Galesburg Cottage Hospital

Three weeks into college, I had a concern of appendicitis. I went in, had amazing quality of care. As it was my first ever in patient experience (without my parents present either), it was scary but the nurses and the doctors made sure I was comfortable and even talked to my parents on the phone so everyone was on the same page. Within an hour of the diagnosis of appendicitis, I was in the OR for the surgery.

My mother was admitted this am and the nurses were all very nice and attentive. The er doc was Dr. Knight, he was the most compassionate, caring and understanding physician I have had in helping my elderly mother. She had altered mental status and wasn't exactly very nice and he was calm and very patient with her. He knew it was her medical state and never lost patience. I hope anytime I have to go Dr. Knight and the nurses that were there this am are always there.

I was born in this hospital in 1981. My family lived in this town until 1989, when we moved to Michigan. Been thinking of moving back lately. I miss it. I'm actually in the Galesburg High Class of 2000, but I moved away at a young age. 🙁

I had surgery here and all the staff was great! We have had both our children in the ER for various things and we were always kept informed of what was going on and where things stood as far as getting lab results. Our pediatrician is in the offices there and she is very patient with us and any questions we have. I recommend Cottage hospital to anybody, anyday.

Called the hospital the other day to make an appointment for my son because he was sick and the lade didn't have manners and they didn't want to make him an appointment and give him the shot he need it.
