Like any large place, there are better and worse staff but I've come here many times as the mom of a bunch of kids and for myself, I've been in regular ER, also women's ER, also children's ER, also labor and delivery, also pediatric nephrology, also orthopedics. Overall, I trust Shaarei Tzedek to be professional, the doctors are experienced and the staff helpful. Of course, there were sometimes difficulties, but I still wouldn't go to any other Jerusalem hospital. I also was here once with a friend whose granddaughter had received dangerous "care" with an Arab doctor at a different hospital and sent home, and when she got a dangerous infection as a result, they came to Shaarei Tzedek where the daughter got proper treatment. Labor and delivery is beyond overcrowded and the hospital as a whole is overcrowded, there are often long waits. Children's ER generally somewhat better but not always. But overall, knowledgeable properly trained staff and trustworthy hospital which is a lot, so I consider it worth the wait. For delivery, the only place I truly recommend is Laniado but if you can't get there and you can manage with 3 women to a room post-partum (which I think should be illegal) the staff is good. All the food made by the hospital is Eida Chareidis and it's a religious hospital, but each food vendor has their own kosher certification.

They took very good care of my Special Needs daughter. Thank you How ever when my son broke his leg we were treated bad, told to check out my son daily to return for a surgery that NEVER happened, just causing more heart ship on my special needs family. One Shabbat we had to sleep in the lobby because they checked out my son after Shabbat started and there aren't wheelchair cabs running on Shabbat. Very bad treatment for my special needs family!!!

Wonderful hospital - had to visit whilst on holiday in Israel. The staff were so kind and helpful. We were seen and treatment in the emergency department within 2 hours of arrival. Highly recommend

It is difficult to rate a hospital. Staff on ridiculously long shifts, life and death in the balance, waiting that never seems to end…. There are wards where I was treated kindly, and wards where I was not. My biggest compliment is the professionalism and the commitment of the staff. Even the ones that weren’t nice, I could see they were giving 100% to their job. My criticism is that the orthodox have totally taken over even though the large majority of the staff aren’t Jewish everyone has to endure orthodox rules and influence. Also the Night Shift has to not wake people up unnecessarily for things like cleaning and emptying bins…

The staff here is very sweet and helpful in the various departments. There is a significant lack of space here though they are building a new emergency room. May Hashem bless us not to need any more hospitals and as the Rebbe said it should be a בית רפואה a house of healing.

Showed up via ambulance with severe flu symptoms. Took five hours before anyone gave me anything to feel better. Lots of patients on gurneys in the hallways, this place is very overcrowded. Shortage of pillows and blankets. No sinks in the exam rooms, doctors use hand sanitizer and call it good. If this is what the hospitals are like don't ever get sick in Israel.
