Came for blood work and an X-ray. They did X-ray and told me to wait in waiting room Well I was waiting with one other person then all these all people came in. They kept taking everyone but me!!!!! I went to registration and they said they would put me on the list! At that point they should have called the lab and told them to take me next since I had been waiting so long but no that would make too much sense. I had to wait for three more people!! Ridiculous!!! I had to wait an hour when to begin with I was second in line!! Does anyone know what they are doing at Licking Memorial?? No not all!!! Go to Columbus where they had competent people working!! I came early so I could get out of there fast an hour and a half latter I am still here!!!!!
Very slow smh it’s a shame most people like me have a kid and keep you in there til almost morning honestly!!!! I hate this hospital wish they could just build a new one and have new staffing who go in order no matter how bad the pain is. It shouldn’t take almost 9 hours to get out the hospital. I remember I seized up in the lobby and they just left me there unresponsive and never took it seriously I have 4 kinds of seizures and they took me as a joke. Wonder if my son went into a sickle cell attack if they would leave him hanging and not take it seriously it’s a sad world honestly the whole reason I make my trips to Columbus hospitals they do WAY better than here.
I was there with my daughter & her partner as she delivered their first baby 😍 They had to induce her a couple weeks early as she was high risk & she was there for several days before she gave birth.
The nurses were great (as most are 😉) all very friendly and accommodating! Her doctor was great & seemed to know exactly what needed to be done to move her delivery along. The next day they got treated to a fabulous steak & lobster dinner before she was released with her precious, bundle of joy, my grandson 💖
We’ve been sitting in the waiting room since 1pm and it’s now going on 6 pm. High fever and bleeding bowel is the condition we sought medical help for. I know everywhere is short staffed however the lobby check in personnel could at least have a pleasant attitude. Nothing but a grouchy disposition when asking questions. We’re just as exhausted sitting in a chair all day typing on our phones, as they are from sitting in a chair all day typing on a computer. Yet people that just come in the door get help within the hour while we have sit for 5 hours now waiting for help. Very badly managed!!
Had a lab drawn at this hospital.
82 days from date of service I set up a payment plan with the hospital.
Paid every payment to the hospital.
They had turned it over to collections had at 54 days old. I was still trying to get my insurance company to help.
. (Billing had specifically told me I had 90 days to set up a payment plan. ) I made every payment to the hospital. They were forwarding my payments to a collection agency.
Didn’t find this out until I asked for a statement showing I had paid in full.
Very disappointed in the dishonestly
of the billing department.
Nurse Shauna and Doctor Bromley took excellent care of me when I went to the ER. Doctor Bromley even came back to see me just because I had a question, after he had already seen me and given me the green light to go home. Shauna was emotionally supportive like she was a part of my family. These people deserve more credit than they get. They don’t do what they do for the credit, they do it because they are good people. Thank you Doctor Bromley and Nurse Shauna for not only taking care of me but for giving me the tools to continue in everyday life. ❤️
Absolutely the worst hospital experience of my life! I'll just be driving to children's in Columbus any time my child needs emergency attention. I could have driven there and be seen and back home in the amount of time it took them to get us back to a bed.
This is a glorified urgent care, if you want to call it even that. Do yourself a huge favor and save some money in terms of a hospital bill and a private ambulance bill: If you are able to go to one of the many Columbus hospitals. That is VERY likely where you will ultimately end up. This hospital can not seem to handle most anything and if another hospital did something, you will get shipped out because they do not want to deal with it. What a joke!
I went in Monday morning to have my son. The doctors an nurses on maturity ward were amazing. They went above and beyond their job, my C-section went great, my stay was great.They answered all questions, helped me through my pain an was great to my over excited family and friends. Even the food was great, from start to till I left. I never felt unwanted or rushed out of there. Such a great experience where the nurses, doctors, anesthesiologist that guy was amazing. He talked me through the whole thing, made sure I felt no pain, an made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire C-section. I didn't feel like another patient but felt like they cared. They deserve more than 5 stars, thank you for a great time an experience with my little boy being born.
My uncle went there by squad were in room he says he has pain but they dont give pain meds we sat there for hours finally doc says they wanna keep him over night for observation and from wat ive heard about the place i said we can take him to mt caremal east and doctor got upset and when my uncle signed out at his own risk they gave him a wheel chair and said u can roll him out how rude dont ever go there u might not make it out alive they dont even deserve a half of a star
I am 16. I was originally there because my dad didn't know what was wrong with me. I was mentally messed up and not in the right mindset. Later in the hospital they told me to pee in a cup. I couldn't. Said they'd catheterize me if i could't. Didn't know what that meant. You can already guess what happened next. Never felt more pain in my life in the hell that is Licking Memorial Hospital. I was completely conscious. Most humiliating and painful thing to ever happen in my life.
On a serious note. This hospital is understaffed with unedecated workers. Who clearly don't have a passion for the medical field. The aptitude test should have told a few of the members of there staff, that fast food was a better option for them.
I went there after pain in my left lung and they had to syringe fluid. They wanted to admit me. A new doctor came on call and he said I was above their hospital know how and he didn't want me on his time. I was then transferred to riverside, which by the way is a wonderful hospital. Needless to say they gave me as they mentioned was the oldest bed in the place which the mattress was gone. Was completely rude. Tore up all my veins from my arms down to my fingers. Riverside got my vein on first try and was mortified when the saw what they did to me. They only good thing there was the food for a hospital. I should be thankful they made me leave. I was admitted in riverside for over a week with lung issues. What's worse they are denying my insurance claim stating there was no reason for me to have come in the hospital even they they sent me out in a squad. Still fighting this one.
THIS IS NOT A HOSPITAL I CALL IT LICKING COUNTY COMMUNITY CARE. Urgent care would be better
Pathetic excuse of a hospital. I needed x-rays of my chest and I was told insurance would take care of the costs. Sure enough I get a $500 bill a week later. Another time I woke up in the middle of the night from throbbing chest pains. I drove to the ER but the lady at the desk was completely useless in getting me help. I would not go here if my life depended on it. This is the worst of incompetency. If you need real medical attention GO TO COLUMBUS
Licking Memorial Hospital/ Tri County Radiology made a HUGE error in the Diagnosis/ Treatment of my mothers scan, Although LMH has admitted to some fault( recorded conversation x2) Tri-county has refused to address the issue, And both companies have both made it clear, You want answers, Sue us!!! Just flat out not good business and definetly not good patient care. Please if you have had recent scans have them reviewed again..
Outpatient Oncology is just wonderful, very caring. My boyfriend considers it "The Best" at Licking Memorial in the state of Ohio.
This hospital doesn't even deserve the 2.1 star rating it has! Absolutely terrible, don't waste your time and go to Columbus or Zanesville. You'll get treated better and quicker than licking memorial.
Was in ER for more than 7 hours. The screen when you walk in the door said 1 hour 30 minute wait, we waited 3 hours until we got a "room". The Dr. and nurse were extremely nice, however, we were in a room by the nurses station. Listening to nurses talk about how excited they are about the salad bar being open all night as I'm waiting over an hour to get an IV removed is ridiculous. If you are that busy I would say you don't have 10 minutes to discuss what's on the new salad bar.
The wait time was really outrageous. I waited until 945pm to get seen when I showed up at 7am, waited until 1AM to get results. My first impression of the staff I would say they are helpful, lag behind a lot though. If the waiting times weren't so long and they had a spot for the ones that come in before everyone else they should be the ones to address the most urgent situations first, most people just go in to get pain medication and leave because so many druggies in the area, definitely keep a better track on them. The doctor didn't even come in to talk to me and that was so unprofessional.
