My girlfriend got very sick from a local Mexican place. Threw up for 3 days straight. My mother brought her to Thomas while I was working. Worst possible experience. And its still happening. They tried to discharge her while she was throwing up. Then when we refused the discharge and demanded forceful discharge papers a doctor miraculously showed his face. The nurse never told him Dorothy was still sick. As of me typing this we are currently waiting for a endoscopy that was postponed three days back to back. It has now been an entire week of throwing up for her in this Hell hole. This entire time nursing for the most part has been slow and the excuses are aplenty. They literally have never answered a single question we have asked. Its always: "We will let you know when we know". Bottom line: This place is horrible. I understand my situation is bad. But even a person that isnt bias and has half a brain would agree that my girlfriend isnt being given proper medical care. Do yourself and/or your loved one a favor . . . Never come to Thomas Memorial Hospital.

The OB nurses that take care post moms are the reason bed pans were thrown into the hallways back in the old days. Ive had all 3 of my babies there over a period of 10 years. Every time it got worse. This was by far the worst stay ever. I literally waited 45 minutes for medicine after it was time to take it. GGRR!!!! Apparently they dont know how bad a csection hurts! Im glad Im not having any more children because this visit would deter me from going back. The ob nurses are very rude. They hate to be bothered. Even though they werent busy and only had 3 to 4 patients each. They are all very young. So the turn over rate is high, obviously. My room wasnt cleaned properly. There was blood on the hand rail... not sure if it was mine or someone elses. They wouldnt keep baby on the second night... I had a csection and would have appreciated the rest and time to heal. The best part was the hospital food, no joke. Glad to be home. Cant wait to see the itemized statement they bill my insurance.

In our family we know this hospital as "where they send you to die". Have had 3 family members die here, and know of others that were severely injured due to maltreatment or otherwise misdiagnosed. The ER staff loudly joke and gossip about patients at the nurses station, within earshot of others, pretty sure HIPAA violations are covered the first month of nursing school, so these nurses either didnt pay attention, or just dont care. The docs arent much better. Youd think they were gods the way their arrogance and egos are on display, unfortunately they are only human, & poor examples of that as well. Id seriously go get a 2nd opinion if they told me the sky was blue, I have that little faith in ANYTHING they tell me. Ive known so many people theyve injured or killed, they should be charged with murder.

One star is even a stretch. The ER at Thomas hospital has easily been the worst experience Ive ever had. I was expecting a wait, its the ER. But once we finally got back to be seen, no one told us anything, they just stuck us in a dirty room with blood all over the floor and a dirty IV next to the trash can. The board on the wall notifiying us who would be taking care of us today hadnt been updated in over a week. After sitting in a dirty room with no information what so ever, what I can only assume was the dr. Showed and proceeded to rip off the bandage on my husbands bleeding thumb then say something about soaking it and he can go home, then left for another 45 mins. I can say for sure, that I wouldnt go there ever again even if it was the last choice on earth.

One of the worse ER I have ever been. I was in the ER for 6 1/2 hrs waiting to get some help for my injury. No one seems to care at all in that ER. The nurses where dancing around and asking each other if they wanted pizza!? I thought to myself well please eat your pizza and ignore me while im in pain and need help. I was sick of sitting in pain for that long, that I walked out and waited for a few hours for an urgent care to open. I mean I was in pain for 6 1/2 hrs at the HOSPITAL with no help at all. Thank you Thomas Memorial for one of the worst and painful nights I have ever had in my life. I think if i was on my death bed I would be dead by the time a doctor actually got to me. Just saying ....

The Pros: Great nursing staff. Private rooms with space and places for family/caregivers to rest. Good hospitalist presence. Great surgeons (gall bladder surgery was probably as painless as it possibly could have been) and surgical staff. ER medical staff--especially docs--listen. The Cons: ER wait time ranges from 1-4 hours depending on symptoms. Admissions and Release processing is very slow. Cafeteria hours--closes at 5pm. This is the hospital I choose to go to over the CAMC network because its closer to my home, but also because I really like the staff. Ive never had a bad experience with the people, only the wait times.

The nursing staff on the floor where my stepdad has been for a week is horrible. They havent changed his sheets or bathed him in 5 days. We have no answers to any questions and no definitive diagnosis after 10 days. This has been and continues to be the WORST experience in a hospital anyone in our family has ever had. We will never come back. And if it wasnt for my stepdad not wanting to start from scratch with tests, we would have transferred him a long time ago. Nobody is on the same page and nobody cares. Shame on you Thomas Memorial. You used to be a good hospital. Not anymore.

This place is awful. Been sitting here for 5 hours still no Dr. My mom is rolling in pain with a puke bag on her chest. We havent seen a nurse or Dr in the room. I walked out to the nurses desk and there all there talking to one another people laying on beds in the hall. So I ask when will they come to my mom and this snotty Dr says she has 2 people ahead of her then I will be there so so far 5 hrs of wait. I will never be back at this place. Everyone bad mouths teays valley but it is awesome compared to this place.

In ER 6 hours or more. This is a poor excuse for healthcare. I prefer CAMC but was told to bring my mom here. The staff is unprofessional. Waited until the waiting room was full to start triaging patients. Bathroom is nasty. Blood in seats. Someone urinated self and in seat. I told them this and no one come to clean it. Nurses are to be caring and compassionate. Today I have experienced nurses that are either in of career change or another class nursing.

Worst care ever! They dont check in on patients very often or answer the call light in a timely manner. My dad was in there a week..no one brought him anything to clean up with! Unacceptable! No one knows what the other is doing or whats going on. 1 week later all kinds of test and no answers and no one knows anything! They didnt even focus on the reason he was there...just ran test on things that had nothing to do with his issues!
