TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- I had a recent surgery done at this hospital. From the moment I stepped in the morning of the surgery to the discharge was the best hospital experience I ever had. The staff was so polite at the main entrance and all through the day. My heartfelt THANKS! to all the nurses who helped and assisted at every step and the recovery nurse who had to put up with the questions I was asking under anesthesia grogginess repeatedly and she kept replying patiently. Before the procedure, all my anxiety faded away with their friendliness and smiles. I feel so lucky to have the absolute best doctor who did a wonderful job on my procedure, am so happy and relieved. I don't have any words to thank him besides he has given me a new life and I can not repay in this lifetime. They make an exceptional workforce at the IU Methodist where I had the procedure done. Efficient, courteous and knowledgeable team exceeded all my expectations. Keep up the excellent work guys and a huge THANK YOU! I will highly recommend this hospital to anyone.
- IU Health has worked with me these past three months to get my brain working as it should. I'm breathing better than I did before my accident. I'm sleeping better than I can ever remember - and we're still working on more. I have started to have a healthy view of myself mentally and physically. I'm exercising more and have begun to look at food through a therapeutic lens. I'd love to take all the credit, but if it weren't for the doctors, nurses, physical therapists, lab workers, and the rest of the staff, I would most likely still be walking around in a fog, not sleeping, not eating right, and angry. Thanks, IU Health, for giving me the chance to be a better version of myself. Love!
- I had fantastic care here when I was in the Emergency Room. All of the ER Doctors, ER Nurses and ER support staff were friendly, polite, and able to help me with my needs at the time. I will always trust IU Methodist for all of my medical needs.
