CAMC Urology department obviously has issues. As a new patient I found Dr. Hale and his student Dr. Hoyt very pleasant and was pleased with my first visit. They let me know going out the door that a script I was on, they wanted to up the dose. Okay. That was a month ago, I have called that office or had them calling me a dozen times over this script. And here I still wait, been out of meds a month. Made my last call to them today to ask Dr. Hale to call me so I can explain why I have to change Doctors. Very unfortunate that patients are treated this way. It is like they expect US to do their jobs. read more

I had foot surgery April 1st Dr. Dockery did the surgery, he's always great. But today the whole staff was amazing so caring and polite. Thank you all for what you do!! read more

What has happened to the care team these days I went to hospital with breathing problems and lots of pain instead of giving medicine that I could take they kept giving me medicine i am allergic to and when I told her she raised her voice at me saying the Doctor isn't going to give you anything else then when I sit in pain crying and nauseous she did nothing her name is Jessica Burgess one of the worst nurses I have ever had when I said to her should have stayed home y'all are just letting me sit in the hallway in misery she said then Go I'm not doing this with you I said you don't need to be rude she said if you want to leave then leave. Also there was this old man that was in the hallway and another nurse had to go tell Jessica that he peed on himself and needles to say he sit in it for a bit.all she wants to do is sit on her ass.she is definitely in the wrong profession. read more

Was admitted for a 4 wheeling accident. I had trauma team and ortho following me. Neither communicated with eachother. I had a broken pelvis on the right side. Ortho team was good and told me I can't bear weight on the right, a few hours later trauma team comes in telling me to put weight on my right leg and not my left. This happened multiple times. PT is a joke and lies about your progress. I was stuck in the ER for 2 days before they admitted me to the med surg floor. Awful place. The nurses were nice. read more

They have been under lawsuit lately and no matter how sick you are, you can't get in to see a specialist. Also, I know somebody who has a Bachlor's and years of hospital work and they absolutely will not acknowlege he even applied, I think because he is 35. read more

I just had a heart cath a week ago and I was seen by a large staff from nurses to transport and everyone was friendly and professional

worst hospital i have ever been to had a complete hysterectomy there and after surgery I had a major anxiety attack and was left to deal with it myself instead of getting help from this hospital, spent the night and was not taken care of no monitors on me , I had 1 nice nurse the rest acted like I was a bother to them my IV machine went off every 3 hours all I can say is do your research before staying at any hospital read more

Everything Fucking thing.....ER is the worst place to come advise you to seek care elsewhere especially if you get admitted to hospital never again hear patient sitting in hallway since 6:00 am no check up "Oh I forgot he didn't ring the buzzer" literally laying right next to nurse station but I forgot they had to discuss family issues and kids while people lay in a hallway while everybody walks by to stare at you....DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME they literally have no beds!!! What a freaking joke suggestion ask for referral to Cleveland Clinic or better yet any other hospital because you will not be seen anytime soon read more

Treated like shit today on floor 4r recovery. Spent 4 nights there and then for my med like always. They tried to B.s me like a drug addict and give me some pills im not even supposed take( I was there for alcohol) unstead they still told me it was what suppposed to be. But was actually motrin. They stood in the hallway talking shit the whole time. And it was still deliberate. On my way out the door the went over the entire intercom of camc Stated me by full name on my way out to the doors say I was fucking koo koo I don't not recommend at all read more

If you wanna die early, go to CAMC in Charleston, they'll treat you like you're dumb, deny any requests you have for your comfort. it's more of a connivence for them if you just die instead of treating you because its less work for the "nurses" that sit on the counters and gossip for hours. this isn't a hospital, it's a prison with worse standards than a prison. read more

Was transferred to camc with diarrhea and a lower bowel obstruction. After 20 hrs. of diarrhea with no medication,except an iv, no test or referrals I was released and sent home with no meds. or diagnosis. Worse experience in my life. Will not us this hospital ever again and would recommend staying away. read more

hands down, the worst hospital along with general. all they do is send people home with pills and go to the next one. it's sad, you gotta be lying in the floor dying before they might keep you. read more

I mean how do they let a person that is having heart surgery lose all of their personal belongings while changing rooms that's not acceptable I mean they're supposed to be these people's protectors while they're in there I kept up with the personal belongings everywhere I was allowed to be and they just vanish when someone goes to surgery it's ridiculous read more

