UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center

Please note my experience before prioritizing your own medical needs. We’ve had 2 ER visits for the same issue within one week. This is an incredibly slow hospital. There is no prioritization for emergencies. At a blood pressure of 198/109 (and elevating) when we arrived at the ER, that should be considered a medical emergency (a possible heart attack or stroke) but it wasn't. We arrived at 745pm and were not treated until 1230a and then we waited again. And that was after explaining our issue to the four different stations you visit before any treatment is administered. It wasn't until I brought up to one of many nurses (that listen to you but don't execute on anything they say they will do) that no one was monitoring the blood pressure. At 545a the next morning, I had to ask for my Mom t

My son & I arrived by ambulance, both vomiting & the care we received from the entire team in the Pediatrics Dept. & Pediatric ER was absolutely outstanding. For 5–6 days, everyone provided compassionate, attentive & professional care, keeping us together the whole time. It truly felt like a 5-star experience! Special thanks to LaLa (Peds Nursing Supervisor), Dr. A., Shanell (RN), Dr. Thomas, Janie Liang (Resident, MD), Danielle, Damiya Williams, the Dietary Dept. for the great meals & the nursing entire team who made our hospital stay exceptional.

This is the worst place to go for an emergency. I went there yesterday for severe abdominal pain. Waited for 2.5 hrs just to finally get them to get to registration and take my $300.00 co pay. After another hr. Name gets called from behind this massive kiosk they decided to put in the middle of the emergency room. Which by the way, all the employees are openly complaining about. Walk around to the other side. Nobody can say why my name was called. Then a older lady nurse walks around and says sit here to have blood drawn. After she decided to take the lady after me first. I sat there for another 20 minutes. Than she decides to take someone who literally just walked over from registration and starts taking her blood. Enough was enough. I decided to leave after her saying I was next for the

The ER experience and outpatient experience has been terrible. First, expect to get triaged from the waiting room now. I understand the lack of rooms and availability but still very unfortunate for people who are in terrible pain. Also should mention, the waiting room is filthy and the chairs smell like urine. My fiance came in with a severe herniated disc pushing on his spinal cord and was told he needed immediate surgery first thing in the morning. After 12 hours in the waiting room, we were finally taken to an ER triage room and were told not to eat after midnight. The surgeon, Dr. Solomon, comes strolling into the triage room at 10am saying he wants to wait until Friday to see if the disc will heal on its own. Mind you, my fiance is on around the clock pain medication just to manage th

Dont bother to coming to this ER. You can only have 1 person come back with you.All of the rooms in the ER, DON'T HAVE BEDS, ONLY CHAIRS for the patients to sit in. Never in my life have I been in an emergency room, at a hospital, that didn't have beds, so i had to improvise. This place is cheap and absurd. The staff isn't that friendly, the floors look like they haven't been mopped in years. The TV is so small, what's the point in having 1 in here.
