crazy. They insisted that I needed further evaluation the whole time, and said that if I …

  61. We decided to use Swedes when we found out we were pregnant and we are glad we did. Our nurses Michelle and Jordan did an excellent job in making sure that my fiance had everything she needed during labor and delivery and kept her going. …

  62. I call my meds in and never get them on time it takes ,7 days to fax a piece of paper over for meds that I really need but they don’t care bad experience with doctor appointment sending me to places I don’t need to go I’ll be finding a new hospital to go to doctor put a paycheck before patient

  63. When you’re throwing up in a bag in the nurse tells you he needs you to put a mask because he he doesn’t want to catch the invisible virus even though you’re exempt there’s puke coming out of your mouth it’s time for him to look for another …

  64. The emergency room is not safe and staff don’t care. The last time I was there will be the last. I had to wait even though my doctor sent me there due to needing to rule out blood clots which I’ve had in the past. In the waiting room a …

  65. I’ve had to use the er once already this year and my family has used surgery services here at Swedes three times already. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. We got good care in the er, Surgicare, and just all around with the nurses, doctors, …

  66. I have always received fine, caring service here, especially from the nurses and CT and MRI people. My only objection, and it’s a BIG one, is the fact that they employ hospitalists. When I am ill and hospitalized, the last thing I …

  67. Prompt service and very professional . I came in with dislocated shoulder so much pain. I came in from another hospital with terrible service. Thank you so much. Er staff was wonderful and eased my pain thank you. Only hospital I will ever go.

  68. I would give a zero if I could. My son was hurt in an accident several months ago. We came to emergency room at Swedish with a tooth hanging and lacerations that needed stitches on his face. I arrived an hour after my family had gotten to …

  69. Every time I’ve had the bad idea of going to Swedish American I’ve had bad experiences. I was in there for over 2 hours this time waiting to see a doctor for chest pains, light headed, and shortness of breath. I didn’t get to see a doctor …

  70. Waiting room was only half full and wait wasn’t too long. Did tests that my doctor wouldn’t do. Found out i had inverted bowl syndrome and had to have emergency surgery. 12 hours from being unable to retain any fluids which would have killed me. No thanks to UIC, i am thankfully still alive and now well.

  71. As much as I loved my obgyn, I had the WORST experience in the NICU for my newborn. The day shift nurses down there were absolutely rude and didn’t make you feel any sort of comfort that they will tend to your baby when you aren’t there. …

  72. Took my wife to the ER after calling our Dr. Our Dr said he thought she was having an allergic reaction to an antibiotic he gave her. When I got to the ER the intake nurse said our Dr was wrong that she had the flu “like the rest of the …

  73. I’ve read the other reviews, and have to concur with the majority – Google reviews really needs a zero or negative star option. Upon arriving, I was admitted to a dirty room and put into a bed that was not cleaned. It’s pleather – just …

  74. This ER is not the place to go for mental health (or anything else if you can help it). With the exception of a few kind nurses who bother to make you feel like your health matters, most ER employees I’ve interacted with here do not have …

  75. The Emergency Room would get zero stars if I could rate it that. Their customer service is absolutely poor and the people behind the bullet resistant glass need some serious customer service training. They were treating everyone poorly. …

  76. Is there a zero star button? Seriously this place is a zoo. People leaving to go to another hospital, people begging to be seen, and they did not rush to get my mother in when she was so weak she couldn’t stand her blood sugar levels were …

  77. Honestly don’t use this hospital system unless you want poor Healthcare. Swedish American isn’t what it was years ago. Not only did one of their doctor’s allow my mother to sit with abnormal labs for 2 years not looked into but they treated …

  78. Very horrible no proper care drs and nurses were so rude and arrogant i wouldnt recommened this hospital to anyone its best to seek medical attention else where because they do not treat african americans riggt at all

  79. The skill of the staff was amazing. The nurse got my I.v. started on the very first try. Everybody was friendly and answered all of my questions. The doctor truly seemed to care about me and by that I mean that he took the time to talk to me and didn’t rush off. The service was great and they made sure that I was comfortable.

