Carolinas Medical Center-University

An outstanding team of physicians, nurses, technicians and supporting staff that work very well together.

My daughter was running a fever of 101 and vomiting and diarrhea. Took her to emergency room at 2am and the amount of patients waiting at this hour was INSANE!!! the wait time was 2 hours however I spoke with a lady waiting and she said she had been waiting since 1030. Keep in mind I walked in at 2am… totally not acceptable for a concerned parent. The ONLY reason I have this review 3 stars is because my wife gave birth here 5 days ago and the staff was Amazing. Emergency room wait time… not so much. FYI before you go here check the wait times online. I checked after I arrived and waited for 45 mins and found another option. CMC Harrisburg on Rocky River Rd

I had a pleasant experience here today. I highly recommend Misty the Ultrasound Tech. She knows her stuff.

So, the doctors and nurses were great. But it took a LONG time to get help after the diagnosis. We’ve been waiting an hour and counting for a simple prescription. In addition, the registration department had to come back multiple times to ask for the same information over and over again.

I have to say giving a hospital a review is not something I would ever think of doing! But here I am. My husband was admitted last Saturday night and was discovered he had multiple blood clots. University hospital and their staff on the 6^th floor was amazing. There were several nurses they were all amazing but nurse Susan and Nurse Cayce. I can not thank them enough for taking such good care of not only my husband but his family as well. I give this hospital and their staff 5 stars. I would trust them with my loved ones any time in need. I have to give some shout out to Miss Rhonda the nurses aide. she seriously has an awesome personality and made us all laugh.

I’ve had to visit the Emergency Room at CMC university twice this past week as ERs are apparently the only place to get rabies vaccinations. I dreaded going, thinking I’d be waiting for hours. Fortunately, they run a tight ship. I was called back for intake within 10 minutes of arriving both times (9am on a Wednesday and 6 pm on Sunday). The meds were quickly ordered from the pharmacy, and I was on my way home within the hour. Also a plus, every nurse I’ve gotten knows how to give a shot without a lot of pain.

This hospital is always crowded as any hospital but the nurses and PAs are nice and knowledgeable people. I was in and out pretty fast for a emergency room visit lol

CMC University is another of those places that I pass a lot. Not as much as some of the others on the list this week, because I am not in the University area all that much these days. But I do find myself going past them quite often. Generally you will not even notice that you are going past a hospital.
So it was that we ended up in the emergency room one night (as we so often do). As emergency rooms go, theirs is top-​notch. Not one of those cramped places where you feel like one of you are about to be booked into a holding cell, here it is actually quite nice, all things considered. And even better, you will find that you are not waiting all night to get into a room and treated — even if you are just being checked out after a (relatively) minor car wreck.
There have been times at other facilities that even getting into a room has taken the better part of a night. At CMC University, checking in, getting a room and getting discharged was all done in just a couple of hours. Sweet. I would probably suggest avoiding the situation altogether if you can, but if you are unable to do so, it is definitely a decent choice.
