They even offered to admit me to help get a handle on my pain or transport me to where my surgeon is. I have a surgery scheduled for August. My condition is often ignored by doctors and the pain is not taken seriously, so your suffering. But the doctors and nurses at St. Elizabeth's were compassionate and validated the severity of my illness and worked hard to get me comfortable. I will be returning if I need emergency care. I highly recommend.

The care in the Emergency Room and ICU is great, the staff is kind and compassionate however I…read morecannot say the same for the care in other departments. The nursing staff outside of the ICU is just plain rude... I understand that there are staffing shortages across all hospitals but basic human compassion and kindness went out the window in gen med. On top of all that the hospital is filthy- like incredibly filthy. I don't recommend getting treated here unless it's a life threatening emergency and it's the closest thing around.

I began running out of hospitals with no Transportation close to the one in Concord and Burlington, I remembered Old St. E's. A Place where I played Santa some 50 years earlier. I found Newsweek Magazine had a Great write-up on many of the Doctors there. It was Purchased by Old Boston City Hospital now Boston Medical Center. 3 times I had to go there in a matter of 4 or 5 months. I found it to be laid back, People Spoke to you as though one was sharing Gardening Techniques. One I got into the room both Nurses and Doctors Treated you (me) with GENUINE care, spoke with you and not at you. Took the time to listen and made sure my Medical Needs were taken care of. There aren't enough words to describe the shock, (was I just in a Hospital?) I have recommended the Emergency Department to anyone who may have needed it. I have to go again as I am very sick. My PCP at MGH is burnt out as he works his non-stop 8-5 hours everyday. Rush in and rush out NEXT! Insurance Companies have Purchased the Doctors Offices and are on top of moving these Doctors along. Hospitals aren't the Best place to visit but with my experience over the last 65 years, it will be Boston Medical Center for the rest of my Life. Thank you to all of the Staff at the E.R.

*sigh* It's been one problem after another since BMC took over from St. E's, where I'd been a…read morepatient for over 24 years without a single issue. I got a letter from BMC about a problem with Medicare. Though the envelope was addressed to me, the letter was addressed to someone else. TWO someones in fact: At the top it says "To: Isabel something" and in the body it says "Dear Pinnace somebody." And "Medicare file has a conflict with your name, date of birth and/or gender." Ya think?? You are clearly confused, BMC. Are you using AI maybe? I only ask because I have had Medicare at St. Elizabeth's for five years without a problem and now you have taken over and everything seems quite shall we say, fucked. So I called BMC, waited on hold, talked to someone I could barely hear--she sounded like she was at the bottom of a well. She put me on hold again, and after a while, without coming back, transferred me back to the main menu again. I pressed the option I thought was best and got put into a hold queue. For 25 minutes. Finally I pressed the option to get a call back. The recording said "Do you want a call back at..." and said a totally different number that isn't me at all. *sigh* My sweet Lord, these people have no clue. They give you a chance to enter a different number, so I did that. That was two hours ago. Now it's after five. I put a note in the patient portal, but they give you so few characters to write that I could hardly explain what happened. In the portal I saw a category for "Letters," presumably for the Letters they sent to you? I checked, and it says that I have no Letters. But I have this Letter in my hand. God, I miss St. E's.

When you end up in the hospital the quality of care you receive can make all of the difference in…read moreyour experience. The team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center was well-informed, well-equipped and exhibited superior bedside manner during my stay after having emergency surgery. During my time at the hospital Dr. Anu Hazra in infectious disease was quick to ensure that I was going to recover as soon as possible. My surgical team made up of Dr. Umesh Metkar and Dr. Michael Van Hal, were extremely knowledgeable. But what put my mind at ease was not only the display of their medical expertise but the care with which they treated me as a patient. Dr. Umesh Metkar and Dr. Michael Van Hal took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, next steps and recovery time and helped me feel more comfortable putting my faith in his surgical skills. During my recovery they checked in on my progress and continued to exhibit unrivaled professionalism, empathy and attentiveness to my care. In addition, the entire team of nurses and staff within the transplant unit mirrored the exceptional traits that Dr. Umesh Metkar and Dr. Michael Van Hal has displayed during each and every one of my interactions with them. They remained steadfast in their dedication to quality care, ensuring that my health was closely monitored and that I was made to feel as comfortable as possible. When I had any questions or issues that needed resolution the nursing staff was able to respond and come to my aid. In particular Julie, Christie, Melissa, Ligaya, Andrea, and Yelena were wonderful! The nursing staff was smart, personable and are what I would consider to be one of the biggest assets to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Should you ever need medical treatment, this is the team you want on your side. I cannot thank Dr. Umesh Metkar and Dr. Michael Van Hal, Melissa Aiesi, Ligaya Hannaford, Andrea Barbosa, and Yelena Kozhebrodskaya and of course Liz for all that they have done for me and all that they continue to do for all of their patients.

My college student, scared and crying, was *refused treatment* due to an unadvertised, unposted, completely arbitrary policy. Here's the infuriating backstory: My student developed a health issue far from home. We did everything right--checked our **Blue Cross/Blue Shield** insurance website, called to confirm, and even had a **Blue Cross rep speak directly with Carbon Health Brighton's billing office.** Ryan from Carbon assured both Blue Cross *and* us that our insurance was accepted and only a small co-pay was needed. But when my student arrived? She was taken to an exam room *only to be told by a nurse that they actually wouldn't see her.* At this point, she's crying and scared, only to be fed some **B.S. excuse** that they *don't take HMO coverage* and *only* accept patients referred from a nearby hospital. **WHY CALL YOURSELF URGENT CARE IF YOU WON'T HELP SICK PEOPLE?** And let's be clear--money was NOT the issue. We would have paid whatever it took to get her seen. But Carbon Health Brighton apparently values bureaucracy over basic human decency. **If you care about your health, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.**
