My wife and I LOVE the IU Health system in Lafayette. AVOID St. Elizabeth. PLEASE trust us on this one. She went to St. Elizabeth for 6+ months for one issue: her gallbladder. After excruciating pain, lazy doctors, several months and delayed tests, we were fed-up and went to IU. We showed IU the scans, and within 2 weeks had an appointment to get her gallbladder removed. She feels better than she has in years. Her gallbladder was sent to a lab for testing. We just got the call back from the lab -- her gallbladder was chronically inflamed, cellular changes were present (that could have lead to cancer), and the gallstones had been there for years. The size of the gallbladder indicated it could have ruptured at any time. Thanks to IU and their awesome staff, my wife is pain-free. We also had our children at the IU hospital and have nothing but amazing things to say about their staff and mother-baby unit. The birthing rooms are very large, private, and comfortable. Side note: my wife is a nurse and has seen the "other side" of St. Elizabeth as well. While she hasnt worked for the IU system, her experiences with St. Elizabeth as a nurse confirm her experiences as a patient. TRUST US. DONT GO TO ST. ELIZABETH. Go to IU.

I was passing through the area while working and ended up in the er due to the severe pain I was having in my neck from herniated discs,pinched nerves,and metal hardware in my neck and the medication I was given called tramadol didnt touch the pain,and I had a bad reaction to it which also made my pain increase. I ended up back in the er later that day,saw the same doctor,who wanted to give me the same medication through an IV and run blood work because he was insistent I had an infection running through me. COME ON!!!! where do you get infection from my symptoms?????!!!!!!!! Needless to say they also knew I had no insurance to pay for these tests and IV!!!! Just wanted to run me up a huge bill because I wasnt a local probably. In the end I ended up walking out in twice as much pain as I started out having a bad reaction and had to go to a different er to get the help I needed. I will never recommend this hospital to anyone!!!!!!!!!! It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went in last night 1/2/17 with pain on one side of head running down my neck and left arm...they took my blood pressure it was 154/105..they told me to go and wait in the waiting room..we set there a long time ..there was 4 people ahead of me ..Im not sure what condition they was in but with my blood pressure so high you would think I would be seen...fineally the pain got worse and I got upset and started leaveing ...the RN out front asked if I was leaveing I said yes your not doing anything for me my blood pressure is through the roof and Im in pain...I figure I could be this way at home at least if I do fineally go down I have a better chance getting help from an ambulance personal then you people.. I went home took an asprine and today still hurt ...ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU NEED TO RETHINK YOUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE. ..ALSO I BETTER NOT GET BILLED FOR JUST SETTING IN THE DAMN WAITING ROOM AND NOT GETTING THE HELP I NEEDED ...

The entire Womens Health, Labor & Delivery, and Mother Baby teams are beyond amazing. Dr. Wallace has been so great before and during my pregnancy and checking up on me during my stay in Mother Baby after delivery. The labor and delivery team (Peg & Laura) were so helpful and kind during my labor. The mother baby team were knowledgeable and so so helpful with anything I needed post partum. The facilities are top notch and the hospital is designed with the patient in mind. My stay during the birth of my daughter was amazing and relaxing, not only due to the wonderful staff, but due to the design of the rooms and the up to date technology used. I will be moving out of the area soon and I wish I could take this entire department with me. Everyone was knowledgeable, understanding, and so unbelievably kind. I will miss the womens health team so much, and will certainly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

These people are so slow my 13 yr old daughter fell and hit her head and is complaining of servere head pain...they are moving sooooo slow and sitting here like its happy hour and talking about who is hollering at who and who is giving permission for what ????and everyone that is coming in after her is being seen..mmmmm i dont get how they decide who is the sickest but if its not life threatening Seems like it should be first come first serve but I guess not ....but when the adults who are coming in seem happy smiling and gay and you got a kid you have to try and keep from crying thats bull...and the nurses busy standing up there chatting it up about the cubs games...thats sooooo bogus

They send you to an "in network specialist" that isnt even qualified for the procedure, screw up the billing, all whilst convincing you that its all your fault. Then they send you to collections due to the fact that the "specialist" isnt approved by the insurance provider because of his lack of qualifications. I then ended up paying the same Bill 3 separate times 2 of which were in collections because they literally have no idea what they are doing. I have great insurance with only small co-pays and Ive been raped for over a grand due to Dr. Jalals Unqualified status!

This might be the only way that I can thank the hospital staff. I came in with a dislocated shoulder, in extreme pain. They got me in asap...thank you. The nurse (Tracy) gave me pain killer as soon as she could. The x-ray staff was awesome they new I was in pain and did everything they could to help me get the x-rays the doctor needed. Wish I could mention you all by name. Thank you all for helping me. Hope you all know how much I needed you and you were there every time I did. Thank you. Eric

Ive been sitting the waiting room of the Er for 3 hours now and that timer is still going. Im getting very aggravated that there are so many people that are waiting including my boyfriend who was told to come to the Er by the iu clinic because they couldnt care for him. SPEED THE HELL UP!!

Extremely unhappy with our wait time. Over a 90 minute wait after they said we were being discharged. After asking the physicians assistant twice, still nothing. Then treated rudely by the intake person when I brought it up to her. Looks like St. E from here on out for me and my family.

I went in for a routine tubal ligation. The billing was messed up, they admitted it was wrong. Months many phone calls and emails later the billing was still not corrected. Would have been 100% covered, I ended up billed for 5800+ before insurance picked up. They billed me for illness.

Im 8 months pregnant and have a severe infection in my pancreas. Ob center nor er center will do anything about it. I go to bed crying and cant take care of my 18 month old child. Have had issues with them in the past. Hate this hospital!!
