Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center

This is Johns Hopkins Hospital’s other center in Baltimore. This campus is accessible via the Bayview shuttle from the downtown campus. This campus sits atop a hill, and has some of the ORs my attending physician operates in.
The OR is an amazing place, and from it some of the US’s brightest physicians conduct surgery. I got to witness a live brain surgery the other day. HIPPA rules will not allow me to say much, other than I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you’re like me, and are intrigued by the human body, then you would love sitting through such a surgery too. If not, then better stay in the waiting area ;-)
Much like the downtown campus, this campus has tight security. The staff member are on their toes, working from one case to another. They are a courteous and friendly bunch. The hospital is kept clean and efficient.
I would most definitely recommend this place for any inpatient medical need in the Baltimore area. Much like the downtown campus, it is staffed by amazing people.

The ENT doctor spent about seven minutes talking to me about my day and how I felt. That turned out to be a consultation and cost $ 623.53. He did a brief endoscopy that was maybe three minutes and that didn’t address my issue of sinus headaches over my right eye. He told me he couldn’t do that there after I asked. This wasted procedure was another $ 634.03. John’s Hopkins just sent a bill for $ 327.68 for my sitting in the lobby. They called it an «operating room fee». They literally bill you to wait!
The whole process was a disaster and is shameful to bilk the public for seeking health care.
Going to the ER is vastly cheaper and it should not be.

I’ve recently had ankle surgery at JHBMC and I couldn’t have had a better experience. All of the nurses I’ve had, the doctors, and any other workers were just so helpful. There was no long wait to be brought back into Pre-​op and my mother had an excellent experience in the waiting room. The surgery went well even though the damage was worse then the MRI showed and Despite my connective tissue disorder I feel like I’m healing at a normal rate. In fact they even have a surgery nurse call you the next day to see how your doing. I had a wonderful day surgery experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back if I ever needed another surgery

I am pleading with anyone that comes across this review. Please do not go here if you can help it. I went it for a routine consultation and expected to pay only my co-​pay. Instead, I was greeted by two separate bills. One for my co-​pay and another for a so-​called «facility fee» where the departments there are allowed to bill insurance companies for their rooms. These charges were then happily passed on 100% from my insurance company. The doctor get the nonsense «facility fee» after seeing me for 5 minutes, the insurance companies don’t have to pay. Everyone wins in this system. If it hadn’t happened to me i’d think it was illegal. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here.

If I could give this hospital emergency Minor Care Center a negative 5 stars, I would. We have been waiting for 4 hours to see someone. This is absolutely unacceptable. No one but a non chalant nurse has been out saying that there’s nothing she can do. I’ve never seen such horrible service.

My sister came to Bayview Medical Center @5:10pm on November 20, 2015. She was called @ 11:50pm to go in the back to room. The PA came in @1:25am. I would not recommend this emergency room to anyone
I understand if it was a a lot of 911 emergencies. Nope!!! Very bad choice.

This is for the ER at Hopkins. We had to wait 9 hours before being seen. I understand that it was busy but there were people in better condition than us getting served before us and leaving. There was a woman with a broken arm who fell asleep and instead of waking her they skipped her and when she woke up they made her start over in line. Absolutely unorganized and unprofessional. My boyfriend was being treated for severe stomach pain and is a cancer survivor — very used to ER and hospital procedure and this was the worst experience he has ever had. I would not recommend AT ALL.

There is no other place that I would want to go in the area. They’re professional, and above all they treat their patients well. I have not encountered a doctor, nurse that hasn’t gone above and beyond when I was in need. All of the procedures that I have had here I have been well informed on prior to the date, and everything has gone smoothly. It’s a hospital, and it seems that a lot of people hold grudges with hospitals, and give them a bad rep because they may have had a close friend or relative pass while in their care. It’s a hospital though, and all situations that take place inside are not always going to end favorably. I’ll take my chances going where I feel i am going to have the best doctors, and staff on board to get me back on my feet if ever I should need it, and that is here at bayview.

WRONG CAMPUS. Orleans Center.
THE STATE OF THE NATION How Absurd Is Our Medical System? See For Yourself. What Does This Tell You? Who Runs This COUNTRY? Well, For Starters, SHEIKH ZAYED TOWER — JOHNS HOPKINS LOVES HIM! The Price of a Migraine.
I was dragged out of my car this afternoon, after sitting in it for 3 hours, collapsed, numb, and brought to HOPKINS, which could not explain what had happened to me, yet deemed me FIT TO LEAVE, and filled release forms, filled with LIES. JUST read the shit that comes out of their mouths. And these are called HUMANS? No, thanks. Not my cup of tea. HOPKINS? Yep. Good enough to take these pics, and paste them all over the world.
This, my friends, is the American Dream.

I am grateful for each breath of fresh air. If it weren’t for Johns Hopkins Hospital specialists I wouldn’t have celebrated my sons birthday last week. When no one else can help don’t give up! The pharmacy is so convenient. The ER dept is quick, efficient and KIND. Housekeeping is not kept to any standards on many units. It’s almost scary.

