ER staff is not knowledgable, not friendly and treated my daughter and myself horribly. I wish we lived near a different hospital. Do not feel confident with this being the main hospital near us. They misdiagnosed my daughter on more than one occasion. Nurses in ER are horrible, doctors are worse.

Very helpful

We have been in this ER sevetal times and the staff is wonderful. Keep up the great work

I HAVE BEEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR DUE TO MY CHILDS ILLNESS. THEY MAKE YOU WAIT A LONG TIME--AND THAT IS JUST NERVEWRACKING. THE NURSES IN EMERGENCY ARE NOT FRIENDLY. THIS IS A SCARY EXPERIENCE AND THEY DO NOTHING TO MAKE YOU FEEL SAFE AND CARED FOR. MY CHILD WAS IN SEVERE PAIN AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP UNTIL THE DOCTOR CAME IN. BELEIVE ME..I HAVE BEEN THERE ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE WAY UNDERSTAFFED. NO ONE SHOULD BE MADE TO WAIT 45 MINUTES WHEN THEY ARE IN PAIN AND SCARED. THIS HOSPITAL CAN DO GREAT THINGS BUT THEY NEED TO BE MORE CONSIDERATE OF THE PEOPLE THAT COME IN TO EMERGENCY. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PROBLEMS ARE NOT EMERGENCY ISSUES BUT ANY TYPE OF PAIN OR SOMEONE BLEEDING SHOULD BE USHERED IN IMMEDAITELY. I CALL FOR MORE NURSE AND DOCTORS IN EMERGENCY. I ALSO CALL FOR TRAINING IN COMPASSION. THIS IS NOT A CITY HOSPITAL...GRANDVIEW YOU KNOW BETTER.

I will second Nikkixo's review. I had my baby at GVH in January 2011. I started contractions at 2 minutes apart, on the dot and two hours later I was at the hospital. They set you up in a triage room where they "monitor" baby and mom. My sister and myself kept telling them the monitors weren't on the baby or my belly (they were flipped up) and they would snip back "we can see everything from the monitors at the desk". It's funny that they could see a fetal heartbeat and we couldn't. They wouldn't allow me to stand up (slowing down any possible progression). They released me two hours later, the dr examined me once and not before they released me. My contractions were still 2 minutes even apart. It took me about an hour to get out of bed, re-dressed, and to the elevator (not very far) when I finally fell to the ground and couldn't move anymore. I had all back labor. When my mom demanded I be admitted, the nurse came out and laughed at me on all fours on the floor in front of the elevator. They finally admitted me (due to our persistance) and then the dr finally came up to check on me and noticed I had in fact progressed. 10 hours later it was time to push. I pushed and out game my baby, full of meconium (spelling?) and not moving, breathing, crying...NOTHING. All I saw was a limp baby and my Dr flipping out on the nurses telling them to get CHOP. I kept asking what was going on and no one would tell me. I started yelling, and still, no one would tell me, my dr just looked at me. I then started crying and flipping out and she finally told me the cord was wrapped around her neck (I know not Dr fault). To this day, no one ever actually told me what happened that day. I had to over hear a nurse in the special nursery gossip with her other nurse friends that they had lost her for at least 30 seconds...Also, to make matters worse, I told the L&D nurse my water broke and she said that it hadn't...a few hours later when my baby was born, the Dr asked her when my water broke and she had no idea...they had to make up a time...They are lucky I didn't sue them also...My daughter was a little slow developing until she turned a year...If she had any perminent issues, they'd be having some meetings with my lawyer. I'm pregnant again and have decided to move to Doylestown Hospital since I have heard much better things about them. My entire stay at GVH was horrible, the nurses were terrible, they kept taking my daughter (for her checkups) for hours at a time when I was very adiment about her staying my my room with me the entire time. I did not want her in the nursery for everyone's viewing pleasure. On many occasions I had to ask for her back and demanded an explaination as to why she wasn't with me...They'd say "oh there's a line to see the ped"...Then why the heck did you take her from my room if there was "a line", they should've done in room exams (like my sister had with her baby) or waited until the dr was finished with one baby before getting the next. I was thrilled when I was discharged so I could be the mother I wanted to be instead of having loud annoying women telling me how to take care of my baby girl. She is now almost 13 months old and her pediatrition is very happy with her progress and health so I think I'm doing a fine job.
