I had in and out surgery here last week and I was really nervous but once I checked in and was called to the back to get prepped for it. My nurse came in then the doctors who were doing the surgery came in and introduced themselves and then their assistant and so on. I was like I really feel welcomed and at ease a little. When I got to the surgery room the room was nice and cozy they had soft music playing, everyone was so very nice and at that time I knew I was in good hands.
I was not nervous anymore. From the time I switched doctors GW has always been on point with everything! I would definitely recommend this hospital and the doctors to any and everyone! They get 5/10 stars from me! Thanks GW

I was extremely ill and the care and dedication of the Medical Teams was outstanding. The Pulmonary and Infectious Disease teams were amazing in finding out what was going on and getting me on the road to recover. I also can't say enough about the whole nursing staff on 4 North. They are beyond amazing, especially Deborah. I was so lucky and blessed to have such a great team of nurses who made me feel comfortable and treated me as if they were treating their own family! Much love!

I just recently gave birth at GWU and I had an amazing experience. From the check in process to discharge and everything in between, I felt well taken care of. The Midwives are incredible! They are all so kind and knowledgeable and really attentive to your needs. I couldn't be happier. All of the Nurses I worked with during Labor and after were awesome!
They were super helpful and took such good care of me! Even though they had their hands full with lots of other patients, they were still very attentive, constantly checking in to see if I needed anything. I also loved working with the Lactation Consultant. She was so supportive and encouraging and I learned so much from her. It was such a pleasure working with her. I appreciate all of the staff (it's impossible to name them all) for making my experience a great one.

From the time of my consultation to the time I had my surgery the nurses and doctors were excellent! They made sure at all times I had everything I needed. Throughout my consultation, the doctor was very informative of my issues and well informative about my options. During my surgery, it did start an hour late but throughout my time waiting the doctors still made sure that I was comfortable and the job got done. I would definitely recommend!

When my Mother arrived to the GWU Hospital, she was in critical shape. The Medical Team in the ER worked on my Mother, took X-rays, CT Scans, etc., and took excellent care of her until she was admitted to a floor. Once my Mother was admitted to a floor, the entire Nursing Staff on 5 South, the physician assistants and the doctors took great care of my Mother.
They were very informative, helpful, professional and most of all caring. This was my Mother's first time every visiting this hospital and I would have her go there again if she needed to. My family and I are so grateful for giving her all of the antibiotics and the professional care she need. Thank you GWU Hospital from the bottom of my families hearts! Keep up the excellent work you are doing!

The staff had excellent bedside manner and were comforting and kept me well informed. I was very nervous as I had a prior surgery after which I woke up in horrible pain. I told the anesthesiologist and he reassured me before the procedure and stayed with me until I was in recovery to make sure that did not happen. Highly recommended.

I went in with an issue with my eye because it would not open. I obviously was not able to see much at all. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they guided me so I would not run into anyone or anything. I was seen by a medical student, a resident, and an ER doctor almost immediately. They were all very nice and were quick and efficient in order to cause me the least amount of pain possible.
The student and resident were extremely nice and provided me with as much information as possible. The only downside was that it took a really long time for the head doctor to approve my discharge paperwork. Which I kind of understand since it is an emergency room, but at that point I just really wanted to leave and go home. I eventually just left on my own after waiting an hour and a half for the head doctor to sign it. But overall, the staff really made the experience great.

I used to come here all the time and the service used to be great! Now you sit in the waiting room for mad hours. The triage nurse shows no empathy and sympathy for the patients that are as true and dying pain. I sat here tonight and watch how a guy came in mad jokes and all fist let me mention he came hours after me and he got pulled to the back and now is gone.
There was another young lady that's been in the waiting room for over 24 hours. Sad! I had the first triage nurse said she was going to give me some pain meds and hook me to an ivy. Nothing has happened yet. I came in due to the fact I can keep nothing down. I'm having an anxiety attack as I wait for endless hours. My pain is getting worse by the moment.
Something has to been done about the service and treatment. As I write this there are three triage nurses sitting in a huddle I will definitely going to Medstar Urgent Care in the future.

For the past 2 months, I have been fortunate enough to be seen at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. I am new to Washington DC, so it is the first time I have experienced the level of care that goes on there. Because I have several physical issues to deal with, I am at the hospital a couple of times a week. The Doctors have been able to diagnose and begin treatment for.a couple of major physical issues that I have.
The Physical Therapy team that is working with me is showing me great kindness and patience. There is a confidence and optimistic feeling among the staff that permeates the hospital. You can't help but feel better after spending time with this crew. I have never felt so comfortable in a hospital before, or looked forward to going to it! I am so grateful for the professionalism and the knowledge that the doctors and nurses have.
I am looking forward to healing in a better life because of their care. So to the doctors, nurses, therapists and the rest of the staff, please know how much we appreciate all the hard work that you do for us. You are greatly appreciated and loved! Barb Thompson
