The service was good. The financial department is terrible. They don't do monthly drafts or statements. They would not negotiate with insurance. I received 5 letters in a 14 months including the referral to collections one. We had a $1000+ bill from an unexpected ER visit when on vacation. The insurance would pay anything because we were out of state. The renegotiate was $25. YES, you read that right $25. We paid $ 1300 for 20 minutes of care. Save your money and go to Urgent Care if at all possible.
Earlier this month, I had surgery at Waccamaw Community Hospital. The facility is well maintained and kept very clean. The employees of Waccamaw Community Hospital are, in my opinion, professional, well trained, caring, and compassionate. The nurses are incredible, and each member of the nursing staff that I had contact with went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. They took time to answer my questions. They made sure I had everything I needed before leaving my room. The fact that the pride taken in caring for their patients was obvious, which, in today's busy world is sometimes a rarity, is absolutely wonderful.
My Mother was at Waccamaw during the past week or so of February this year and she passed on the last Sunday of the Month. I do not have the words to express what an awesome hospital. The doctors, the nurses, the staff, the emergency room folks, EVERYONE was so wonderful that I have praised this hospital ever since. I was at MUSC for 3 weeks this summer and I told them they needed to send someone to visit Waccamaw because it is the most caring, progressive, well staffed, hospital that I have ever been in or visited.
My 7-year-old daughter broke her arm while we were on vacation. We went to the ER for treatment. The whole team from the triage nurse, ER doc, to the orthopaedic doctor who reset her arm, everyone was fantastic. Compassionate, caring, kind and very attentive. I am very thankful for their help and have nothing but great things to say.
We had to take our 18 month old in while on vacation. The doctor was sweet, effective and very professional. The staff was professional and the facility was clean. We were in and out in an hour. Thank you for making our little guy feel better!!
I spent 5 days in the hospital with a very sick baby girl. We were released this evening. Her care has been excellent. While I tried not to bother the staff too much, they were always extremely helpful when I had a question or needed something for the baby or myself (she couldn't be left alone in the room, which means I only left twice for no more than 30 minutes during the entire week). I was been incredibly impressed with every person who was involved in our week at "Waccamaw Ritz Carlton" as we called it. from the E.R. staff, to the R.N. to the respiratory therapists, to the case workers, even down to the housekeeper and the food service workers. Attitudes are positive, friendly, and upbeat. The care is precise. 95% of the time all of her treatments were right on time. They are great about keeping calm even when there is concern and wonderful about providing resources for continued proper health care after release. Most importantly, my girl is feeling SO much better. I always ask the names of everyone who comes in so that the baby will know that they are her friends and we refer to them as such. Thank you to our nurses - Ms. Heidi, Ms. Aubrey, and Miss Emma. Special thank you to the respiratory therapists Mr. Brent, Mr. Hermie (the bulb syringe ninja), Miss Tammy, and Mr. Terry. And of course Dr. Baker and Miss Pam. There was also a housekeeper in particular that was really sweet and one food service worker in particular whose name I never caught - he was an older gentleman and he always says "God bless you" and truly warmed my heart and brought a peace each morning. It is EASY to staff a hospital full of people with the right credentials - what is NOT easy is staffing a hospital full of people who not only have the credentials but also have natural instinct and beautiful demeanors! This is truly the best hospital visit I've ever had in the Myrtle Beach area.

My husband had a heart attack a month ago. Treatment was rapid, including transfers to Georgetown and MUSC for placement of a stent. Five days later he was able to fly to San Francisco without any problems. Excellent care.
