Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital

This is THE MOST ATROCIOUS place in this “town/city” when my youngest son was three he aspirated and almost died, phoebe didn’t take any responsibility, in fact they TRIED to blame me! I have never been a big fan of Phoebe, in fact I tried to have my children delivered at Palmyra but they couldn’t do it.... ANYWAY, there have been several times where Phoebe is my only choice, and we suffer through it. If you know me, then you know I don’t wait well. I am petrified that something is going to go wrong again and that I am going to lose my son. Phoebe needs to to STOP being and having a monopoly in this place and give people a choice!

Worse than the typical corporate America treatment... Rude staff members... Passing the buck... Lying to family members... Dodging questions to legal caregivers... Putting family members on hold for lengthy periods of time... Unwilling to help... A totally upsetting experience! Avoid Albany, GA! Their hospital stinks!

I have been all over the state between specialists to figure out my ongoing medical issues, and this hospital has honestly been one of the best. Clean, comfortable, friendly staff. I can't speak for the ER, but I can speak for several of the doctors offices and areas of the hospital and it has been fantastic. I feel like most of the one stars reviews I've read haven't been to other ERs, becuase they're ALL slow unless you're showing life threatening symptoms. That's just how medical care in America is, plain and simple. Really, my only actual complaint about the facility is that there really should be a map of the place somewhere near the entrances. I had a lot of trouble finding where I needed to go my first time there, and the entrance I used had some construction going on and therefore no attendant to ask. (Said construction was gone within a week when. I came back, though.)

Professional, caring and friendly staff working in harmony with family members offer the best medical service available in the area.

My baby was struggling to breathe after I gave birth. The staff patted her back and got some mucous out so they thought she was fine. Her oxygen levels kept getting really low and the machine kept beeping but every time we said something about it, the nurse said the machine was beeping because it was out of batteries and not because our daughter wasn’t breathing and then she’d silence it. She said our daughters oxygen levels were still fine. It kept happening and my husband and I were worried. When we got to our room a different nurse there noticed that our baby was purple and she had to be rushed to NICU and hooked up to an oxygen machine! She wasn’t breathing!! I wish the nurse had actually looked at the machine instead of dismissing it as just “running out of batteries.” I’m seriously worried for any other mother and baby that are under this woman’s care. To think that labor and delivery is the best part of Phoebe is scary.
