My mom is currently in this hospital the second time this year and this place is horrible. It's hard to get a nurse to talk to you and they never call you back or anything. They promised my mom a wheelchair or a very least a walker but they never gave it to her and they complain that she should be walking around. Ok but maybe provide her a walker then? Now my mom is completely immobile and starting to show early signs of possible Alzheimer's or dementia some being hospitalized in February.
She was doing great til then though although she had mobility issues. Now she has issue after issue after issue Look I understand that it's a pandemic but this place should do a better job and call their loved ones daily. EDITED unfortunately my mom passed away under their care. Never bring your loved ones here

My sister stayed at the hospital for a week. She had hard time breathing and was brought to the emergency. She had some tests and also an angiogram done. The doctors never come to tell her/us the outcome of the tests. Yes we asked several times and her nurse told her/us, that's all I know. A day before her discharge, she was told that she had diastolic heart failure. Nobody told her or anyone of us being with her all the time, that she had also an artery blocked 50% and that she had a mild heard attack. We found all the information from her personal cardiologist that she visited later. I strongly urge nobody, nobody to go to Weiss memorial hospital. One of the worst hospital in the Chicago area.

Doctor G in podiatry is awesome. I see him for treatment often and hes always a good listener teacher and never has me cancel a visit. Big props to him and the crew in foot care! Thank you Weiss for saving my foot!

Great doctors, but the facility is a mess and calling them regarding any kind of billing or clarification is dreadful. Many numbers on the site or in their own phone directories are disconnected. Asking questions about surgery prep and where to go was also frustrating during the pandemic due the issue above. Good luck ever calling these folks. Edit: rep called me and they were able to address my concerns.

Gotta agree with the bad reviews on here. This is not one of the better hospitals in Chicago area. Staff aren't great, they will send you bills when they shouldn't and waste your time because they don't know how to code things properly. Also what large hospital doesn't have a patient portal so that you can login and get access to your own medical records? Instead you have to go there or fax over paperwork and wait for them to release your own records to you. What a hassle. Numerous better hospitals and specialty clinics out there.

I had surgery at Weiss at the end of 2021, and while no one wants to have surgery, the staff at Weiss made it as pleasant of an experience as possible. From the front desk staff to the nurses to the anesthesiologists, everyone at Weiss was friendly, patient, and caring. It was clear they had my health and best interests in mind.
