Got to love a getting a call from the collection agency claiming you had a 18K hospital bill from August of 2015. Trying to tell me the county paid 12k of it and i am responsible for the rest. No Fn way. They did nothing for the tooth infection I had but put me on pain meds. Trying to say a 2 day stay where I only saw and spoke with a doctor once equals 18k? HELL NO! I remember they tried to get me to stay another 4 days. I had to sign myself out against medical advice. all they said they were willing to do was fill me with pain meds. Why would I be willing to stay for non-treatment? They told me, I had to seek out side medical assistance for treatment and removal of the tooth! This hospital is fill with scam artist and unprofessional staff. They dont care for the sick and injured. They only care about money and their bottom line. The people of Lehigh Valley would be lucky if this "hospital" would close permanently due to some unforeseen disaster.

Can YOU say slow. This hospital is ridiculously slow. They have a bunch of stupid rules and they lie lie lie. We waited for a room for hours. I was told i could bring my daughter in..... a few hours into it I was told she couldnt be there and that it was against policy because you had to be 18 and only one visitor is permitted. Like I read their policy when I was having an emergency. I was told we would leave at 1am.... 12 hours later and we are still here. The doctors bad mouth and talk about the patients loudly.... so much for patient confidentiality. No phones, devices or any belongings allowed. No phones during an emergency, that makes 0 sense. Some nurses were great. Othere were cold and bitchy. The night staff was extremely loud while people tried to sleep. St lukes is so much better

4/02 6pm to 4/03 6am...AN AMAZING TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS during a 12 hour shift and non-stop emergencies. MY ER DREAM TEAM OF Triage Nurse Lori, ER Nurse Caitlin, CT Tech Courtney, ER Nurse Gregory, Nurse Jicenda, Nurse Samantha and ER doc, Dr. Weaver. Sharp and still on their toes helping me throughout the long night. Never experienced such professionalism during such a hectic evening. I WISH WE HAD MORE PEOPLE LIKE THEM EVERYWHERE, IN EVERY HOSPITAL ACROSS AMERICA !!! WIZARDS WITH ULTRASOUND IV INSERTION ON A BAD, SCAR RIDDLED ARM, AS MINE, FROM YEARS OF DIALYSIS. Kept focused and resolved many technical issues regarding my IV which was necessary for a few CT scans....then the professionalism continued after that, with the next shift, till I was finally discharged.

I went to the ER because I had a piece of meat stuck in my throat. During the procedure to remove it they had my upper lip pinned against my front teeth with their equipment to the point of almost cutting the inside of my lip, my lip was very swollen when I got home, its been two days now and my lip is still numb. They also stretched my Uvula so much it touches the bottom on my throat giving you the sensation that there is something hanging in your throat and you can’t clear it. I also have a severe sore throat. I had this same procedure done 5 years ago at another hospital and I came home fine. This complaint is more for the people who worked on me (Doctors), the nursing staff was great.

The waiting room was not too crowded and I didnt have to wait long. But I told the nurse that I couldnt feel my left foot and it was numb and they made me walk by myself with no help. They did not give me my call bell and would not give me a blanket even though I was shivering. I had to get up by myself to get an emesis bag and tissues because no one was around. When the doctor finally came in he didnt even ask me questions and just said that it must be muscles and he would give me motrin and send me home. I got angry and they finally agreed to do a catscan. In the long run I was disappointed because I always felt like this was the most reliable place to go for medical care.

The worst hospital I ever had. I was hit by a piece of metal in my eyes. I entered the emergency room and waited for two hours. No one cared. When I asked the nurse (Kristine d daly) if they had a doctor or not, She replied with a terrible face and voice , that I had to sit and wait, really feel unsafe to go back there for any reason , they made me feel people Life is so cheap for them. All that Time made my eyes go worse,after all that , I called my friend to get me to another hospital. He took me to the emergency center on Airport Road and felt the difference there from good treatment and quick service.and they take care of me very well .

I had a good birthing experience at the new mother and baby unit. The only foul was that the lady who was in charge of my birth certificate never processed it. My baby was born in June 28th and if i have not called 2 months later to check on it and why is taking so long it would have never been processed. Now i have to wait another two months to get it which it shouldnt be in the first place. I will recommend that if you deliver there to make sure the birth certificate is taken care of the next day.

This hospital is tops, I have one suggestion, please make a Handi-cap pathway from Emergency to the Main Hospital, their are only steps, I use a electric sckooter to get around, today I had to go down the main road out of emergency to the Hospital for blood work, I had to go all the way around into the parking lot, it was dangerious to be in all that traffic, please dig up some of the ground and make a safe sidewalk passage way, Thank you

When my mother became terminally ill, the folks at Lehigh Valley Hospital.were nothing short of EXTRAORDINARY. There kindness, empathy, and professionalism were second to none. My Mom was on Medicare and I almost expected that she would have ended up in a ward of sorts, however she had a private room that was immaculate and first-class all the way. We were amazed and grateful. Thanks Lehigh Valley Hospital you were the best!!!

If youre in pain do not go to Lehigh Valley Muhlenberg they take forever to treat you and they DO NOT CARE about the patients. The staff stands around chatting and laughing about their personal business and when you ask them for help they act as though youre bothering them. I dont understand why most of these people are in health care because they obviously dont care about their patients theyre very rude.

I spent one week in the hospital with a health crisis which came on without warning and was quite terrifying. The talented physicians, nurses, physical therapists, tech support, just everyone was caring, patient and courteous. (Hello 6th floor!). Even the food was well-prepared, plentiful and nutritious. I cant say enough thank-yous for getting me back on my feet and home within the week.
