Erie County Medical Center

we came to trauma care from Canada, the care my husband received was absolutely wonderful, everyone was so attentive, competent and caring. There was no lying in the hall waiting for care, staff were kind , considerate and caring and we cannot say enough how impressed and pleased we are with the care he received. Even waiting in the waiting room while they worked on him, the staff kept me informed and the wait was not that long before I was allowed into the room where he was. The hospital was so clean and everyone did their best to help when ever we had a request. The nurses were there whenever the bell was rung, we did not wait hours for a nurse, doctors came to the room daily and we received a written report with the results of his CT scan, that is unheard of in Canada. His nurses on the 12th floor were sweet and so helpful, actually everyone was wonderful. We are so thankful that the EMT took him to your hospital because he got excellent care, from past experience in our country we know he would not have gotten that degree of care here. We are so thankful, cannot say enough how thankful and impressed we are and just want to let you know that we appreciate the care received. Richard and Dale Berry, Ridgeway Ontario

Very good for trauma, but average at best for other maladies. The ER wait time is unreal, especially if you get admitted yo the hospital. I once had a cardiac emergency there and once they semi-stabilized me (they still couldn't maintain my blood pressure at an acceptable level) I laid on a gurney for just over hours waiting to get a bed on a medical floor for further treatment. And this wasn't my first time getting stuck in the ER for so long. Hopefully once they build the new ER this will no longer be as much of a problem. The doctors are so-so, but the RN's are absolutely wonderful and caring folks.

Most of the nurses were more like angels then they were people just doing their job. The resident doctors seemed to be doing their jobs adequately and cared about my well being.

The worst place on earth! Want to climb a mountain? Find support, don’t become a zombie. Four years later, this is still the worst and most traumatic experience of my life. When friends in residency say it is their goal not to end up there themselves, you know it’s true.

Amazing place! I've had 2 major surgeries there and recently suffered heart issues and the E.R. staff saved my life! Bless you all!!!
