Dornbecker Childern Hospital. Portland Oregon. When my stepson committed sucide and the medics brought him back they took him to McMinnville and then to Dornbecker Portland. The Cafe at Dornbecker is open 24/7 and will make you just about anything you want to order hot an fresh. A great place to go while we have to wait with no control of our lives. The boy recovered. But either way the food and service were and Hospital Staff were great. Also lovely Views as it is built on the side of a mountain. Like Seattle, Portland is very hilly.

Tufts New England Medical is the best hospital I have ever been to. I had eye surgery there last year and was amazed at the great care I got. My doctor is great and the surgery was very successful.

I left Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary because I didn't like my doctor and I was getting worse. I got a second opinion from a doctor who didn't take my insurance any longer and he recomended NEMC. He Was so right!!

I know ME&E has a great reputation and they do great work but I personally had a terrible experience there. I was humiliated a number of times in front of people when I had some insurance problems and in general--treated rudely and by office staff. My doctor talked AT me not TO me like I didn't have a brain. A very dehumanizing experience.

The best hospitals I have been to had personal that spent most of their time looking after patients instead of chatting to each other or watching TV.

Our family has consistently had excellent care at Milford/Whitinsville Regional Hospital in Milford, MA. When our daughter went into premature labor they were immediately transferred to UMASS Memorial in Worcester, where she and the baby received excellent care. Knowing they were not equipped for this type of delivery the Milford Hospital made the decision that was best for the patient. KUDOS to the staff.

M.G.H. and Spaulding Rehab, together these two hspitals work miracles, they are underrated by Bostoniansbut recognized worldwide.

South Shore Hospital" I was very sick & was being treated @ another Hospital They could not figure me out until I was so sick I was in the fetal position in so much pain w/ right facial paralysis. My wife promptly took me to the Doctor & asked to be admitted to a different Hospital & That night I believe Dr Kenneth Lawson if I remember correctly back in 1998, saved my life. Thankyou SSH Dr Lawson & Dr Geller . Grateful forever JFK

Sincerely JK

The best care i have ever got in a hospital was NEMC.I myself went to South Shore 2 years ago one moring at 3am for inturnal bleeding i was takin by abulance there even after i asked to be takint to NEMC they refused it took South Shore hospital 13 hours after i arrived there to bring me into the operating room all they keep doing was pushing morfine the whole time not that it help at all i was in so much pain even at one point they started to take me to a ambulance to transfer me to NMEC but then pulled me back and had me wait...I hope that they make some kind of changes to there care and that the ambulances start to take people to the hospital they ask to go to...I have been to many hospitals in Mass.but over all MEMC is one of the better ones....

I think if people who go to the e.r. could just understand that it is not a first come first sevre type place, there would be less angry people waiting to be seen. I agree it is not like a deli, otherwise there would be a number dispenser inside the doors. There is no VIP treatment in ER's everyone is seen according to the severity and urgency of their problem,which is determined by the triage nurse. This is (or should be) a qualified r.n. who determines who needs to go in next. Also patients should not be encouraged to "look in the ambulance bay" to see how many ambulances are out there...next thing you know you'll be flooded with unecessary non-urgent 911 calls if they think they wont have to wait if they arrive via ambulance. All non-emergencies will only be sent out to the waiting room anyway. I don't think people should be discouraged from going to the e.r. though...everyone has a right to go if they feel they need to, just don't have unrealistic expectations and trust your instincts and speak up if you truely feel your not receiving proper attention.
