Onslow Memorial Hospital

After arriving at the ER at 1230 in the afternoon, with severe morning sickness and stomach cramps being 12 weeks pregnant, we sat in a waiting room that had the most awe full smell that I had to fight to not turn my stomach.. after 45 minutes I finally had my vitals taken just to be told to sit back in the waiting room for an additional 45 minutes before they took me back to have labs done.. blood draw.. urine sample and so on.. upon completion I sat in a triage room with 5-6 other patients for around an hour and a half before being given an IV with fluids, at this point I had thrown up twice in doggie poop pick up baggies brought from home since not once was I offered or provided with a vomit bag.. finally maybe 30 minutes after the bag had run dry they disconnected the Drip bag and took me to an actual room to wait for the doctor.. again I arrived at 1230 and at 7:30 I finally got to see the doctor for the very first time.. who was polite but still telling me he would have to check on some other patients and would make his way back around and thanking me for my patience.. which was nearly insulting at this point.. it’s 8:35 now as I type this and I am still sitting in the same room with nothing to show for it other than an IV in my arm that has been dried up for hours.. doctor still hasn’t returned and I haven’t had anything to eat other than a fruit cup this morning for breakfast that I couldn’t even hold down.. worst hospital should definitely be investigated.. and soon for the hopes of any future patients especially pregnant ones with stomach pains... don’t expect to get anywhere fast or have anyone help you. I bothered nurse after nurse explaining how I had been in the hospital for hours and hours to be told “you’ll be seen soon” if I could give 0 stars I definitely would. Doesn’t deserve 1 star.. stay away. Also in the time I sat in the waiting room I saw 3 people whom had been there longer than myself get up and leave.. wish I had have done the same and went somewhere that actually cares for people and their health.

We had our baby here and everything was amazing! The nurses and doctors were all very informative and went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. I have nothing but great things to say and would recommend using this hospital for labor and delivery to anyone! So glad we came here!

In my original post I had a negative encounter with one employee, and gave 3 stars. But after my actual delivery and postpartum care, I revised it to a 5 star. The staff was excellent, undstanding, and just fantastic. They made my delivery easy and breastfeeding easier to understand. They sent me home with great goodies and made me feel that my baby and I were well cared for.

WOW! After all the unprofessional , crappy reviews of the Onslow Memorial Hospital ER I expected to be disaponted when I took my son there. COMPLETELY OPPOSITE!!!! The staff were very professional, kind and genuinely concerned about my child’s health. I had to wait 30 - 45 minutes to get back, but it’s an ER! Every ER I have ever been to there is a wait. Well worth the wait!!! The nurses, doctor , secretaries and the x-ray technicians were all OUTSTANDING! I wish I could give more stars. Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!!!

Honestly the worst hospital I have ever been to, if I could rate a 0 star I would. The front lobby was quick to bring my wife back but as soon as we got to the waiting room it took the nurse about 45mins to show up then nobody even came back for an additional 1hr 30mins. The doctor then told my wife that he can’t help her because she’s not showing enough signs to require any “emergency” help. The patients next to me have been waiting for god knows how long and if anyone comes here for any emergency related things I’m certain they’re dying no joke that’s sad. I feel terrible that this is even an open hospital. We left and walked out.
