  2. I dont know how I’m supposed to feel about this hospital, particularly the Cancer building.. my mom was diagnosed with cancer the 3rd time by a UMass Dr, that same doctor delivered the news to her that they would b stopping all cancer …

  3. Former employee….travelers beware; they push this whole good place to give and receive care but it couldn’t be further from the truth for both. 5E was a junky cluttered and dirty unit that was inadequately ran.

  4. They sometimes keep appointments, and bully clients into procedures that are unnecessary, then over-charge because they have a monopoly.

  5. This place sucks. Waited 5 hours to be checked in and 45 mins for a doctor to show up to the room. Worst hospital I’ve been too. I don’t recommend it

  7. Nurse Pat in the Cardiac cath unit has been so caring and responsible that when my dad is recovering from his pacemaker implantation she thought of giving a sling to help my dad relieve the pain from surgery.

  8. This has been by far the nicest visit to a hospital everyone was very nice and attentive no short cuts every test was run at least twice or thrice and each person I dealt with was sincere and as helpful as they could be

  9. Helped our sick child, thank you! I am forever indebted to the Pediatric Attendings, RNs, residents and team there, especially Dr. Tyrrell and Dr. Hermos. They were great!

  10. Terrible Terrible. If you are in Worcester and you have the choice go to Saint Vincent’s! This is a teaching hospital and it often shows. Avoid!

  29. We are absolutely DISGUSTED with UMASS MEMORIAL for Firing 200 nurses and doctors over the vaccine! Last years heroes are now discarded. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves!

  34. Probably a super great idea to have your staff brush up on your anti-discrimination policies and send some people for further training. 🙂 Maybe yearly, maybe monthly, probably daily. Just, y’know. However much it takes for those policies to stick and for your nurses to learn to treat patients with manners and respect.

  35. Came to ER for laceration on the tip of my left thumb. Was checked in quickly and placed in a room. Saw a resident and another physician within first 30 minutes. After that waited over 3hrs just to get a few stitches. Resident popped his …

  36. I really like the hospital but having the lung dept on level A its a long walk for people who can still walk on oxygen. There should not be only one little bench to sit you should have more for people who might have to sit and take a break. …

  43. Seriously. The worst care I’ve ever experienced. Doctors seemed confused, caring minimally for my sons pain. 3 months later even the billing department stinks. The PICU, food and nurses were great. But still wish to god I’d taken my child somewhere else- we will never step foot here again.

  44. I came to UMASS Hospital after spending Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend in the ER at Leominster Hospital where blood tests “indicated I had a blood clot” so they gave me a shot of blood thinner and discharged me because they didn’t …

  49. This is the worst ER I have ever been too. My girlfriend couldn’t walk due to massive pain in her legs and was on the verge of passing out and crying. We waited in the damn waiting room for 5 hours… 5 HOURS people before us even longer. …

  50. Sandra Dasilva went above and beyond to help me today with my insurance . It is so nice to talk with someone who was extremely professional as well as kind .
    Happy new year 2022!

  51. Public restrooms are not maintained. Every restroom I tried to use on the third floor was missing soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. No wonder they have such a germ problem in this hospital! The medical teams and support staff are …

  54. Waited 6 hours in a chair with abdominal pain, left, drove to Harrington and got treated quickly. From what I have observed with other people, the staff would rather have protracted arguments with desperate people than take 2 minutes to understand their concerns.

  55. Had a brain tumor removed here. Everything was great until post surgery. No one will call you back in the neuro surgeons office. Made multiple calls and I am still waiting to speak to a doctor. Was referred to neurology and am still waiting …

  56. Longest wait at the ER. Been here 9 hours and haven’t even been to triage yet. I asked how long and all they could say was “hours”. I’ve been here 9 already and did nothing but give my name. Seems like umass gets worse every time I come. …

  57. That hospital makes me so upset, my brother tries to see his doctor because of coughing and tightness of chest. He gets the run around from the nurse of his PCP. He needs to be diagnosed but they’re so paranoid of “covid” but there are things than covid that it could Bronchitis or chest congestion who knows.

  58. Brought my wife to this place as she was experiencing excruciating abdominal pain but left with a worst headache. Actually, first took wife to Carewell urgent care in North borough (bad experience there as well with the wait and nurse’s …

  61. Husband’s liver transplant has been a huge success. I cannot say enough good things about the transplant clinic and the ICU team. There were concerns when he was transferred to a regular floor. His follow-up care has been fantastic!

  62. If I could give the ER department zero stars, I would. Waited over 3.5 hours to be seen before leaving. There were only 2 people in the waiting room when I arrived. I witnessed numerous people who arrived after I did leave without receiving any medical treatment. If you actually have a medical emergency DO NOT go here.

  68. After a diagnosis over 4 years ago and being seen by a specialist my daughter sat for over 5hrs vomiting and with chest pain. While being approached by a drunk man she was placed in a waiting room with because they assumed she smoked pot …

  69. If you have to call 911 to help you because hospital staff is abusing your son, with disabilities, rights. Then it’s safe to say that’s a horrible place to go. Years ago this was a great place and 20 years later I’d never set foot in here …

  70. when i was there it took about an hour to get into a room and then another 2 hours to even see anymore (not even a nurse). the entire time i was there i talked to a doctor once and it was before I was even admitted.

I know there short staffed but this is a hospital! Bathrooms are so dirty I couldn’t even use them! I am more sick than I was when I first came in!

  73. Horrible staff attitude, especially with one of the nurses doing blood work. I asked what specific tests I’m getting (like the name and details) and she said she doesn’t know which is which. I want to make sure what tests I’m getting as I …

  74. I’ve had the same PCP (Dr George Eypper) at UMMC University campus, for years, he’s fantastic! I guess people are down voting because they have had to wait in the ED. This is one of the few truama hospitals, locally. So if you have to wait …

  75. I’ve left a review of UMass before – great review for their ICU team, but not for their “regular” floor team. This time, I had to go in for an endoscopic ultrasound in the surgery department. Everyone was great, from the receptionists, to …

  76. I have had to interact with multiple staff over the last few weeks by message in myChart, on the phone, in on site medical assessments/appointments, and in diagnostic testing in radiology. Every interaction was outstanding. People were …

Guess it depends on what nurse you get… Thank you for your compassion and understanding UMass. He is a veteran and I guess nothing is sacred anymore…

  81. Not sure why so many negative reviews. Come on people ER is always like that you have to wait if you are neither of those yellow red categories(conditions that imminent life threatening). I was even more pleased compared to previous country …

  83. The specialists in Cardiology, infectious disease, Nuerology, gastrointestinal, and the spine clinic are all very knowledgeable but care is very fragmented. There is no communication between different care teams or an effort to address the …

  88. I want to say that the Med Assistants or PCAs in the lab in the ACC building are mad rude.

I have no appointment in this building soon and if I come across this person again and she rude to me, I’m reporting her.

  89. I’d like to take the time to comment about the poor customer service, specifically from David Fitzpatrick who was at the information desk. This man is hands down the most miserable person I have ever spoken to. Guy was mistreating and …
