Lewis County General Hospital

I am proud of our hospital. Their motto they really do work by, "We treat you like family. You're one of our own." Their doctors and nurses are very attentive. My family has had a consistently positive experience here.

I went to Lowville hospital because my knee was hurting and I waited in the waiting for for an hour and a half when there was only one other person there. I was there for around 7 hours just for them to give me crutches. Also my grandfather got into a tractor trailer accidents yesterday and there was an old man sitting in the waiting room with a huge lump on the side of his head, a cut on the top of his head, and scratches/bruises all over and all they did was walk out and put a neck brace on him when he fell down 20 stairs. He only had one arm and said he was boiling up and couldn’t really breathe. The hospital sucks and the nurses/ doctors never smile and are rude so I wouldn’t recommend going there.

They all suck they should go back to school or get a new job because this one is not working ....the help is great ...we where at ER for 3 hours they took x-rays and side there was nothing wroy with my 2 year olds arm...and guess what her elbow was out of place all night ...last time I go there and I'm not paying for them to not do there job...

Wait time is absolutely insane. To just run simple lab work, expect to wait at least 4-5 hours, even if you are the only patient in the ER. Go to Watertown and save yourself the time. The staff at lowville are ridiculously rude. I will avoid this place at all costs.

My mother in law was admitted to the ER with clear symptoms of a stroke. She sat in the ER room for six hours, the doctor only ran blood work, told her she had a thyroid problem and could be released. My husband sat there while her monitors were going off and the doctor still wanted to discharge her. Another doctor finally came in and said " this woman has suffered a stroke." The original doctor said it was a new development. She was then sent by ambulance to upstate hospital arriving and being examined by the doctor there NINE HOURS after her stroke!! She then had to be rushed in to emergency surgery because of a blood clot in the back of her brain!! She spent one month at upstate hospital and still has no feeling in the right side of her body. The emergency room doctors are a freaking joke!!
