DO NOT go to this hospital unless it is an emergency and you have no other choice. I do not live in this area but my parents do and I have taken good healthcare for granted this is the worse hospital I have ever been to in my entire life. Its sad to see they give their community such poor care and I suspect they can not attract or keep the best medical professionals. My father went into ER they misdiagnosed him took no standard test for a person complaining of his pain were done. He later went back and had to have emergency surgery which resulted in them injuring him further and resulted in him going to ICU. The previous reviews of the staff are true and to add some of the nurses are so arrogant and feel they run the hospital. But there are exceptions some of nurses are Very nice and to those I say Thank You. Im writing this not to speak to the friendliness of the environment but the quality of healthcare. And by far not speaking about ever individual Doctor in the hospital this review is only for those individuals that treated my father. This hospital should be closed or under review for negligence. In 2017 in the USA even small towns human beings should not be subjected to poor health care! My advice if you or your loved one is in the hospital DEMAND to be transferred when you see the situation deteriorating or getting worse than what you went in for make them acknowledge their lack of experience ask for a patient representative and DEMAND better healthcare. God bless those still there.

I visited the emergency room after midnight which was early Saturday morning. I had been sitting there for over 2hrs. I watched several people be taken in the back while I sat there in pain. I asked the front desk that checks people in why are others being taken in the back before me. Her response was because we dont have any beds. So I sat and waited but then another couple walks in and they are taken in the back. So Im saying to myself no this isnt right. So again I go to the desk and ask again. She gets the er nurse and she says people are going before you because their needs are life threatening. Well wouldnt they arrive in an ambulance?? Hmmm. So now as I sit Im thinking now theyre being smart. So because the lady didnt know how to be a help she calls the security guy. He comes out saying you can leave. Im like dude really, your on their side. Hahaha.... Sorry not sorry. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Clearly my pain wasnt enough. So the er nurse comes to get me and says thank you for your patience. I didnt have any at all. Im in pain. So my reply was I have very little patience. She then says if your going to be disrespectful then you can leave. Like who says that to a patient?? Ive never came to the er and met such horrible. The doctor was great!!

My wife went too this hospital for help because she was having server stomach problems.. in which they stuck her 9 times so they could start an iv in which they did not start one.. the doctor flung my wifes head around and pushed on her stomach even though she asked him too stop he was hurting her.. I advised my wife too file a report with advocates in the hospital because she felt she was not only verbally assaulted but she felt physically assaulted.. So instead of letting her file a report with an advocate they send the charge nurse down in which the nurse bluntly called her a liar and called security too have her removed from the property.. all she wanted was some medical attention.. Its disgusting too think these people think they will get away with this behavior when it comes too patients.. needless to say we will be contacting the medical board in Delaware about how this hospital handles their patients and how they refuse medical attention too someone in need.. and how they refuse to let some one make a report on their employees because they want too protect each other even when they are in the wrong...

Ive been going there for several years simply out of convenience. But Ive stopped. I have chronic issues. When you walk into a facility and people roll their eyes and Make comments that you can hear from another room its time to just go . Ill stick to going elsewhere where I dont have to feel guilty about my chronic issues. Bye bye.. and yes i will let others know. Sometimes its worth traveling a distance to get better care and not feel guilty for being sickly and having autoimmune disease . I literally felt horrible as I was sitting and I could hear I dont want to take care of her shes always in here. And employees just sitting around gossiping of other patients. How do you think that makes Someone feel? That could be Someone mother ,father,daughter, it doesnt matter.

The nurses there need to learn to have some semblance of a bedside manner. I took my 2 year old there a few years ago and my 2 year old refused to take the medicine the nurse was trying to give her. Instead of letting me talk my child for a min the nurse poured the medicine down her throat and then held her hand forcibly over her mouth to until she swallowed it. I was in total shock at the time. Now my child is still traumatized over that and is scared to death of drs offices and drs. Horrible people. I cant imagine doing that to a child! Completely unethical and unprofessional.

Very unprofessional. Not impressed with the care of my sister. They should check their attitude at the door. When a patient has complex health issues and its over your head...admit it!...it makes for a better outcome for all involved. Because they couldnt wait to discharge her, they sent her home without a proper diagnosis. She had to be taken to Peninsula General in the evening the same day she was discharged.

Most of the staff thinks the hospital is great, and in all honesty they are not. Theyou are no equipment to handle anything major with patients but still acts like they can. They are broken bones and band aids , and would do a better service to the community if they get the own heads out of their asses and realize they are not worth the money the property is located on.

Id give a zero if that were an option. Emergency room is the worst ever. Very incompetent employees. At least 2 hour wait from the door no matter how many people are in waiting room. Staff likes to good off and chit chat with each other instead of doing what they should be doing. You contact the president of the hospital and get no response. Needs to be shut down.
