2/3/26 I had a 5 star stay at Community last week. The nurse & room staff were exceptional. The communication with the emergency room Dr was the best I have ever received in my 65 years. I met a number of people during my 2 day one night stay as I had multiple tests run. All of them were either good or great. I don't like going to the hospital, but when I do, I choose Community. read more

It's been a long 2 weeks. After the ER debacle at Silver Cross Hospital, my husband brought me here where I was admitted for 7 days. Lumbosacral root pain is unlike anything I've ever experienced. The ER staff were top notch and worked hard to relieve my pain and admitted me to find out the root of the problem. Every nurse, technician, assistant, doctor, specialist, etc. was attentive and helpful. It was a neurosurgeon who discovered that a screw in my lumbar area is touching my sciatic nerve. There is nothing to be done about it as it's too risky. However, we are going to do extensive rehabilitation to build the muscle around the area. It will help to manage the pain. More about that when I begin the sessions. So, if you're looking for attentive, knowledgeable, and expert care, this hospital is the place to go. I'm grateful for everyone who helped care for me. read more

My mom was in the hospital for 20 days. Admitted in heart failure. Many procedures during her stay. I can't say enough good things about the quality of care she received. From the knowledgeable doctors, to the caring nurses. She was in CVU for half of her stay. They were so attentive & nice. I'd recommend this hospital highly. read more

I absolutely love this hospital. Excellent quality of care Every time we have had to go to Community Hospital in Munster, Indiana. Today, my Mom was scheduled for a colonoscopy. The procedure was performed by Dr. Chang and his superb surgical team/staff. All of the nurses were friendly, professional and attentive. Following the procedure; Dr. Chang came into the room and explained the entire procedure along with all of his findings. He is able to explain everything in layman's terms. Overall experience...5 stars. read more

Have been going here for the last 40 years. I get my blood work here and see my doctor for yearly visit. I go May 7th only to find out they don't take Humana Advantage plan which we just signed up for this year. I offer to pay for blood work and she tells me I can't pay for it, thats fraud. Go to doctors office because I have doctors appointment May 11th, they inform me they can't see me anymore because they don't take Humana. Been a patient for 40 years. This is what happens when conglomerates like Powers come in and take over your hospitals. People no longer matter. There reason was they weren't getting paid fast enough. It's called GREED! read more

GET RID OF DR.ARORA. he has a nasty mouth and nasty attitude, that would help. the food is excellent and the maid staff are very helpful,.

Tonight I visited the hospital with my 3-year-old son, who was having trouble breathing. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated my baby with such care and immediate attention. Everyone was kind, gentle, and quick to respond. Sam at triage was incredibly caring and patient. Payton, the R2 Respiratory Therapist, gave me so much helpful information and tips to help my baby cough and breathe easier. She even talked and played with him, tickling him to make him smile during his treatment. The doctor was detailed, patient, and informative, making sure I understood everything. I know this job isn't easy, and I truly commend you all. I had been at work since 6 a.m. and rushed straight to the ER exhausted, but you all made my night. Baby Tony is doing so much better, and it's all because of you. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. This team deserves to be recognized for their compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. You went above and beyond -- and that makes all the difference. read more

My experience from the ER to a room on the 6th floor hasn't been the greatest. Dirty floors. Dead flies in the hospital room. Dust in corners. Packaging from medical supplies lying around the floor or under the bed. Cleanliness is not what you might expect from a hospital. As for care, it was hit or miss. A few ER nurses are on the top of their game. Especially those on the 6th floor. Doctors however, not so much. Just hope your primary care physician is in town when you are admitted or else you get what you get and it's not the greatest care. In fact, it's confusing and contradictory. I had an awful time being discharged. Even the pharmacy at the hospital is all over the place. Not being aware of orders submitted. Being discharged early on a Saturday was chaos. From being wheeled downstairs to attempting to get prescriptions filled at the hospital. It wasn't an easy task. I will also comment on the service in the front ER checkin as despicable. From yelling at patients to making you wait without providing chairs in the waiting room...it was not a good experience. read more

