I went to Methodist Southlake and experienced expert care...I requested referral to an alcohol detox or rehab, and was transferred by ambulance to Methodist Northlake. When I arrived with the EMTs I requested to put on socks before I stepped on the floor, the nurse said, "youll be okay," and the EMT said, " she would just like the socks." The socks were about 3 feet away from the nurse, but she still refused and made me walk even further on the filthy floor barefoot. I was later informed that I only had one available time to brush my teeth or take a shower, so I went a full day without brushing my teeth or taking a shower, when I regularly take 2 showers a day. When I did take a shower, there were pubic hairs from the previous person in the room, and when I addressed my concerns to the charge nurse Veronica, she said, "when have you ever been to a hotel that was perfectly clean." I said, "Yea, I dont know but I get what your saying." The truth is that I have never been to a hotel with pubic hair left over. I also had bugs crawling around in my bathroom and in the hallways on a daily basis. When I addressed this to staff, they said that the department was an "add on to the hospital and we are lucky that it is only bugs." The unit I was in was supposed to be "structured" with a schedule, but each "group" was off schedule and lasted about 5-15 minutes, and no one was competent to actually meaningfully participate because they were either so drugged or just delirious. Medications were not appropriated at consistent times. It depended on whenever the nurses were done gossiping, talking about R.Kelly, Love and Hip Hop, deciding what they wanted for lunch, or listening to inappropriate rap and hip hop songs. None of it was appropriate for a therapeutic environment. They listened to rebel music and during quiet times I was forced to listen to the nurses music ON BLAST. I was threatened at breakfast by a patient that he would kill me, that I should kill myself, and that if he saw me he would beat me or have someone else beat me. The nurses Cynthia and Anha defended him and told me to stay away from him even though I was already across the room from me and he was yelling at me across the room because I defended another patient who wanted to pray the "Lords Prayer." The patient was being attacked by Clifford X for praying and I defended him. I immediately told nurse Cynthia and she said she would talk to him. The doctor decided to release him to the public today, at the same time as I was discharged. They told me that I could file a police report, and I did immediately. Then the social worker and Anha approached my car and asked what I was doing. I had already expressed to Anha that I was going to file a police report. The social worker Michelle asked me why I did not mention the incident to Dr. Butt. I explained that I was concerned about my case, not someone elses and that it is the nurses responsibility to observe and report to the doctor about patient behavior. Cynthia and Anha and all of the other patients witnessed his threats, but the nurses did not report this violent behavior to the doctor. He is probably back on the streets of Gary tonight or wherever, after making homicidal threats because Cynthia and Anha were not concerned with their responsibilities. Like I said, most of the staff is concerned with themselves, and insincere with the care they provide. It is a terrible facility and should be shut down...they are not doing any meaningful therapeutic practices. They just want to play spades, listen to rap, gossip, snap their gum in your face when you ask a question, and eat. Sincerely.

My father was having breathing problems. And I took him here and for some odd reason I couldnt even get in the building. It was locked. So I called to ask why the main entrance was locked of course the lady didnt have a clue and told me to hold for security. So instead of waiting for my father to kill over I drove around until I found and open door. But of course there was no one at the desk and no one around to help. The only person in a uniform didnt even acknowledge us. I honestly cant believe that a place like this is where we are suppose to go for health care. I will be taking my father to the hospital in the next town over from now on.

Horrible hospital! they wouldnt bill my insurance im still getting bills, there nurses threw false accusations at us after a car accident and then recommended & refused to give us ibuprofen for the pain. I had to ask the nurse for the materials to clean up my own wound, then i said or maybe i should just wait for the nurse to do it for me, he said, oh that would be me, and proceeded to clean up the gouge in my knee from the ignition keys digging into my knee cap. months later, i still have a scar. they are wasting there time practicing medicine ive never had such a joke as a doctors visit in my life in such a needy time.

I was born here. My mother worked here for years. I have been a patient here many times. My daughter was in ICU here. Weve even had my grand daughter in the emergency and then admitted. There has never been a bad experience for us. People say its bad here and prefer Southlake. They dont care about us there. Northlake will always be my choice!

This is the worst Hospital I ever been in. I brought someone here at 7pm and they did not get seen until 1am. This is so ridiculous to have someone waiting this long. Community or Saint Anthony get patients right in and out. This is truly a horrible Hospital. Methodist Northlake doesnt even deserve a 1 start...Just a pitiful hospital.

Terrible company. Do not offer a full range of services in Gary. Screwed up my billing. It took a threatened lawsuit to shut down the mouthy clerk who billed me a year after my account was paid. I went here for a mammogram and they found a lump of incompetence and profit motive.

This is the worst hospital ever! I sat in the emergency room for two hours before I went to the back. The doctors take all day and the nurses are rude. Never make this your first choice hospital.
