I just experienced my first root canal at Westerville Endodontics. Dr. Saadia Bukhari made the…read moreexperience as delightful as much as a root canal can be. She communicated what she was doing throughout the process and the procedure was relatively painless. I'm writing this almost 24 hours later and I feel very little discomfort. This is the first morning I woken up to in a long time without throbbing from that tooth. My insurance company can be difficult to work with. Outside of the procedure I can say the office kept me informed of their efforts with the pre-authorization and even managed to get me in earlier than my scheduled appointment. I cannot say enough great things about the staff and the treatment I received.

We were…read morethere to find out why a loved one could not eat food for a month and the first thing they wanted to do when he got admitted was to let him lay down to die and start giving him morphine. We then told them he's not in pain and he's not ready to lay down and die but Rather was there to try and get his appetite back. I could tell you story after story after story of this awful place but it would take me several pages.They do not sponge bathe you nor do they do any type of hygiene care you are on your own. They left our loved one lay in bed with his blue jeans on for four days until I changed him into sweats. Then after ten days told him he had to go home and die basically. Do yourself a favor you will get better care at home then here or pick a different hospital. It's a joke they only want your money.Take a look at their brand new building that we helped pay for but then kicked out of their to go die its in humane. All of it !!!!!

My experience with the James is based on what my family went through with my late paternal…read moregrandmother's treatment for melanoma. Mama received chemotherapy and radiation treatment from 2001-2006 before the disease ultimately took her life. The James has made great advances in cancer research and treatment over the years. They do many experimental treatments in addition to the tried-and-true methods. I know that Mama participated in at least one experimental treatment. Everyone knows early detection is everything. No one caught Mama's cancer until it was too late, and she had a form of melanoma that was horribly aggressive and very difficult to treat, but the team of doctors overseeing her care did everything they could to try to cure it. They were busy, yet they took the time to talk to everyone whenever Mama went in for treatment. They were supportive. The only thing they did that no one in the family was happy about was in regards to Mama's medications. Prior to her diagnosis, Mama was reasonably healthy for her age. All the same, her GP did have her on a couple medications (I'm guessing for her heart and something else). Her doctors didn't check her current prescriptions when they ordered new medications for her, and there was a pretty horrific interaction that landed Mama in the hospital and convinced us that she was going to die right then and there. The floors where the rooms are never cease to make me uneasy and panicky, but they're clean and well maintained. (That's really all I can say without having an anxiety attack.) Downstairs in the lobby, though, it's not as sterile-feeling. There's a gorgeous salt water aquarium and some fairly comfortable seats. Waiting while a family member is in surgery or receiving treatment is never enjoyable. It's been proven by numerous studies that aquariums have a relaxing effect on people, and having that aquarium helps patients and their families relax and it helps lower their blood pressure. Wi-fi is available in the lobby. Elsewhere in the James, it's a huge no-no. I don't really know what effect laptops and personal cell phones have on the medical equipment, but given that those machines are super-sensitive, what might seem insignificant to the Average Joe could be profound where the staff and the patient are concerned. Take your cell phones and laptops to the designated cell phone use areas. Don't use them in the patient rooms. So, aside from the doctors not checking on Mama's medications, the James is a fantastic hospital and an even more amazing research facility. If they can one day find an absolute cure for cancer, it will be yet another notch in their belt. Four stars.

They scheduled the 1 year old visit for just before his first birthday. I thought that was fine but…read moreapparently they can't do the 1 year shots until after his first birthday. Frustrating but oh well. So now we have to schedule another appointment in 2 weeks. Show up to that appointment as scheduled and the doctor isn't there to sign the order until an HOUR after the scheduled appointment time. So they said I could wait for an hour with my toddler and baby or I could leave. I'll never be back. How do you screw up scheduling 2 appointments in a row? Also when our main pediatrician was out of town we were scheduled with another doctor that was clearly not a pediatrician and told us to stop scheduling with her. I was like, this is were the front desk scheduled us. We don't want to see you either.... Often the nurses can't get the head circumference or just skipped measuring height altogether. We stuck it out for a year but that office is not a great place. We will never be back.