I had went into the hospital because I lost the ability to urinate. It is not a urinary tract infection as I had no other signs or symptoms. I did have a break out of shingles near that area. I went to the hospital freaking out, thinking I had an STD, but it was confirmed that it was definitely shingles, what a terrible place to get it let me tell you! So I guess that shingles has some kind of connection with the nerves in your body. That's why the breakouts usually end up in one area. It was only on the left side of my body where I had the shingles. OK, so that being said they gave me a CAT scan and then they did an MRI the next morning to make sure that my nerves were OK. They never found out the reason why I couldn't go to the bathroom but inserted a catheter and just said that, maybe my bladder needed a rest. I have an appointment with a urologist on Tuesday that will remove the catheter and I guess hopefully I will be able to go to the bathroom then? If not, I have no idea what's next. Some of the nurses were very nice and some of them were very dismissive as were the doctors. One doctor came into my room and neither my mom or I could understand a word he said. We kept asking him to repeat himself. If someone is a muffler, they need to open their mouth wider and talk so a patient can actually understand what they're saying! 100. For a diabetic or pretty much anyone, the breakfast they served me was unreal. When I was finally able to eat the next day, the breakfast consisted of one tiny pancake, orange juice, milk, and coffee. Orange juice is loaded with sugar they considered it to be one carbohydrate exchange just as the pancake was one carbohydrate exchange. Honestly, I don't drink orange juice. I would've completely skipped it and went straight towards Just having a second pancake or at least an egg for protein. Make sure if you go to this hospital they actually give you the medicine that you're supposed to take every day and if they don't give it to you ask why not. I'm sure they'll charge my insurance for medicine that they didn't give me. When my husband went to pick up my medicine from Walmart. The worker told him that the hospital canceled some of my other medicines. They canceled medicines that I've been taking for years. Medicines that have nothing to do with the hospital or my visit . They canceled one of my diabetic meds which they had no right to do. I see an endocrinologist for those. I am on the right dosage. They canceled an anti-anxiety medicine which again is actually given to me by a mental health professional because I have really bad panic attacks and they cancelled that. So I don't know why I had to go through their pharmacy if they're calling Walmart and canceling medicines that I need. This whole ordeal has just made me lose complete faith in the hospital. Now I have to talk to two doctors to go ahead and rewrite prescriptions for the ones they canceled. I am pretty livid. I'm trying to recover and I am in a lot of pain and dealing with. This is just a lot. read more

I am startled by how much the bill came to. 90% of the time I was in waiting room and then waiting hall of ER. Didn't get a room. My heart was not placed on a monitor. My bill came to over $4000. No ambulance was called. I just waited about 90% or more of the time. Sad! read more

Dr David Stewart was the best! You have let down a lot of patients that won't be returning.

I came into the Er in April 19th or 20th I don't remember, complaining that I believe I had bruised my coccyx/tailbone. I could barely walk and was short of breath because the pain felt like I kept knocking the wind out of myself. I arrived at 3pm when I was seen I felt very dismissed I told the doctor that I had taken a naproxen that I had left over to try and help with the pain but it didn't help. They did an x-ray and told me they didn't find anything mind you the area was so swollen and tender you could see it through my pants not to mention it was purple. The waiting area felt like a Covid hotspot it was DISGUSTING and so were the bathrooms. When I finally saw the doctor around 9:45pm he didn't ask to see my back or anything just told me that the X-rays showed nothing and just to take Tylenol and if I have pain still IN A MONTH to come back. I told him I had already took a naproxen and it didn't nothing to where he just shrugged his shoulders and told me I can go back to work the next day because I was walking and I needed to stretch it. I asked him to write me a note to at least take one day off because I was in a lot of pain to where I was met with an eyeroll but he did it anyway. I had never felt so dismissed before. I went to my primary doctor the next month because the pain hadn't gone away it had gotten worse and he was LIVID. He immediately put me on a week long round of steroids and put me on muscle relaxers and got me into physical therapy. Not only did I bruise my coccyx but it was out of alignment and my sciatic nerve suffered damage and because I let it sit so long it got worse. Thanks to doctor Patel I'm doing SO MICH BETTER. read more

Horrible starting in the er no one checks on you once placed in room, your monitor will go off for an hour before anyone even bothers to check on you. When monitors go off you can hear the nurses making comments "oh we should just shut them all off". Very un professional, a disgrace to the healthcare system and the well being of patients. read more

