My friend went to Prisma at Greer for a 1-hr procedure. We ended up waiting at least 2hrs before they ever called her back for her procedure. Other patients also waited extreme amounts of time. My friend is diabetic and hadn't eaten all day. What is wrong with a hospital that runs so ineffectively and off schedule like that? It's disgusting that health care is so outrageously expensive and yet these medical centers and doctors could care less about our time! I dont think this is good patient care! It's discourteous and rude!!! Something has to change! read more

The Best! The Best! The Best! Visiting my friend who turned 40yrs old and was told she would need a new hip, I packed up her three kids, all under the age of 10, and headed to Greer! The modern hospital is located close to I-85, plenty of parking in its open lots. The hospital purposely keeps a low staff to patient ratio so that every patient gets well deserved attention for speedy recovery! The patient rooms are large and accommodating, with VIP rooms available on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. Each patient room has a TV, couch, recliners, and chairs available for visitors and family. There is plenty of wall cabinets and drawer storage. The hallways are wide, the building well-lit, and the lobby spacious. There is a cafeteria on the bottom floor that offers a buffet line as well as packaged foods for guests. Food can either be eaten there or can be taken back to the patient rooms. While visiting, I had a chance to experience the friendliest of staff treatment from all who entered into our room. Every hospital staff person politely introduced themselves upon entering the room, greeting each family member with a hand shake or hug. Although they may have entered the room with a goal in mind, this never stopped them from taking time out to say kind words to all of us before returning to their task at hand. The staff never seemed to act in a harried or rushed manner. They smiled all the time, giving the sense of complete relaxation. This kind of attitude help to keep everyone in a calm and stress-free mood. All in all, I would highly recommend the Greer Memorial Hospital as a wonderful place to recooperate. No matter what the reasons where that brought you in, you will be glad that you were there! read more

I fainted at the Ingles Maket in Greer. Since I had bumped my head, it was decided that I should go to the ER. Ambulance too me to Greer Memorial. After 2 hours, and NOT being seen by even a janitor. I walked out and said a few choice words. People should AVOID GREER MEMORIAL E.R. I have had one procedure there and for that I have no complaints. But next time I need an ER, I will just go home and make the best of it. PRAYER IS BETTER THAN THE ER AT GREER MEMORIAL!!! read more

I wouldn't risk my health on this place. It seems poorly managed, understaffed and good luck even getting a pillow for your head after being there for 8 hours and barely seen the doctor after 4 hours, 7 of those sitting mostly alone in a sloppily cleaned room with wet mop bucket water over all of the chairs. You can tell it's a "job" to some of these nurses and not a passion to help. They did of course help with the pain and didn't avoid dealing with symptoms but they were so understaffed with actual doctors that we were left without even checking on us for hours at a time and tell you it's because other people are more sick. With 10/10 pain, you aren't sick enough. Multiple staff had bad attitudes and you can tell it's an issue from lack of concern about being disciplined when the 20 something blonde ponytail nurse has no problem chewing out the ER front desk girl when she simply asked if a room was ready for any of the 5 people sitting in ER, some for over 2.5 hours. The one exception was Jill who was incredibly sweet and considerate. I think that was her name. The other nurse admitted there are no pillows on the floor and acted like it was an inconvenience or strange request to want one. You have to lay there for hours sick with your head cocked because they don't care enough to even order pillows for their ER. That tells you all you need to know. We ended up going to St Francis Patewood which treated us with kindness and respect. We were seen almost immediately and when we did have to wait, they didn't leave us for hours. They went ahead and took blood and urine before even giving us an ER room so they could go ahead run tests. X-ray and ct scan were promptly and considerately done. The nurses were sweet and offered multiple warm blankets and a pillow was already on the bed. These are good people that want to help. We also saw 2 doctors there within 2 hours that thoroughly asked us questions, worked to help us and explained results and next steps. read more

