Porter Regional Hospital

I would truly love to say that I have never felt so welcomed and cared for. The nurses were wonderful. They were courteousand friendly, but most of professional. Dr. Paul he made me feel comfortable through my procedure while there. I must also thank the kitchen staff, you all were wonderful and food was good.

During the long labor and birth of my first born, each and every nurse has been caring and helpful. I could not have asked for a better experience, through 8 RNs at my time of writing this, I’m sure it can’t be coincidence, but a simply well-staffed maternity ward. I’m very happy with the way the birth of my daughter and am eternally grateful to the hard working women who have given us this great experience.

I love how they pay 18 minute ER wait. What a joke been here for over 3 hours and have not seen a doctor. Very frustrating.

If I could give less stars I would. The nurses, aside from a night nurse I had, were terrible. They ignored my call light. They could see I was in obvious distress and didn't ask what was wrong. I overheard the nurse tell the next nurse at shift change that I was nice but I cried a lot. I was super sick, so sick that I couldn't do anything but cry and say I don't feel good. They didn't call my doctor or try to do anything to help me. When I complained to my doctor at discharge and the nurse was there, she denied the fact that I was getting myself out of bed to use the bathroom which I was not supposed to do myself, and measuring my own urine and putting it on the white board for the doctor. The last time I was there I couldn't even get in the bed when I finally got a room 7 hours after getting to the ER by ambulance. The nurse didn't even try to help me into bed, she was busy asking about my meds which had already been taken down in the ER. When I asked her if she could see I was in distress and needed help she left the room and the nurse supervisor came in and told me that she wouldn't have her nurses treated with disrespect. I called and had someone pick me up right then. I will not be admitted in that hospital ever again. They don't even have a patient advocate, they tell you to talk to the nurse supervisor, well I saw how that worked. No thank you. Just as someone else pointed out, check out the good reviews and you'll find they are fake.

The staff on the oncology floor are the best. Thank god for good nurses.
