Olean General Hospital

My grand-daughter and I were very disgusted by one young blonde nurses tight see-through pants!! She was on the 3rd floor the cardiac unit. If they didn't have a heart attack when they came in they did while they were there! My grand-daughter was the first to say something! Need better attire

After a horrible injury I was taken to Olean General. I have to say that nearly every person I came in contact with exceeded my expectations on every level. From the doctors and nurses to the radiology techs and even the people who attended to my room and brought me my meals were good to me every day in every way during my stay. They really made me feel good at a very bad time. Thank you Olean General!

I took a terrible fall down stairs on September 22, 2018 & was taken by ambulance to this hospital. It was the worst ER experience I’ve ever had. I’m a 62 year old woman & I’ve had my share of ER visits. I was in excruciating pain & could hardly take a breath without horrible pain. They did some tests, later only to find out they were 4 CT scans of my head & other parts of my upper body. The wait was very long but finally someone came in & told me “nothings broken but you’ll be very sore for awhile.” He never identified himself & that’s all he said to me & then left. A nurse came in to release me & gave me a “glorified aspirin” for pain. I asked her about something for the pain to take home & she said that was all she was allowed to offer me. She did give me a summary sheet of my visit. When I got home I realized I didn’t even see a Dr!! I was seen by a PA!!! I would have never guessed a hospital ER would be staffed by PAs!!! I was told to contact my PCP so the next day I did just that. I don’t live in the southern tier, I live right outside the Buffalo area. My Dr told me to go to a hospital up here to be rechecked so I did. The 2nd hospital sent for the 4 CT scans Olean had done. After waiting a short time someone came in & told me that I had a pretty bad concussion & a couple broken ribs!! I was shocked!!! It’s been 6 weeks now, I’m healing but very slowly & no thanks to Olean Hospital. I will never go back there again!!!

This hospital is poorly managed from the top down, deceptive, abusive, and only concerned with the bottom dollar. I was in the psych unit, and I would rather DIE than EVER go back there again! They are straight up abusive in the psych unit, forcing patients into withdrawal from very potent meds. I was in deep withdrawal from several meds that they had but would not give me, and I fell down to my knees in the middle of the hallway. Luckily my parents were there to help me because NOT ONE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL helped me until my mother screamed at them! Additionally, the staff didn't even know the basic rules of the hospital or NYS law. They also violated HIPAA on multiple occasions.

They are opening up a geriatric psych unit soon, and I would rather bury my loved ones than put them through this torture. Seriously, I don't have strong enough words to describe how awful a place this is. I will NEVER go there again - for any reason. This place needs to be burned to the ground and the entire flailing staff replaced. It's an abomination.

olean hospital has ex farm hands drawing blood there. olean is the roach motel, you check in but you don't check out.
