Claiborne County Hospital

I wish I could give a zero!! Because this is the absolute worse hospital. I went four times in one week before finally going to Knoxville to confirm I was about to die and thank god knoxville actually listened to me and ran test. This hospital kept telling me I was having panic attacks and ran no tests!! Treated me like I was crazy. They also talk about patients like “here comes Linda that crazy lady again” how unprofessional!! And when my father stayed they tried to feed him a piece of meat covered in black mold. Disgusting hospital

This is a poor excuse for a hospital I went with my daughter an her ankle was hurting so bad she couldn’t hardly walk on it they tell her they can’t find anything!!! My dad was treated there s few months ago an they sent him home after forgetting to close an artery an blood was going everywhere inside his body just plain negligence!!! The staff is very rude an the doctor was so arrogant it wasn’t funny at all!!! Do not take a loved one to this hospital if u care about them at all!!!

Worst emergency room experience. My family member was having a heart attack and the Er doctor insisted she stay at this facility and wait for cardiology the next morning instead of be transferred to a higher level of care . Keep in mind this facility doesn’t have a cath lab or a cardiologist. Her heart rate dropped into the 30’s and still no concern from the physician. According to him she still wasn’t “ urgent” enough. We asked for transfer and the physician was appalled by our request . Anyone who cares would want their family member transferred to a higher level of care. The nurses even stated they would leave also. Another incident was when the front desk clerk called security because she thought there was more than 2 people in her room. The security guard who rudely opened her curtain without knocking ( what if she was naked) was ready to throw someone out he said ,” oh, I was told there were more than two people in here” it is sad that this facility cares more about how many people are in a room but didn’t even react when her heart rate dropped into the 30’s. We ended up having her discharged and drove her to another hospital where she received the care she needed . I feel bad for this community, they need more resources and more experienced doctors. I will say our nurse was a shining star throughout the whole experience. The doctor, security and the front desk clerk need to find new professions .

Claiborne Meducal Center has improved greatly over the last few years. Its bright, cheerful and clean. The staff have become friendly, helpful, kind and answer any and all questions. Their updated technology is amazing too! Another big plus is that the food has improved also!

They took excellent care of my husband on Christmas Eve! Very caring staff!
