Bad experience! I drove my husband 2 1/2 hours because I heard Barnes was a good professional place to get help. Our hometown did not have the services to help my husband that is why we made this trip to Barnes Hospital ER. The ER was very small and smelled like wet dog. I was very disappointed in the way the personnel treated us and the services was not professional at all. The gentleman that was checking my husband in kept his back towards us while asking questions. Very rude. My husband was having problems walking and in extruciating pain and we waited over four hours and never was called back to see a doctor. Never got the help my husband badly needed. I will never recommend this hospital to anyone.
Came here because a family friend who works for BJC recommended it, but if you know whats good for you or your loved ones youll stay as far away from this dumpster fire as possible. I came to the ER because I was feeling fatigued and had a lot of random bruises. Everything was fine at first. Went through triage, no problem, but it was downhill from here on out. I had to wait 2 hours before getting lab work done to determine what was wrong with me. From here I had to wait another 4 hours just to get admitted. Then I had to wait another 3 hours just to be stuck in a room with a schizophrenic roommate who wouldnt leave me alone. Nevermind Im in immense pain and just want to get some rest. After being transferred to a second room and having an equally problematic roommate Ive broken down and written this post. They didnt even warn me about this. I just want rest. Why would you not tell your patients upfront that they cant expect privacy or even a chance at rest. This is easily the worst hospital Ive ever been admitted to by a long shot. I dont care how nice or experienced every other staff member is, the whole room system is unfair and wrong. Just go to Mercy instead.
Ive got to say NEVER I MEAN NEVER GO TO BARNES ER. 6 hours. 6 HOURS. Hadnt seen doc. Did manage to get lab drawn. Guy PUT in iv needle. When lab being drawn. Hubby came back out. I told him that iv needle NOT IN VEIN. Im a nurse I know what a good IV site looks like U could tell the guy flushed needle with a small amt of saline and it puffed right up. Which means it was NEVER in the correct place. Later we told a nurse she flushed and said nope not in a vein. So what guy did was he knew he had to put one in He just didnt care it wasnt in a vein. Wow. Really professional. They told us at least another hour. We said 6 hours long enough. So when leaving to get car. Went up to 2 big security guards behind the desk said Need my parking ticket validated they said need discharge paper. I said we dont have them. He says forget it. AT which time I got pretty loud and said we were here 6 hours thats long enough. Now picture this. The third big security guy jumped right up to join the other two big guys to face me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME Told them wed never coming back there they said good lol. Im sure they got that response from a class on how to deal with the public in a professional way. LOSERS the whole problem is the triage We did the right thing we went to our primary who told us to go there she did not have direct admit privileges or he would have been a direct admit He had been hospitalized 2 times in last couple months for sepsis with no answers so primary thought Barnes could figure Out For those patients with an acute problem who have tried office visit should be put on the list first before 99% of the patient who use ER for office visits we were there short time saw triage nurse then it took over 2 hours to get registered Then another hour before the guy took him back to be labs and put in the bad IV and leave it in In those 2 hours saw only 3 people called back for labs This is a big hospital can not figure out y they dont staff enough ER docs to handle these patients From the reviews this is an every day experience AGAIN WILL NEVER GO THERE they r chasing away patients who have insurance Not good business
I havent been to a hospital yet where the staff has been so wonderful and compassionate. My loved one was flown here for emergency neurosurgery. When the surgeon Dr. Albert Kim came and briefed us on the surgery we could tell that he was extremely invested in his work. This man was so brilliant and so humble. We couldnt have wished for a better person to do this job. I cannot stress how amazing and this man was. The rest of the staff were upbeat, helpful, and compassionate. We trusted them completely with the care of our loved one. Ive been to this hospital a few times and my experience has always been five stars.
Outstanding hospital with easy and affordable parking, amazing staff, and spectacular care. The hospital is so beautiful and is a great place to be at, whether you are a patient, employee, or a visitor. Amazing views from rooms. The only thing to complain about is the poor communication between nurses/doctors/staff members. Seemed that they weren't very communicative with each other.
