I love Sentara Leigh. Nearly every doctor and nurse I've encountered here have been extremely caring and helpful. For those that are admitted, the rooms are large and very nice. The hospital seems to be very clean, as well. My only complaint was with one particular doctor about three years ago. I went in for incredible back and leg pain. She didn't do any x-rays or CT Scans or anything. She blamed it on my being overweight (I'm 5'10 and 250. Yes I'm a bit overweight but not to the degree she was making it seem). She sent me on my way. About two years later, after the pain continued to get worse, I ended up at Norfolk General where I was diagnosed with several bulging disks and spinal stenosis. Had she done her job and properly examined me, I might've been able to have my problems addressed sooner. Thankfully, I've not encountered her since then and every other doctor there has been amazing.

I was seen in the ER and the nurses were awesome. Especially Ms. Nanette she was so busy running around and taking care for as many patients as she could but still carried a great attitude and made me smile.

They simply didn't care when I went in with an anxiety attack. The triage nurse was nice and promised they would have me checked out, but then they sat me in a hallway and had me wait for several hours and pretended I wasn't there most of the time. The rest of the time all I got was that patented health care professional I'm-better-than-you attitude from the most condescending, robotic sort of man. They had said they were going to give me medication but eventually told me they didn't have it so they were going to send me away. Without any treatment. This experience actually made my anxiety worse so I went to the DePaul Medical Center ER where I was treated for an anxiety attack. I really fear for people who go here with more serious ailments if they are not capable of treating severe anxiety, so if you can please go somewhere else.

I came in there because my arm was in really bad pain. It was traveling through out my whole arm shoulder and half of my hand. There is a bump that grew on my arm a few months ago and it wasn't bothering till now, the pain is comming from the bump and all he did was look at the bump pressed on it (when he was twisting my arm and pressing on the bump there was a sharp pain shoothing down my arm and to my hand) and told my that the bump is not whats causing the pain. I have to tell him that it is coming from the bump and he just Wrapped my arm up gave me papers and nerve medicine because he said that i have a pinched nerve in my neck. Im never going there again. On my way to depaul hospital now.

I was admitted to the ER with a potentially life threatening situation. The staff were efficient and stayed on path with everything they needed to do for many hours. In doing so they remained kind and professional.

The emgerency department ask questions right to the patient in the waitig area. Questions that should be answer when you go to the tri-age nurse. One of the questions is they ask what bring you into the emergency department.............That made me feel very uncomfortable I just told them I was in then asked where at. Also ask you for your age. They ask them questions right in the waiting area aroumd everyone.

Im from Southern California and had to come here while here. let me tell you... This place is wayyyyyy better than any hospital where I'm from. I keep hearing people complaining that they had to wait "3 hours" to be seen or had to sit in a room for a couple hours etc. where I'm from ERs are so packed that people wait 12+ hours to even get and ER bed, then it's an average of another 16-24 hours to even get an open bed if you are admitted. The rooms at these hospitals tend to have 2-3 beds per SMALL room and when I hit the call light, it takes an average of 2 hours to be answered.
Here, most of the staff responds in a timely manner to call lights. There are a few bad apples (there are everywhere) but for the most part they are very compassionate and good at their jobs. We had an issue with a certain doc (I'll be kind and not write his name) and had to switch doc's but the nursing staff and management were on our side and helped 110% to get us what we need. The facility is clean and remodeled. The single-patient rooms with the bed for a family member are a blessing. I would definitely recommend this hospital.report this review -

My 70+ mother went it with chest pains. She is disable and arrived alone. She was transported there by ambulance. The doctor ordered an EKG that wasn't done until over an hour later.This hospital has the worst ED department I have ever seen. The staff were standing around socializing (I overheard the conversation) while patients need care. The staff was very condescending and has no compassion. When I asked the head nurse why it took so long for them to perform an EKG on my mother, she gave me a very poor excuse that made me sick to my stomach. Her response was "the nurses were probably tied up with this one patient and somehow just overlooked your mother".

I was very impressed with the renovations that this hospital is taking on. The staff was friendly and courteous and went out of their way to make sure that our family was comfortable doing a tragic time. Would like to give a special thanks to the ICU unit they're really top-notch.

I recently had surgery at Sentara Leigh and everyone was lovely. The facility was clean and the staff, everyone from the housekeepers to the surgeon, Dr. Groves were the best! I didn't want to leave. I could have stayed there for my recovery. Dr. Groves is an awesome surgeon!! You guys did an awesome job!!