I would honestly rate the er at the hospital in the negative if possible. I came into the emergency room by ambulance (I have a heart condition) and was quickly transfered to a wheelchair and shoved in a nice dark corner to be completely ignore for 4 hours. I didn't even see a Dr! They really are the worst er I've ever been in. read more

the doctors were professional,informative attentive and polite, so were the nurses and aids,even the young man who came to get my menu orders.thank you camc memorial for making my stay as pleasant as possible read more

It's a pain to get to and park, but it's a pretty good hospital. I was booked for surgery and things were kept pretty sufficient. There was some waiting from a few visits, but it wasn't too painful, considering how busy it becomes. I woke up with a nurse ready to help me. That was comforting. Unlike CAMC General, where I woke up alone. Nothing scarier than being alone when you're post-surgery. If you're going to this hospital, you're in good hands. read more

While the nursing care was professional and compassionate, this hospital is terrible. It is understaffed and overwhelmed. Poor communication with the patient. Poor communication between departments. Patient is left feeling like a hostage. read more

My neighbor was transported by ambulance yesterday very ill . She was treated like an outcast. They ran a few test and told her she was released to go home without any answers. She did not have a ride home so they just sit her out in the waiting room with out a blanket or sheet over her. She had nothing to drink or eat the whole time and she is a diabetic. This is an 87 year old woman, very frail and very sick. She sat there for hours without anyone checking on her to see if she was ok. Finally a young girl came to her and told her she would take her home about 11:00 pm. There is no reason that this poor lady should have to be treated like this. Druggies who go in for pain meds get treated better. If I get a chance to talk with her then I am going to suggest filing a negligence law suit. read more

Stay Away from this place if you break a femur! The orthopedic surgeons group is the pits. I had a tIranian rod jammed in. it was visible, I am told, to the surgeon that I had osteoporosis. he never told me I should get a bone scan or suggested Prolia or Fossamax. This might have saved me the second break, much worse, lower down. I am now crippled for life. Thanks, for nothing, Quacks. read more

CAMC Memorial Hospital - Hospitals Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

I am a 3 heart attack survivor and this hospital and the staff were great each and every time I was here. Also had other heart related visits and I never had an issue. I trust the folks and this hospital because they have saved my life. Also during cardiac rehab the staff was excellent. I am a fan of CAMC Memorial, they were a life saver for me. My only complaint is the parking, but it's really not that big of a deal. read more

Don't go to this place, hand to God they are prejudice, it's not safe if your black or white. They go out of their way not to treat me, they practically laugh in my face even when I have two other people with me verifying my symptoms and illnesses and others have told me of similar experiences on top of that I have been misdiagnosed me so many times I could have sued 6 times over. read more

Where do I start. I had a cardiac cath appointment. the OR nurse started trimming me and cutting me up on both sides of my leg around the groin area. The doctor was 30 minutes late while the OR staff huddled in a corner out of site to talk amongst themselves without telling me what was going on. When the doctor did show up I didn't receive any sedation. My mom always believed in this place for their cardiac care and had called me saying that she had passed out. I told her to call 9-1 and get to the hospital. She chose CAMC memorial instead of Thomas which in my opinion has better cardiologist and took care of me when I had my heart attack. My mom called me and said that they were wanting to release her and bring her back as an outpatient to do a sublasion. I told her not to let them discharge her. Something was t right. She then was going into strut him is and they again wanted to discharge her and bring her back as an outpatient to shock her heart. I again said, do not let them discharge you mom!! She then started having a leaky heart valve and kidney failure and decided not to go on with care. I had no clue that when they injected morphine into her that I would never be able to communicate with her ever again. I just thought she would be loopy. My mom past on Christmas eve. I recently when you one of their primary care portals thinking it was family are which only charged me out of pocket 112.00 per visit. CAMC on the other hand charged 546.00 without insurance and because I make over a certain threshold wouldn't work with me on bringing the price down. To be honest I felt that the visit it was the biggest waste of money. My GF has been going to them and has not been properly diagnosed for trembling and passing out. I did some research and she carry's the classic signs of an autonomic disorder that is probably related to her chemo treatment. They are a bunch of quacks in my opinion. read more

I would like to tell everyone that has family in the hospital DO NOT leave your family member alone at night. The nighttime nursing staff sucks, they do as little as they have to do. They play on their phones they laugh and carry on and god forbid you ask them anything. Both of my parents have been in the hospital several After being transferred from ICU to a regular room my moms treatment has seriously declined. We have seen a nurse 2 times in 24 hours and ur takes forever to get anything . If I weren't staying in here with her she would suffer....I DO NOT recommend this hospital !!!!!!! read more

I've had chest pains all day and went to my reg doc. He sent me to ER. I've been here, still in WAITING ROOM, in CAMC ER for OVER 5 hours! This is, by far, the saddest excuse for "emergency" care I've ever encountered! I would NOT recommend CAMC to ANYONE! read more

The parking lot holds you hostage. The exit kiosks are not manned now and it takes forever to get out

Just waiting to be discharged and have met quite a few caring, albeit frustrated and burnt out nurses from the various departments we've passed through from pre-op to icu. I will never be back to this hospital. I have never seen such poor customer service from a health care provider. No communication with families. No feeling of who the consumer is. Too many times throughout my stay, felt that hopeless, at the mercy of feeling when you have no control of your environment. read more

The treatment and overall care received from the entire team at CAMC Family Medicine Center has been top notch.

