Cortland Regional Medical Center

Had 2 CT scans in Radiology. Technician was profession and helpful. Second CT scan they called in a nurse to get the IV in, did a very good job. When I went in, the receptionist was friendly and curteous. So far so good on these two visits.

The people at the front desk are horrible and rude. The hospital is disgusting, and the doctors and nurses don’t know what they’re doing. I once called when I was sick with mono if the emergency room was busy and the women on the phone sarcastically said to me “yeah we’re always busy we’re an emergency room what do you think?”. Don’t go to this hospital!

Worst hospital ever! If o had to give all the reasons this post would go on for days. But they like to change IVs ect. with dirty gloves on. The same gloves they picked items off the floor with and the same gloves they scrolled through their dirty cellphone with and I am saying this because I watched it happen.

Treated like a criminal for seeking help with unknown medical issue. Still no answers regarding a mri. Machines are either out of calibration or broken. Nurses thought i was crashing any time i tried to sleep. Children blood pressure cuffs hurt on adults.

Where to start? After so many bad experiences here under its old name we tried them again today under the new management to save a trip to a real hospital in Syracuse. In the past my wife was labled by dr warts as having a sinus infection even though she had ZERO sinus symptoms. Instead she had a stomach ulcer. This was just one bad experience here. I was hit by a tractor trailer on i81 while driving a minivan. They x rayed me, said I was fine - just take these muscle relaxers and rest. Mind you they gave me one at the hospital. Nurse said it takes a while to kick in I'll be fine to drive home. 40 min later i finally leave and soon as I got on road I realized I was not myself. I've never been high or intoxicated in my life so mayby it hit me hard but I couldn't drive well. No traffic so i drove slow to where I could sleep it off. Seriously they told me to drive home but the pill bottle and pharmacist said not to... Today my wife waited for SEVEN HOURS to be told some bull bla, bla bla, see a specialist. My nursing wife was made to not eat, drink, or be able to nurse baby for 7 hours to get a few minues of bla bla. If there was 0 stars this place would get it. Its better than Venezuela but its not up to American quality that's for sure.
