I had to go to the Emergency Room today at McLeod Seacoast Hospital in Little River. Waiting time was 3 minutes to be admitted to a cubicle, and the required surgical procedure was completed in around an hour. Everyone concentrated on my needs, minimizing paperwork and providing a totally supportive environment. Pain went from a blacking-out 10 to a background hum of 1 in minutes. I am Australian. I have lived in Europe and Asia and now a 10 year US resident. I have needed to use Emergency Medical facilities too often! I have not received, nor could I imagine a better quality of care anywhere in the world. Totally recommended, because all of the 10 people that we saw in the process, (Admin, Nursing, Intern, Doctor, CMAs etc.. were dedicated professionals that were fun and approachable. The team was a well oiled machine that knew exactly when to kick into high gear and when to relax and relate. Congratulations McLeod Seacoast ER - you scored my highest rating. Surgery follow up: next day. Had to wait almost a minute; procedure was as explained. My doctor is also the medical director but still took time out from his rounds to dress my wound and make sure I was comfortable with the care plan. Total time on the premises: 12 minutes. I am rarely driven to review anything, but when there is so much pressure on the medical profession, its time to give good press to the right people. McLeod Seacoast ER, Little River. Thenks to Dr. Timothy Carr

In Truth

If you are considering a move to SC and are in need of medical, I strongly suggest reconsideration. This hospital is staffed with incompetence from check-in to the physicians. In order to obtain treatment, patients are forced to sign authorization releasing their medical records to law enforcement and any and all physicians associated with this hospital, directly or indirectly related to the patients care. SC has their own set of HIPAA laws that they make up as they go along and vary from doctors offices to hospitals. Emergencies are not tended to by order of urgency, it is first come, first serve and most often mandate payment prior to the procedure or visit even taking place. Lastly, Carmen, in anesthesiology is lacking in empathy and professionalism. Immediately prior to my surgery, Carmen was arguing with another staff member in my presence. Once wheeled into the OR, Carmen threw the mask at me and with aggravation, said, "GO TO SLEEP!" twice, as the first time the mask hit me in the face and bounced off. Unfathomably unprofessional and unethical.

After multiple ER visits every year, 6+ a year, it is nice to leave an ER feeling like a person and not just a patient, or patients wife in my case. We drive the extra 20 minutes to go to Mcleod little river OVER surrounding ERs that just tried to treat my wounded veteran as a drug addict and refused him good care. We feel like MCleod Little River staff is professional and quick with their help. Each time weve had to go we havent had any wait time, mainly its middle of the night when we arrive, but we feel validated and sure that the staff did what they could to help without thought. They did all they could within legal limitations they have to abide by due to my husbands treatments with his primary doctors.

I did get back pretty quick but I was taken to a dirty room so they made me switch. I was then taken to another dirty room so I sat in the chair. There was trash on the floor and the sheet was dirty. When I pointed out that the room was dirty she just said oh and picked up the trash on the floor. They never bothered to change anything so they went to every curtain looking for me because they had no idea what room I was in. I came in for pain in my ear and a burning swollen throat. Which she was rather short with me and said I dont understand why ur here because u have allergies?! Ummm no. She did no tests on me which strep has been going around at both my jobs. Complete incompetence here!

I am actually Tom Perrones daughter. He was taken to Seacoast after a stroke. The people we dealt with in the 6 days he was there, were some of the nicest, most professional I have ever had dealings with; on all three shifts. It was our pleasure to have them take care of Dad. Being retired military, I have been to hospitals all over the US & abroad. Never have we had a place where everyone from the Dr. to the staff that came in and cleaned his room each day, were the sweetest, most congenial group we have ever had the pleasure of being taken care of by. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts, The Perrone children, Teri, Tammy, Trish, Tracey & Tommy, and Mom!

I have been living in N Myrtle Beach for 2 1/2 years. I had to go to the emergency room once. I received excellent care, the doctors and nurses were very kind, pleasant and knew what they were doing. I did not have a long wait and was taken very quickly. I have gotten mammograms there twice and I have to say as uncomfortable as they are, the technician was as gentle as possible and very nice. The hospital is clean and pleasant. They answer your questions and if they dont know the answer they will connect you with someone that does. I would take this hospital way over Grand Strand Medical, I have used both and prefer McLeod.

I found the ED nursing staff to be rude and dismissive.I required a CT scan that was ordered by the MD on duty...he spent less than 3 minutes with me before ordering the CT.He then came to discuss the results with me and he was wrong!I explained to him that what he was telling me couldnt be correct and guess what...it wasnt! He left to look at the scan again and came back to me...never apologized or said he was mistaken...just acted in the manner he had acted all along...arrogant!I was on vacation so was not familiar with the area but would tell anyone to choose another emergency dept if at all possible!!!

The facility itself is very nice. However, the service is something to be desired. My family has used this place on two separate occasions and both times it was a huge disappointment. I know that in a lot of hospitals there are staffing issues, but not the case here. We are never going back…I can guarantee that the nurses at this hospital would never treat their own family the same way they I witnessed them treat those patients. It’s really a shame, because the nurses are responsible for the bad service.

Thr medical care difference from NC to SC is huge. I have been in SC (Horry county) almost 4 years, worst medical care imaginable. Drs not reading blood test results, labs low and no mention of it. I recommend you always request copies of your blood work. They are keeping us sick as repeat customers. Dr in the ER said my labs looked good and turns out my Potassium, Calcium, White Blood Cells were all low and Inflammation high and no one cares. Get your medical care somewhere else not in HORRY COUNTY SC.

The staff is very kind and always treats their patients with excellent care in mind. You cant find one doctor, nurse, or even custodian who isnt happy to see you. It makes for such a wonderful experience in a place you often dont hope to be. They also have smiling valet parking attendants there to greet you at the front door. They are so nice and they wouldnt accept any gratuity. McLeod has went out of their way to make sure our experience is completely hassle free. I love it! 5 Stars!
