This place saved me. First, the Charity Care helped me financially during a tough time. Second, the doctors and reception are helpful. I visited three times. All the doctors were nice, thorough, and helpful. They seem fresh with energy, and genuinely interested in helping you heal. They speak with you on such a level, so we get to the root of the issue. My visit today was also great! Dr. Lauren Rosenblum and her staff were efficient, understanding, and sensitive. Thank you for the service !

What a terrible inpatient experience. I was there for a week (they could not figure out what was wrong) which gives me a good perspective (an emergency open heart surgery patient was sent home less than 24 hours after the surgery). First, no medical personnel communicated about my condition. The doctor who was assigned to me during my stay had never been told what happened; nor did he ask me. I had become paralyzed and the EMS had to break down my door and yet all that someone had told him was that I was slurring my words, as I was doing once I began to regain movement. Four days after I arrived, my sister the nurse talked to the doctor and he listened to her, and he came in and blamed me for not telling him what he never asked, as he made 20-second-long visits to my bed once a day.

The staff was terrible. No one ever asked if there was anything I needed. If I wanted to ask for something I had to ring a bell and announce to the world what I needed. As I did not want to do this for small things, such as getting new footies, I waited for days for someone to ask if I needed anything. Once I did break in and ask a random nurse,  it was no one's job. 

When my blood pressure was too  low the nurse did not tell the doctor, she just kept measuring it and stressing me out till it was high enough. I asked her why she was doing that she said if she reported the actual number she would have to call a code blue. OK, well, I was not dying but a doctor needed to know. 

I was given medication for conditions they did not tell me I had, such as high cholesterol. They did not ask me what I wanted to take. There are medications I needed and I told the doctor and he write them down wrong. I had to smuggle my own in to get the right dosage till they would change it. Later on a doctor warned me about not taking the right dosage, which could lead to death. 

At one point a psychiatrist came to talk to me. He was very earnest, to show off for the intern with him. He asked if I have thoughts of death. I said yes. He said uh huh,  wrote it down, and that was it. No follow up. I was not suicidal but if I had been, how would I have felt?

etc etc! The worst. Much of this was caused because they laid off half the staff everywhere in the hospital and outpatient  when the place was bought out by Carepoint,

My in-network doctor did a procedure at this hospital which was apparently out of network - it was a planned procedure and I actually spoke to billing and ambulatory care and they mentioned that surgery costs would be covered by insurance. Now I am being saddled by monster surprise bills of out of service costs that were never divulged to me prior to the procedure.
My advice is run as far away from this facility as possible even if you have a great in network doctor. Look for another doctor because the hospital will find every way to extract whatever they can from you and if you are not completely sick, you will get very sick from the discussions with their billing etc. Even if they get a generous payout from your insurance, they will bill you a lot over and above. It is not worth the headache. I have dealt with other hospitals and never had to go through this weirdly inflated billing and negotiation.
My question is - do patients have no recourse in these situations? Can hospitals lie to you blatantly and get away with it? This is ridiculous.

RED FLAG! RUN WHILE YOU CAN. Do not bring your loved ones to this place. By far, this has to be the worst hospital in New Jersey . My father had a stroke on March 2017, in which we were told by the doctors at the emergency room that he will not make it out alive; that night he would have passed away. They decided to admit him to the hospital until he was pronounced dead. When admitted, we had to deal with extremely unprofessional staff, that although my father was dying, they would still talk to us with zero respect. Because my father didn’t have health insurance at that time, they would make remarks that there is not enough materials to use on him bc the hospital is paying for everything they were using on him. There was a day that this CNA was telling me how much everything costed, as if she was the one paying for it. Even the towels to clean him off were a big issue to be provided. The nurses did not want to clean my father either; one nurse even told me that I had to earn to clean him off myself...my dad was there for 2 months and thankfully was able to walk and talk again after we were told he would not (God is great). When he came out , the gastro never took his time to remove his feeding tube that was attached to his abdomen. For months, my father had this tube attched to his body. We took him to Christ Hospital emergency to see if they could remove it since he was bleeding from it already; they couldn’t do anything neither. We kept trying to make an appointments with charity to remove this feeding tube, but AGAIN, because he had no health insurance, everything had to be done in the same hospital. We tried to get him an insurance as well, but we were told we had to wait until November for the insurance market to reopen again.  Christ Hospital never had a gastro available for charity
; we waited for months. He was discharged May 2017 and by October he had his second stroke, thanks to Christ hospital negligence. My father got his feeding tube removed at Hackensack hospital when my father had  his second stroke, but this time, he went into a coma. The reason he had the second stroke was due to the blood thinners prescribed by Christ Hospital charity care staff (Walfarin). They kept insisting for my father to take this medicine for a longer period than it should have been taken. Because of this medication, his blood got way too thin and his second stroke took over his life. My father is now dead, thanks to the negligence of Christ Hospital and there is nothing that can be done to heal this pain we all feel. This could have been prevented. I am now assisting medical school and I hope that one day I could help those in need. The main reason to be part of the medical field should be because you want to help your patients feel better. This is not the case in this hospital! I don’t understand how this hospital is even open. We literally were treated so poorly by most staff (not all) while my father was almost dying. There is no compassion, no love for what they do. It breaks my heart to see what a low income community has to put up with in order to be treated. This world is really messed up.

I have been to Christ Hospital several times & I can tell you, their care/service is terrible. The waiting room & ER can be completely empty & they still will take 1-2 hours to check you properly... I came in with a horrible wheezing cough for them to tell me it's just a cold... Then sent me home with an inhaler which made me worse. I went back & they still told me it was a cold.  I'm pretty sure I have bronchitis but they don't want to actually do their jobs & take proper care of you. The doctors need to rethink their professions & do something else.
