As an out of state Doc from Minnesota. I'm impressed with the doctors, staff, facility and care my father has received there. They've treated my dad beautifully and got him back on his feet again. The physical and occupational therapists at Westmoreland are exceptional. Your optimism and professionalism is inspirational. Many thanks!!!

I went in to lf hospital yesterday because of really bad abdomen pain. This is actually the first time I've ever wrote a review but I wanted to thank the staff from the doc to the nurse to the guy who wheeled me in. Everyone was very friendly and caring. Plus I met a really cute volunteer girl of my nationality with whom I got to chat for a while. To the people who complain about long wait times, this is a hospital not an oil change... The nurses especially are overworked and often underpaid for what they do. Unless you're on your deathbed, be patient and wait your turn. There's other people who have far more serious conditions from complicated pregnancies to senior citizens to car accident victims. If you can manage to play Tetris on your cell phone you are not their top priority nor is your pain a 10. Most importantly be honest about everything - medicine, past conditions, lifestyle. The staff isn't there to judge you not play detective - they're there to treat and help you feel better and it makes their job 10x harder if you're dishonest.

All they want to do is make money. Yeah sure they get rid of the pain pretty quick but they don't make sure you stay out of pain and they don't give test results. Had tests don't several days ago and I've been trying to get those results for days now and they won't give them to me.

If I could give a negative five I would. Anyone looking for a natural, noninvasive childbirth experience "DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL!" I have had 7 children 4 birthed at hospitals, 1 at a birthing center and 2 at home, I know about childbirth. This experience was my daughter and son in-laws nightmare experience, first child, it should be a time of joy. The OB respected my daughters birth plan and she was great. The nurses were great and caring, however 4 nurses at the birth of one child is unnecessary. They also didn't give her any guidance whatsoever, which I was able to do, that wasn't required. However I wasn't able to stand at her bedside because there were to many nurses. Now the nightmare. I and no one else that I know have ever heard of a pediatrician being on call at a hospital to be at every birth. Most hospitals they are on call in case of an emergency, but they have a pediatrician at every birth. The pediatrician took over the care of my grandson completely, my daughter had two minutes with him. Everyone who has any 21st century knowledge of babies and mommies at birth know that skin to skin is what regulates a baby's breathing. I had this experience twice where my children came out breathing rapidly, one of them had bubbles in their mouth so the skin on skin face down took care of it while baby was watched by mommy and nurses. My grandson, with the same experience was whisked away to the special care nursery, given oxygen, IV glucose (they never explained this one), started on antibiotics even though they were in the process of testing. All tests came back negative, no fluid on lungs, no infection. They ran another blood test because they didn't believe the first one. All the while baby is kept from mommy till I made them let her have skin to skin time. Respirations were normal after just a few hours but he was kept on oxygen another day and a half "just in case", all the while he is still being given antibiotics as well, "just in case!". Second test came back negative. In the mean time my daughter wanted a vitamin K shot without preservatives or the oral k, the pediatrician we are currently reporting said the oral k is not good enough and you take the shot they have. She called my daughter and son-inlaw negligent parents and called DCFS, YES YOU READ IT RIGHT! SHE CALLED DCFS BECAUSE THEY WANTED A NONTOXIC OPTION FOR THEIR CHILD!! The vitamin K is not mandated in the state of Illinois and it just so happens that Lake Forest Hospital has the preservative free shot. She never bothered to look! All the while well into his first day all we are hearing from the nurses is how well he is doing. Numbers are great. By this time I'm consulting with nurses who don't work there with what his numbers are and I'm hearing from everyone that he should no longer be on oxygen, he never should have been hooked up to IV or given antibiotics. And definitely should not have had DCFS called! The third day we are told he has to stay for another day, that would be four days for observation. Well that was the last straw!! I called a lawyer, asked for records, called a meeting with head of department. I'am in the process of filling out paperwork to report this doctor and it looks like it is a group of pediatricians that are on call, and they are all in one accord with this standard practice of taking the children from their moms. We were discharged that night to go home. When we left, the nursery was full with not one empty bed. My last 3 grandchildren were born at Christ Advocate Sherman and the baby's never left the room. This birth was no different than those births, he breathing was just a little rapid because he had to get his lungs working. He cried strong and hard for some time which is also what clears everything. Beware of the social worker as well, they show up right before the DCFS worker. She profiled us, I know because she asked two personal questions of me she should have never asked, then met with the worker, I saw her take him back to meet with him. BEWARE!!!!
