I love Emory Winship Cancer Institute and think it’s amazing how modern the new facility is with the private suites. It’s a relief because I don’t have to go to different offices trot treatment. I am highly impressed with Emory’s patient centered care. I have the best oncologist and nurses at Emory Winship Dr. Jade Jones and Nurse Natosha Manning-Rollins. This place is the gold standard of cancer treatment in the heart of Midtown Atlanta.
If I could give 0 I would. I am a current patient for over 2 years now. My provider sent an order for interventional radiology to insert a port. The next day the order was escalated to urgent. It’s been over 5 days and no one from this department has even bothered to contact me. My previous experience took them 8 weeks to complete a simple biopsy. I had to find a private facility to handle my request in a timely fashion. A person could easily die in the amount of time they take to respond.
If I could give a 0 I would their radiology department is a joke my brain surgeon ordered an MRI and MRS in June at a facility that couldn’t do the MRS so they had me rescheduled with the windship institute, for August 5 a Saturday then 3 days before my appointment their radiology department called me to tell me they can’t do it on a Saturday and that I would have to reschedule for September. They are passing me around like a hot potato while I’m trying to deal with brain cancer. The staff not just in radiology is very unprofessional and only seem to care about the paychecks not the patients
Emory touts itself as a top hospital in cancer research & treatment. It boasts about being in the top 50 nationally, and #1 in Georgia note: Ga. is in the top 10 of worst healthcare in nation. Emory also boasts about closing the gap in equitable inclusion in clinical trials for underserved communities. All of this sounds great in ads, but has not been my experience as a patient there. In fact, I am on a waiting list for a phase 1 trial, however the Emory doctor that I was seeing has left. Do you know how I found out? I was trying to schedule my new CT scans, and received a reply in the my chart portal from the nursing staff. I’ve since called and left messages over a 2 week period on the number provided for the clinical trial dept. but no one ever answers or return phone calls. I reached out to Emory’s Outreach coordinator, and a Social Worker. No response. I even reached out on Twitter. They said they would help, but locked their DMs. I invested money & time in trying to pursue clinical trials at Emory. How ironic that they did an entire study purposing their efforts to include more Blacks in clinical trials. Yet, despite all of my effort, I can’t even get a return phone call. Sadly, the institution as a whole has messaged to me through the handling of this that they don’t care. That they would rather look good on paper and in ads, than to do the work and actually be good. #Disappointing
I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia 2 1/2 year ago, and recently faced a round of chemo. My gut instinct told me to get a second opinion. I went to Piedmont Cancer Institute and guess what? I don’t have cancer. I have a rare autoimmune disorder. The way I was treated by Emory was truly unconscionable, the emotional toll that a cancer diagnosis took over the past two years was truly life changing. I won’t get that time back. My symptoms were debilitating at times from an autoimmune disorder which is what I really had and my doctor could care less In fact she would make up things in the clinical notes ie answers to questions she never even asked me. I would wait more than an hour and a half to see her for less than 5 minutes. No wonder she made up false information she didn’t stay in the exam room long enough to find out how I was really doing. With all the alleged research Emory does you’d think they could make an accurate diagnosis. I would never go back to Emory. Ever. There are many examples I could give of their incompetence but I don’t want to relive it all. I now go to Piedmont and the care, concern and knowledge shown by the doctors and staff are far superior to anything I experienced at Emory. My health is better than ever because I’m finally getting the proper treatment.
I recently had genetic testing done. I was told that it would be free for other in my family. Well they charge $489 for the consultation and the $35 testing is free. Very deceitful and I feel like I wasted everyone in my families time. I would not recommend!!!
This is the most dysfunctional,unorganized, unprofessional, inconsiderate place I've ever been. They do not care about their patients time as they will leave you setting for hours and hours to be seen. We have been coming to Emory for 4 years now and the whole hospital is a joke. I am looking for a new oncologist.
I'm going to share the first two weeks of my father's cancer journey here. The ONLY reason we remain at Emory is because the specialized care and proton radiation he needs can only be found at Emory. My father was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer at the end of Sept. An MRI was requested before we could begin chemotherapy, which we were told needed to start as soon as possible. When we received the phone call for the MRI we were told the first available apt was not until January. It took over a week to get this straightened out. Next came his port, he was told he needed a port for his infusion treatments. Two weeks have gone by and we haven't even received a phone call regarding this process. THEN my dad received a phone call saying he had a chemotherapy appointment the following day. For those following along, he did not have a port, and it would have been his FIRST chemo apt. We were given less than 24-hours notice. My father showed up for his chemo appointment and when he arrived the clinic had NO IDEA what he was there for. He and my mother BOTH took a day off of work and they didn't so much as draw blood. They live over an hour away from Emory. You can not speak with anyone on your care team, ALL you can do is call their main number, leave a message with a nice person on the phone who isn't getting paid NEARLY enough to take the abuse they MUST be getting from frustrated patients and family members trying desperately to get information about their own care or their loved ones. IF you have any other option AT ALL for your choice of care, by all means do NOT pick Emory. This stressful time in our lives has been made even MORE stressful by Emory's horrible communication practices, and it is CLEAR they are definitely NOT patient-centric!!!!
I have been diagnosed with Renal Carcinoma in my right kidney and wanted to get a second opinion at Winship since they proclaim to be a top-notch cancer treatment center. I called about getting an appointment over two weeks ago. I was told by a nice lady that took my information that a referral coordinator would return my call in the next few days for an appointment. I gave the lady my current diagnosis in detail, all my doctor's names, addresses, and fax numbers, so they could have all my test results sent over. After 3 days I called again because no one had called with my appointment date. I was told that someone would call me by the day's end, but still no call. I waited a few more days and called again. I was told that they had all my test results but couldn't understand why someone hadn't called to schedule my appointment but she would put in another request. That brings us to today. I called today and told the lady that my cancer is growing and could she please have someone call me, and she said that she apologized but again someone should call me by this evening. Well, it's 4:26 on Friday evening and it appears that I will sit in a very depressed state thinking about how the cancer is growing inside me and I can't even get a call back after two weeks of trying. My suggestion to anyone looking for a cancer center is to look elsewhere. UPDATE*** I just now at 4:37 received a call back as I am typing this review. I was shocked, to say the least. She said that I needed to see their prostate specialist for my prostate cancer. I politely told her that I was diagnosed with renal cancer and not prostate cancer and that I was very concerned about the way things were going with me trying to get an appointment. She told me that they were changing computer systems and that was the reason for the problems. I told her that I was looking at reviews dating back months with people having the same problems that I am experiencing. She now tells me that I will need to wait for someone in their urology department to call. Anyways I have an appointment with an Oncologist Monday and it was made with one single phone call... BEWARE!!!
Really a top notch place. They have taken very good care of my daughter thus far through radiation and chemo. I cannot stress enough how great the doctors are here. Her lead doctor, Doctor Leal is really the best. She keeps up with her treatments and regularly consults with her and us, her family. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that a few of the employees here are quite rude. Not the medical staff but other staff including the parking garage and the security lady on the 2nd floor. They have a tray there for free snacks and she yelled at my daughter for "contaminating" the snacks because my daughter simply picked up a few of them to look at what they were as she didn't have her glasses with her because she just had a scan downstairs. The security guy on the 1st floor Is really wonderful. He greets us with a smile and "good morning" when we come in
