TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- ER desk staff was so nice despite some obnoxious clientele. The ER nurses took good care of my brother after being airlifted from a bad accident. ICU is caring for him well now. It's not a beautiful place, but its clear they know what they're doing there, and that's comforting.
- The nurses and doctors at this hospital care about their patients and do all they can to find solutions to the patients medical issues. I personally have been sick most of my life. I got admitted to Harborview after a visit with my Kidney team. I was taken directly to the ER where they treated me with kindness and compassion (which I do not get at all from my home hospital). I was admitted and the inpatient team of doctors and nurses are absolutely amazing. I would recommend this hospital to anyone who wants to be treated like they matter.
- My Daughter admitted in February for a really bad infection. It was life threatening and if not for Harborview amazing Doctors and nurses in the ICU Ashe would not be here today. A big shout out to a nurse in ICU James ( can’t remember his last name) you’re her guardian angel thank you so much for your amazing work
