Emergency Medicine
Please remember that the Emergency Room should not be used as a COVID-19 Testing Site. If you have been exposed to COVID or if you have only mild symptoms, please utilize one of the many COVID-19 testing sites available in New Jersey.
The New Jersey Department of Health provides details for more than 100 testing sites and is available by clicking the link: DOH website
Obtaining your COVID-19 testing at one of these dedicated sites will help reduce the strain on all the over-burdened Emergency Departments in New Jersey.

TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- My dads experience with the ER room at Saint Michael’s was 5 out 5 stars…Grateful for all doctors and stuff but in special RN Jasmine and transporter Marisol Gonzales both was very efficient and professional. They just made my dad visit by their lovely way to treat the patients. His waiting time was long. However, we got there at Night Shift, and had to get a CT Scam and in order to get the results, took us a little bit of time. They were all the time checking him and explaining what was happening. He felt very comfortable throughout the entire visit. Thank you so much!! God Bless every single of you guys out there, working hard to save our lives.
- I had a wonderful experience on 8/21/23. I was there for cataract surgery. The whole staff was on the money, from the time I walked in, until I left the facility. I witnessed the staff working together, everyone on the same page WOW. Enjoyed my time there, coming back in the near future for more surgery. Just want to say Thank-You for taking such Good Care of me during my 1 day surgery. Peace and Love to all of you,
- Best rest I've had in weeks! Came through the Emergency Department and was seen in less than 10 minutes. Staff has been as awesome and attentive as possible. Had to be admitted unfortunately but they've been very thorough.
The food is what it is. Regular style hospital food. I've had better...I've had MUCH worse. 3 out of 5. More important than food was the staff and every single one of them was great. I even loved helping the student doctors. If you aren't too sick, take some time to answer their questions too (trust me, they'll ask you as many as you let them!) because you never know!
