I am new to this town and didn’t know my closest hospital was nearly an hour away first off. I got in at 12 the staff was nice and moved very fast to see what’s going on I’m 15 weeks pregnant and their was only 3 other people their waiting to be seen when I got in they took my blood and just had me waiting with no updates. 5 hours later I was still waiting over ten people that came in after me was checked in and left way before me they had new born babies waiting for hours as well. An older man with a headache was seen before me and I asked why is it and the nurse told me that the other people was more urgent then me having unfamiliar pains and I’m pregnant in my preference is nonsense everyone needs help I saw nobody come in looking as they are about to die just as I walked in the did the same and walked right out before me. I will not ever go back to that hospital again and I’m actually looking into relocating because babies and pregnant women are not priority at all even if you been their for over 4 hours. I left and will Not be returning.
If I could leave NO STAR that would be a better rate. Absolutely the most terrible hospital we have ever been to. They will get you in triage fast but leave you sitting there waiting for a room for hours and once you get in the back you wait there forever. Too slow when needing urgent attention. This hospital needs to get their sh** straight!
My experience here has been amazing!!!! I gave birth to 2 Outta 4 of My Babies here & all the nurses & staff has been sooooo sweet & generous! They have really taken great care of my babies & I.
EXCELLENT CARE RECEIVED!! Received personal, professional care from the time I hit registration, through outpatient surgery, recovery, and discharge. Minimal wait times. Everyone was caring and compassionate. Thanks to Dr Sanders, the anesthesiology team, recovery room nurses, Summer, RN and Sheila, PCT for making my procedure an excellent experience!!! Thank you!!!!
I have nothing but good things to say about SGMC Urgent Care at Outpatient Plaza. My husband, my child, and myself have been seen here and the staff is friendly and professional. It's easy to get in and out and the physicians are great. Will continue to utilize this great service.
Forgotten
My husband went to the ER to get medical attention for his hand and shoulder. Needless to say after four hours of waiting, he wasn't seen and was told that they forgot about him and that the NP, whom first attended to him left and passed his records to another NP whom never came. But they remembered to charge a copay and our insurance company for services that were never done. All my husband walked away with after four hours was a prescription for some Ibuprofen. And the sad part is that they didn't even have a steady flow of patience. Very disappointed with services!!!
The staff is tremendous! They are very caring and a wonderful in making sure my medical needs are met. The Smith Northview Urgent Care Team has been very patient centered and very efficient in my infusion treatments.
Worst hospital. Been sitting in er lobby for 3 hours. Finally called to the back to now be sitting in the hallway for an hour waiting with my sister so that she can get blood drawn. Still no room ready and the staff is walking around super lazy ..laughing not giving a damn about their jobs. I'm here with my sister simply because she couldn't bear the pain to only be here in worse pain still waiting smh. I hate this hospital and most of their staff. Dont waste time coming to south Georgia. Most don't have a sincere care about your needs and the wait time is horrible .
Honestly, my time there was wonderful. They were fairly quick and incredibly nice and fun to be treated by. They made my unfortunate stay very pleasant and I am so thankful. My nurses were Jamie, Kaitlyn, and Geraldine. They were the most kind and attentive nurses I've met. Dr. Yusuf was awesome as well. I really appreciate all of their help and hardwork.
My husband had tests done at South Georgia Medical Center on 12/18/2015. I went back & forth with the business office to ensure this bill was paid. I was told that they were having trouble with their computer service in getting the correct numbers entered. This went on for several months. At long last they got the correct info input. My insurance paid and we paid up front what we were told was our share to pay. TODAY (08/02/2017) we get a statement stating we owed $25.39. Really, after 1 1/2 years!!! How do you run a business and don't even know who owes you money. No problem paying the money; this is just a POOR way to run a business.
In late October of 2016 my husband was in a tragic accident that resulted in him being life-flighted to Tallahassee Memorial. After a long night in ER surgery, a few nights of MSICU, 4 weeks inpatient, 15 surgeries, and several transfusions, he was released for transfer to Inpatient Rehabilitation. Our choice was to come home to South Georgia Medical Center.
We spent a little over a week with the Inpatient Rehab team at South Georgia Medical Center and our experience superseded anything we ever expected. I had never spent much time on the Inpatient Rehab unit previous to the accident so upon our arrival I was amazed at the facility and overcome with the comfort that the team provided us. From admission to discharge, this unit did not miss a beat with my husbands care and, amazingly, my well being as a caregiver.
SGMC is well under-recognized for the seeded compassion and care that the employees provide to their patients and our community.
I went in for chest pain and I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and while I were in there I asked if I could get something to eat and got no response when I called the nurse again they said after my results. After the doctor came in and told me that it was just muscle strain and I then asked about something to eat. He said they didn't tell me that you were pregnant but I'll take care of that right away. After I kept seeing nurses walking back and fourth with no food I stopped one of them and asked her can I get something to eat because I've been there for six hours and the doctor cleared me to get something to eat. She told I will see what they have for you to eat but when she came back she was empty handed without any food I waited 15 minutes and called for the nurse about my food and she said we will be right in she came in 10 minutes after that and said here are your discharge paper's I asked her about my food and she said well you are discharged and you can get your own food. I'm never going back to this hospital again.
I brought my child in for x-rays at 11:00 pm. It is 2:00 in the morning and we are sitting in the lobby waiting for results and watching two women kiss and feel each other up. When I told the women at the desk about it they said it would be discrimination to speak to them about it!!!
I find this place absolutely disgusting.
I will not be back.It is the most unprofessional place I have ever been.
It is now 3:30 in the morning and we were told because the back was full and there are no beds we have to wait for a bed to get results.
We were taken through the back to have x-rays and there were plenty of empty rooms/beds/chairs.
One woman that thought she was having a heart attack had been laying out there for three hours.
When I called the OPERATOR and asked to speak to someone in patient relations I was informed that there was not ANYONE there that late at night and CERTAINLY NOT on weekends.
I think this is an Hospital is an eyesore on this community.
Maybe we need Channel 6 news to investigate!!!
You guys absolutely suck and have always been the worst experience ever. Your hospital owner should be fired. It's plain and simple. My daughter whose 6 months old with a 102.6 temp shouldn't be waiting hours, while screaming only making things worse I also shouldn't be correcting the nurse not to use an adult needle on an infant. If I had other options, I'd take them in a heartbeat. Worst hospital ever and they always make mistakes. Always. I with hardly any medical education, shouldn't be correcting your staff!!!
Been sitting here since 5:30 with my pregnant girlfriend who is having horrible symptoms, it's now 8:18 pm. Almost 3 solid hours of nothing. On top of that there is a girl that's been here since 1pm!!!!! 1!!! She's shaking and bawling her eyes out and hasn't been helped at all. This hospital is a joke. Not to mention there's a elderly man beside my who is bleeding out of his ears and is completely unaware of what's going on and he's probably gonna be here for several hours as well. My suggestion. Fire everyone and get a better staff along with a plan on how to actually running this joke of a hospital.
UPDATE: it is now 12:18 am. After waiting from 5:30-9:25 pm to be seen me and my girlfriend have been sitting in this room since 9:30pm. We took a urine sample and they completely forgot about it. I walked out and saw her just sitting there. DOING NOTHING. It literally sat on the counter for over 2 hours. We are currently "waiting" on flu results. No telling how long we will be here. I WILL NEVER EVER RETURN TO THIS JOKE OF A HOSPITAL EVER AGAIN. Literally spoke to one doctor that was nice and not even the nice guy can even care. A freaking disgrace.
