I cannot say enough good things about the team at the GBMC Emergency Department, especially the Pediatrics team. My son, husband and I were there Wednesday night after being awakened by a bat in our home and needing preventive rabies treatment. It was an incredibly stressful situation, and we were understandably anxious. Even though it was a very busy night, every single person we encountered—from registration to the nurses, physicians, technicians, and everyone in between—treated us with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. The pediatric staff were absolutely wonderful with my son. They were patient, reassuring, and took the time to explain everything, helping both of us feel calm and cared for. We never felt rushed or like an inconvenience, despite how busy the department was. Emergency medicine is not an easy job, especially on a packed night, but the entire team worked together seamlessly and never let the stress show. Their dedication, empathy, and hard work did not go unnoticed. Thank you to everyone at GBMC Pediatrics and the Emergency Department for the exceptional care you provide. We are incredibly grateful for the compassion and outstanding care we received late Wednesday August 6, 2026

Everything about this hospital is amazing. The staff has a great professional personality. Everyone's friendly, the parking cost and valet price is reasonable. Always my favorite

My wife recently had to have emergency surgery and an extended stay to recover. I can not praise unit 48 enough! Especially Lindsey, Brooke, Morgan, Mary Kate, and Nisha. They were so wonderful and helpful! They really showed my wife how a patient should be treated.

Hubby had to have a minor procedure here and I had to be the designated driver. Upon arrival we pared in the Iris parking garage, sometimes it can be confusing to navigate but there was plenty of spaces this day, probably due to the weather. We had to walk to the pain hospital to get to the clinic. We checked in which was pleasantly easy. I was added to the list to be updated via text message of hubby's procedure, which I appreciated. There were plenty of seats, including seats for those with thick thighs. I was updated of every step and then when he was in recovery, the nurse came and got me. I asked did they validate parking, but as a incentive they gave me a free parking pass because of the delay, which was top tier. I was advised where to go and pull up to pick up hubby once I got my car. Thankfully there was an attendant to help with getting out.

Check down at the bottom of this review for my description of the Da Vinci surgical robot demo. Had a good experience at the ER. I came in with abdominal pain. They teiaged me promptly and drew blood for tests. Then they put me in a different waiting room. I actually got my test results back in the MyChart app before I got out of the waiting room. When I thought they were ignoring my abdominal pain too long, I pointed out to the staff that I was still having pain. They moved me to a separate room where I was seen by a physician assistant. She got my process going. They ordered a CT scan, and once they saw that I actually had a reason to be in pain, they took me back to the main ER and started my treatment. Then they admitted me to the main hospital. That was yesterday. I was treated, and I am much better today. It's taking longer than I'd like to get me discharged, but I know that they have lots of other patients besides me. I recommend GBMC. 5/31/23 Had another interesting experience at GBMC today. Since I'm on their mailing list, they sent out an invitation to a hands-on demo of the Day Vinci surgical robot. Since this was a demo for civilians the robot they showed us was a training model sent over by the company that makes them, not the one they use in the operating room. I thought there would be a huge crowd so I got there early. It turned out that there weren't that many people in the audience so I had the opportunity to play with the robot a few times. It's amazing. It's not the kind of robot that you would see in a science fiction movie. It doesn't walk and talk, and it won't decide to take over the world. What it does is let the surgeon sit at a console across the room and operate on the patient with tiny little hands through tiny little holes in the skin. The surgeon can see in three dimensions and can have 10x magnification so every cut and every stitch can be placed with 10x precision. In the past, women, on average, had an advantage over men for performing surgery since women, on average, have smaller hands. This machine levels the playing field since all surgeons get tiny little hands and operate through tiny little holes. The patient benefits because those tiny little holes heal quicker and don't hurt as much while they're healing. I've added two pictures, the robot and the control module, to the pictures attached to this review.
