My father had a heart attack in the beginning of August. When I got to him he was already in CVICU. By all reports he received tremendous care in the ER and was taken to the cath lab quickly where Dr. Lee was unsuccessful as he was 100% occluded. While in the CVICU we received tremendous care from Chip, Bekah and Amy. Ultimately, Dr. Ohm advised us that they were unable to perform any interventions or surgeries and told us "we dont do bipass on 1 artery. You should trust me. I can handle this." After much consideration, we requested a second opinion. MUSC accepted my dad and we were transferred there for further care. On arrival to MUSC, he was nearly taken back to the cath lab but meds were changed and chest pain was halted. A couple of days later, my dad had TRIPLE bipass and I learned that they do indeed perform single bipass surgeries. While I am grateful to Carolinas for his initial care and MUSC for life saving surgery I am mindful that this was facilitated by Amy, his RN in CVICU who was absolutely a patient advocate. Ill NEVER forget her professionalism and compassion. Amy was a large piece of the puzzle that ultimately saved his life.

Unfortunately I need to give one star as the lowest score but definitely they dont deserve any... On April we went to ER cause my 3 year old had a small cut under his lip.. Two of the nurses (a male and a female) told me that these cut was nothing to be worried about, that he will be fine.. The doctor came and she "evaluated" the incision and told me that she needed to put some glue on it, "just in case". Apparently every thing was ok... As a mom the only thing you want is that they are fine.... But when I receive my bill they are charging me these "glue" as a MINOR PROCEDURE and the cost is $1123.50 and have another charge of $187.50 of a SIMPLE PROCEDURE, that is being canceled... Apparently they decide to charge these "Glue" as stitches... I have being asking a refund, and calling to complain, but apparently because I already paid they dont know what to do.... Please dont go to the Carolinas ER, they will do anything to charge you for a procedure you dont need, and then change that procedure for other of a huge cost and they will not accept their mistake... Im still waiting and its being 3 months of any answers...

Please - do NOT take your family members or anyone you care about to this hospital. My daughter was admitted through the ER where we spent 5 hours waiting on staff to assign her to a room. There were two large water bugs (unbelievable) crawling up the wall in the ER treatment room! There was NO hot water in her ER room or regular room. NO hot water in a hospital full of germs - Im still in disbelief. The doctor apologized profusely for the wait & said we shouldve been taken to a room immediately. Then, on the first day of a four-day stay, my daughter started her period. The 5th floor nurse (nasty & hateful) told me if my daughter needed tampons, I would need to bring them from home! I went across the street & bought them from CVS. In the entire four days, they NEVER changed her bed sheets. One nurse (April) never moved from her desk except TWICE in her entire 12-hour shift! I am still shaking my head at the lack of cleanliness & compassion from Carolinas Hospital - STAY AWAY!

This is the worse managed hospital I have ever been involved in! Nurses are in the dark & know nothing! The surgeons do not work together to give patients a decision. My Dad is there,facing amputation of his leg or legs. One surgeon says one below the knee and the Vascular surgeon says both should be removed! Hes had all the correct test for his diagnosis but thats the only good thing I can say! Poorly managed! Carolinas Systems need not be in the medical business. My husband has been a CEO of a hospital for 30+yrs, educated at Duke University, hes shocked! Ive been a nurse for almost 30 yrs. and I cant even put into words well enough to explain how unsafe you would be in this place! My Dad has a family member or more with him 24/7! Now we are getting him transferred asap. Once a limb is amputated its gone.....so we only do this once! Please everyone.....dont leave a loved one here unattended. Dangerous! Get a second opinion!!!!!

I was a patient at CHS in May 2015 and I received excellent care. Beginning in registration and including all Nurses, Laboratory, Housekeeping, Hospitalist and everyone else that stepped foot in my room. I was there for 9 days and I could not have asked for a more caring and professional group of people. The rooms were clean and comfortable and were kept that way. If I pressed the call button a nurse came in the room immediately, usually not even answering the intercom but coming straight to the room. If I asked for medication it was brought within 10 or 15 minutes which is great because I have seen people wait for over an hour at another hospital. I have worked in the Laboratory at hospitals for 32 years so I know what to look for in Healthcare and I know I wouldnt get this kind of great care anywhere else. Thank you Carolinas Hospital System!

oh my word...I cant exspress how bad the lack of communication is and how slow they work to meeting the patients needs!!..I am sitting right now in a room with my mom who the doc himself said he would consider being the sickest patient bc she is at risk of loosing her rt lung and the part they need to do her surgery for the anesthesiologist is broken so had to post pine surgery for tomorrow now they just said the tool wont be shipped til friday and my mom cant wait til friday to have surgery..so they will have to transfer her and I honestly thank God bc when I tell you noone seems to have it together I mean every department even down to the nutrition workers...and not to add a doc came in earlier to get my mom and he came in the wrong room he was wanting someone else!!!...something needs to be done bc this is very scary!!

Let me start by saying, I been to different hospitals and I have heard bad stories but I can tell you this is the worst hospital. I wouldnt even give it a 1 star, nurses and doctors do what they want when they want. If you request no drugs they dope you up because they can keep you longer, forget leaving once you get there if you request a second opinion if it isnt with there doctors your stuck there, they will refuse to send you to other qualified and real competent staff. If you raise concerns they bring in security and treating you. The administrative people are just as bad with helping cover up their incompetent doctors mistakes, fair warning go to a real hospital because you will not find it here.

Well a family member of mine had a bypass surgery there this week . They kept us informed on the surgery all day . We were very pleased with the care thatv was received in CIUC Nurse Melissa was Great. . Moved to the 9th floor and down Hill it went. We have seen on lady Im assuming a Tech not the actual nurse and might I add she is Rude. Thank the Lord that only lasted a hr our so. Shift change and a new tech now. So lets hope this gets better. Because right now this is quite ridiculous! ! And I mean the Attitude problem. If you cant act decent to the patients why be a nurse ??? Or interact with people that are in need. Last time I checked thats what you are paid to do ....
