- sorry but every time i go here it 4-7 hour waits ! Dont get me wrong some doctors can be great but most are ignorant & just dont care about the job the people at the front desk take they time calling people in line , cleaning people honestly need to stay off their phones and clean the rooms so people can be in and out , also the doctors/ nurses take forever coming into the rooms checking patients , the lobby is a mess anymore ! But this hospital is by far the worst only go here cause it closer for my kids other then that my kids will never been seen in this hospital for any other reasons ! Ive went here 2xs already end of August beginning of October & ive had to wait couple hours !

staff is really nice but other then that everything else is just not worth it. have multiple patients waiting for a room. constantly always telling patients, we won’t know when your room will be ready. very unprofessional.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Rodney De Braux Sr. | Jan 12, 2022

Not sure I would call front desk emergency department ask a head nurse for more information

Why ?? Did my granddaughter have too wait 5 hours too be seen ,She had a gash across her nose we thought it was broken and she had trouble breathing. They didn't take it as a serious problem.

Netisha Scott | Dec 13, 2021
Milka Cordero | Dec 13, 2021

All hospitals at the moment have a waiting period of 3 or more hours because of the heavy flow. Unfortunately there's is not enough nurses or Doctors to take care of everyone so quickly. We are a trauma center as well and everything pauses when we get a trauma due to short staffing.

Does this hospital have a brain center or TBI center? A 13 year old relative is on her way there now... Wondering why they switch from top to this Hospital are they better? Or did they just have a TBI center?

Anne Marie | Dec 13, 2021
jellsworthjr | Dec 13, 2021

Not sure about a TBI Center but they do have a Level 1 pediatric trauma center. It is an exceptional pediatric oncology hospital. My 13 year old son has been receiving treatment for Leukemia there since December 2020. His mother and I are very happy with the level of care he gets. Much more personal care then he received at CHOP.

Is the pediatric department open on Saturdays?

Charnique Menyweather | Oct 9, 2021

Emergency room is always open! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

How are the orthopaedic at St chris hospital

Basel Rifai | Oct 9, 2020
Amanda Valesquez | Oct 9, 2020

Everything at this hospital is amazing. They are amazing people and so caring and so smart and there are so many doctors and nurses to help with your child. Only thing is that they don't provide food for you. Only for your child. So you have to bring food or go out to buy something and bring it back. Good luck with everything. 💙

I work there. As far as parking, the first 30 mins are free, anything after that is a five dollar flat rate for the rest of the day. And your son would go to the short procedure unit on the 2nd floor for same day surgery.

Get paper copy images or a CD (if available) from the doctor that performed your radiograph. Then take them to your other doctor. They are your images so you have rights to them. I hope this helped👍

They do not answer anything on the phone, they answered me, they do not hear and they hang up. If there are people who speak Spanish they do not want to help. You have to report every deal.

Joseph Waters | Oct 10, 2019
Sharon Melendez | Oct 10, 2019

It depends on what he is going to the ER for. Say like if he's going just cuz he's sick a lot that's not mandated report worthy. If he's going for broken bones or anything of that nature, then it is mandated report worthy. So yea find out what he's going in for, then go from there.
