Westerly Hospital

Very good radiology department. Radiology technologist very well trained.

Always a pleasant experience for me given the circumstances. Triage as well as the nurses were excellent! Doctors were knowledgeable and relatively caring as well, but so quick to rush you out the door. I had a kidney stone that was said to be 2mm, turned out to be over 6mm. I was at a pain level of 10, vomiting every few minutes, pleading with the doctor to let the pain level out a little and they simply weren't hearing it. The ER was near empty as well. They used to let you spend the night if that's what you needed. I love the Westerly Hospital and would never tarnish your name with anything less than 4 stars, but please bring back the old ideals. Make all those contributors on the plaques in the lobby proud!! Some of us know them personally and speak with them frequently!

Would not recommend this hospital. I went in with a broken nose on Thursday night and felt highly uncomfortable my entire visit. I waited four hours for doctors to tell me that I broke my nose in one spot and they also refused to put my nose back in place that night because they claimed it was too swollen. I was seen by doctor David Bouslough MD. Every time I consulted with him the conversations we had were very short and he did not explain anything to help me with moving forward with this injury. Instead he told me that I needed to consult with an Otolaryngology in about five days to further discuss putting my nose back into place. Three days later, I went to my primary care doctor because I was in excruciating pain for him to tell me that my nose being out of place meant that it was dislocated, which I had never been told about at Westerly Hospital. The same day I went to Rhode Island Hospital because of the amount of discomfort I was in for them to tell me that my nose was broken in FOUR places not one and also, that the doctor that I saw at Westerly Hospital should have put my nose back in place that night instead of making me wait almost five days; it didn't matter if it was swollen. They also said if I waited the five days that I was told to wait I would have most likely needed surgery to fix my nose because it would have been harder to move after the bones were already fusing together. It was difficult for the doctors to fix my nose at RI Hospital, but thankfully for them there was still some movement and they were able to straighten it out again. It was likely that Dr. Bouslough wanted me to wait that long so that I would have surgery on my nose and so that would be more money in his pocket, which is sad considering the fact that I am a 19 year old college student that would not be able to afford that or even take off enough time to recover from something like that. Moral of the story, even if I have life threatening injuries, I will never go back to Westerly Hospital again. They not only waisted my time and money, but almost jeopardized my appearance for their own benefit.

Went with a patient to wound care clinic, the APRN (Bridgette) was totally unprofessional, rude, cut my patients family member off every second she could. I get their are other patients, but at least have the decency to hear what the patients been dealing with instead of treating them like a number. I will NEVER recommend that wound care clinic to anyone! These elderly patients deserve to be treated with kindness, not be cut off and deal with awful rude bedside manner! So disappointed. Not to mention we barely got information and we’re basically told to treat the wound ourselves. Awful!

I went to the emergency room for 6 hours for abdominal pain, they did a CT scan on me and told me I'm fine, i later went to a gastroenterologist and told me i have severe acute pancreatitis and might need surgery. I am shocked of what kind of care they give, I'm giving this 2 star because the nurse at the emergency room was very nice and helpful, other wise they deserve 0 stars.
