i just had my shoulder replaced 3 weeks ago and can not say enough about Dr Rogers and his office…read morestaff. His med assistant Alexis bent over backwards to get me ready for surgery and she handled Medicare like a pro. Things were even more topnotch when we got there the day of my surgery. Security very kindly escorted us to the correct hallway as we got there a bit early and the front was not open yet. And the nurses in pre-op were very thorough and moved me right along. The nurse in the OR made me feel very comfortable. Once i got to the floor, the nurses were amazing as well. Once the nerve block wore off at about 2 am I turned in to a whiney brat. They very patiently worked with me to get my pain under control. The nurses were amazing in how they all worked together. And tbh eating was not high on my priority list but i knew I had to. It was quite palatable!

TLDR-They let my dad die over gross negligence…read more My dad, a veteran, visited Wellspan Chambersburg in March of 2026 after I insisted that he go in, as he exhibited all the classic signs of infection that I was concerned would progress to a bone infection (osteomyelitis). He was an uncontrolled diabetic with an A1C greater than 10, had an open wound on his foot that wouldn't heal, which was turning black, doubled in size over a few days, and he had pain that was greater than what that small wound would account for. My father's wife had also recently left him, and he wasn't taking care of himself, so he had an odor, which I believe contributed to Wellspan's ED blowing him off. When he arrived at Wellspan, they did an X-ray of his foot without doing an infection workup (which is the height of incompetence, diabetic foot wound 101). They looked at the image and told him to go home because he had a broken toe (osteomyelitis presents as a fracture on X-ray; you CANNOT differentiate the two with plain film). He went home, 10 days later, he was found dead in his home, with a completely black and necrotic toe. Anybody want to guess the cause, because for some reason Wellspan couldn't figure it out. I am not local, but was able to diagnose him over the phone without having access to any further diagnostic workup. Wellspan is fortunate that I am not litigious in nature, but as an acute care nurse practitioner myself, I am astounded by Wellspan ED's failure in a basic and straightforward diagnosis that led to a man's death.

Chambersburg hospital is by far worst hospital we've been to ever...My mom has been ill all year…read moreand in need of a transplant...while waiting for transplant she has had many issues with breathing and fluid gathering around her lungs. We have had 4 visits in the last few months and every stay there has been at least one nurse with a nasty attitude . Our current stay i caught the nurse in the hallway talking to other nurses making fun of my mom. On two occasions when the nurse issues were brought up to the floor manager....the managers never apologized or acted sympathetic to the situation. I am disgusted with this hospital and the bedside manner of these nurses. I was furious to hear a nurse discuss my mom's care to people not even assigned to her

First visit: Went to their emergency room and waited 2 hours to get admitted, finally get in there…read moreand I get stuck in a hallway bed where I wait another 30 min before I see a "dr", they wheeled me down the hall 30 ft and asked me questions and then give me motherly advice and send me on my way without doing one test on me. And sent me a $1000 bill! Long story short, I went to another hospital and saw a neurologist to find out I was having multiple seizures a day! chambersburg hospital thought that I was fine though.. 2nd visit: i had lots of side effects on the anti seizure meds i was put on, so i went here for a change of meds since my neurologist was on vacation, they gave me different seizure meds and sent me on my way. 3rd visit: 5 days later i was still having the same seizure and the new seizure meds they gave me just gave me side effect and didn't help at all so i went back to the er, to possibly get different meds because my neurologist was on vacation, still. I was in the hospital for 5 hours, i finally got a room (a chair in a hall way) where i finally got to talk to a "dr" who i asked to switch my meds to something that might actually work, he did not, he said he would refer me to wellspan neurology and that he talked to a neurologist there, i was ordered to call them first thing in the morning because he gave me a referral and set up an appointment. The following day i call wellspan twice, no referral given.. i called chambersburg to see if it was still being processed, they had to call me back.. 5 hours later i get a call and they tell me that they don't do referrals. So they litterally kept me there for 5 hours and did nothing for me but lie. WORST HOSPITAL I'VE EVER BEEN TO, WORTHLESS HOSPITAL, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME HERE.
