Terrible ER.They don't listen to u or care about why u are there! Medexpress were more caring and concered about my issue of my port being infected with temp 101.9 sent me to the ER, , they could care less, when home to have to go see my surgeon bc they didn't do there job

I would have given 0 stars if I could but I couldn't post my review without at least 1 star. The absolute worst ER I have ever been to. My mom is 85 years old with chest pains and pain in her jaw and neck. We have been sitting in the ER for over 8 hours. Her legs and ankles are swelling. I asked if we could sit in the car so she could put her feet up in the backseat and they could call my cell phone when a bed came open.

I was told that if we were not in the waiting room when her name was called then she loses her spot. We are still waiting as I type this! They honestly do not care about the patients!

I had an at home sleep study through St. Mary's neuropsychology. This was January 18. After the study concluded, I was told my PCP would follow up with further information and I'd get a report in the mail. Fast forward 4 mo later, and Nothing! The only thing I received after my sleep study was the bill. I haven't received any input from my primary care physician, the sleep study clinic, or any correspondence in the mail.

I've called them six times over the last three months trying to get some information on what to do next or what to expect. SIX TIMES. no response. And when I complained to the billing department, they said they can't do anything and I would need talk to neuropsy, which is brilliant because I can't get ahold of anybody. So, I'll be forced to pay for services that were not render so as to not have it go to collections. They are absolute derelicts with customer care.

I had my thyroid removed @ St. Mary's Medical Center & stayed 2 nights. The hospital staff were friendly & the food was good. My room was huge! I had it all to myself, even.

It was the worst week of my life bc my mom went in and was gone 4 days later, bc she was an organ donor my cousin, my daughter, my sister n I was asked to do a walk of honor for her. Idk but I guess it was recorded so they could show other family's what it's ab. It was good she was honored in such a way but it's the worst thing I've ever had to do with her n the last thing we'll ever do with n for her again, ily mom(Ann Downer) Fly High beautiful

In October my grandmother had caught covid and was rushed here by an ambulance. Her oxygen kept dropping and every night she would call us telling us how she wanted to come home and that she was going to die there. The doctors wouldn't let her husband stay in the same room as her and he grew physically aggressive wanting to see her because they've never been parted before.

They sent him back home after restraining him all night knowing he hadn't slept for 2-3 days due to covid as well. All that week we asked about our grandmother's health and we were lied to saying she was great and doing amazing until Oct. 6 when mamaw calls us and can't speak but she's crying and saying she's going to die. She wanted to come home but they put her on morphine and took away her oxygen.

My grandmother is dead now and I can't sleep anymore without blaming these doctors for not telling us the truth on what was going on. All of our family is broken now thanks to the lack of information. Maybe be honest instead of hiding behind lies to make us stop calling. She said she wanted to go home because she wanted to die at home. Not go home to heaven, she never got to tell her husband goodbye.

She even asked for them to come into her room to talk before she passed but the declined her and my family. I hate this hospital for this and honestly I wished they asked for a power of attorney instead of letting someone out of her own right mind have the last say. She wasn't right in the head and everyone knew something wasn't right.

Holding a patient hostage who tested NEGATIVE for covid. Refused to do a bacteria pneumonia test for several days. Proceeds to treat him like a COVID patient, finally does the bacterial test, that was positive. Then proceed to violate the patients exemptions with procedures that caused the patient to deteriorate then switched him over to a new doc to cover their tracks. Extreme negligence and abuse.

Check in process for an outpatient procedure was quick and easy. The procedure took a little while to start but wasn't too bad. Staff made sure several times that I was aware of what was going on and what would be done. No problems other than the wait for it to start.

A fit paramedic in his 30s goes there to get an inhaler for symptoms he wants to deal with by himself, but gets held there against his protest despite testing negative for covid. He's not released since he was declared as 'a health threat to society.' He's held there against his and his representative's will for almost 2 months!

He was, despite his protests, ventilated which required administration of sedating drugs which paralyze the diaphragm (at least at high doses; so the patient can't breath when the breathing tube is removed if sedation isn't previously tapered off. This inability to breathe without ventilation while the diaphragm is still paralyzed by the drugs, is often explained as 'the patient can't breathe on his own, he will die' which often causes relatives to agree to the cessation of all treatments resulting in a patient's death). Additionally, this man received the often kidney damaging drug remdesivir against his and his representative's protest, and he even was inoculated twice with an experimental unsafe and non-effective gene therapy called 'c19 vaccine' without his or his representative's knowledge and despite the fact that he even had an exemption.

After the hospital agreed to move him out of the ICU, the patient was verbally abused; all that in addition to having lost 2 months of his life and freedom, and having potential negative health consequences caused by this involuntary hospital stay and inappropriate and unwanted medical treatment. How can this be happening on a hospital?

Was taken here by ambulance after a car accident. They x-rays they took still had my metal underwire in my bra and the back hooks. Told me there was nothing wrong in my shoulder when I had a HUGE bruise on it, swelling, and it pops like crazy now because it's healing wrong. They totally missed me having a severe concussion. Once my husband arrived there were things that happened I don't even remember.

