Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital

I had a horrible experience with OLBH while my mother was here. I spoke with several people trying to address my concern. No one seemed to care or felt that nothing was done wrong. My mother was weak and ordered to have nothing by mouth. It took therapy 3 days to conduct a swallow test and they only had to come from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. Test was done ordered her to have only thickened liquids and chopped food and to be fed. Next tray was given and a few moments later her Dr came into her room during patients rounds. She observed my mother having a tray by herself and was struggling and had liquids spilled all over her. The Dr was excellent and noted everything in her chart. She also put the order in again for her to have special food and to be fed. Even the names of the nurses working at that time. Unfortunately that was her last meal she died that afternoon. Not one person I spoke to acknowledged that fact that there was a lack of communication. And that orders were not followed. I will forever be heartbroken by the negligent care my mother received. Other things happened also, one being uncaring attitudes from the nurses. I thought by reaching out that someone might appreciate the fact that these things happened and could investigate and see it didn't happen to other patients. Unfortunately the ones I spoke to was not interested in the care of the patients. They spoke to me as if they were taking up for themselves personally and not one bit concerned about patient care. Past, present or future. If they didn't have patients to care for they most certainly would not have a job! I would think that patient care of all aspects, big and small would be top priority. Sure was not the case with my experience.

Best Place Ever! I took My 18 month old daughter tonight and She had a fever and stiff neck! We were very worried. The staff was wonderful as always.The doctor who treated her was very thorough and so good with her. It turned out to be strep throat. Also We weren't there very long. It's definitely worth driving a hour and twenty minutes for me!

I’ve been here 1 time... One time, and i’ll never go back. This isn’t even my family doctor, i went to bellfonte for a drug screen a physical. i had an appointment set at 9:15 for a peepee test and fondling of my jewels. i proceeded to watch 5 people come in after me, get looked at before me, by the same nurse. i sat in the waiting room for an hour before getting called upon. i then did a peepee test and continued to wait ANOTHER hour before anyone else assisted me in my room where i waited from 10:15-11 before told i was good to go. they waited 45 minutes to just tell me i’m finished. not to mention it’s a Thursday morning where i still had to go to work. waste of time, waste of money. DO NOT SPEMD YOUR TIME HERE

My uncle stayed 7 days in May he said they treated him great diagnosed him with pots syndrome but now when he passes out basically everyday and finally decided to go back after passing out for a month,they tell him there's nothing left to do, he's a great guy who's completely turned his life around and only wants help,he can't stand over a minute or two without passing out from his heart rate

I spent seven hours hours in the er with my son today. I have never witnessed such a sorry excuse for human health care in my life. I don’t know what people in this area we live in are supposed to do for medical care. Horrible horrible horrible!!!!! May God be with us