  80. Very very great hospital great staff I’ve just personally had some bad experiences that’s why I didn’t give a five stars but I think most would say they just serve the five stars that they got but they have to earn that last star with me …

  81. We brought my 81 yr old father in who has had diarrhea for the past 3 to 4 weeks he was dehydrated so they started IV fluids and ran a few labs after several hours NEVER saw a doctor they released him to go home. I don’t live in this area, …

  82. Actually it should be negative 5 stars. My wife was brought here by ambulance, when I got here the “lady” behind the bulletproof glass in the emergency room, buzzed me right in. As family arrived, there were 6 people in the room, we stepped …

  83. Had a bad experience with labor and delivery. They had one doctor on call and 13 other women including me were having babies. Felt like no one was checkin in on me, was in labor for almost 24 hours and ended up needing a csection. I was …

  84. Have had a family member in CCU and the staff are amazing. Love the large rooms. Care has been exceptional. All the hospital staff have been great from desk to cafe the Critical Care Unit. Lots of public spaces and private meeting …

  85. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST HOSPITAL TO HAVE A BABY AT!!!!!! THEY FALSIFIED MEDICAL DOCUMENTS OF MY SON WHILE HE WAS IN THE NICU. THEY BROKE HIPAA MULTIPLE TIMES. THE NURSES GOSSIP 24/7. THE NICU NURSES ALSO HAD A STRANGE OBSESSION WITH MY …

  86. My 30-yr old son was told that he needed a pacemaker by cardiologist at Swedes who was here temporarily from Pittsburgh. He son agrees to get one. A different cardiologist does the procedure. When we go for a follow-up appointment, we’re …

  87. Horrible experience my mother is 80yrs old poor health received blood and antibiotics and potassium and was discharged same day received all of these products family asked if they could keep her until next morning hospital care said NO she …

  88. If you get covid and want to live, find a place that will treat you with anything that will work, not that which has a higher death rate. This hospital is sworn to ONLY use what the CDC recommends, not things other doctors have found to actually work to save lives.

  89. I was brought to the ER at 8pm. They released me about 2 am. Dan wheeled me outside, pushed me to the curb & before my wife could go get our truck he says ” perhaps we can meet on better terms next time” then walked away leaving me there. …

  90. Had total hip replacement on 08/01/2019. The operation went great. Post opp overnight; excellent doctors, excellent nurses, excellent room service staff, and tasty food. My mother stayed in the room with me on a provided cot. The ratings made me nervous at first! But overall nice, comfortable experience.

  91. The ER Physician’s charges are outsourced to Sound Physicians Emergency claiming that you owe outlandish charges claiming that your insurance denied claims that they’ve already paid charges on or haven’t received the claim properly. DO NOT PAY until you’re certain the remaining charges are truly your responsibility.

  92. They treated my wife like she was a burden!!!! Unbelievable disrespect from the nurses on floor 10. They would roll their eyes at my wife and huff and puff every other second. Disgusting. There was a few nice nurses don’t get me wrong…but …

  93. Your hospital is the most inappropriate unprofessional place i have ever been to. If I could give negative stars I would. Please retrain your doctors to be up front and not lie to people…and please update them on the word empathy and …

  94. Just had surgery at Swedish American. I cannot say enough about how well the staff has been! I even got a complimentary massage, to help relax, before surgery and it was AWESOME!! All 3 nurses that I had were AMAZING!! Erica in surgicare, …

  95. Was in the e.r. yesterday with my youngest daughter who is experiencing facial tick’s, hand and finger tick’s..uncontrollable..they took blood and did NOTHING!!! When her Dr. called for blood work results there was NOTHING to get!!! …

  96. Came here by ambulance yesterday. Was sat in a wheelchair in the hallway for over an hour in pain. Used as a pin cushion because they didn’t want to access my port. After 6 tries they finally did. The worst service,hospital I’ve been to. Wouldn’t recommend to ANYONE.

  97. I brought my mother to the ER on Monday afternoon. The waiting room was packed at that time, so I knew it would be a long wait. The staff were, for the most part, extremely polite and apologetic. They rate an A. We were in the waiting area …

  98. Had to go to the ER last month and had dr shareef, completely misdiagnosed what the issue was. Here I am a month later and went to mercy health and find out that sweds was wrong this whole time. Definitely staying with mercy health from now on.

  99. My father passed away there and a week later my brother ended up there. They put my brother 25 ft away from where my dad died . Then they moved my brother to the same floor 5 rooms away from where my dad actually blue coded!! No fricken …

  100. The worst experience I’ve ever had in a hospital. DO NOT go to this hospital! Under staffed, improper care, and no consideration for the patients. You will be placed in a room with 7 other people regardless of health condition.

