I have to say I am really disappointed in this company. You think that some of the patients are being treated bad, but so are the employees. It really shows you how the person who own the business is running it. You better believe it does come from the top, because they have the authority to do something about it. And when you see this many bad reviews, you should be doing something about it. Not making excuse for the lousy job your doing, but realizing you made a mistake and find a solution to fix it. That is what boss do. I never thought I would be saying this but I am. I am very disappointed in you. You made me believe that you really want the best for your company, but when you look at the way these peoples are being treated​, it doesnt look like your doing the best for your company. You want to short change and do short cut, but do you realize when youre understaffing youre putting the patients and staffs in harm way. Statistics show that whenever there is understaffing there is more falls and injuries. Whether it is for patients or staff members. Supervisor or manager that make a decision to do this is not making good sound judgement because they are putting the staff in harm way. Instead of them saving the compamy money they are actually causing the company to lost money. It lead to court and litigation action. And dont think because you can put more Rns on the floor that they will pick up the slack. Some Rns do not think​ they are entitle to do primary care. You maybe thinking that because the Rns can administer medications and they can do primary care, that you can cut back on the staffs and throw the nurse on floor, but that nurse is not going kill herself. And so this leaves more work on the tech. No techs should have to be on the floor without getting aid from their nurses. Where is the team player? Not only that the patients need to be properly evaluated. No patients should be force to get up against their will. These patients have their rights. They have the right to refuse. These doctors need to work on their listening skills when come to their patients. When these patients are in pain they need to be able to alleviate their pain. I have worked in rehab and I never seen a rehab run like that. This explain the reason why there is so many accidents on the floor. They need to make sure that orders for equipments to be use on patients are put in. Dont wait into after someone gets hurt and place a order. Not only that, but I am not seeing them follow the state board regulations. I remember prior to taking my state board exam to receive my license, that the tech is not to be assigned to patients more than half their weight. I remember after finishing school that is how they did it, but now they are assigning them to any patients. And you better believe they are causing injuries by doing this. Worker Comp is not trying pay nothing these days, but if they are injured on the job, they are going have to pay it. It is not for the company to have a worker compensation doctor to deny these employees their claim when did got hurt on the job. They have to work on finding a solution to fix it, and we are not talking about omitting informations or lying and committing medical fraud to keep from paying these employees their compensation. It make sense why that this company will have their own attorney, to get out ligation action. Not only is this worker compensation doctor train in deny these employees their claim, but he is actually performing negligence and malpractice by allowing these employees to return to work without giving them proper evaluation/treatment to alleviate their pain. All so they can save the company money. This is Fraud. These people here deserve better. No one should have to go through pain and suffering. Why cant they do the right thing?

To those of you who have pain from varicose veins as I did, you must see Dr. Britt Tonnessen. I went to her with concerns of my pain and fear of developing blood clots. She was very understanding and took time with me. She sent me to have ultra sounds and we decided to do surgery. She explains everything in detail and answered any questions I had. Truthfully, I was scared and was also concerned about scars. She has been a God send. She is very gentle and professional. The pain of the varicose veins is gone along with the unsightly veins. The incisions were so small, you cannot even tell where they were. I wish I would have done this years ago! I can not say enough nice things about her and her professionalism, but if you have concerns and pain, I highly recommend Dr. Tonnessen. I also recommend Roper St. Francis. The staff are so nice and professional. You are made very comfortable there instead of feeling like just another number. Kudos to Dr. Britt Tonnessen and Kudos to Roper Hospital!!! Thank You!!

Only industry where the price of a service isnt known before the service is performed. The day of my scheduled operation I asked the accounting associate at the hospital, "What is the total price for this procedure if insurance is ignored?" Response, "Thats depends on a lot of administrative factors." Proof that the health care industry is completely broken and the hospitals which grossly over bill are just as responsible as the insurance companies who fight to approve payment. Its a slush fund wild west and when the music stops, the patient is the one without a chair. Roper attempted to bill for a total amount of just over $20,000 for a procedure which has been available for decades, takes about 20 minutes, and should costs about $6-8k based on technology costs. I ended up paying $5k out of pocket on top of the slush money insurance paid. Super.

Ms. Frenchie in ambulatory is amazing!! She is so kind and friendly. She made us feel so welcome and when my boyfriend was having his knee surgery she just made me feel so reassured and welcome. The waiting room is clean and offers complimentary charging stations for your phone and also complimentary coffee and tea. The cafeteria offers lots of things but is very confusing to navigate and I found it a bit intimidating. I also visited the gift shop and found their prices very affordable for a gift shop. The recovery room was nice as well. The free valet parking was the icing on the cake for us. All in all, it was a pleasant experience- as pleasant as surgery can get, lol.

Best care I have ever received at a ER! The whole staff between the front desk, nurses, doctors, and lab techs were so amazing and actually cared. They were fast and thorough. I never had to wait or question any part of my visit. I had went to the Trident ER on Monday prior to tonights visit and was there for hours, never saw a dr, was diagnosed incorrectly, and left still in pain. After getting worse since that visit, my mother in law suggested Roper and Im glad she did. I feel so much better already and they got me on the right treatment plan to get to feeling better! I would suggest this hospital to anyone! Great experience all around!

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Everything about my experience was exceptional except for the fact that they gave me the wrong crutches after surgery and then a few days later when I was able to start walking again and realized that they were too big, they refused to exchange them. They said they could charge me for another set but could not exchange them even though they have never been used. Nobody should have to deal with shoulder and armpit discomfort for the month that Theyll be on crutches because of a clerical error. Really left a bad taste in my mouth since it was their mistake to begin with.
