I am angry with this hospital! My 66 year old mother went in Monday with severe abdominal pain which radiated to her back. They did blood work (which was never discussed I viewed the results on my own on the app). They did a CT scan and kept claiming she has a splenic infarct. They discharged my mother to home a few hours later with a prescription for oxycodone (she does not prefer to take pain pills). When my mother was getting ready to leave the hospital she was still in the same amount of pain that she came in with. They did have her on a Dilaudid IV which is a strong medication for pain. When my mother was trying to get out of the bed to leave she kept stopping in her tracks and grabbing her side in pain. The pain radiated to her back as well. In her hospital summary it said the patient was resting comfortably in bed (which was never the case). They also stated upon reassessment patient was feeling much better( my mother never had any relief). I questioned them multiple times as to why they would discharge her in this condition and all they had to say was well were sending her home with oxycodone. What a shame! The following day the pain got worse and began causing her severe pain upon breathing and ambulation . I do not understand why they would discharge my mother (a woman who avoids hospitals at all cost normally and requested to "have her taken to hospital" because of the amount of pain that she was hurled over. Now two days later her stomach looks like she is 3 months pregnant and pain is still the same. Now she has to wait another week for follow ups because she was told to do so by this emergency department..went to another hospital (UPMC East) and they saw what mckeesport put and said we don't understand why you did not just wait for your follow ups like the last hospital told you to do. How dare you lie in my mother's chart and not give her the proper treatment or further testing. I truly hope and pray nothing bad happens to my mother or you will be further hearing from me. It is a shame the negligence that they can get away with.

If I could give you a zero I would. How dare a nurse accuse my mother in law of currently using, because it's in her charts. That is abuse of the medical charts and malpractice. Called the police on her to go through her things, and she passed a pee test. This woman just beat cancer, and infections having to do with it. She Went to the hospital because she can't breath. Has the Pneumonia and a blockage in her lungs. What the hell would you have done if she left due to mistreatment and something happned to her? You are lucky I don't go to the news. She is someone's mother, aunt, daughter, sister, and grandmother. That nurse should lose her job, because she is working in the wrong area and could abuse another patient again

If you are looking for detox or rehab WARNING!!WARNING!! Do not come. Nurses are lazy and your withdrawal isn't gonna be anywhere as bad as your hunger pains every night. Go to Forbes. AHN.This place a an obomination. A disgrace. If you get covid while staying at the hospital they will immediately discharge you even if you came in without covid.

Worst hospital ever they admit you said you will go home in 2 or 3 days.made me stay 16 days all they did was lie to me on a daily basis the aide was very rude and I wouldn't let nurse Nate take care of anyone I know. If I ever have to go to the hospital againit will not be any UPMC hospitals

Came here for a mammogram and ultrasound... the staff in the imaging center were very friendly, answered all my questions, had great bedside manner, and gave me my results immediately. The hospital is extremely hard to navigate though, so make sure you leave yourself a lot of extra time to get where you're going. I wandered into quite a few wrong areas, and the staff I ran into were all very nice and helpful!

This place only has one good part the outpatient services and UPMC should just turn this hospital into med express and medical center get rid of the ER and whatever observation rooms you have turn them all into Dr offices

If we never visit this place again..it will be too soon. Worst experience ever with a relative..the er is terrible...the nurses were neglectful...eye contact absolutely forbidden...we were put in a room in the er with the curtains closed & lights out, I would turn the lights back on and open the curtain, almost as a reminder ..HEY!!! we are waiting, they would turn OFF THE LIGHT AND PULL THE CURTAIN CLOSED....the ole response "The Dr will be in shortly".....24hrs later.......The Dr. NEVER CAME..he had NO intention of seeing us due to her age ...90.....left to die I assume, the aged are not the priority.....well guess what??? She went on to recover...(covid.).and is 92 still ticking .

Go there at your own peril.Go there if you have a death wish.Staff rude and uncaring, service is substandard, the atmosphere is just plain depressing. Wait time is several hours even if you are dying....This death trap of a hospital should be sued! Please read the reviews, they are real, don't go to this hospital if you value your life. The staff are a bunch of depressing,angry clowns who hate their job and don't know what they are doing! The average wait time here is 5 hours to get any kind of assistance.I hope it shuts down or at the very least, they change management.... some third world hospitals are way better than this place.

NEVER again. Visited yesterday afternoon. I was in due to experiencing excessive amounts of blood in my stool on and off since July (yes, nearly 6 months). I get there and wait and wait and wait. I get put into a room with a disgusting linen on the bed, and had to have it changed. Then they wanted a urine sample without even telling me what they were doing.... They came back probably 45 minutes later to tell me I wasn't pregnant and I didn't have a uti so now I can be discharged. They DID NOTHING for the issue I came in for. Incompetent workers. I asked what exactly they tested my urine for as I'm having issues with my stool. She replies with how they were looking to make sure I didn't have a kidney infection or anything wrong with my urine tract... They prescribed me Zofran for my nausea.. So now here I lay in bed sick to my stomach not knowing why I'm bleeding internally. Good job upmc. I knew there was a reason I stay away from you.

My son was taken here via ambulance and was then transferred without my knowledge. When I called to inquire about his personal belongings I was told that my sin told them to throw it away( clothes, shoes, jacket and phone charger) just know that this is UNACCEPTABLE I mean who would say throw away their clothes in weather like this?! I hope whomever has his stuff really needed it because their actions are ridiculous!!! How can you want patients to feel safe and cared for if you discard their personal belongings and NO my son DIDN'T tell them that!!! So glad he's at a hospital that is safe and keeps his family aware of his situation. Never again.

TRASH- DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL- INEPT, SADISTIC, UTTERLY INCOMPETENT STAFF, STOLE MY PRESCRIPTIONS THAT I BROUGHT WITH ME AND NEVER RETURNED MULTIPLE LIFE-SUSTAINING MEDICATIONS UPON MY DISCHARGE, THEN WHEN I CALLED TO INQUIRE ABOUT SAID MEDICATIONS, I RECEIVED A THREATENING PHONECALL BACK FROM THEIR SECURITY DEPARTMENT ON CHRISTMAS EVE (TODAY). I DON'T EVEN HAVE TIME OR ENERGY TO RECOUNT ALL THE INDIGNITIES, MALPRACTICE, ABUSE, AND SUFFERING I WAS FORCED TO ENDURE DURING MY TIME STAYING IN THIS "HOSPITAL", BUT, suffice it to say, if you have any self-respect or value your health and wellness, AT ALL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID THIS TOXIC "HOSPITAL", UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING ABUSED AND TORTURED BY THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE CHARGED WITH YOUR CARE...

I came in with a friend who needed oxygen while having tests. They had the tank but no tubing. The desk staff was a bit bewildered. The pulmonary guy was at least friendly .
