UAB Hospital

"This is the place!!! The many, many fields and levels of care offered here is just so tremendous. Although I've encountered one or two persons with bad phone manners. The in person atmosphere totally makes up for them. I tell everyone I know, if they have health issues, get into this facility!!! You will not regret it."

"Was Air Evaced to UAB having a heart attack this past Monday morning around 12.30. When I arrived a team was waiting and worked fast to getting me stable and save my life! Been in University hospitals before but never this wonderful care that I received. All Drs involved didn't make a mistake. Every nurse that was involved took great care of me. After two stents were put in place,I went home the next morning around 11.00 or so. Quick fix and doing great! Thank you for saving my life!!!!"

"A warning to anyone planning to receive medical care here: if you disclose that you have had a miscarriage that required no medical intervention then they will put “induced abortion” on your health history. And when you ask them to remove it or change it to spontaneous abortion or miscarriage, they’ll tell you that induced abortion and spontaneous abortion are the same thing and it doesn’t matter. Considering induced abortion is basically becoming a criminal act, I don’t feel safe having that in my chart but they didn’t listen when I asked them to fix it. So I recommend not disclosing miscarriages to your doctors here unless you’re okay with having induced abortion put in your chart."

"Recently had surgery under Dr. Richard Fix and his team. He is the most compassionate, caring doctor I have ever encountered. He is doing breast reconstruction, which was not easy because of the radiation I had. He really did not have much tissue to work with and took what tissue he could from my stomach area. I am so pleased with the surgery, All his team is wonderful. He has a special place along with Dee. There’s not many doctors that will ask you if you will walk the steps to make sure that your lungs are healed enough for surgery and he did. 4 1/2 flights later he approved me. He is awesome!!!"

"I rate the hospital personnel as 10. My granddaughter and her mom and I recently visited Birmingham for a cheer competition and I had to leave the competition and go to the emergency room. I was very impressed with all of the staff. I noticed that regardless of whether rich or poor, black or white or even rude or kind all patients were treated with respect. You never know when people are watching. The doctors and nurses were also wonderful. I would highly recommend this hospital. Thank you so much for loving and caring for ALL of your patients. God is using ALL of you as healing instruments. May God bless you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart"