They never checked the brain malformation I have even though it was on file with the hospital. Then they kicked me out of my waiting bed to put some dude that was HIGH in there and let me sit in a hard chair in a waiting room. The parts I remember were a terrible experience but my husband said it was worse than that so.

I have never been to any hospital that treats their patients the way St. Marys treated my fiance and myself. The staff there is very compassionate and very caring, and super friendly, almost like you were family. I live in Gallipolis, Ohio and the hospital here doesn't even come close to this place. They took excellent care of my fiance, and the Outpatient Surgery Department, and Urology Department are the very best I would definitely drive here again for the treatment we received

I had to wait 4 hours in the ER to see a doctor after I was taken to a room. Every time my mom asked staff when the doctor would see me she was told one hadn't signed up for me yet. Wow that makes no sense. I came in by ambulance from river park hospital because of very high blood pressure. I was there for alcohol withdrawal and was having tremors, high anxiety level and high blood pressure.

The nurse assigned to me only came in to see me twice. Once to retrieve my urine sample, after being reminded 3 different times it was ready and once to discharge me. I have never felt so uncared for at a hospital that's supposed to help and care for patients.

My husband's elderly, disabled, fragile, confused, much loved, mother was transported to St. Mary's from her assisted living residence with beautiful, long, elegant, silky, hair, that has always been her pride and joy. Earlier this week, she was transported to hospice after about two weeks of St. Mary's hospital ("care?") with a ball of matted hair nearly the size of a baseball on the top/back of her head, it was matted all the way to her scalp. At. St. Mary's, her hair had been "smoothed" and "tucked" behind her pillow, (she was barely moving in the bed, and was unable to ask for assistance with her hair or anything else) when we visited each day after work, the front of her hair looked fine.

After a couple of weeks of medical tests and observation, she continued to decline, then, she was transported to Hospice House. At Hospice house, they began working on the horrible matting almost immediately, now, two days later, it doesn't look like they will be able to ever get the matts out. After seeing the shape her hair is in, and knowing that it is likely the matts will have to be cut out, I blame myself for not checking my husband's mother's hair sooner.

I just didn't want to disturb her rest. No one has to tell me that this is a matter of patient neglect. I know it is. Please visit your elderly loved ones in this facility often, (it's not the St. Mary's of old now!) Please go over their bodies and inspect their body for any signs of personal neglect. Lift your loved one's head and check the condition of their long hair, because, trust me, the nursing staff at St. Mary's will not do that themselves. It's evidently, ALL on the family, there is evidently no one on the care staff that will take it upon themselves to do this very simple, vital, personal care task. It's simple neglect to send a patient to Hospice House with a mass of hair matted to the scalp! St. Mary's, it's disgraceful, shameful, and honestly, sadly, it's heartbreaking for her adult sons, my husband, and his brother, have to grieve the decline of their Mother and the insult to her personal human dignity as a woman, and as a human being deserving of kindness and compassion.

Back in the day, the nuns would have fired anyone who showed this level of lack of human compassion to an elderly patient that is near the end of their life! Be extra diligent when placing a loved one that is alone and unable to communicate their needs in this facility! Someone from the family needs to be there to make sure this kind of neglect is avoided. If that isn't possible, please ask friends, relatives, and church/community members to visit frequently/randomly and observe any elder, nonverbal patient's care.

Both my parents have been treated there. Very pleased! The staff goes over and beyond to take care of your loved one. They also help those that cannot afford to pay their hospital bill. Their main concern is the patient!

My Mother was in St. Mary's Hospital recently. She was housed on the Oncology Unit. She was attached to NO MONITORS, despite being in serious condition. During a dayshift, I noted ONE NURSE coming in to check on her. This was the only time a nurse paid a visit to my ill mother. I saw more housekeeping and food services staff that day than medical personnel.

She stopped breathing and was 'coded'. Had I not been in the room with her, this would have gone unnoticed and she would have died. Once she was 'intubated', she was transferred to ICU. The only thing positive I can say about the Nursing Staff on this unit is they have one, fine nurse named Brandon. He kept us informed. 5 times in one shift. as to her condition - even escorted us to her bedside to see her.

Once the next shift came on. nothing. No communication. not even an introduction by the Nurse who assumed my Mother's care. I am perplexed, too, about the 6PM-8PM "No Visitors" Rule. The RN I questioned about this became very stand-offish. I can only assume, these hours are the times for the Nurses to sit around behind the desk and gossip or talk about their personal lives. Hopefully, I am mistaken. Can't wait till the survey comes in the mail asking about the care received at St. Mary's. I hope the person I mail it back to has a couple of hours to read it!

Fantastic care, GREAT doctors, even the food was excellent (hospital food usually isn't). Can't recommend St. Mary's enough! Those who post negative issues don't understand healthcare and one bad experience, because of one staff member, doesn't make a negative experience, it just makes a mad patient.

Skilled Nursing Unit is awesome but it did not make up for the hospitals complete lack of communication. Social worker was rude and lacking compassion. Nutrition and diet fed to patients is poor, lots of processed foods, high sugar and greasy fried items. Hospital has the potential to worsen patients condition instead of resolve issues.

The radiologist told me I had pneumonia. I said my appendix had ruptured. Turns out, I was right. It is sad when the patient knows more than the doctor.