This is the most disgusting inefficient emergency room I’ve ever been to. This evening I went my with fiancé that was having chest pains and a shooting pain in his arm. He was seen by a triage nurse within a half an hour and sent back out to the dirty trash filled under construction lobby. After 4 hours they never checked back in on him and we left. No only was his care unacceptable but the other obviously more injured or in pain patients were being set up in the hallways and people crippled over in pain were not being seen. I would never recommend this place to anyone. This was complete waste of our time and the treatment from the staff we received was horrendous. Stay away!

The worst ER I have ever been to. Every single visit there has been awful. The worst visit was when I went in for an infection. Fever, throbbing head, pus, shaking, feeling faint, throwing up, dehydrated and chest pains. I have heart problems. Infections and chest pains are a red flag to begin with. They weren’t busy at all. I checked their code before going to make sure because of previous long wait times. There were no more than 6 patients in the waiting room at all times. So tell me why I waited 13 HOURS in the waiting room. Everyone was complaining. There was even a suicidal woman who sliced herself wiping her blood in her hair, rocking back and forth and causing a scene, just sitting there for two hours. I couldn’t believe it. And that is only one of my horror stories. The others range from being called a liar, to being forgotten in a bed, in the hall way. Never again will I go there or give them a goid review.

Maybe its the weather. Maybe its the weekend but this has been one of the most awful ER visits I have ever had. First the waiting room was dirty. Food. Newspapers. Trash all over the floor. The registrars were straight ghetto. Period. They were complaining about their work LOUDLY. Need I say more?! Lets not forget to mention the hours waiting to be seen.

My review is specifically for the Outpatient Blood Draw Lab in the 301 Building. I have had bloodwork done there on several occasions and the staff working there are nothing short of amazing. The front desk staff is friendly and efficient (they even made me a handmade card while I was waiting one time when I had blood drawn on my birthday). The phlebotomists are so gentle, personable, and skilled. I have been to other labs where I have left with bruises from inability to find veins and with folks giving me dirty looks because I am heavily tattooed, but every single person at the Bayview 301 Building blood lab has made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Keep up the great work!

Here because of my Channing’s surgery. Cannot wait until he’s discharged from here. Everyone has been treating him very well, but I know I can treat him better. TLC and some time to recover is all he needs to get well. Overall no complaints of the Surgical Floor staff very helpful.

This review is ONLY for the Womens Center (OBGYN) at Bayview. While the actual time I’ve spent with medical professionals here (doctors and/​or nurse practitioners) has been great — they are knowledgeable and interested in their fields and have time for you — trying to get in to see or talk to them is an absolute nightmare.
Trying to return calls to the nurses station is particularly onerous. My last few interactions with them have been very simple requests — signature on a pre-​employment health screening form, prescription refill — and each has taken at least two weeks to resolve. It’s very frustrating to promptly return calls to the nurses station to be told «she says she is too busy to talk to you right now and to call back later,» or «that nurse has reduced her office hours to two days per month, so you won’t be able to see her for a few months» — for something as simple as signing a form.
I will be looking for OBGYN services elsewhere, which is unfortunate since I have no complaints with the actual medical care I have received. However, the office and nurses staff have now caused me, in separate instances, to (1) delay the start date of my new job (and lose a paycheck) for one week, and (2) be without my daily medication for over a week (so far), because of their inefficiency and lack of responsiveness. This lack of regard for their patients is totally unacceptable, and very unfortunate for such a renowned medical institution.

My husband was transferred to the Johns Hopkins Neuro Critical Care Center (neurology ICU) at Bayview from the ER at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD. after experiencing several seizures. He really didn’t need to be in an ICU, but the Suburban doctor was cautious, and my husband’s neurologist is at Johns Hopkins.
He arrived at the Bayview center at 11:00 pm and got immediate and conscientious treatment in his single ICU room, even though everyone could tell he wasn’t in distress. Dr. Warren, the on-​call neurologist, came by shortly after his admittance, and he was informative and detailed in his examination.
Everyone was considerate and accommodating. Actually, I learned a lot more about my husband’s infrequent seizures from Dr. Warren than I had from our primary neurologist. All of the nurses — in particular Steven — were great. My husband was released the next day. His only complaint was he was hungry!

The parking and walking *around* the hospital to the front is weird. There should be a main visitors entrance from the parking lot. Not that big a deal though I guess.
Physicians, nurses and other medical support staff are awesome. Everyone else has an attitude like they work for the post office. The operators on the phone are particularly nasty.
The hospital feels a bit dated but the equipment looks current and I guess that’s what matters. I’d come here for sure, even though it doesn’t give off the top notch vibe.

Haiku:
Johns Hopkins Bayview
has never let me astray.
I love it that way!
From Peds to ObGyn,
The doctors are terrific,
and that is just fine!

It’s hard to write a review that encompasses an entire hospital. I’ll give what I can.
The ER leaves something to be desired. I understand that with so many people without health insurance, it gets used for no emergency needs. But I once had chest pains, and waited 5 hours before just going home (They still billed $ 50, even though a DR never saw me)
I’ve had to have knee surgery from Dr. Trice in Ortho. It was the 4^th knee surgery I’ve ever had (But first by him). It’s been almost 4 years, and my knee, which has always hurt in the past, is probably 80% better than it was after any of my other surgeries.
I’ve also had to be seen by Dr. Wright in Urology. Without getting into significant detail, I can say he made sure to explore all possibilities before we opted for surgery. And Surgery turned out to be the correct choice.
