Where to begin! Lets start with the first incident and work our way up... My daughters birth was not a happy experience like it should have been. When my daughter was born, the doctor was supposed to be off at 7:00am but my daughter didnt come until 7:04am, so she rushed so she could go home and shortly after we discovered that she never got all of the placenta out of me and I had a nasty infection in my uterus and had to be re-admitted to the hospital shortly after being sent home with my newborn. Also, when I was in labor and received the epidural the nurse never looked over my chart to see that I have scoliosis, she hit a nerve or something and it caused me to lose all motor control in my left leg for 2-3 hours. I was unable to lift my leg up, let alone hold it still in the stirrup, my mother had to actually hold my leg up for me (bless her) now I suffer from nerve pain in my hips because of the incident. Next, my grandmother got admitted to the ER because she was really sick, well they put her in a room and basically forgot about her. She was hardly ever checked on, and they wouldnt listen when we told the nurses that it was too cold in the room for her, well she got pnuemonia from the hospital (they even admitted it to us to "ease" our pain) and died 2 days later. She would have been fine, and would have been able to see her great-granddaughter grow up if it wasnt for them. I suffer from IBS and some other more personal stomach problems, I was scared and did not know what was going on with me so I went to the ER numerous times due to the pain I had. They just gave me this GI cocktail and sent me on my way, they never looked into the problem. I had to go to Atlantic General to finally get diagnosed with my problems and to get them taken care of. The wait time at this hospital is ridiculous. Just today I went in for a head injury, I suffered from light sensitivity, dizziness, I was slurring my words, was unable to speak my thoughts properly and my entire body was just weak... It took TWO HOURS to be taken back to a room, then another hour just to be seen by the doctor. They sent me for a catscan and some labwork. They claim everything came back completely fine, just like they did with my stomach problems, they always said everything was fine, then I was basically forgotten in my room. I got dressed and demanded to be discharged. Also today there was a nurse texting and "driving" a wheel chair, and she ran this older gentleman right into a wall! His wife tore that nurse a new one..... This hospital is pathetic, the wait times are ridiculous, the doctors and nurses are rude and dont look into your problems 100%, they just guess the first thing they think of and send you on your way. Dont get me wrong, you do occasionally get the good nurse who is polite and cares but with all the bad treatment I have received from here I will never be going back to PRMC again, I would honestly rather drive 50 minutes to Atlantic General because they are a great hospital.

If you have an appointment here, be sure to arrive TWO hours early so that you can aimlessly drive around the hospitals campus, vainly looking for a parking spot. If you have handicapped tags, you MIGHT find one in about an hour, but for regular tags, they offer MAYBE six parking spots. Gee, thanks. Ive had appointments here, drove around for an hour looking for a spot to open up, only to drive home and call them to reschedule the appointment. Also, as with all Eastern Shore medical "professionals", the doctors and nurses here will ignore anything you have to say and immediately diagnose you based on their own whim, instead of anything the patient has to add, god forbid. Yeah, if you can get to a hospital on the other side of the bay, youre hugely better off. My mom went in, complaining of abdomen pains and other symptoms and the "doctors" here just "slapped a band-aid" on her symptoms a number of times only to have my mom go across the bay, go to a real doctor, and discover she had pancreatic cancer. Again, only diagnosed by an ACTUAL medical professional in Baltimore as opposed to these frauds and failures that were forced to take a job at this crummy hospital because they arent qualified to go anywhere else. Good luck to you.

Went to the ER today because my throat is extremely swollen and its hard to breathe/swallow. Ive been having severe headaches as well. I was seen by a nurse that looked at me as if I was stupid, she simply felt the swelling on my neck and said "probably strep throat" then left the room. She ran no Rapid Strep Test and took no swabs. I had asked for a cup of water and they refused to give me one so I had to go to the sink and drink with my hands. When I received the discharge papers, none of my symptoms matched with the ones Ive been having. I have not been coughing, sneezing, or running any fever. All of my symptoms were listed in the "Seek Immediate Medical Care" section. I was prescribed to take 1,500 mg of Amoxicillin for the next 10 days. I am severely irate that they did not take more care for me, seeing how I was a patient seeking medical care. I now have to go to Your Docs In, to get a better and more thorough diagnoses. Thanks a lot PRMC, way to take care of your patients.

If I could give negative stars I would. Was seen here while vacationing. I went into heart block, passed out and my pacemaker was malfunctioning. When I passed out I dislocated two fingers and my shoulder. After being in an ER Room for over an hour and a half I still hadnt seen a doctor. With my heart condition I can take a turn for the worse real quick. I ended up going to a different ER. I was seen by a doctor within minutes. Shoulder was still dislocated and pacemaker was in fact malfunctioning. My blood pressure had started to drop. When the ER doctor found out I had already been to Peninsula Regional but hadnt seen a physician in over 90 minutes he was very angry. Be careful going to Peninsula regional. They may make things worse instead of better.

Am a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for high grade prostate cancer. I cant say enough about the outstanding care I am getting from PRMCs Oncology Department. Oncologists, Drs Zorsky and Shaumbert, are obviously very knowledgable and are on top of latest research and and technology relating to their areas of specialty. The entire oncology staff, including nurses and administrative support personnel, are all very efficient and promptly responsive to the needs of their patients. They are exceptionally attentive and demonstrate a level of kindness and caring far beyond what I have experienced at any other medical institution. A truly outstanding hospital!!
