First of all, Im not even going to start with the fact that if you are having a real emergency, they leave you sitting in the ER for hours upon hours; with no concerns or questions on how you are doing (if you are in horrible pain, or bleeding, or throwing up); and Im talking up to 15 hours (thats how long me and many patients, even dying patients had to wait) Im not the person to leave bad reviews for public places, even if they werent that good of service. I like to leave good and well written reports for hospitals and medical services in my area, but Ive personally never experienced what I just did. The cater to patients was very good, they brought anything you needed to the rooms. My mom has arrived at griffin hospital in terms of a almost heart attack. By what Ive experienced in the past. Im scared that she may come home and have a real heart attack. I say this because they do all these tests on their patients, not to see whats wrong, but to add money on to a bill. I know this because my step brother USED to work there. Most of the time they dont even tell you what is wrong with you. Unless its something obvious like a broken bone. How is it a hospital when they dont do the proper work that hospitals do? If you go to Griffin Hospital, you are most likely to leave there with no money in your pockets. They dont even tell you whats wrong, they first talk about the money. They only half ass do their jobs, just to take patients money. I believe and encountered that they do not care about the patients nor medically help them. They run fake tests or maybe tests you dont need, suggest meds YOU DONT NEED, or wont help your problem, just for the money. No one is really getting taken care of.

I had bad experiences at Bridgeport Hospital with my elderly Moms care, a couple at St.Vincents ER and I didnt know what to do. Because of these experiences they practically just sent her home to die. I took her to Griffin and it was like an oasis of help and support. The doctors went above and beyond to look for answers and do what they could to help her and the nurses were kind and helpful. Unfortunately they said it was too late and she wouldnt last long weeks, months, but something that should have been done in the previous hospitals and wasnt dimmed her chances. I didnt know they had a hospice unit. I didnt want to face it but I had to. They helped me in every way possible and made Moms last days here better than I could have at home. We were treated us so good I felt I was the patient. I always think to write a letter to thank them for being there when no one else was. They reminded me of the way things use to be years ago when people cared more and did their jobs. They made a difference in our lives and I thank them.

Took my almost 2 year old on a sunday evening. He had nursemaids elbow. The kind of thing that you could normally go to an urgent care for but it was late. Plenty of parking, wait time was short. While we were giving our insurance in the ER, the doctor came over and popped his elbow back in so he didnt have to wait longer than necessary. Then we just had to wait a bit to make sure everything was fine. They brought him stickers and and coloring pages to see if he would reach for them which was a cool trick. Every said hi to him when they went by so it wasnt scary for him and we were in and out in a little over a half hour. We are new to the area so I didnt know this hospital exists but will definitely look to use them in the future.

Had a routine hysterectomy with a complication that was handled with utmost care and concern. Later had nephrectomy at Griffin. Both times the staff, nurses, doctors, volunteers were all top notch, super personable and made both surgeries and recoveries as pleasurable as one could hope under the circumstances. On top of that, the manager of the billing department happily worked with me on payment plans. Every person I have interacted with from check in to medical to records have treated me like a person and not a number. I go there for all labs, check ups and procedures. The Planetree model shines at this facility. I couldnt be happier to have Griffin as my local hospital.

On February 22, 2017 I was admitted to Griffin Hospital for a Hip replacement. There are not enough words to describe the genuine show of concern beginning with valet parking, reception staff, right through all involved in the surgery itself. All my questions were answered, all fears set aside. The nurses at recovery made my stay a pleasant experience, the meals were tasty and abundant. The recovery room sparkling clean. The beds is another issue, they were a bit uncomfortable, mind you, I had my hip replaced, so Im taking that into account. I will not hesitate to refer friends and family to Griffin. My thanks to the staff.

I went as my surgeon told me to due to having stage 4 endometriosis Ive been out of work over a week the dr did no testing on me and then told me that I should be getting pain meds from my surgeon them says follow up with my Dr I have appointments scheduled already so I now have to live in miserable unbearable pain until surgery on 9-1-2016 because the Dr here said he would not give me anything for pain let alone a medication to help me stop throwing up as well.... Its not right how they can play with your life based on how they see fit

You did a horrible decision to allow American Adjustment Bureau, Inc to handle account payments. Im not in collection but had to interact with them in order to pay for my husbands copay. These people are not only rude but grossly incompetent. Cant even take a simple payment over the phone. Month later Im getting billed again and treated like a liar and they refuse to take responsibility. You have lost my business and I would rather die in Waterbury Hospital than to deal with these people again.

When you walk into an ER with a pain level of over 10 , 10 being the highest I dont understand why it takes over 2 hours to be treated. My first time there I waited 14 hours before they would see me because I was uninsured.My appendix nearly burst in the waiting room. This time I waited 2 hours to be seen and another 10 before I was admitted to a room. my appendix surgery was 14 years ago the reason I was back this time and a few time before is because they botched it up the first time. beware

Very clean and home like esp for Acute care setting! I was very happy with the many experiences I have had here, Both my boys were born there and the care was tremendous and my wife and boys were very happy. The visits to the ER were less than two hours to be seen and on a friday both times! I must say I was very happy with the care I rec after being very ILL! So YES i say your safe to feel safe there and I have NO horse in this race.