Dr Clemency who is a wound Dr was totally unprofessional. He had me do a Doppler and when he came into the room, I said good morning. The Doppler was good. He said I'm not here to socialize. Just let me do what I have to do. He was out of the room in 45 seconds. read more

I found this physician to be quite rude, which left me feeling embarrassed. I'm experiencing significant issues with my testicles. I had to expose myself in front of a few nurses, and he refused to complete any of the necessary paperwork for my job that would allow me to go back to work. Physician MOHAMMED HASHIM was very uncooperative regarding the paperwork for my work protocol; he printed my diagnosis but wouldn't fill out my return-to-work form. This could potentially lead to my termination, which is very unprofessional and discourteous behavior on his part.he seemed like he was more worried about his looks then me flipping his long hair and blinking his green eyes very bad experience read more

Been here 4 hrs. Sitting in ER hall with my gf who is having major chest pains, has cancer, has MEN1 rare disease. They gave her pain meds and benadryl and haven't been back in 2.5 hours now. The floors are disqusting they have moved people in and out of rooms while we sit in a disgusting hall and she is passed out on the rolling bed. I think they forgot about her yet we are in a f@#king hall. Horrible hospital recommend CVS urgent care above here. read more

In December 2021 I was admitted to this hospital for lumbar fusion. As I was in pre-op, getting injected to go under, the assistant anesthesiologist yelled, "You are never coming to this hospital again because you are not vaccinated!" The operating room nurse (named Karen) yelled, "You are going to DIE!";4 times. My wife and the entire stall heard this. The entire staff heard this including my doctor. The patient advocate said SORRY. read more

The nicest person in this emergency room was the house keeping lady . I would not sent a fcking dog here!

The entire staff was friendly and well knowledged. My surgery was handled seamlessly.

October 25 2023 I went to ER of Community Hospital for chronic pain Doctor Garoza accused me of pill seeking he told me he couldn't give me opioid's and to take aleve or Tylenol I was trying to explain that those medications did not work and they had caused me to loose my teeth and I am allergic to most of the medicines I have tried many alternatives so he accused me of the name calling I never called him a stupid doctor he now has stained my records with behavioral pain seeking I want it removed immediately I do not regularly go to hospital when my chronic pain flares up! I do understand that there is an opioid pandemic and I was not trying to get any pain medicine prescription But would like to acknowledge Dawn she was very compassionate and understanding read more

I have never been so disappointed and frustrated with a hospital before. my father is a patient of the hospital and was treated horribly. His primary never came to see him in the hospital and never called him regarding his PET scan results, although the results were emailed to my 87 yr old father with a malignancy outcome on his scan. I am an RN with over 30 years of experience and have never seen a patient treated so poorly. I wouldn't ever send anyone here. read more

I understand ER wait times cannot be avoidable but when you go in for chest/abdominal pain, causing SOB, and cold sweats where I'd prefer to be in labor instead....how is a 12hr wait reasonable. I got my results thru MyChart that showed everything normal...they could've of easily taken me back to a room & told me "You're fine. Results are normal. It's all part of having your positive diagnosis- go home and rest." Yet, I had to ask 3x for updates on how much longer & was told it's all based on cases. And each time, those registration ladies had an attitude when I asked. If you don't like being asked, then ladies, you're in the wrong job industry. And I was placed in a dirty isolated waiting room. Not once did any person come check to see if I was ok or needed anything. Heck, another person showed up hours after me and no one checked on him. read more

We visited the emergency department today and it was super busy. However, we were checked in and seen by a doctor in less than two hours.

If you don't want to die do not take one step in this hospital. The doctors operate in a complete silo and don't communicate among themselves or with family members. Shit care is how i would describe this place. They are only there to check the box. My beautiful mother didn't deserve to die the way she did. PS I waited a whole year to write this and I still feel sick to my stomach thinking about how my family and mother were treated. read more

