John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County Sleep Disorders Laboratory

The staff here tries their best, but it is obvious that the state and city need to allocate more funds to this hospital. We deserve better treatment and better access to care in general. Our society cannot be healthy without access to healthcare.

Firstly & foremost DO NOT COME HERE. My godfather was a patient at John H. Stroger Hospital, and the care he received was deeply disappointing and painful for our family to witness. During both the day and night, the nurses repeatedly failed to provide proper care or attentiveness. Even while I was physically present, I saw long periods where his needs were ignored and basic care was not prioritized. It is extremely hurtful to know that we trusted this hospital and its staff with my godfather’s well-being, only to watch him go without the compassion and care every patient deserves. Nurses are there to do a job that directly affects people’s lives, and in this case, that responsibility was not upheld. No family should have to worry whether their loved one is being properly cared for, especially during such a vulnerable time. Our experience at this hospital left us feeling heartbroken, frustrated, and let down.

Went in the ER because I wasn't feeling well. Waited 4 hours to be treated, but when I tell you they had the best medical attitude. The wait was worth it. I was checked for every possible thing. I'm now under care for my situation. The nurses was good but the ER doctors were fantastic. Payed attention to all my concerns. Now my bill is outrageous but my health is worth it.

Hands down worst hospital I have ever been to. Staff is very uneducated! How are you an RN setting supplies on the top of the garbage can and think you’re going to use them umm ma’am I think not! Everyone seems mad to be at work too. It’s veryyyy dirty! You will wait forever n get a prescription for Tylenol. My tooth broke and they gave me Tylenol like their whole career and the schools attended can be thrown in the garbage. Maybe if they were not so busy laughing and giggling at the nurses station they would be more knowledgeable. I will NEVER be back and spread the word this is not the care, lack of, anyone deserves. Don’t waste your time. If I hear someone say they work there it will discredit them and the school they attended! Update: now today I stop here to allow my mother with Dementia to use the bathroom they refuse her a toilet. I parked in the 10min parking so she would not have an accident being the restroom is directly inside the door behind the desk and an officer said I cannot park there or I will be ticketed and towed. I told him I will be done before ten minutes limit and all spaces were empty. He said to park behind the police car and put my flashers on so way less safe of an option but ok I did as I was not asking for a ticket. I was told she is not allowed to use a toilet! I hate I even had to come back and was in passing when her need occurred. This hospital is worse than I thought it is truly inhumane. I had to make a big crazy deal just to use a toilet!

Over the past six weeks I have taken my neighbor to the emergency room to clinic appointments. She’s had surgery and her other clinic appointment today. I have nothing but good things to say about this Hospital. The staff is so friendly. They go out their way to ask if you’re OK do you need directions? I have never experienced this anywhere. I’ve been before to this extent I did not think my experience. Would be anything close to this.. it is a teaching hospital, but whatever the reason if you can, Call, if you can qualify to go, please don’t hesitate. Don’t be afraid the doctors and surgeons are top notch. The cafeteria was OK there is a Jimmy John’s, Starbucks, and Chick-fil-A across the street. They even have heaters in the overhang when you first coming up to the hospital it was cold and snow on the first day when we first came and the heaters would greatly appreciated
