If you want a poster child for how and why the most powerful nation in the world can only provide third world health care to its citizens, spend 15 minutes at Harborview. Let's begin with the miserable, overworked, unfriendly and downright cruel staff. Overworked to the point of both exhaustion and in some cases psychosis, you will be insulted, cajoled, belittled and often ignored when you come to this hospital. You will see lazy employees with dirty hair, poor hygiene wearing their masks below their nose. You will see people hand you things without sanitizing their hands or wearing gloves. You'll find people who work at a COVID testing site not wearing masks and insisting you get closer than 6-feet so they see some barcode on your phone because they are too lazy to do the data entry of a 9-digit code. You will go to a blood draw and get a rookie phlebotomist that leaves bruise on your arm the size of a tennis ball. This is a hospital that doesn't even bother to mop its floors, clean its bathrooms, provide sanitary products like tissues and hand sanitizer and "features" its workers on break cluttered together without masks smoking and blowing their smoke all over the public sidewalk. Heck good luck even finding toilet paper in the stalls or soap in the bathroom sinks. It's a horror show. If you were not sick when you went in, you'll likely be very sick coming out. I've been in college dorm houses with better sanitary conditions. It's like this hospital took the anti-hypocratic oath and intends to the most harm possible to you the moment you walk in. I have been to hospitals in the Bahamas and Mexico that far, far outshine this filthy, overworked, overtired, officious, cruel and dangerous hospital. This institution is an utter disgrace to our fine city.

Clean environment. Came in for a cerebral angiogram, I was pretty scared as this was my first “surgery” type procedure but the staff made the entire process less scary. The staff was super friendly and polite I’m surprised there’s any complaints at all about the staff. I am pretty young for an angiogram so this was completely new to me but I’m thankful on how clear they were about everything and were able to kindly accommodate me when needed.

My experience at this hospital was traumatic medically and exceptional patiently! This review is for the pertained care I received. I was treated with kindness and respect at every encounter and the nurses were particularly kind. In comparison to other hospitals I've entered. My nurse Lena in particular bent over backwards to help me. I would never leave this review without her.

My son passed away 6 months ago today. His son (my grandson) who is 9 received an eye injury he was air lifted back in July. Fast forward 6 months and today my grandson conformer fell out. Two hours of waiting on phone they directed us to ER in Auburn. We wait 5 hours to only be sent to Harbor View. Once there no place to park garage is closed. We walk in the dark up to hospital only to be told at the door only one person can go in. The other has to wait out side. It is fourth five degrees out. Stating someone should have told us. I understand you as a medical hospital are still under COVID precautions but this is absolutely absurd. We were tested and screened and wearing masks. His mom and him have been through so much and need support not to mention what I go through every day. So I sit in my car in the dark in Seattle while all this could have been avoided. Where is your sense of compassion? Shame on you! Shame on how you treat people! I drove them. What about mom’s & dads. To bad only one can be with their child? What about her she has three and if my mom did not watch the other two you would make them wait in the car? Shame on you!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Was in harborview for stomach pains withering in pain....was 13 hours refused bathroom breaks and no food whole time.. was accused of wanting dope.. Had almost died FROM food poisoning as was treated like criminal for 13 hours

that creepy Xmas tree in your attic | Aug 12, 2022

They accuse everybody of wanting drugs which is EXACTLY what they need...People in pain want pain relief DUH. Then again junkies often blame everyone else but themselves so regular folks gotta suffer (regular folks including recovered addicts!) I guess the most important thing is you survived which is always something to be appreciative of! PS: this happened to me at Harborview with much worse treatment. I was left in tthe hallway for 24 hrs while projectile vomiting and being accosted by a naked Vietnam Vet. When I finally saw a Dr passes I begged for help I actually grabbed the doctors hand (gently) and wept for his help I have never seen a pair of colder eyes to this to this day. Never. There was nothing behind those eyes.

Is Harborview currently allowing visitors? My husband will be transferred there tonight and we live 2 1/2 hours away. They say he will be in critical care status when he arrives.

Dana Gates | Aug 11, 2022
Tom Rosen | Aug 12, 2022

Yes, they recently relaxed their visitor policy. Still one visitor per day, but they've extended the visitor hours to 8:00 am to 7:00 pm daily. Sorry you're coming under those conditions..

Ringo Allen | Aug 12, 2022

You will be able to stay with him during recovery and when he's moved to a room, you will be able to accompany him but you should consider going home to rest. You'll need your strength as much as he will. The staff is world class, he"ll be in good hands!

I don't think they "serve" any pain meds. I believe they administer per Dr's instruction. But yes they have access to it as they put me on it even though I thought it was too much. Dr felt after 13 surgeries it would best serve me.

Well I am in emergency, my wife was brought in with a compound fracture of her ankle. The ER is full, and people are waiting a day (8+hrs) to be seen. If your husband has an emergent need for surgery, they will get him in to a room, and in line for surgery.

I am a CLP holder. I checked my firearm in at the ER as requested before my appointment. When retrieving my firearm I was informed this public hospital keeps a data base of all their patients firearms.This is illegal and likely a HIPPA violation.

Indenial W | Aug 11, 2022
ALICIA SPRINGGATE | Aug 12, 2022

You could consult an attorney about the HIPPA issue but I do NOT believe it is a violation. Additionally, they only keep track of the firearms/weapons brought in by patients and visitors (as THIS is illegal!) Yes, it is illegal to bring a firearm/weapon into a hospital, that is why you are asked to check it! If you don't want anyone knowing you carry, DONT carry it to the Hospital or a Government building. Read up on your local laws pertaining to carrying a firearm and use some common sense!

SoCal Punx | Aug 12, 2022

Im sure your wife knows who it was. If possible, ask her. Due to confidentiality and HIPAA regulations no one that your wife didn't know previously would have been allowed to visit her. If your wife was to sign a release of information giving consent to her visitor log that information should be available.