Came in Around 5pm on a Monday to have girlfriend checked because she was pregnant and feeling a little weird, her blood pressure was just a little higher than normal, the doctors then said she had to get induced and told us they would start immediately without telling us why until the next day, or even giving us option on how we could proceed from here on, when the induction started it was 12am she was dilated 2cm when arrived, by 4am she was 5cm, then the doctors didn't come back around for about 8 whole hours, even though she should have been getting checked every 2 hours, then when they decided to come back and check on us it was already 1:30pm the next day and when they checked her dilation the babies head had already dropped and she was ready to give birth. Keep in mind they didn't check her dilate until I called the nurses from the room MYSELF because she was getting feverish, it might be a hunch but we believe it's because she was left unattended for so long. The birth itself was the only good part about being here, after the baby was born we had to stay another day due to getting checked making sure everything was okay, that was understandable. But throughout the night we only got checked on ONE Time, Like excuse me we are first time parents and you're not going to check on us regularly as you should? our whole stay we kept getting told we would get checked on every so and so hour, but when it came to it the nurses would take 3 hours 4hours an hour extra and so on. We were just upset at the whole situation we got put in once arriving at the hospital. At one point my girlfriend got put on blood pressure vitamins, the nurse who delivered the first pill to see what would happen said she would be back in 2 hours... 4 hours went by and it wasn't until a new shift started that we found out from another nurse that the previous nurses shift had ended, therefor we had to restart the whole vitamin process and observe her behavior after taking the pill AGAIN, after all this we had been here already for 3NIGHTS and 4DAYS. Another time my girlfriend started crying because she was getting stressed out by the whole thing like do you guys not see the strain your putting on us leaving us wondering whats gonna happen next not telling us anything for hours at a time? After about the second day My girlfriend then started feeling fine, saying she felt ready to go home when we would make the nurses and doctors acknowledge this they would blow over our opinions and proceed to say we still couldn't leave the hospital. Whenever we would ask when we would be discharged they would just ignore us and keep doing their thing, and it wouldn't be until the next shift change where a nurse would finally tell us we can't leave for another day. keep in mind during these times of covid-19 no one is allowed to walk in or out our room therefore we were stuck in one room practically against our wishes and when we asked a nurse if we could have someone bring us stuff to the door outside she said yes but when the time came to have someone drop off extra clothes and we asked her to pick it up at the door, she gave us a whole attitude stating "WHY DIDNT THEY BRING IT ALL THE WAY UP OR TELL A NURSE" like excuse me miss you just told us no one could come in so we had to get it dropped off? The whole hospital and the employees are contradicting themselves and what they say constantly, one nurse can say something and another nurse will say something completely different. Overall some nurses are good and have good intentions, unfortunately not all nurses carry out the job in a professional way they were taught to at a med school? There's still More that happened but I'm sure just reading enough of this you can tell how our personal experience was. God speed be with you if you come here, may god give you good personnel to look over you. The 2 stars are because of the good nurses we really appreciate you and your effort truly we do. read more

This place has a few gem workers in there but I wouldn't advise going here to mother baby. The Dr on call was amazing However, A lot of employees are unprofessional & have an issue respecting and caring for Black individuals! Treated me as if I was an uneducated incompetent object instead of a person. Even my loved ones witnessed & were even treated the same during their visit with me & baby there. ESPECIALLY in Mother Baby!! I will NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!! read more

We recently had my mother in Community Hospital after a horrific experience at Hartsfield Village (also owned by Community Healthcare System but a separate review). Once my mother was admitted to Community there was zero communication with the Hospitalists who were coordinating her care Imagine your loved one is in the hospital and you have no idea what is going on and No one will EVER speak to you If that is the service you were looking for when a loved one is sick then I guess community hospital is the place you should go in addition the nurses do not want to speak you either. It's a black hole And when we became extremely concerned about my mothers medical condition the nurse manager actually was lecturing us about why my mother was so confused turns out she had encephalopathy secondary to an infection that they had missed that was causing her to hallucinate Please take your loved ones to a teaching level hospital if at all possible this place is a hot mess zero leadership we had nurses lying to us just not impressive even the social worker did not communicate with us while she was trying to place my mother after discharge. I have heard that there is no leader ship at this hospital that at the highest level the person in charge is only there because of a family member based on our experience that is obvious . We felt that community Hospital was an accident waiting to happen it is no surprise to us that a patient was shot and killed by a security guard back in 2020. We especially felt this way when we had the experienced of the nursing staff not listening to us when we were concerned with my mothers mental state when she was hallucinating. read more

As I read the other reviews I find it a bit hard to believe. 2 weeks ago I had a left side hernia and right side hydrocele repaired. Got there at 9 am. On table at 1030 am. Not one person was rude, they all did a great job. My BP was crazy high. They got me in check. The anesthesia doc even came to check on me after surgeries!

