Crouse Hospital

"It is impossible to rate any hospital w 5 stars. But I've had 20 surgeries, 15 major, so I know hospitals. They will never please everyone. Crouse does the best they can to make your stay pleasant. The best nurses that try not to wake you up at night while getting vitals and the cleaning staff that wipes down every surface imaginable. Even the cafeteria will go out of their way with your special requests. Oh and there's the doctors and Surgeons. The ones I've dealt with are very good. Always good to look at all your options, near and afar. Learn as much as you can, read mayo and Cleveland clinic. Research where in the world do they perform this surgery the best. Get health insurance for peats sake. Don't use the Er like it's your primary doctor. Get use to having to wait for every little tiny thing you want. Get family or friends to come in to help. Also most importantly you must be your own advocate. Fight for what you need. Whether it be an extra creamer or a pint of blood."

"I am writing this years later, but it was a bit painful to recount publicly earlier than at this time. On June 1, 2020 my husband was diagnosed with lethal brain tumors very suddenly. He had taken very good care of himself, was fit, and his bloodwork always presented as perfectly healthy. His symptoms were vague (fatigue) until a few days before the MRI diagnosis. He had also just started taking a new drug that crosses the blood brain barrier. To make a long story short, the neurosurgery staff was superb. Upon discovery of the tumors, he was immediately scheduled for brain surgery. They removed 2 large cancer masses located deep center (just above the ventricles) and in the right area of his brain with minimal damage. Miraculous, thanks to God, the skilled surgeons, and the functional MRI. He received excellent care in ICU and on 6 North, but the cancer was very aggressive, returned, and he died 77 days later. But, despite the surgeries, he was able to come home for about 1.5 months. During his home time, he regained his ability to speak, swallow, and with some assistance, perform ADLs, and walk. The successful surgeries gave our family priceless time to spend with this wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. I am ever grateful to Crouse for their excellent care of my beloved husband during the very difficult COVID years."

"Crouse Hospital is an excellent facility for medical assistance, particularly suitable for those with a pregnant partner. The staff, notably the nurses, are exceptional in their professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. They respond swiftly to patients' needs, often arriving within seconds of the bedside button being pressed. The hospital's food is surprisingly good, offering a variety of choices, and there's even an affordable option for guests to dine. Additionally, there's a snack and drink section on the 3rd floor for after-hours needs. Security is tight, requiring identification and verification for visitor access, along with a visitor's sticker for proper identification on the premises. For parking, the conveniently located garage across the street offers reasonable rates, with a weekly pass being a cost-effective option for longer stays. In summary, I highly recommend Crouse Hospital to anyone seeking quality medical care."

"I delivered my daughter at Crouse and couldn't have asked for a better experience! My modwife was PHENOMENAL and my nurses were amazing. I delivered at 8:45pm, so it was after shift change, and my nurses had stayed through my delivery. My midwife came in after her clinic visits just to deliver my baby. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. My nurses on the maternity floor were amazing as well. My day nurse over the weekend definitely went above and beyond."
