    Went there recently for a day surgery procedure. All staff were really friendly (nurses, security, cafeteria stall, doctors...).

    I am thankful for the healthcare professionals and care team at this location…read more From the registration staff, to technicians and medical professionals, even volunteers and security, I have typically had a positive experience. Only downside for me is the cost of care for tests, or things not covered by insurance. (Check out alternative places, like Bright Light Imaging for CT Scans or imaging). The halls and main spaces are kept clean and in order. I especially appreciate the staff in the Breast Care Center. They are very caring individuals. I also find it is a perk to have a nice Starbuck's in the lobby here too, so you can treat yourself to a hot or iced beverage after an appointment. And, this is your reminder ladies (and men) to practice self care and get checked regularly each year. You matter! And this is a nice place to go when care is needed.

My visit was to the lab. I didn't know where to go so, when I entered the building and saw the information desk, I asked. I was pointed to another desk just a little further into the building. When I got to the lab test, they greeted me pleasantly and I gave them the lab orders. They immediately took me back and ran the tests. I had the results from one test that afternoon, and the other required a few days so expect to hear about it next week. They were fast, pleasant, and I thought the quality of service was very good.

    I've heard mixed reviews of Alexian Brothers over the years. I've visited people there but have…read morenever had to use their services. My wife had a bad case of the flu and we wound up at the ER late one night. She was seen almost immediately. The staff was pleasant and attentive. They listened, which I don't always see from hospital staff. The nurses were really wonderful - available and helpful. I can't entirely say the same about the staff doctor - I didn't get his name but he was a young guy who, while I'm sure is a very good doctor, didn't have the best bedside manner. And, when I had a question for him and couldn't get him to come to the room, I walked over to the desk where he was chatting about sports with others. When I tried to interrupt, he told me to wait and he'd see me when he was available. While I understand that everyone deserves a break now and again, being available for your patients is paramount. Clearly, not working and not being able to answer a simple question because you're talking about unimportant things is not what should be expected. Outside of my complaint about the doctor, we were very happy with how they treated us and cared for my wife. Of course, we have not seen the bill yet...

They will mix heart patients with heavy drug users. Security guards watching you. I was placed in a warm room, then remove to a room that felt like I was in a freezer ordered by the head nasty nurse. If you black don't go to Alexian Brothers Hospital. I started with a 140/80 blood pressure and discharge with a 189/90 blood pressure. I had to beg to please take out the needle still in my arm so I could at least put my coat on. Three blankets were not enough. I then realized I was in the room that the ambulance bring patients through double doors heavy with ice. Temperature about 10 degrees outside. I will NEVER, NEVER go back there again!

    Like an asylum from the 1930's…read more Dr. Shah is a quack. I have atypical Autism. He tried to diagnose me as psychotic. I don't even live in the state of Illinois, and he thought it was a good idea to keep me in the hospital for two weeks. His decision cost me my job. He also demanded that I start taking medicine that I didn't need and that essentially turned me into a nonverbal three-year-old. I am guessing he did this to stop me from complaining to authorities about him, but, unfortunately for him, I am in the process of filing a 10-page complaint with the Illinois state medical board. At discharge, he stole a prescription of Adderall from me and attempted to steal $700.00. I had to have a lawyer call and threaten to file a police report in order to have the money returned. I didn't get the medication back. I am guessing he took it, and I don't blame him, because he may need it worse than me. I am hoping that in doing so he was able to provide his other patients there with something other than the far-below substandard care that I received. Unless you want a nightmare horror movie experience, stay out of this hospital. It is the worst. Not only are the doctors ignorant about developmental disorders, but they actively abuse and take advantage of the vulnerable people who have them.