  101. I was seen in the ED. I came in thinking I was having a miscarriage. I did have to wait for about 10 min, but they put me in a wheelchair and checked on me every minute or two. I understand that they did not have a room for me, which is why …

  102. Had to give a shout out to my Nurse Diane in the Progressive Care Unit. This is April from room 301!! You made my first time at Sweedish American manageable. You’re the best nurse I’ve ever had hands down. You deserve to be recognized for …

  103. PLEASE BE AWARE! This facility is not honest about their pricing. This is an absolute true occurrence. Had a mammogram done at the Women’s center and was given an estimate for $44. This is obtained through the myswedes.chart. It gives …

  104. Very poor emergency room conditions. Security agent Ken was not wearing a mask, nor the receptionist that checked us in. It was very dirty, and didn’t seem to follow social distancing rules. I didn’t get the female receptionist name but …

  105. I realize that most healthcare providers probably struggle with burnout and compassion fatigue, so lack of empathy would be more understandable if proper medical care was given, but it isn’t. All patients are lumped under the giant umbrella …

  106. I was admitted to the Pediatric Mental Health side about a year and a half ago, definitely would recommend. They keep you busy doing things so you don’t have a lot of time to think about the outside world. They work on coping strategies …

  107. The two stars is somewhat misleading. My first experience of the three that I’ve gone was probably the only one that was a good experience. The staff was friendly, the nights were quiet, and as long as you don’t mind being poked and prodded …

  108. The Emergency Room experience I had was awful. I came in 23 weeks pregnant and having sever hip pain (contractions I am.a FTM) and they made me wait in the waiting room for 5 hours before being seen then once I was sent me striaght to labor …

  109. This place is so understaffed. I was so confusionon where the emergency room was because of the number of buildings on the campus. New buildings mixed with old buildings makes the place look tacky.

  110. I recently had surgery there. the staff was incredibly professional and very pleasant to be around. My nurse Sarah on the seventh floor was constantly calling the Dr and making sure i was comfortable after my surgery. dr sadowski did my …

  111. My brother is mentally Ill (schizophrenic) and struggles with addiction and once again he’s been released after needing help he was literally admitted late last night and was released early this morning he walked home in nothing but a …

  112. I don’t care the circumstances someone shouldn’t have to wait 6+ hours to see a doctor at an emergency room. It’s an emergency room for a reason. And to prioritize people based on illness? I’ve seen people come in after me and walk out …

  113. Came in around 3:00 pm. It’s 5:45pm and I still haven’t been seen. But the most disturbing experience is to listen to each person come up to the lobby check in window and tell what’s wrong with them. Looking at them as they try and whisper …

  114. Had a trip to ER for our son this am! DR. HERMAN, CASSIE, SPENCER were so good to us today! Very caring and personable and willing to explain things to my 7 yr old and reassure him and us parents. There are still kind people out there!! We were blessed by their care!

  115. March 6th around 8pm my father who is 71 years old was brought into the ER by ambulance. He was weak in the legs, was having chest pains, slurring his speech, and was having breathing issues. He was put into the waiting room and sat there …

  116. If I could rate this hospital a zero, I would. Been waiting six hours to be treated Daughter is sick in the bathroom. Had to call the hospital because I’m in the parking lot unable to assist. Nurses did nothing. They allowed her to leave …

  117. 3 years ago, My mom was hospitalized at Swedes and it was an awful experience. Dr. Eunji Kwon does not like for patients or the patients adult children to ask questions about their health. My mom has lived with me close to 14 years and I …

  118. I had the unfortunate experience of needing to take my son to their ER yesterday. In total we were there 7.5 hours… 4 hours just waiting to be seen… this alone in not reason enough to warrant a bad review, especially during a pandemic …

  119. Seems like they don’t care about their patients my apt for a heart doctor been cancelled three times been trying since February why should I make one when all they do is cancel I guess I need to have another heart attack

  120. Worst hospital in Rockford all the staff is rude & not concerned about sick patients I was in the waiting room with hypoglycemia for 6 hours I started to get light headed and all they said was their is nothing they could do I left & went to st. Anthony’s! Do not waste your time coming here

  121. Have a crushed heal, have alot of pain. They ran my foot into a door, wouldn’t let me take my meds from surgery and left me sitting for 4 hours. I threatened to sue, and said I am leaving and then they want to help. Worst hospital in city. Always treat people like they are nothing.

