OK I know that a hospital is a busy place and that most are understaffed but there has to be a certain amount of care given or what good is a hospital? This is not about me or any family member of mine. Saturday the wife and myself went up to the Lock Haven Hospital for lab work the woman at the window informed us that we had to check in with the emergency room before she could do any so away we went, after we arrived I noticed several people already there waiting and thought that the ER was very busy until I spoke to a couple of them and found out that they were just waiting to be checked in still and a couple of them had been there for an hour or more, OK this I can still understand some times it can be difficult to get the right info out of people and this makes it take longer. However shortly after we sat down a woman was called into the registration office and her mother was with her but only made it half way and stood on her walker swaying back and forth even with the nurses walking in and out no one made a move to help the woman until I stood up walked to the other side of the room where a wheelchair was sitting brought it over and helped here into it. I mean come on we were standing on a concrete floor if that woman would have fallen then what I know that we were in an ER but still no reason to allow someone to get hurt. I know that it is just my opinion but something has to be done differently and people have to come first especially in a hospital that is supposed to take care of them!!!!

Ive family and myself have used this hospital 3 times. Every visit was very ... uncomfortable to say the least. The first time I went was to visit my father who was admitted for a heart attack. I went in about lunch time, they didnt bring him something to eat until around 2pm. He was hungry. When they finally brought him ( a diabetic) food, it was a diabetic meal loaded with all the things a diabetic shouldnt eat (bread, sugar etc). The second time was when i gave birth to my daughter. I was choking on reflux while having contractions. When my husband told the nurse they never brought anything to relieve the rising of stomach acid. Along with that, they put me on a non birthing bed and forced me to switch, not the 12 hours prior while having mild contractions, but in the midst of my childs head coming out of my body. My iv came out 6 times during the birth and i was tangled in cords. The nurses felt the need to comment on my tattoos and appearance which blew my mind. The last visit, i was admitted to the er for jaw pain and put in one of the bays. I had a heart monitor etc put on my finger (or whatever its for)... after about 15 minutes of sitting there, I look down and notice BLOOD on the finger clip (pictures). I told the nurse and she "wheres blood?"... i said "right on there"... to which she nonchalantly replied "oh yeah there is". Like someone elses blood on medical equipment is no biggie. This hospital needs to be shut down.

This is my second round using Lock Haven Hospital for my maternity needs, and I have really enjoyed it. My first two children were born at a hospital in Salt Lake City, and whereas I loved my doctor there, the hospital overall was very technologically advanced but very people-warmth poor, if you know what I mean. Here at Lock Haven Hospital its just the opposite. They have exactly the technology they need, but they match it with warmth, friendliness, and understanding from everyone. I take my cute kids with me to all my appointments and theyre treated like celebrities even by attendants just passing us in the halls. When THEY had to get bloodwork done the people were really nice about it and gave them all teddy bears. They even gave a teddy bear to the kid who didnt get anything done! My OBGYN seems really knowledgeable in her field and Ive loved working with her, and the nurses always have been willing to listen to any unorthodox requests, which has been a huge blessing during labor & delivery. Overall, though I could nitpick tiny things, I have been really happy about my care.

My 14 year old daughter arrived at the ER with very clear concussion symptoms, sensitivity to light and loud noises, sleepy and poor balance. She also had a swollen nose after a blow to the face during sports. The ER team gave her an X-ray to check if she had a broken nose, but NEVER followed up with the concussion symptoms. She left with a diagnosis of "contusion to the pectoral region" Um she never had anything wrong with her chest, she had a concussion! NO CT scan, no concussion protocol....what the heck kind of emergency room is this!!! We visited our family Dr. the next day and he clearly said she had a serious concussion and needed to miss school for a few days to rest her brain. If we followed the hospital diagnosis she would have been back playing soccer the next day with her "contusion!" Come on Lock Haven you must do better than this!

This hospital is very unprofessional. I took my girlfriend in for kidney pains because she has a history of kidney stones and is unable to pass them on her own and she couldnt sleep due to the pain. We had another hospital a few months before that told us she had them but were too small to cause any issue at the moment. Lock haven hospital did "tests" on her and told her she didnt have any kidney stones and then said they would proscribed her with a medication to help with the pain. When we went to get her prescription it was an antibiotic for a UTI. And when the pharmacy called the hospital the doctor told them that he had no idea why we would think that he would give her pain medication. This hospital is one of the worst we have been to. DONT GO THERE. THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

PLEASE READ THIS We trusted the Lock Haven ER in the early hours of the morning, as our infant and toddler had dangerous, quickly progressive symptoms. Our infant was man-handled, our toddler was disreguarded and sent home in four hours with a 104.5 and bronchial cough. Took our children to our pediatrician shortly after being dismissed and BOTH our children have a VERY DANGEROUS case of PNEUMONIA. We are educated, friendly people with young children. If you have any common sense you will NEVER use this hospital! What kind of nurse puts her bloody post-IV gloves on top of a container of baby food???? Disgusting! Unsanitary! Unprofessional hospital!

Had a really bad toothache. Went into the e.r to get something to hold me off till the dentist opened. They gave me a prescription for pain meds. Thats it. They charged me $300 dollars. What a rip off. The wait time is insane also. Dont 60% chance youll be waiting an hour or much longer. On top of that. When I had a broken arm they wrapped my arm up really tight, sent me home with no medication and said theyd have to do surgery the next day. Need less to say, I sat at home in excruciating pain for 16 hours! Do yourself a favor and drive up the road to jersey shore if need be.