My wife had cancer and had been through 6 months of chemo, 1 month of daily radiation, as well as other treatments. This day she was having chest pain, and I insisted we go see what is happening. Turned out is was probably just anxiety. Anyways, I pulled up in front to let her out and park the car. But she told me to wait a minute. So of course I did. We sat for maybe 2 minutes in the car. Nobody around outside. No other cars. I just was seeing how she was, and persuading her to go get checked out. Then out walks a lady nurse. I'm thinking to myself, "good, maybe they will help persuade her to get checked out". Boy was I wrong! We were greeted with an angry, "What are you doing sitting here?" I said, "My wife has some chest pain and we are just getting ready to come in." Her response in a snarky tone was, "Well it's really weird you are just sitting out front like this!" I responded, "Well, we were deciding if it was needed to come in." Her response, "We can't help you, you need to go somewhere else!" It was a very weird experience. Thank God my wife was fine and it seems it was only anxiety or perhaps just something caused from her year of cancer treatments.

There have really been no changes to their lab. You can walk in with lab orders and they will take you in the order of check-in time. Their phlebotomists are good, and results come in quickly. As for the ER, they seem to have a lower staffing level. I think part of this is I heard they are no longer a trauma center. If that is the case, I understand their reduction in staff. As with most ERs, wait times can be outrageous. I brought someone in who was in terrible pain - 10 out of 10 on their scale. How much pain you are in doesn't seem to matter in their triage. We waited a very long time before we were finally taken back. Once in an ER room, the service was outstanding. The quality of the nurses and the ER doctor were top notch. When we left, the medical issue was resolved, and although it is cliche, we had service with a smile. Aside from the wait time in the ER, Endeavor seems to have kept the quality of care up to par.

He died choking to death. I drove in from Milwaukee and came into Alexian Brothers Hospital through the wrong entrance, it's a lot bigger with different entrances than when I used to work on an ambulance decades ago. I came into the E.R. through a back way, noting the multiple signs warning everyone that aggressive behavior towards staff would not be tolerated. There were no obvious signs indicating where to check in, though I did come in the back way. There was no one in the window (picture a glass barrier like in a late night liquor store in a sketchy neighborhood) but a worker was having a long drawn out conversation with another woman that involved a lot of repetition. I asked a passing security officer where I should check in and he pointed to the empty reception window. The woman in conversation did turn out to be the one who was supposed to be the reception worker so when she returned I said "my father died, I think he's in room 9, may I go back there?" She didn't apologize for the wait, but the woman she was talking to offered her condolences (not a worker, either a patient or relative of a patient), and I was shown to a locked door and let in. Someone just inside that door pointed to a room directly across, I walked through the nurses station island to get there, the curtain was closed and inside my step brother and his wife were sitting crying next to my father's body. The litter on the floor suggested a full code was performed, as my father the former cardiologist would have wanted. I could tell by the medical litter they must have "done everything they could." Technically proficient. There was a cart with 6 cold cups of coffee, 6 plastic bottles of water, and some store bought cookies. Not sure if that was for us, or if there just wasn't room in the hallway and the cart was stored there. There wasn't much to say, it had been a tumultuous month of Dad struggling to not die in Good Sam hospital, a roller coaster of hope and despair leading to the debacle at the rehab hospital and then this quiet, lonely, grim scene. My step brother and his wife had to go pick up their young daughter from school and I was left alone with my father's body for a while. A long while. No one came to talk to me, not a nurse, not a physician, not a chaplain, not a social worker, not even a housekeeper. I have no idea who was with my father in the last two hours of his life, what they did exactly, what they thought, and of course none of those people had any interest in knowing anything about the human being who so recently occupied this body. Nobody had any interest in who I was sitting with this body. When my father was a physician, he felt it was an important role to comfort family when patients died. He used to moonlight at Jackson Park Hospital Emergency Room where I saw him do this with grace and empathy. As a medical professor he would teach his interns and residents at the University of Chicago and then Rush Presb St. Lukes how important it was to practice compassion and care for survivors when patients passed away. As an attending physician he always checked in on his patients whatever hospital they ended up in, whether he was on staff or not, and he often attended patients' funerals. When it came to his turn, medicine had become a corporate capitalist business devoid of humanity, he died very much alone. I contemplated this, also, very much alone. When I opened the curtain to leave, all eyes avoided me and I left without so much as a goodbye. From the bottom of my heart I wish that whole Emergency Room crew better when it's their turn.
