From the moment I entered the building the young ladies at the front desk, to the admissions nurse were just awesome. Becca, Molly and Dr. Reeves were on top of the situation. Professional, caring and compassionate. Molly made me laugh so hard it hurt. Thank you all so much. Blessings. read more

A few years ago I was bitten by a dog and it took a huge chunk out of my leg. Whatever dr they had working at the time decided the best route was to try and staple the hole closed and ended up shooting a staple directly in the middle of the hole in my leg. I could see his hands shaking the entire time. Went to my primary dr the next day and had to deal with the pain of them pulling the staples out as they said a wound like this has to heal from the inside out. I wouldn't even want to go here if it was my last option. It hasn't gotten any better from what others have said. read more

Effingham county hospital emergency room day shift employees are very rude and disrespectful! I would not recommend anyone to go up there during the day. They are more concerned about their personal lives than they are about their patients. They don't check on their patients and when you ask questions their response is "what do you want us to do". We want you to do your job and help the patients that show up in the emergency room! Get them what the hell they need, when they need it! Not when it is convenient for you! I had to give one star but they don't deserve that! read more

A nice community hospital! I was taken to the OR on a dark rainy night. The ambulance crew was met at the bay by the hospital's staff. The ER was bright and staffed by polite, courteous people who took me to a room immediately. No waiting in a hallway by myself. The bourses were helpful and respectful, nevermind my in rushed hair and half-delusionary state. Each step of my stay that lasted several hours and several tests, I was treated well. The staff was very professional and friendly. If I have to go to a hospital again, Effingham will be at the top of my list. read more

The only good part about the ER is the nurses! In the last two years we have had to take our son there for services. Both times, the doctors bedside manner was nonexistent with the first doctor actually stating that he believed my son was faking his symptoms only to find out that he required brain surgery. Also, apparently the MRI function at the hospital is not for ER use. read more

On 12/27/2019, I called my insurance company to speak to a nurse regarding the severity of my migraine. We went over my history and she recommended that i go to ER because urgent care does the Toradol cocktail and that doesn't entirely work once i am on day 3 of the migraine, all it does is relieve the immediate pressure for about an hour. Demerol and Compazine or Reglan relieve the pressure and allow me to sleep so that my brain can reset. I went to Effingham ER and Dr Marshall didn't discuss anything with me, he just sent the nurse with Toradol, Reglan and Benadryl . I explained to her that this won't work because i am already on day 3. She told me oh well and walked out of the room. After about 30 minutes my daughter in law went to ask for some water for me, that way at least i could take my migraine medication (Tramadol) instead of laying in a hospital and suffering. They told my daughter in law that there was noone in Room 10 she told them i was there and the nurse said ok. My daughter in law came back and we waited another 30 minutes and the doctor came in and YELLED AT ME. Dr Marshall stated "You are being ridiculous and stupid, just take what i gave you and get over it" I started to cry and asked why he was yelling at me and being rude and he walked out of the room. At that point i became scared of what was next and i removed my IV and went to the front desk to complain. They refused to give me AMA paperwork, they provided no services to me and they made my medical condition worse. I called my insurance company and they recommended that i file a police report because they could here how the nurses were talking to me and they were taken aback by the poor treatment i was receiving. In all my years, i have never been treated so poorly by a medical professional. I called Springfield police per the recommendation and the threatening posture from the security guard. When the police officer arrived, i began to tell him what happened and got bombarded by the nurses and security. I asked the officer if we could discuss in private, since this is personal information and the security guard is not my doctor and the office said no. I said i am uncomfortable with the audience, the officer just kept saying "How can i help you", i said i would like to discuss in privacy and he raised his voice and said "How can i help you". I said i feel like i am being cornered and i feel threatened, in a more assertive tone he stated "how can i help you", i stated you can speak to me in private, he stated "that's not going to happen". I told him have a good day and i walked away bawling my eyes out. I called the police station to talk to a supervisor, but guess what, he is the only officer on duty this weekend. I am disgusted by this treatment and i would NEVER recommend Effingham emergency to anyone. I am going to head to St Joseph Candler emergency now. I went to urgent care in RIncon immediately after the incident and i received a shot of toradol around 1:30 pm, and it's 2:22 pm and my migraine is already coming back. read more

This hospital treats people horribly. I was brought in via ambulance after a car accident with severe neck and upper back compression pain. I had to move myself for the x-rays and scans which was excruciating. and when the Drs decided the scans were clear they literally - and painfully TORE the neck brace off of me and told me to GET OUT! And made me walk myself out. My car was totaled, I was t-boned at high speed and when the side airbag deployed it hit me on the top of my head! That is not a light thing. I wasn't just bumped with a little whip-lash. I was polite, calm, and quiet. I never asked for meds (I don't take narcotics anyway) -so I wasn't being a problem. I'm grateful my scans were clear but that doesn't mean I wasn't hurt. How do they just kick someone out like that? I will never go back to this hospital. If you need to go to a hospital go somewhere else. read more
