My personal experience at St V’s has been good. I recommend them. I went there in the first place because that is Reliant’s local area large hospital for anything advanced and that’s where you get sent fir most specialists (my cardiologist, ENT, etc)

As a caregiver I have been involved in a lot of trips to Umass and my opinion (again not personal experience) is that it is not any better than St V’s in a general sense and the ER is definitely worse.
I have some very specific memories of ER experiences at umass belmont that have left me with a very bad taste. Pain management should be top on the list of priorities and I remember when finally some pain meds were given after a long wait and the patient finally had some relief and I was ready to smack someone i was so angry at that point. Enhhh healthcare sucks and I can’t say either is better hands down, unlike some people in this thread who give umass the clear victory. 🤷🏼‍♂️
