I am currently very disappointed with the manager of the maternity section in this hospital. I am pregnant at this moment and I wanted to begin my pregnancy treatment with this hospital so I called to set up an appointment. A woman named Denean answered the phone she was very nice. She asked how long ago did I have a period. I explained to her that I have a irregular period because I just had a baby last year and my period has been irregular since, but I just started feeling the pregnancy symptoms two weeks ago and I bought a pregnancy test this past weekend and it confirmed that I am pregnant. She said ok and talked to her manager... Her manager said that they cannot help me because Im 5 months and I would have to seek treatment from another hospital. I just started feeling my pregnancy symptoms two weeks ago. I know I am not 5 months and it is perfectly normal to have a irregular period. She denied me treatment because I have a irregular menstrual cycle. On top of that I requested for her to call me back and I never received a phone call. She would not even talk to me on the phone. They did not even ask advice from a nurse or doctor it was so unprofessional. I did not appreciate being accused of being 5 months pregnant and not seeking maternity care. That makes no sense. I would like to hear back from someone regarding this manager because I refuse to let this go.

NOTE: My rating and review is based ONLY on my experience undergoing a short procedure at Lankenau Medical Center. Parking is a little awkward and costs money, and registration is a short walk and an elevator ride away. At the time of this review, there is a little bit of construction going on that makes parking and getting into the hospital worse than usual. The registration area (which is also where family members wait) is very comfortable, with televisions, vending machines and restrooms. A board makes it easy for family members to monitor the progress of a patient. During registration and procedure preparation, I was extremely happy with the attentive and helpful staff and nurses. The quality of care, the cleanliness of the hospital and the timeliness in which I was seen were all excellent. Post procedure, I was made to wait rather a long time to see the surgeon before being discharged. During this time, I was not given any information about how long I would have to wait. This may have been an isolated situation, and the patients around me did not have this issue.

I have had spinal injections here and the nurses and doctors are amazing . I travel an hour and 1/2 about to get there to my pain management doctor. Dr. John Park is and his team are awesome. I love when walking around the nurses and doctors all ask "can I help you find where your going or anything" they are so very polite thier. The pharmacy is really amazing and very personable. They would remember me every 2 to 3 months for my visit with my doctor and when I would fill my scrips before the long drive home they were so kind and friendly and tried to get everything done in a timely matter and made waiting very easy which when your in pain and have a long drive back you tend to be stressed but even my father who came with me lived to sit and talk to the staff outside the pharmacy which were people who were to direct you and A police officer. Now everyone has there bad days but most of the time it was a very pleasant experience or I would travel so far to go there.

Went to the ER at this hospital . I was having bad urological problems. I went to this hospital by choice. ( it was an hour from my home) because i thought it was an excellent hospital . I waited in the ER for 5 hours . The ER looked like it was a walk in clinic for people from the neighborhood ( people with their runny nosed kids ETC. After 5 hours wait i saw a doctor for 5 minuits. he didnt even do a urological check or an ultrasound. did not even try to stop my bleeding. i tried to go see a urologist the next day but ended up in another hospital where i was admitted. i ended up having to have surgery etc. I feel i got no care at all at Lankenau. . their emergency room needs to get its act together. the hospital always had a great reputation but whichever company is running their emergancy room needs to be replaced.

I went to Lankenau ER at midnight back on March 24 complaining of pain and pressure in the center of my back, I have had cardiac issues in the past. They triage me right away but after they took my blood and did a EKG I laid in the same ER bed for 14 hours. I did not physically talk to a doctor until 4 1/2 hours into my stay. at 2 pm on the 25th they finally took me for a cardiac cauterization and they found that one of my arterys was 98 % blocked. I rate the heart center a 10 but the ER I rate a zero. I work at another local hospital in the area, when a patient presents themselves in our ER they are brought back immediately and are seen by a doctor in less than 15 minutes. This is the way it should be done.

Gotta love being treated like crap by intern nurses on graveyard shift. Had the flu badly. Had a hard time breathing. Came in and got nebulizer treatment. As soon as it was done they are trying to discharge me and I am so dizzy and my hands are tingling so hard from the nebulizer. I cant even keep up straight with out looking like im drunk. I ask am I okay? After explaining my symptoms. They brush me off and tell me I can leave. I get 10 feet away and fall. No one helps just ignored. Like wow on to the next piece of money right? Glad my insurance company dishes out tons of money for this kind of treatment. Patch me up and drop me. What a crappy place.

I had sustained a large gash on my index finger and needed a quick stitch. My personal care physician was booked for the day but I was quickly referred to this place. All the reviews on Yelp and Google were glowing so I decided to commit. Phenomenal experience at GG Urgent Care. Not only is the space roomy, modern and clean but the staff is incredibly friendly and personal. I was in-&-out within 30 minutes with a bill that would have easily been 10-15x more at the ER. I had no idea getting stitched up would be so enjoyable. Definitely coming back next time I hurt myself (soon, Im sure).

Horrible maternity ward. Resident tried to send me home telling me I was not in labor (4th baby). Ended up staying to deliver in the next 9 hours. The nurse and/or doctor did not respond properly when my daughters heart rate dropped. I was delivered by a resident. She nor the doctor realized my daughter was purple and tried to hand her to me when the nurse took her away to give her oxygen. She almost died and spent 2 weeks in the NICU. This was my second delivery at Lankenau. I have good insurance and expected a higher level of care. BEWARE unless you like being treated like cattle.
