University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center

At the end of January, 2026, I had knee replacement surgery performed at UM St. Joseph’s hospital and I was treated with the upmost care and compassion. From the moment I arrived until I was assisted into the car to go home, from the nursing staff, assistants, physical therapy, the room leaning folks to the delightful food delivery young woman, everyone had a pleasant yet professional attitude making me feel as if I was the only patient they had to look after. I was in room 612 and my thanks to Cathy, Grace, Charmaine, Stacey, Chris, Heather, Ashley, Kabita, Ashanti, Sonya, Rabitta, Yang, Jakill, Tiffany, and the rest of the unheralded staff on the 6th floor for making my stay at St. Joe’s a pleasant one. And the food was outstanding, on time and hot, well presented with a smile! Once agai

I am writing this review out of frustration and pain. Yesterday I fell and broke my shoulder. I went to St Josephs because I trusted them. They did xrays and a CT scan and it is definitely broken. The pain is intense. They told me I would need surgery and then they sent me home on a Friday afternoon knowing I wouldn't be treated for several days. Then to top it off I asked for a pain med that I know works for me without horrible side effects. They talked me into a med I knew I was allergic too. The medication caused a terrible headache and the itching was absolutely miserable so on top of my pain that this medication did nothing for I had nausea from my headache and severe itchiness. I am so disappointed in my treatment. Who sends someone home with a broken shoulder and they say " good lu

Very disappointed in my experience with booking this appointment. My mom went to see Dr Carmen and recommended that I see this “amazing” Black obgyn. She told me this at the end of last year I had to wait weeks to schedule an appointment because it was so booked. It’s was finally scheduled for December. I’m thinking Wowww very popular and in high demand. However I’m very disappointed and upset that I was told to reschedule to March 11. Well on today I was notified that my long awaited appointment was canceled again and I’ll need to reschedule. I’m not sure I want to continue with booking Dr Carmen. It’s my first time booking an obgyn. I need go to Atlanta and visit Dr Simone or Dr Jackie. It might be quicker. I love supporting Black doctors but this it’s very unfortunate and discouraging.

I just had my first baby last November here and VERY highly recommend it – their Mother-Baby Unit is absolutely amazing, took great care of me, my partner and our baby for the first few days after birth. We had all of our ultrasounds here as well, appreciated their updated technology, loved the string of pictures they gave us to take home every time! The hospital also offers some free classes for learning about birth and childcare as well as some that were really affordable (less than $100 per couple). We were a part of a Centering group of 7 couples expecting around the same time, all delivered safely at this hospital. Just recently we all met up for the first time since delivering and everyone was praising the Mother-Baby Unit! What a blessing it was. Thank you, St. Joe's! We are eternal

It all started on Nov 09 2025, with a surprise finding of Pancreatic cancer. I was put in touch with Dr Mark Fraiman. He and the St Joseph's staff ,from that point forward were my life line. From the initial meet and greet thru the surgery and recovery, I was treated with the utmost respect. We had a hiccup in the surgery, which was addressed and taken care of. Making the surgery a much harder one but better for me in the long run. I'm am now cancer free. Without the expert care of all my Doctors, Nurses, PT, and everyone else. I think I'd have lost my mind. As I go back through the names that were implanted in my mind from beginning to end of recovery. I find everyone of them offered something unique and special to their profession. I express my deepest Thanks and hugs to all of them.
