Aurora De LuciaOctober 13, 2013Bring snacks you really like! I'm SO grateful for this hospital, but patient's food is not my favorite - & it's very scheduled. Bring delicious things & eat when you want. (Cafeteria's good, though.) Read more
Ernest DeriabinDecember 2, 2014The most friendly nurses I've ever seen in my life. I have to have iron infusions every year, but my visits to infusions department always make me happy
Boston.comDecember 11, 2013There's a little-known MGH museum with artifacts from 200 years of history, including 19th-century x-ray-generating tubes and microscopes. Read more

James HamiltonApril 19, 2014The nurses and doctors in the ICU saved my life....plus the lattes are pretty good. The volunteers are amazing
Check out the Healing Garden on the eighth floor of the Yawkey building. The view of back bay and the Charles river is unbeatable. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.
The waits may be long at times, but it's a world class hospital. You're receiving the best treatment possible. So proud to be an employee at MGH!
This hospital is half of the namesake of the Charles/MGH Red Line station. Although, if it's fairly serious, you may want to call an ambulance rather than rely on the MBTA.
If you're being admitted, try to get sent to Phillips House 22. Amazing views of the city, gorgeous rooms and Direct TV movie channels. I could live here.
skyleJanuary 13, 2012Did you know most hospitals have a hair salon? MGHs is in level one next to the gift shop, in case you're spending a lot of one here or with a loved one.
Best place to have a private call: small alcove off the main lobby on the left near the newspaper vending machines
The chocolate chip cookies at Coffee Central can keep you going even during the longest shifts. Open 24 hrs.
Dr William Zivi's Neurosurgeon is one of the best ever. So with the news received I have a lot of thinking to do🤔🤔
Theresa SarnoAugust 9, 2013Typical wait time. Love how the red line goes right near hospital very convenient
For those who require Diet Pepsi instead of Coke products, the machines on B1 by the Blake elevators near the caf has all Pepsi products
The Chapel is a quiet place to silently seek serenity through prayer.
The patient advocacy department is helpful if you have a problem with a doctor or experience @MGH
I have to agree with Patty O's assessment of the Cafe staff. Just unhappy peopley- When I get home from MGH, first meal is buffalo wild wings, then a nice dinner show, thanks to a very generous guy, Dick D!
Lyndsay SenechalNovember 4, 2011Dr. Ronald Thibert is intelligent and compassionalte (pediatric neurology dept)- highly recommended!- Get the bed near the window. Even if you look out at another building
- Public Affairs (Mike)June 14, 2011Free shuttle service is available for patients, visitors and employees of Massachusetts General Hospital. Read more
Have a baby here if you aren't busy, or you're pregnant. It's a good time !- On beautiful days, enjoy your lunch on the gorgeously maintained grassy spot in front of the Bulfinch building...
High speed wifi. Check in with you laptop. :-) long waits for help, but you'll have the internet!!- Great Turkey sandwich and mitts applesauce combo. Avoid the apple juice cup.
All transactions ATMs (bank of America and Citizens) near main lobby
Mary 279October 31, 2012Having an iPad or iPod helps too not just a laptop if you don't want to carry it
They have people here that are like veterinarians but for humans.
Christopher KerrAugust 26, 2010Have lunch at Mass Eye & Ear cafe (5th fl) for a great view of the Charles & Cambridge
