Columbia St Mary's Hospital Milwaukee: "Wait time for emergency room was very long at the lake drive location in Milwaukee. Checked in at 6:30PM. It's 10P and we are still in the waiting room. This is unacceptable for emergency room care. We've been here so long that I had to request another oxygen tank for mom as hers ran low while we are waiting. " - Anthony

Columbia St Mary's Hospital Milwaukee: "1-7-22
Our wait time at ascension hospital ER in Mequon is over 8hrs. We had people check in after us and get admitted before. My fiancé asked the nurse when she would be next (being that we were skipped over several times) and the unprofessional nurse gave her a serious attitude. This place sucks, the nursing staff is unprofessional. I could not imagine something real serious. If you have to come here, you might die waiting!!" - Sonny
