Had a baby at this hospital 7 years ago. This year I will be having another and was terrified thinking I may need to go back. Everything was fine right up to the point I came in to deliver. I was sitting on the side of the bed and started feeling like I had to push. The nurse yelled at me and said not yet ! Dont push ! Not ready ! So I closed my legs and tried to hold it, but my daughter was already coming down. She got her shoulder stuck on my hip bone and got stuck , I believe because of this. She broke her clavicle bone to get out and I nearly bleed to death. After they took her away and they had me sitting in my own blood in the dark for hours by myself, where I couldent reach a call light or the light itself.then came time to breast feed and the staff was rude grabbing my breasts without permission and thinking that they knew it all. Lets dump Suger water down your shirt that will help. All that did was make me wet and cold. They continuously grabbed my babys head and was smashing it into my breasts. Now this will be my 5th child Im not new to breast feeding, they treated me badly. When I spoke out they dident like it and i could hear them talking about me saying to chart me as post pardon depression. Nice what a great staff, Im sure thats what every mother wants. I started out smiling and left in tears

I am about to have my 2nd child and the thought of delivering here again terrifies the crap put of me! The attending Dr. dropped my 1st she came less than an inch from her brand new skull slamming into tile flooring! I was being stitch after an episiotomy and after the 1st numbing shot and a stitch I told the woman doing it I could feel it and it hurt terribly. She proceeded TELL ME that it was just the pressure I was feeling... umm no! I was in more pain than pushing out my child! I then had brought with me a birthing plan like suggested.. to please not give my newborn a binki I was going to breastfeed. They let me feed her once she latched great.. they took her for some tests and returned her with a BINKI DIPPED IN SUGAR SYRUP! She wouldnt latch for over 3 hours while I cried and panicked that she would never latch. There is no place for your significant other to sleep/stay if they choose to stay with you. I was also told she was jaundice but to go home and they will call if needed. I got a call the next morning at 7am to bring her in... when we clearly could have just stayed and put her under the lights instead of bring home a child whose eyes were as yellow as a yellow crayon! Not to mention her skin as well!! I am looking to switch OB/GYNs because mine will only deliver at this horrible place!

Worst ER I have ever been to. No ER doctor came to see me. They lost my urine sample and when I asked why I was to give them another sample, the Physicians assistant told me it was because I didnt give enough (I gave them a full sample), but another nurse piped in and stated they needed the sample because they lost the first one I gave them. They refused to run further testing and even stated that was the plan when I first walked in. The nurse didnt know how to take my vitals (and she only visited me once in the nearly 4 hours I was there). The physicians assistant I saw (Mary-Ellen Dalzell) had zero bedside manner and did not take the time to get a full history of my symptoms. She refused further (and reasonable) testing. She talked trash about me to other nurses and then was super condescending to me when I had other questions to ask her. She stated that I did not display enough discomfort for her liking, so she was OK with sending me home in the same amount of pain I was in as when I arrived...and she was ok to do this without a treatment plan. If yoy get seen by Mary-Ellen....just stop right there and leave....you will end up worse off because you just wasted your precious time and you are in the same condition or worse than when you arrived.

A few months ago, I had a quarter inch gash on my thumb. In a panic, I went to the SNHMC Urgent Care Center in South Nashua. After waiting about 20 minutes, they put some glue on the gash, put a bandaid on it and told me I was fine. Several weeks later, I discovered that apparently they are charging over $300 for a bandaid and glue. Several years ago, I had a kidney stone about to pass and I went to their emergency room, before their urgent care centers had opened. A significant amount of water had backed up inside my kidneys and I requested pain medication. About 30 minutes after being admitted, the stone passed and the pain was gone without any medication. I told them this and said I was now fine, but they accused me of being some kind of junkie; that I had come into the hospital to score prescription medication and wanted to leave because they wouldnt give it to me. A test later showed what happened and they apologized a few weeks later, but I wish I had remembered this moment when that gash happened. If you deal with this hospital, just remember my experience. Youre not a patient to them, in their eyes, youre a gullible junkie they can exploit. Theyre just lucky St. Joseph is almost as bad.

Ive been going to Foundation medical for a Few years, but these past few months have really shown me what this group is all about. Ive been having serious symptoms for months, and instead of getting right to the point and having the appropriate testing performed, (that would define what the actual condition is), they insist on putting me through multiple tests that are not necessary and are not covered by my insurance. This is done so that they can make money off of me. Thousands of dollars later and I have no answers - NONE! Lastly, this group does not follow up when referring their patients to other providers. Left in the dark from both the PCP and the specialist that they referred me too. I will say this much- the front desk staff are great, but again, no follow up from nurses or physicians. Disappointed after being a patient with this office for the last few years. One star for routine stuff, physicals colds etc., but, for any major issues- I would NOT recommend this group.

After experiencing a traumatic morning where my sister had blacked out and hit her head for unknown reasons my family and I had to go to this hell of a hospital. The staff at the front desk were incredibly rude, not only to me but to my stepmom by implying that she had less of a right to see her stepdaughter in the emergency room than our biological mother. There were multiple patients in the waiting room who were in deplorable conditions, but were treated as less than human by inconsiderate staff. My sister was left in a neck brace for an hour more than she should have, which means she had to suffer incredible discomfort for that time. The staff at this hospital need to learn a lesson in respect for other people. The only patient I would recommend go to Southern New Hampshire is one that is already dead.