  122. If you can avoid this place at all costs. Horrible horrible service no since of urgency at all. Hours and hours of waiting for simple in and out visit. This place is horrendous I highly recommend any and everyone go somewhere else unless …

  123. They do not care here. Hours and hours of waiting. They sent me home with no help. Told me to call my specialist and theres only one apparently in this city through swedes.

  124. I have never been to an ER that doesn’t know what the other one is doing. Brought in by ambulance from an accident. Driver shared all the information. Sat in a wheelchair for about 15 minutes. When I was taken in just to check my vitals I …

  125. If I could Gove them a negotiate 5 stars I would. I went to the emergency room here with a medical problem that I’ve had to deal with for 30+ years just to have the registered nurse, Christina 12374 MS tell me she felt that I was faking it …

  126. Was in the hospital 2 days last week. First day took 7 hours to get in a room, 9&1/2 hours total. Second day took 9 hours to get a room, and 10 hours total. Were unable to help me and pretty much told me not to come back, even though I have …

  127. It’s truly sad that my grandmother is in the hospital and I have been up there all day!!! Yet I can’t stay in the hospital over night because of Covid. But my sister was at osf and was able to have one person stay… we have no answers and I …

  128. My emergency room experience everytime has been disturbing and even traumatic to say the least. The Nursing staff and at least one physician I’ve encountered show very little professionalism or compassion for the patients and I’ve witness …

  129. On Tuesday, May 31st 2022, I was looking for my family member, that was here at this hospital and they couldn’t find her. So I tried her cell phone number, and she didn’t answer. Then, I called the hospital back again, and the operator …

  130. One of the worst hospitals in Rockford. ALWAYS forever to get in. For example : today I was having a major difficulty breathing, I have asthma, and no I do not have my inhaler because it ran out. Guess what? I’m still sitting here. From …

  131. My son was sent to the ER with confirmed RSV, he is 1 year old. It’s been over 4 hours and we are still waiting. I could have taken him in towards Chicago in less time and next time I probably will.

  132. 220 to consult with surgeon, another 220 for what they say going into their facility. Must not be able to afford rent. Besides dr was fake, unprofessional. Dr walked in unshaven ignorant and a crumbled piece of paper to write notes. I’ll advise using them!

  133. To all the Day/PM ED staff from Th. 9/1/22, thank you, you are appreciated. You all definitely deserve 5-stars & more. Your hard work is appreciated by this fellow HCW. Thank you for your sincere caring treatment.

  134. The ER here is horrible!! My Father was brought in by Ambulance for trouble breathing, he has COPD. He was put in a Internal waiting room in a recliner & was being monitored until they had a private room available. Two hours later still …

  135. My Doctor sent me to the hospital because I have heavy edema, along with heart issues and possibly pneumonia. My X-rays and blood work showed more heart issues. The hospital was rude, invited me to leave and made me feel very unwelcome. …

  136. If I could give it zero stars I would. This hospital is dirty and the staff is lazy. Make sure you check your insurance statement so they don’t try to get paid for services not provided.

  137. Was there today in the ER. Every person that cared for me was amazing. ER was slammed and all the staff was still super friendly and treated me like I was the most important person there.

  138. Must husband was sent there from immediate care, told he may have a life threatening issue and needed further tests done so he needed to go to ER right away.
    Got there, they took labs twice, did ultra sound then sent him back to waiting …

  139. If you want to die, come here. Wait over 4.5 hrs with a staff that literally kicks out everyone that isn’t a patient to open up seats yet moves at the speed of a snail. I’d try Web MD before I ever came back. Single handedly the worst Hospital/ER I’ve been to in 40 years. 0/5

  140. Rockford GI took care of my husband during his hospital stay and I cannot say enough about the doctors with RGI, the APNs and the staff in the GI lab. Dr.Tannous and Dr.Pifer took care of my husband and the kindness, thoroughness and compassion they showed us both were remarkable. I would highly recommend Rockford GI to anyone.