May 19, 2022: After "prepping" all night on the potty, my wife and I were dropped off at the Greer Memorial main entrance "as instructed by the hospital staff". We approached the main desk where a middle age black woman promptly asked us why we were there. I attempted to explain that we were there for a scheduled colonoscopy, but she rudely cut me off to ask, "who was going to stay with us" . When I asked her "what do you mean?", she took on a very condescending attitude with us to say hospital policy says we need to have someone with us. We knew nothing of this "policy" and were not informed of this policy, but when we advised her of this, she became downright rude in facial expression and body language. I was stunned and told her that "I don't need this. I'll call Uber to take us home", The receptionest then called security? (Really??), but my wife once again tried to explain to her that the "Policy" never notified the patients (us). . The woman simply cut us off and sent us to a second floor receptionist where another lady told us the same thing. We explained that their "policy" was flawed in that it needed to include notifying the patient of such policy. . After some polite haggling, we were finally "granted" admittance but I believe I now have my own "policy" to use extreme caution when dealing with this arrogant institution. I have no doubt that this institution follows the plan: WE MAKE THE RULES, WE MAKE THE MONEY; THUS, WE MAKE THE MONEY, WE MAKE THE RULES. read more

I was transported from our local hospital to here by EMS . I was admitted to ICU and don't recall the first 48 hours at all. My family however was treated very well and kept informed. Once I awoke they were awesome to me as well. The hospital is beautiful and the ICU has great caring staff . read more

The Greenville county detention center has better TVs and beds for their guests. I expect much more for $10,000 a night. I'm not complaining about the hospital bed (my wife had surgery). Rather the nasty, uncomfortable "couch" I slept on for 3 nights. Nurse Tara was very helpful and friendly, besides that I have nothing positive to say about this place. Eat healthy and exercise, try to avoid these ghastly places! read more

I'm a Columbia native, but found myself at Greer Memorial to have a hernia repair surgery. Due to an accident, I've spent way more time in a hospital than anyone should, and I must say Greer Memorial is the nicest hoppital I've spent time in. My surgeon is a specialist and was great, but the hospital staff was just amazing. Super nice, and attentive to my needs. Brought coffee and a paper in the morning. Quick to answer a call. CLEAN. I'd recomend this hospital for any elective in patient surgery. read more

I was at work in Greer and was short of breath made my first trip to Greer Memorial. This hospital is on its game. I'm from New York and wasn't impressed with Spartanburg Regional or Mary Black. Greer Memorial showed me that there is a great er in the area. I was diagnosed with two blood clot. One in my lung and one in my leg. I've had them in the past so I knew the routine. Shot of lovenox and blood thinners. Only now it will be for the rest of my life. I was in and out in two hours after having a cat scan, ultrasound, and X-ray. Thank you to the professional and caring staff. Dr Gregg, nurses Ashley, Mike and Travis and to the technicians that did the tests thank you so much. You folks are the best. read more

I went to the ER at 9:30/10 ish and didn't get an IV until like 12:30 and the nurse that was trying to give me an IV messed up twice and they had to get another nurse to come and give me one. On top of that, my arm from one of the failed IV attempts immediately bruised and is still bruised and aches and the pictured attached is my arm after that IvI didn't even meet my primary nurse until after that. For the most part, the nurses were friendly but everything was so slow. I found out I have a spleen infection and a kidney infection but they failed to mention about some sort of fluid that was built up in my ovaries. I had to go to my regular doctor to talk to them because they didn't even give me antibiotics when I left the ER and was informed the fluid was from a ruptured ovarian cyst. So overall, a few of the nurses were nice and did do the best that they could but I felt as if the doctor wasn't too concerned due to the fact he didn't even prescribe antibiotics when I definitely needed them because of my kidney infection and spleen infection; he also failed to mention that the pain I felt to begin with was from a ruptured ovarian cyst. read more

I think, for the most part, the hospital is okay. But if you are seen in the ER beware that anything you say will be used against you. I came in because I was between GP's and having a difficult time. I wanted to get back on an anti-depressant but couldn't be seen for over a week. I looked to these people for help. Instead, they shanghaied me at 3:00 in the morning and took me to a mental hospital! I never, ever said anything about harming myself or anyone else! But because I made the mistake of answering the social workers question about owning a firearm honestly this is what I got! The people at the mental facility agreed that I did not need to be there. Yet, I was there for a week! 72 hour hold and additional time over a weekend simply because a doctor failed to sign paperwork on time! This ordeal brought on a whole lot more stress and anxiety than I ever had previous! A friend of mine fell from a ladder recently and thought he had broken an ankle. He went to the Greer ER. While he was there they asked him several times if he had any thoughts of harming himself or others. He said he found this extremely out of line and intrusive and thought of me and what I had gone through. I believe this a serious problem and will be seeking help to correct it. Depriving one of their liberty, their freedom, is a very serious thing and should never be taken lightly! read more