If could give a zero I would. My 84 year old Mom has been on the ER for over 5 hours. Severely dehydrated and very ill. Nurses rude not helping. Is there any doctors that are this hospital. WV needs a decent hospital. read more

My husband had sudden onset of chest pain and shortness of breath, with extremely high bp in one arm and unmeasurable with our electronic device in the other. I frantically drove him to the ER with our infant, thinking he was having a heart attack. They proceeded to park us in the waiting room for THREE HOURS, never bothered to check bp in both arms, and we didn't even get to see a doctor. It's chest pain in a healthy young male, I want a doctor. Unbelievable. read more

This place is a complete DUMP, me and my family have been here visiting a family member for a week and the entire time the same trash has been on the ground, bugs flying around everywhere. Staff is completely stupid of how to handle patients, emergency situations. Hear different stories from all the "nurses", they "forgot" about the surgery, freaking BS if you ask me. This place needs to be shut down and have people that really care about this hospital and the patients in it running it and actually know how to clean the damn place looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the 1930's. If I could rate this place lower I would. read more

In July 2020 I received a call by my Cardiologist from the Veterans Administration that the Echocardiogram showed a possible aneurysm in my aorta and to seek out medical care immediately. This was on a holiday and so all the VA facilities were closed. II told the doctor that I'd be going to the ER at CAMC Memorial in Charleston, WV. I went to the ER and was told that everything was fine. The next business day I called community care at the VA to make sure that the services would be covered and it was. Well just a few days ago I received a bill from the hospital. They waited over 8 months before trying to bill the VA. The claim was denied because the hospital waited over 180 days. I know that if it had been paid the car would only pay a fraction of this claim. To me it would seem that the hospital is trying to get a full cut for the amount that they charged. I'm looking into seeing if this is illegal. read more

I had my 96 year old dad in the ER for severe headache with nausea. My poor dad had to wait for 8 unbelievable hours to be taken back to see a doctor. There is no excuse for this type of treatment, especially for one so elderly having to sit in those very uncomfortable chairs in the ER. The (very young) DO told dad that he was only dehydrated and they gave him IV Fluids. A different doctor then came in to see him and ordered for him to stay overnight. Came to find out that dad had a retinal bleed behind his left eye and he was on a blood thinner. I'm just saying that the ER doctors need more schooling because this would have ended in a disaster if he had only be treated for dehydration and not admitted to later discover the bleed. There also was no water fountain in the ER to at least get a drink. I can't believe such a huge hospital doesn't have simple amenities as a water fountain. read more

I was having chest pains. I was hospitalized before for this. I get really cold, so I was wearing a lot of layers with a large hoodie being the top layer. I also carry a lot of stuff in the pocket of my hoodie. I had to take it off because they had to do vitals, EKG and blood work. The stuff in the pocket kept falling out, so I pulled it out and put it in my purse. One of the staff, because of how I looked wearing a big hoodie and carrying a bag, assumed I was carrying a gun. The security, in front of the whole waiting room, started questioning me and asked to search my purse. I allowed it because I was so humiliated, and did not want to make more of a scene. Once they were done searching I had to sit there with my chest still hurting while the staff laughed at me making jokes. Once they got me back, it got better, but how the front staff acted and discriminated due to looks was totally unacceptable. I only went to this ER because this is the hospital my cardiologist is affiliated with. read more

I work at this hospital. I can honestly say both as a patient and an employee that this hospital is (currently) sub-par at best. The ER is atrocious. The hospital is grossly under staffed. There is no communication between departments. The hospital is dirty. The only positive thing I can say is that it is the best place to be seen for heart problems. No cutting edge cancer treatment, pretty new building though, but that's about it. Their lab is excellent. Good place to choose for laboratory results but not for cancer treatment or emergency room. Corporate keeps making budget cuts in the most important areas rather than cuts from their salaries, so naturally the quality of care has gone down drastically. read more
