Henry Ford Hospital

I had been in the hospital 2.5 days. 1.5 was in the ER with great people giving great care. I was there for seizures, from alcohol and an Abcess that cannot be drained. It needs constant IV antibiotics. Say nothing for the pain from the abcess (2 one is a golf ball, One is a Raquet ball) they give me appropriate meds when I was in ER. Then upstairs they cut out my W/D med immediately. . . I got upset and paged the attending physician ASAP and was told 2 lies. One that there is Maximum amount they are allowed to give 1,400mg and id exceeded that the previous day. I replied, I knew one infusion that takes an hour is less than 100mg, and I CERTAINTLY wasn't on one for that long. So now im complaining all morning about how I feel like I'm going to have one and the people on that floor, for whatever reason, I feel collectively positive that as a group they decided not to like. So 2 hours later lunch comes, Im Sitting up on the edge of my bed trying not to shake food all over, and BAM. . . I fell still on the floor, for about 3 seconds and came back to. Nurses all around me and the attending physician telling me after the fact. . . You didn't have a seizure, I had words, nothing racial, but not nice things. I later apologized but by then Security was kicking me out. IDK what to do, still very sick, Don't need a repeat of doctors not believing me bc im 39 and wear a hoodie. . . Thanks for reading. Henry J. Ford was a great American Patriot. He revolutionized the entire world's industrial revolution. Anyway thanks for reading this. It was hard. Always try things the hard was first.

I find the nursing and doctor staff to be simply amazing. Excellent skills, knowledge and communication. A HUGE shout out to Miss Tory in housekeeping who worked 9-3-25 for her exemplary cleaning. Only person I seen in 4 days properly clean a room. Kudos Tory.

My loved one's surgical team is amazing. I hope that the rest of the surgical staff is equally amazing. I agree with the other reviews--with the exception of Nurse Leila, that everyone else is a useless waste of employment. Real teachers LOVE what they do. Henry Ford nurses and their assistants are clearly here for the pay/education...ZERO COMPASSION NEITHER FOR THEIR PATIENTS NOR THEIR PATIENTS' FAMILIES. They ignore warning signals from the machines meant to save your loved one's life, they leave biohazardous material strewn all over the room for the cleaning staff to clean up AND THEY USE THE UNISEX RESTROOM OFTEN--WHICH THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USING!!! We cannot go into the STAFF ONLY RESTROOMS SO THEY SHOULD GO HIDE AND USE THEIR PHONES IN THOSE PLACES! WHY does this matter, you ask? Look at the patient manifest pics. I found these four pages atop the tissue holder yesterday!! I looked over it to be sure that my loved ones name/info was not listed. LAZY. IRRESPONSIBLE. UNACCEPTABLE.

I’m giving 3 stars only because, thankfully, no harm was done — and during the first 24 hours after delivery, the staff did take good care of me and my baby. I came to the hospital in labor and ended up waiting at the front desk for two hours. It felt like patients who were louder got seen first, while I stood quietly trying to manage my contractions. When I was finally examined, I was already 7 cm dilated. Doctors pressured me to let them break my water, even though there was no medical need. It felt like they just wanted to speed things up for their own convenience, not mine. I wanted a natural birth, and it was disappointing to be pushed into decisions during such a vulnerable moment. I gave birth at 9PM. After delivery, I experienced pain in my left leg and kept asking for cold compresses and hot tea (as I was breastfeeding and needed to stay hydrated). The next day, I received a follow-up call from the hospital asking whether the staff was friendly and attentive. I said yes — and I suspect the staff knew about this follow-up, because they were more caring around that time. The next morning, we were supposed to be discharged and receive documents, but by midday, the paperwork still wasn’t ready. During the entire morning, my requests for tea and a cold compress were ignored. What hurt most was a comment from an OB tech named Markita, who looked at me with judgment and said I looked tired and unwell, in a tone that made me feel ashamed. As a new mother, I needed support — not criticism. This experience was emotionally hard. I expected compassion and care, but often felt rushed, ignored, and disrespected

Absolutely horrible my mother went to ER approximately 4:30am did not get into a room until 9:19pm. Emergency room is filthy, unsanitary, the staff sit around and talk to each other the whole time. Patients in the hallways in the beds in discomfort and sick. Nobody providing them service, then when ask for assistance the nurses & doctors state they are so busy but you see them sitting & talking for hours. The staff do not work as a team and there is no charge nurse giving any guidance! The bathroom absolutely disgusting. The cleaning staff need disciplinary action for not performing their job properly. This is not the first time this has happened to my mother, the first few times I thought they were overwhelmed and really busy but it has happened everytime my mom is transferred there. I have requested she change hospitals but all her doctors are apart of HF. And you never receive a straight answer from nurses or doctors about your care needs. ER front desk staff lazy & rude!

I went there yesterday because I have suicidal ideations and almost knocked out in front of a car the day before. They ended up letting me go into withdrawal by not giving me my medication. Then psychiatrist asked if I go home would I be safe and I said 100% know I will not be I will die. I attempted suicide yesterday. And he sent me home. Wants me to do a program that my insurance doesn't cover. I tried to do this program once already. I left there crying and telling them I am going to die. Not to mention every time I use the restroom there was pee on the toilet and the floor. No soap or paper towels. Maybe no paper towels cuz it's the psych unit. At one point there was poop all over the toilet and floor. There were bugs flying around in the bathroom. The nurses and medical doctor were all very nice they did bring me snacks. My watchers or sitters whatever you want to call them. Did seem to care a lot more than anybody else.

My wife is pregnant with twins, it is a high risk pregnancy. Unfortunately, they attempted to join the world a little too early. We went to the hospital and were informed she would have to receive an emergency procedure. Naturally, we were overwhelmed with concern. Is this the right hospital? Should we go somewhere else? One of the nurses mentioned this location specializes in high risk pregnancies. We went decided to stay. We met Dr. D’Angela Pitts, she was very helpful and comforting. She was extremely patient and took time to answer each one of the million questions I had. Dr. Pitts did not leave our sight without assuring we had every detail we asked for. She has the best bedside manner I’ve seen from any doctor. She preformed the emergency cerclage to close my wife’s uterus. During preparation, Dr. Pitts took time to check on me, and I’m not even the one going through the procedure. Before they started, she came out to let me know they were going to begin. After they finished, Dr. Pitts came back and let me know they were done. She explained it was a very difficult procedure and there was a complication. Most doctors may not have even attempted to complete the cerclage. Dr. Pitts attempted and succeeded. If we would have gotten any other doctor, this review would look much different. If we had gotten any other doctor, we may have lost the babies. Even over a month after the procedure, Dr. Pitts still checks in. She still answers out calls or texts. She continues to go out of her way. She makes you feel important, that you and your babies matter!

By far the worst experience I've had at a hospital. Completely unprofessional staff and zero urgency. I sat for 5 hours in the lobby only to get to the back and be in the hall with over 20 people waiting for rooms while being told that one was getting cleaned up for me. For a hospital of this size, the wait time and lack of communication are unacceptable. Definitely would not recommend unless you absolutely had no other choice. I have never experienced staff that has been so dismissive in my life. Why are you guys still open?
