Seems the place needs an update. Walls and floors just old and look dirty. Everything could just be cleaner. Staff was courteous. All my nurses seemed to care well for me. Explain things and made me feel comfortable.

I recently had to go to the ER and every nurse and doctor was amazing! The waiting room took a minute, but after I was admitted and taken into a room, I felt that they took great care of me! My doctors were a short red-haired woman and a taller brown-haired woman. I don't have their names, but they were exceptional! They reassured me and went above and beyond with assuring that I was okay! I would definitely come here again in the event that I need to go to the ER again!

I had an amazing experience for my outpatient surgery. I came in and the facility was clean, comfortable, it was truly a relaxing experience before going back. The nurses were so attentive and pleasant. I did feel a tad rushed to be released. I was still dizzy coming off the medicine and I was told to get dressed 20 minutes after getting to the recovery room. Could not have asked for more other then that slight bump at the end.

I have been to Candler ER twice in the last three months and have received excellent care! I was nervous about going because of Covid and the possibility of having to wait forever to be seen, but I actually was in and out in less than two hours on both occasions. The staff were professional and very courteous, showing a lot of personal care and empathy for my situation. Thank you so much! Great job!

One star is one to man. this is my second bed experience. The employees most of all clinical staff or uncaring and rude. Maybe because of fatigue burn out I don't know. What can I say I won't be coming back I won't bring my loved ones here. Saint Joseph is supposed to be a faith based hospital. And it's very far from it I think Saint Joseph should change their symbol and name.
But when you have millions and millions of dollars in donations backing you I guess people like me don't matter. I watched as people came into the emergency room it seems like their job was to turn people away diagnosed them is not being a emergency without checking them not even getting their names not even caring how sad this is what we have come to.