  141. Sat in the ER for 7 hours waiting to be seen along with many others. Watched at least three other people leave in pain without being seen before I finally did. Hospital then sends my bill directly to collections without trying to contact me because they can’t get my insurance information correct. Worst medical and customer service.

  142. Lack of empathy generally at the hospital. Everyone is “following the rules” in that peculiar soulless way that lends itself to visions of a dystopian future where the staff are replaced by robots and none are the wiser. Maybe it’s still …

  143. I have had 2 terrible experiences in a row , both starting in Emergency room, once sitting in in treage for hours before even seeing or talking to anyone and I was in so much pain sitting in a very uncomfortable chair, my second experience …

  144. I was injured at the Tough Mudder event in Rockford today and although that was unfortunate I was quite pleased with the medical treatment I received at Swedish American. …

  145. I highly suggest going to any other hospital!! Just today my boyfriend went in with a hand injury due to a dog bite, and was there for nearly 3 hours. All they had him do was wash it and then did an x-ray, which just made his hand hurt …

  146. The ER had a ridiculous wait time and a rude reception staff. Once I was put in an ER treatment room the care was excellent.
    Spent multiple days under observation and the staff there was exemplary. …

  147. Within the last couple of years, service for established patients has definitely spiraled downwards. Nothing negative with any specific providers or support staff or with any facilities in general… but overall things seem to be broken in …

  148. Got hernia surgery at the beginning of this month and everything went smoothly EXCEPT I told the doctor preforming the surgery and the nurse to not prescribe me narcotics, I told them at my pre op, they literally put a wrist band on me that …

  149. I am not one to complain, but if a hospital could ever go out of business, this would be the one…especially in the ER..Several years ago, I was in the ER for difficulty breathing, insomnia and anxiety. I was in a room with just a bed and …

  150. Had a orchiectomy. The everyone was nice for the most part. After sugary, they did not let me wake up before I was toss out on the street. I was told I would get a support unit before sugary. After, when in the small room to wake up I did …

  151. They would not allow me to be in the room for my first born son’s birth. Then yesterday morning I was in the ER with chest pain and threw up a little blood (I have a heart disability) and they made me sit in the lobby for about 30 minutes. …

  152. My daughter has her baby here.. I was with her.. The Dr’s and nurses could care less about her comfort, her epidural wasn’t helping, they sewed her lacerations without any anesthesia to the area even with her screaming, and then left the …

  153. I gave birth to my son 12/19/2022 and I had a nurse that helped with delivery that was phenomenal named Jake. He was very caring from the moment we came into the room to the moment we left. Not only did he provide a great service but his personality was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Jake!

  154. Health care is a ‘people’ business. Swedish American/U of W have excellent people. I even commented to my family doctor recently, Dr. T Ferry, how knowing how compassionate she is really helps me, as I know I can discuss any health issues …

  155. Horrible! Waited in hall and taken to a room got there about 12 and left about 5pm. I have a muscle disease and was in terrible pain. Couldn’t have my pain med or …

  156. Called paramedics for my boyfriend yesterday and he was treated awfully! He couldn’t sit up, stand, or walk on his own. They tried to say that they couldn’t bring a stretcher that is designed to handle the giant step in and out of the …

  157. My boyfriend and I waited 12 HOURS for him to get a CT scan for appendicitis. We were separated after 6 hours and security tried to kick out all non-patients. NO ONE received pain medication and staff were rude and unhelpful. The elderly …

  158. Because of my daughter’s rare condition, I have been to multiple hospitals and so far Sweds has been a very good hospital. The nurses are very patient and understanding and try their best to help the best way they can. I just wish …

  159. We have been using Sweds for many years as our go to in emergencies, as well as our doctors. The level of care in the office has been down tremendously, but this ER visit was ridiculous. The wait was extremely long however we understand …

  160. The pediatric unit is BEYOND phenomenal. My son has RSV and the nurses and doctors have treated us as family and taken top notch care of us during our 5 day stay. The compassion and love is felt and I couldn’t be anymore grateful for their …

  161. My wife had a procedure done here. All came out good. She advised that the nurses staff and the doctor she had were excellent. This visit and test was set up by our local physician, and she said that after her initial visit here,she highly …

  162. My wife came in with stroke symptoms. She was treated with respect. The medical team was amazing. The room was clean and safe. This is the best ER and hospital in the Nation.