Came to the emergency room because I stepped In a pothole and heard a pop In my knee over a week ago. First u can't get a drink out the vending machine everyone was so nice but damn for people here several hours, they immediately took me In for x-rays which I found off...bones don't pop, ligaments and tendons do, they just trying to hike up the bill for insurance purposes. I'm in a shit to. Of pain whenever I put wait or bend my knee to far, then they proceed to put me in this full leg immobilizer like you asked me if I drove here and I told u yes by myself you can keep this leg immobilizer I'll buy myself a knee brace tomorrow but this leg immobilizer I remember having 1 in like 1982 when I had knee stitches....like no it's been over 10-11 days that I been In pain, I just wanna know why and what's wrong and apparently this hospital is very generic and makes sure nothing is broken and pushes u out door, burn and turn for money read more

Despite long waits in the ER which seems to be common among all local hospitals, they did a wonderful job treating my mother who is 80 years old and has dementia. She was so combative and so scared but they were so kind to her in the ER. Seven hours after arriving she finally got a room. The gals on the fourth floor were amazing. They gave her a sitter named Dee who is astounding. The CNA Carolyn was amazing. She was the kindest, gentlest person I've ever seen. She took care of my mother like she was her own. The nurse Zorka was also tremendous. They attended mom's needs and were so kind. Mom was treated and got to come home three days later. Even the food was good read more

When I visited this hospital My mother was checked in and then when my mother went to go do the blood test the lady asked why she was having one done (meaning she didn't even know why she was taking her blood)then one of the nurses said that the hospital was short staffed and when we first asked how long it was gonna be they said that the room has to be cleaned then when we asked again they didn't know how long it would be until they would see us when we finally got to the room it took them forever to see my mother and give her medicine but before they gave her the medicine they gave her a ice pack for a hernia that was causing my mother extreme pain in the right side of her stomach where she could not sit, barely walk, and was causing her to get sick to her stomach. read more

Been here as a patient and as a visitor. Can't say that I have had a bad experience on either end. The doctors, nurses, aides, techs and other staff have always been the up most professional and courtesy. They will take the time to explain things to you and the family and give your the options to make the right informed choices. Despite the whole recent law suit with the cardiologists I still would stand by this hospital and its medical team. read more

What I thought was a good hospital, seemed to be mediocre. My cousin was admitted to the 2nd floor Neuro IMÇU, nurses Allison, Ashley and Lindsay were very nice. Tony was ok the day we met her, but her phone etiquette needs quite a bit of improvement and she is too condescending. Not everyone is a nurse and understands what the patient is going thru. On the other hand when I was there and Lindsay was on duty, she was caring and understanding. Kudos to Lindsay!! Than our cousin was transferred to the 4th floor rehab, what a joke!! Nurses there when I called daily were like it was a bother, and Crystal especially was like you are wasting her time. I was told by the social worker Joy, to bring clothes for her. We did and they never assisted her in dressing. Therapist are better at the Manor care she is at now, with a call immediately from the speech therapist after evaluating her at Manor care asking all sorts of questions. Was on a conference call with the 3 from the hospital and couldn't understand them because of a poor connection. Not once did we see our cousin sitting in a chair, always in bed where of course she has a sore on her back side. Stay away from the rehab floor!! Social services another JOKE!!! Start off with Mallory telling her since our cousin needed rehab to look into getting her here in Illinois where we live. She never followed up, Joy picked up the ball after 1 call from Mallory. After one call from Joy, Heather took over (what a whirl wind from person to person) can't one person complete the case?? I felt tossed around like a bouncing ball. Heather calls me on a Friday that our cousin is being moved to Manor Care on Sunday, and she would call me Sunday morning to give me a round about time of the move. Didn't want our cousin going to a nursing home thinking no one knows she is being moved. She has dementia. Sunday noon comes around, for some reason I felt like I had to call the hospital to find out that the ambulance came for our cousin and she was on her way. THANKS Heather for NO phone call, talk about lack of efficiency!!! Stay away from working with the social service dept. I wouldn't take my worst enemy to that hospital. read more
