St Joseph’s Hospital-St Paul

Stopped by for X-​Rays after our car was t boned by a drunk driver good times very nice staff.

First time going to St. Joseph’s and as far as hospitals go, I liked it. It is easy to get to, parking is abundant, and the employees were helpful and friendly.
I, thankfully, was just visiting someone and hopefully, will never have to be a patient here, but if things change, I will update my review when I have more to say.

I have yet to visit St. Joseph’s, but have had relatives in for care: my late grandfather years ago for a heart attack, my late great aunt for a brain aneurysm, and now my grandmother for a stroke just this past Tuesday. Though I did not speak to the neurologist and neurointerventional radiologist, I could tell my mother was reassured that everything would work out. They ended up doing a procedure similar to an angioplasty to remove the klot and a couple days later, my grandmother is gaining back function and is anxious to start therapy and return back to Serenity Assisted Living (see my review.) Thank you St. Joseph’s for saving my grandmother’s life as I know you guys specialize in strokes among other things.

It’s odd to write a review of a hospital, but having delivered 3 babies here and visited the Outpatient Lab a few times, I dig this place hard-​core.
My last trip to the Outpatient Lab was to get some blood drawn on my 9-​month-​old babe. I had my other two kiddies in tow. The staff was super-​cool to all the wee ones (I don’t always get a great reception toting those rascals around). We had to come back again and the staff was once again awesome, chatting up the older girls and giving them stickers and blowing up gloves into balloons. HILARIOUS!
It was a great experience considering the circumstances.

If you love mazes here you go. Lets say it’s better to be a patient than a visitor here. Hell, it could be a new theme bar, like Donny Dirks. Major construction going on, and it needed it. Got here at 4:30 AM, and by the time I got to pre-​op for kidney stone removal, I didn’t know what building I was in. The new building on 10^th st.(seems to specialize in renal) is beautiful. A comfortable area inside and out for waiting. I’ve been having the luck of the Irish with hospital experiences. The care I got was perfect (no pain after), and I was out before I hit the OR. The staff had the nicest, caring, and competent people. The absolute nicest always seem to be on the night shift. I was here exactly 20 years ago for the birth of my son, and it was awful, complete with nurse Ratchet, and my dr. that couldn’t be bothered showing up because she wasn’t on call. But personnel, and obviously hospitals change so I’ll use my brain and just rate in this century. Just glad to be Unilocaling again.
