TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- I was having a long day and back to back appointments. My last appointment was at gynecology clinic. Mrs Regina Bedell from registration gave me a pen since my birthday was around the corner. She went out of her way and unknowingly made my day so much better! She went above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and welcomed. She also did her best at communicating with the Spanish speaking patients. Being kind and understanding is great patient service!
- I must commend Charlotte from the Discharge Team for her immaculate cleaning, sanitizing and attention to detail.
The room was filthy. Charlotte cleaned everything top to bottom, flipped over the bed, cleaned the top of cabinets and light fixtures, underneath things, she clearly takes pride in her work. Period.
- Cook County Hospital is the only Hospital to touch me, of course Cook County Hospital going to get some bad reviews, because the people in the Hospital they hired for intakes. But the Nurses and the Doctors have a big heart about people health once the examine you. They make sure everything go right with you. I am a 68yr old woman, at 4 years old, Cook County Hospital will not let me leave out of their hospital, after I got hit by a truck until I can walk right and think right. They kept me in there for a whole year until I am normal. So you people who come there for the first time, for your problems after covid-19 in 2020, giving Cook county a bad review at the intake of your problems at the front desk are not your issue. Cook county is my rate of 10pt. above any hospital,
