Leesburg Regional Medical Center

Nurses are kind but forgetful. Many of the doctors, however, are RUDE and IMPATIENT. Communication between doctors also appears minimal. If you feel you are in an emergency, might be best to go elsewhere as you'll be in a hospital room for a GROSS amount of hours waiting for approval for something you were admitted for as an emergency before they decide NOT TO DO what they were planning to do and keeping you for another 24 hours for "evaluation". Medical debt only grows in this country and this location thrives on it while simultaneously providing little aid for the price.

I was at the ER for a grand total of about 10-11 hours. At some points it felt like we were forgotten, or looked over. The only good part about my visit was with P.a Tom, RN Mike, and the nurse who switched shifts as I was about ready to leave (i don’t remember her name). After hours of sitting (with my sole reason for coming being severe back pain) P.a Tom made sure to check on me, talk to me, and apologize for the way the day was going today in the ER department. He tried his hardest to make sure that I knew he was trying to figure out what was wrong. We couldn’t do a whole slew of tests because the ER was packed and I was beyond the point of tired. RN Mike has an enjoyable personality and laughed with me when I was most tense, never once giving me any attitude for asking when I could go back so I could go home to my children. And my last nurse, she walked in the room with the biggest smile and personality I had seen the ENTIRE time I was there. She lightened the mood and came to check on us more than pretty much any nurse I saw that day in, in the short time that she was with us. I may have been there forever, it seemed, but these three beautiful people made it not so agitating.

Honestly both nurses named Heather were awesome. All the other hospitals have been busy but were very punctual. This one they say they are gonna release you around a certain time and then 3 hours later they come up and say.... we are gonna have to keep you another night. Honestly I felt like I was in mental institution. I couldn’t even imagine a mother giving birth here.

We were told our brother was on a liquid diet. They brought a tray full of food. The nurse said he would check on it and 4:00, 2 hours later he came back and said he could eat. No thanks, everything was cold. He is confined to the bed and nobody ever came in to turn him or change him the whole time we were there. (4 hrs.) We were very disappointed in the care. He is terminal and totally dependent on them. We live far from the hospital. Dosen't give the family a good feeling to know their loved one is helpless and ignored when we are gone.

Great place to die! The nurse emergency button in the bathrooms don't work. The front desk person in the ER has no empathy towards anyone. This is more like a Dr office than an emergency room.
