Delaware County Memorial Hospital

Dr. Kornienko is awful. Didn’t know tests were done, didn’t know results were in and didn’t know how to communicate this with patient. He came in the morning, was in the middle of talking to me, his phone rang and he left. Never came back, had to request he be paged. Nurses were amazing but when the top of the chain is awful- hard to feel good or recommend a place. He doesn’t come across as he cares about people. Even if he is the most amazing Dr, you still need to learn to interact with the public.

Okay first I was told for years do not go to Dcmh,it's horrible .
But had choice of Bryn Mawr or here,this time chose here and glad I did.

Went into emergency room with advice from my doctor.
Was called in within 5 minutes.
Staff was attentive and kept me informed what was going on.
After 2 hours on ER told me was going to be admitted.
Moved upstairs to floor 5 about a hour later.
Was in hospital for 3 days. I got to say all the Rns where very attentive, especially Danielle and Lydia.
The techs kept me informed of vitals after each time and cleaning person cleaned room each day.
All where very polite, friendly and again kept me in loop what was going on.

The food also was good,with a wide selection of choices for all 3 meals.

The rooms ,though can tell have seen better days was clean and well laid out.

Overall give it 4 out of 5 because rooms could be improved and the layout of the hospital in general could be improved but staff deserve 5 stars .

I literally just left the hospital with a terrible experience! This man at the front desk of the ER was to help me get results of an MRI test I went in for a week ago.. he took my ID, called the radiology department and kept giving them my first name as my last name even after I corrected him TWICE so of course radiology couldn’t pull my info. I let him know I needed the records on a disc for a surgery I have scheduled for TOMORROW. Apparently for some reason they won’t release it to my doctor till I came in with an ID. This unprofessional man told me they couldn’t find my records and “they were doing me a favor”. A lady beside him looked like she was telling him how to get me help but he brushed her off and said “it’s ok, just let her go”. How is such a person the first person to meet people that have emergencies or need help? I had both my kids at this hospital and have had all my procedures here but for this terrible experience, today is my very last. Disgusted!

I went to this ER years ago for a bad headache I had for three days. They take my history and during my explanation I brought up my mother's hereditary brain anurysim. The Dr.'s first reaction was " we will not test for that. " I wasn't asking I just wanted help to relieving my headache and figure out why it's lasting so long. They barely did an exam and just gave me pain meds. The pain meds helped a tiny bit. It subsided on it's own finally the next day. Worst treatment ever. What if the headache was due to a brain anurysim. Do your examination thoroughly and research so it can be treated. Don't just snap at the patient because you find them as a inconvience.

Another experience:
I was here a few years later to have my daughter due to low amino fluid level. I didn't want to be there but due to our midwife was contracted with just this hospital, I was out of options. The midwives were excellent. The hospital staff, not so much. The nurse was getting frustrated that I kept moving and causing the monitor for the baby to slip. I was in labor. What do you expect?! Well the nurse said "if you were my patient I would have you strapped to the bed." Horrible!

I was seen in the emergency room 2 months ago with an anaphylactic reaction. I was seen right away. Dr. Kingsley and Dr. Giesa were execellent, calm, knowledgeable, with wonderful bedside manner. The nursing staff all jumped in to help. My nurse Cheryl was warm, friendly, and very attentive. Everyone took great care of me. I will go back to this hospital if I ever have a need!