Currently, they are going through some renovations, so it is kind of a mess at the moment, but once finished, I think it's going to make this place really stellar. I generally meet with a Nurse Practitioner and she is very thorough and attentive to my concerns. The lab staff and quick and efficient and I've never had any issues! There is parking in the back, so don't worry about finding a spot on High St. Since it is so centrally located, students, you can just walk or take COTA. I definitely recommend this place. They really do take good care of their patients, and people who are more regular than I am, I could tell they remembered them and kept up on conversation about their lives. It's a nice feeling when going to the 'doc.

Small blood drive area upstairs, a steady stream of people but only a couple of us at a time. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I did the fast-pass thing online and that does save some time, but there are still a lot of questions here, plus blood pressure, etc. Did the power red for the first time. A little slower than a regular donation, because it pulls blood out and separates it, then rehydrates you. So maybe helps recovery time. Still sat and had a snack afterwards, just in case. If you are able, this is a simple, easy thing to do that helps a lot of people. Plus you get a snack, and usually a gift like a t-shirt, gift card, etc. I do it because my dad did, and then after 9/11 it felt like my duty to help. Plus blood drives at work meant an hour break!

I started volunteering with the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus over two years ago. In that…read moretime I have had the opportunity to honor First Responders, Veterans, and Volunteers through the 2018 Heroes Gala. We honored outstanding people who went above and beyond to help their community in their chosen field. One of the most fun events I participated in was the Sound the Alarm program in which we tested and replaced smoke detectors throughout the Greater Columbus area. This was a great opportunity to volunteer in a small group, meet amazing people, make new friends, and help to make sure our neighbors were protected and had plans to evacuate their home in case of a fire. I am currently working with the Recruitment Team to bring awareness to the various opportunities the Red Cross has to help alleviate human suffering. Whether it is by volunteering as a Blood Donor Ambassador, working at Blood Drives, or volunteering to drive in our Blood Transportation area, it allows people to be a part of helping to save countless lives. There are also opportunities in Disaster Response and Relief to help be the best part of a person's worst day. From major natural disasters to a home fire in the middle of the night, these dedicated volunteers are always ready to respond. I am honored to play a part in recruiting new volunteers and seeing them flourish and gain a sense of satisfaction by helping. The American Red Cross of Greater Columbus is an amazing organization and I am so glad that I began to volunteer and know that I will continue to volunteer for many years to come.

It's been 5+ years since my first review here and goodness, a lot has changed since then. So much…read moreso, that it's time for an update. The biggest change is that it has gone through a total renovation on the inside. The check in area is right up front and it's large and spacious. The main floor looks almost the same, with the small cafe area also getting a face lift. I think the thing I noticed the most is that the stairs are gone from the center of the lobby. Now the main way to get to the second floor is the elevator. This definitely opened up the space. As for offices and different departments, the only ones I've been in since the change are urgent care and physical therapy. The urgent care is now on the first floor and when I had to go a few months ago, I was able to quickly book an appointment online for later that day. I had zero wait time and no problems at all. As for the PT area, it looks completely different, and in a good way. The service I've received has stayed the same, really great overall. I'll definitely continue to come here when needed.

Good visit. This review is focused on my experience at the Tower section of the Martha Morehouse…read moreMedical Plaza. I had a scheduled appointment and was coming in to have some lab work done. This was the first time I have used this location for labs, but it was an option and wanted to go here based on location. I also use this location for Gastroenterology. They have a great department and my doctor works out of the Medical Plaza as well. I have consistently had good visits there too. For the lab work, upon arrival at the plaza the parking is still a bit of a mess due to construction. I would recommend allowing a little extra time to be on the safe side. It was busy when I walked in the tower there was a line at registration of about 7 people in front of me and more arrived after. The line moved as quickly as possible but there was only one employee at that front entrance. She worked to get us all checked in and I think it was just a 9 am rush. After check in and registration, I was directed around to the other side for the lab work. It was on the ground floor and that part of the lobby/waiting room was packed. I had an appointment and waited about 20 minutes past my appointment time or so. I did notice, they do offer walk-in lab hours but would recommend an appointment here if possible. Once my name was called, I was escorted back and the nurse verified my identity and did her job. She was great and was very personable which was nice after the wait. Overall, a good visit and friendly employees and nurses that I spoke with. I will definitely be back as they offer a lot of services and departments here at the Medical Plaza.
