Froedtert Hospital has lazy, incompetent staff!

by N. P.

Took my daughter to the ER there & never again! We were there for about 8hrs. She was in severe pain. Unfriendly, lazy nurses & doctors. Sounded like they were having a party right outside our room!
Very unprofessional! Did not give the impression they were busy wth patients..... they were busy laughing & making week end plans (its was only Monday night!)

I had to get my daughter some water myself, after waiting about 20 min. after the nurse said she would get it.

If you take a loved one there..... you better prepare to be there a very long time! And don't expect a smile or introduction from a nurse either

Dr. Wade Mueller is a top doc in Milwaukee

by Urban E. | insider Insider | Rank: 32,309

Dr. Mueller is one of Milwaukee's top doctors, as indicated by Milwaukee Magazine. As proof, I offer you my story. I herniated 2 discs in my back 9 years ago & had numerous surgeons recommend surgery. I was scared, because I had so many colleagues tell me that back surgery is a crap shoot. But I had no choices; I had such severe sciatica that my driving privileges were revoked and I was unable to function most of the time. Luckily, I was referred to Dr. Wade Mueller by a colleague of mine who was in a terrible accident, rendering him unable to have use of one of his arms. He was operated on by Dr. Wade Mueller, a neurosurgeon at Froedtert, who restored function in his arm again. Hearing my colleague's experience with Dr. Mueller, I made my appointment & waited for his response. He was fantastic on every level - brilliant, conservative in his approach, down to earth, caring. I went ahead and had Dr. Mueller do my back surgery and I also went through PT at Spinecare afterwards. Needless to say, 9 years post surgery and one baby later, I am still pain free! I cannot tell you how fantastic it feels to know that I can drive, walk, sit, and play sports with my kids without pain. To see me pre-surgery compared to post-surgery, you would think that Dr. Mueller performed nothing short of a miracle. Well, it gets even better. Fast forward to another woman's story.
Just last year I received a call from a friend whose co-worker needed life saving brain surgery. She had been operated on before & was told she was out of options or too high risk. She had 2 young children at home & was desperate for help. I listened to her story and told her to make a appointment with Dr. Mueller. She did. He agreed to operate on her, fully informing her that she was a very risky case (which she knew going in). The surgery went well even though she was betting against the odds. I am happy to report that today she is alive and well, enjoying her family like she hoped. As I said, I cannot describe, without gushing, the impact Dr. Mueller made on my life and so many others like me. I hold Dr. Mueller in the highest regard & hope that others in need will find hope in these stories.

Friendly

by kathleen B. | insider Insider | Rank: 16,913

I had ankle surgery at Froedtert and the nurses and doctors were so friendly. I was very scared of needles so they tricked me...one nurse called my name and I looked over at her and the other quickly gave me a shot while I was turned away...it didn't even hurt!!
