Adventist GlenOaks Hospital

Wow, what a total disappointment, I bring my daughter here with a 101.1, fever, trowing up and stomach pain. These idiots classify her as soar throat. Wtf!!! Waiting for over an hour.

Worst hospital ever so rude and with no class especially ERIN the: RN talk about having no manners just a simple hi or how you guys doing nothing what so ever if she hates her job she shouldn’t be there I was amazed at the poor service we were getting there will not return would rather drive to Mexico to see a doctor out there then return back very disappointed

My 92 year old father was admitted to this hospital following a fall. The doctors and nurses were some of the most compassionate, caring people I have ever met. The doctors spent a lot of time with us answering all questions. We never felt confused or hurried. I wish I could remember the names of all the nurses that were so kind. Everything possible was done to make my father as comfortable as possible. The staff here helped us through a very difficult time.

I needed to get into the wound care center right away; they were the only facility in my insurance network (bcbsil choice/​select ppo) that were willing to get me in this soon.
I am amazed with how caring and generous all the the staff is. I came in contact with three receptionists, two nurses and one doctor; all of them were so sweet, helpful and caring.
When I arrived I came in though the main entrance. A woman in the wound center took the time to walk all the way across the building to find me and show me how to get there, I didn’t even ask for this, she was just nice a did it on her own. She walked me back after I saw the doctor too.
The nurses and doctor took their time with me, nothing was rushed. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. I couldn’t possibly be more impressed with a hospital unless they welcomed me with lol. I’m sou thankful I found a good place to help me.
I HIGHLY recommend Adventist Glen oaks hospital.

There a few good doctors and I felt my husband received appropriate care in the ICU. However, the ER experience was not good nor the inpatient when not in ICU. I spent the first night with him because I was concerned after the ER experience. The nurses followed another patient outside and locked themselves out of the hospital. The manager of ICU asked about our experience in ICU which I replied was the only time I felt my husband was in good hands. She said she would have the manager of ER call me but I never heard from her. It took several days for them to diagnose a stroke and I’m still not sure if its because strokes don’t always show up right away on CT scan (can’t have MRI due to pacemaker) or because they were incompetent.

I’ve visited the Radiology Dept. twice and both times was made to feel at ease during the procedures. Wait time was minimal. The sonogram and mammogram techs are great.

Nurses are really nice but they seem a little sad when they’re not talking with their patients.
I talked to one of the doctors, and he gave special care to my aunt. Wish they were more friendly that’s all — the nurses at least.

Avoid this hospital at all cost. They have poor patient care and no predicate endocrinology. We had to be transferred to Central DuPage Hospital. We had to walk ourselves out the door. No help to smooth the transfer. The doctor and nurse were clueless how to treat people right.

My 4 month old spiked a fever out of the blue one night. It was 103 and rising even with tylenol. We brought her to the closest hospital. She screamed and cried the entire time. To start the doctor came in chewing and eating food every time he came in the room. He wouldnt answer any of my questions with an actual answer and was talking down to us as if we might be below him because he was a doctor.
We were there 4 hours and they couldn’t tell us what was wrong. My babies temp hopped up to 104.2! There was one other person as a patient there and the doctor only came in the room 3 times for a total of maybe 6 minutes. The nurses came in a few times but only to check her temperature or draw blood. After blood draw they needed a urine sample from my daughter but due to her age, that meant a catheter!
My spouse and I were almost full panicking. They took countless tries, 4 nurses, and more than 30 minutes of brutally pinning my baby down to a table and poking at her privates trying to insert the catheter! WITHOUT SUCCESS! My husband had to leave the room and I finally made them stop and requested they called an ambulance and we had to go to a different hospital. The doctor was so rude about it he told us we could be putting her at greater risk! All that jerk did was chew in our faces and look in my kids ears! For 4 hour there! My baby was clearly struggling! And getting worse! They gave her more tylenol and we left for the other hospital 20 minutes away. Mysteriously the blood work they did take had never been processed and the new hospital we went to needed it to better diagnose my daughter. I’m so Glad we left that hospital because the new place we went was professional kind and did a catheter for my daughter within 30 seconds! It took ONE NURSE NOT FOUR! She hardly cried. Moral of the story? Just because it’s close doesn’t mean it’s any good! Demand excellence people! Especially for health care for your kids! This place is a joke. The nicest guy there was the janitor! He sat with my concerned angry husband who had to go outside because the entire unit was filled with echos of our babies cries! that man Gave my husband his brand new pack of smokes and told him God is with our daughter and she will be OK. Thank you Mr janitor I wish I knew your name. You helped us a lot and kept my husband calm. He had more bedside manner than the verified medical staff! AVOID THIS PLACE AND DRIVE THE EXTRA 5 – 10 MINS TO ALEXIAN BROTHERS OR CENTRAL DUPAGE!

WORST HOSPITAL EVER!!! (PLEASE AS A MOM DONT COME HERE & DELIVER YOUR BABY HERE PLEASE!!!
My son was born here on Aug 12,2013 8:16pm. When i got there i felt something inside of me that i had to leave bt didnt. The doctor that delivered him couldn’t take him out. He was having arguments with the nurses, he kept cutting me over & over till he had use a vacuum. That freaking machine didn’t work till he use another one finally hes out didn’t breath. That was on MONDAY they waited till Wednesday to transport him to another that has NICU because they can’t be watching him… Glen Oaks should’ve of done a C-​section. BT NO. when he got to Hinsdale hospital on Wednesday (DOCTORS) TOLD me an my husband that he has blood clots in his brain they were NOT sure if he was going to survive or not! My baby boy wasn’t breathing right having seizers. I felt I was dying inside of me:():… That’s the worst thing ever… HINSDALE IS THE BEST ONE BETTER THEN GLEN OAKS HOSPITAL. RIGHT away from Hinsdale they air lifted him to children comer hospital… BT what glen oaks did should’ve of pay more attention done it right mostly like to the doctor!!! I will never in my life come here. I wish I could give O STARS.

I would risk traveling 10 miles further and risk death than go to this hospital. If they have a doctor that works ER than they keep them a secret. Ir the ambulance driver says they have to take you here say no and insist on Alexian Bros unless you are willing to risk dying from the wait in their ER.

I had a patient go there with neurologic issues. they gave her good care, but changed her meds without calling her primary care doctor. then they forced her to take a med that didnt work for her. then they called in the wrong med to the pharmacy. epic fail

ER service was awesome!
Overnight stay was :-(
Made formal complaint to hospital about doctor yelling.

My son had an emergency appendectomy over the Thanksgiving holiday and they were the best. Took great care and handled everything so well that he was able to leave the following day. Thanks again to the great staff but hopefully we will not have to see you in 2012 except for a visit…

This hospital is horrible. Extremeley unprofessional and I do not recomend it. Do not go to this hospital.

This is a tiny hospital at the end of a residential street — easy to miss. It’s part of the Adventist Midwest Health system (GlenOaks, Hinsdale Hospital, LaGrange Memorial and in 2007 they will add Bolingbrook Hospital). I found the hospital staff friendly, and it’s small enough inside to navigate easily. The only drawback is that it isn’t as well equipped as other, larger centers — it’s a basic, community hospital.
I had a great sonographer here — he was French and a former nurse, also employed by a neonatology group, so he did quite a few studies on women with high-​risk pregnancies. Very cool and a good sense of humor.
The billing/​accounts department is also staffed with nice people — thanks!
