  My 2 bad experiences in labor and delivery: My daughter was born in 2014 at Methodist hospital on 16th street in indianapolis. Before she was even born (as well as after), my husband i specifically told nurses NO IMMUNIZATIONS...They kept waiting til my husband left the room and pressured me to get them for my baby, by telling me the man has no say so and they could give our baby the shots if i wanted. I said NO My son was born 2016 at the same Methodist hospital. (Ironically its the ONLY hospital my insurance allows me to deliver). They had waterbirth tubs available ; i had a consent form signed weeks in advance for a waterbirth. I understand that things happen and if in use, then ok. But 2 out of 4 were in use and they simply had not cleaned the other 2 yet. And chose not to. After my son was born, i signed a form for his circumcision to be done there at Methodist BEFORE we were to be discharged. Now, i wear scarves alot. For many reasons. But because of that, and because my husband had a quran, which he reads that among many other religious books and science books, the staff sent in a "muslim" nurse with a scarf on and a white nurse who BOTH stood and told us there is no medical reason at all for a baby boy to be circumcised and that its usually a religious belief....i wont explain how pissed we were about that. Those nurses had already given my son a ahot to prepare him for the circumcision but refused to do his circumcision... I had to wait until my 1st postpartum appointment to schedule his circumcision at Riley Hospital; it was 3 weeks later he got circumcised. I could have assumed the nurses were just misunderstood, but im not stupid. They are racist, prejudice, assuming, disrespectful, noncompliant with patient demands, and i have not cared for either experience i have had there. Now im due with my next son. Was only going back because my husband asked me to give them 1 more chance, and he liles the food there -_- But i recently found an AMAZING doula and WILL never deliver at Methodist again. Thank God... A woman goes through enough just trying to bring a baby into this world, aside from dealing with overbearing hospital staff. I praise doulas and midwives for their hard work and dedication. ✊👍

  So amazed with how IU Methodist was so friendly and caring when my son was in an car accident. The Social Workers are great, made sure my son had a way home with a mobility van, and made sure he got to and from the specialists. The Doctors explained everything that needs to be done, step by step. Would recommend The Hospital to anyone that asks.

  This hospital would be a 5 star hospital due to the phenomenal care they provide. The therapy department is A1. But I had to give a 2 star because the room floor, corners and cove bass are unbelievable filthy. The staff in the hallway and nursing station are loud-having on going conversations about any and every event. The young lady who came to change my husband bed arrived with her lunch empty containers in her hands explaining she would return when he gets up to walks with therapy. What kind of training does the staff receive?

  My grandma was there for the last 4 days of her life. She wasn't awake for three. She was in surgery for 10-12 hours. The staff made sure that the family was all there. They made sure that we were all okay. They gave us a quite room. They didn't let us leave without knowing that my grandma was safe in their hands. I just want everyone to know, they are the best hospital that I have been to so far.

  The reason I am not giving a 5 star rating is that I cannot close my eyes for a few minutes while sitting in the ICU units with my wife who was recently involved in a life endangering car accident that left her battered and broken from the pelvis up. I'm told I have to go to the waiting room while I worry about her. I'm sorry but I have been going almost non stop for the past week, at the time I'm giving this review, on less than 24 hours of sleep in 7 days due to worrying about my wife dying while I'm not by her side. I was at the edge of the room and just closed my eyes for a few minutes. I understand that if something happened to her and I was asleep they may not be able to react as quickly due to waking me up, that she could die. Other hospitals allow cargivers to remain by the patients side and even sleep if they need to. As far as the care goes, I'm 90% satisfied. There have been a few nurses that have not given adequate service to my wife as a patient but most have been right there when she needs something and have been able to give excellent service. I thank the hospital doctor of the ICU units for saving my wife's life. I'm just not happy about some of the service received. In general, keep up the good work. I would recommend this hospital to those who may need their service despite my 4 star rating.
