When checking out the receptionists/schedulers could be friendlier. We don't want to be there to begin with but since it's necessary for the appointment having all employees be sympathetic and caring to patients should be top priority.

September 29, 2025
The friendliness of the staff was excellent. The team was great. But the TV, come on now. Those channels are the worst channels in this world. Y'all have got to get some better TV. I mean, we're stuck there five hours, eight hours a day and watching either QVC or, you know, or Christian stuff, or cartoons and kids stuff, and some of it's even inappropriate cartoons. It's just like, come on now, or we'll have to watch what's for, is there anything y'all can do about getting us some really good channels? I mean, and Lifetime will be great. You know, something to keep us occupied without letting us know we're in a place that, man, we are sent to suffer.

I really like Dr Kerim's nurse Robyn, she was very knowledgeable about my folder and was patient and easy to talk to. Dr Kerim was also great. Calm, easy to talk to and I felt like he and Robyn has looked at my chart as an individual, not a protocol patient.

The nurse practitioners and physician assistants are great. They have shown great concern about all aspects of my health and well being. I haven't seen or spoken to my Dr. in well over a year (or two) so I can't say much about him. I understand that my status is stable and others need more hands on treatment
5
April 11, 2025
I am a rare case. I am thankful that the care is caring and respectful. The Nurse Practitioner is interested in learning about the disease. She is very caring. Always includes my opinion on what I am dealing with on a daily basis, and is eager to help. This kind of care is rare when it come to a disease that most have never heard of it let alone have a patient with it. Thank you to all the staff in the Hemotology Dept.

The lady who checked me in was so kind and sweet. After I had gotten the diagnosis, I was leaving and she was in the hall and I told her I did not need radiation or chemo!! She was so happy for me. She told me to have a wonderful weekend. She was the first person I told the good news to and it felt wonderful to say it out loud!!!
5
February 07, 2025
The tech who did my scan was very patient with me. He got me a blanket because I was cold, he was courteous and told me exactly what he was going to do and when. He said he had done this for 32 years
5
February 05, 2025
Yes, they treated me like I was one of them. I have never been to a hospital that treated me as nice as they did. And I would very likely send anyone to St. Bernard's. And I thank you very much.

January 28, 2025
My nurse and the provider were both very helpful and made me feel at ease. The only thing I have to complain maybe would be the receptionist was on the phone at the center on talking to her personal business for a long extended period of time and didn't even look up when I came to check in. I thought that was a little odd. But other than that, everything was good. Thank you.