The hospital staff has been great!! I took my mother to the ER and the ER doctor actually did a CT Abdomen and found the reason for her sickness. Unfortunately it was cancer, but if that ER doctor hadn't done that scan I am unsure of when we have discovered it. Also the time she has been in this hospital since the entire staff from the doctor's down to the CNA's have been fabulous. I can't say enough good about this facility. read more

My third visit today, 5/30/19 was totally unimaginable for person seeking comfort and physical well being. First there was no direction when listening to phone messages. All I need was to get lab work required by my physician. Got someone on the phone at GHS Greer Cancer office. Mean person on the other line. Today, there were THREE elderly standing and waiting by the reception desk. Finally after 16 minutes the lady receptionist came and sat by her desk. Didn't say anything but continued punching her keyboard, while trying carefully not to mess up her NEWLY polish nails. She must have been doing her nails at the back for sometime. She did not even look at me when I asked where to go to register for my lab work. Her answer was "go to the next building" The receptionist at the Greer hospital was not welcoming either. A robot would have been better. This was like the old DMV place. Unlike the .MD 360 on Buncombe road, everyone has a BIG SMILE and WELCOMING. These staff members are a DISGRACE to GHS. read more

I am in my 30s and have never been to a hospital before as a patient. I became too ill at work around 11pm to stay and wasn't sure I would be able to drive myself to an urgent care by the next morning (thinking I had strep) so I went to the nearby hospital Greer Memorial. The Triage nurse asked for my name and birthdate; after I'd been checked in I checked my wristband and saw I'd been checked in as the wrong patient. I went back to the registration desk and re-checked in but that seems like a lawsuit potential in itself. I asked what the payment would be beforehand and was told whatever my Blue Cross emergency insurance copayment was ($100). After being seen 4 hours later, the registration lady who took my billing info also confirmed the payment for the day should be the copay of $100 (otherwise I would have risked it and left). After finding it was a virus with nothing to be done but rest, my bill came to $813.08 *after* insurance adjustments and I was mortified. I called to complain after I was told twice my payment would be just the copay, but it didn't do any good ("There's no way for us to know how much you'll be charged and whatever it comes out to is your responsibility to pay"). They claimed there was no way the billing agent could have quoted me any price beforehand even though I was adamant to know how much I was paying before being seen. This is a bigger symptom of the perpetual health insurance/hospital scam infesting our country today, but my first personal experience with it - things have got to change with these ridiculous hospital prices being passed on to insurance companies being passed on to the consumer. So I'm donating $813.08 in convenient monthly installments to the Greenville Health System which compared to many people isn't catastrophic, but still a lot of money for what turned out to be nothing any help could be given for. I will say the physician and nurses in the ER were very nice and compassionate. If you go be sure to check your wristband that you're the right patient - should I ever need a hospital in the future I'll do whatever it takes to make it to St. Francis. read more

Horrible experience , right from the door. Automatic treat you like a drug addic the second you walk in with pain. My jaw is fractured from my wisdom tooth impacted pushing on a root canal I had done . The pain was the most intense pain I have ever felt and my jaw started locking up. They gave me 3 shots a anti inflammatory , muscled relaxer and pretty much liquid aspirin. The pain never subsided and countless pleas for something to help and the Doctor walks out and suggests a cat scan. I get the cat scan and was brought back to my room . The doctor never came back to discuss the cat scan or treatment or further assistance for my pain. A finance lady walked in asking for insurance cards and info. Note I have no insurance . 3 hours later someone comes in not a doctor or nurse and hands me discharge papers . So where's the doctor or a nurse that's it I get no information or further assistance or any kind of information. No your ready to go your discharged . So I of course mention why no doctor or nurse has come to see me and discuss my condition. Ohh we will get the doctor , 30 minutes later. Start to walk out and the doctor is playing solitaire at his desk and Doesn't acknowledge me at all. I said well guess I'll go to a different hospital to get the proper treatment and information . Still nothing so o went to Pelham medical center and received the proper medication and information I needed , so I'm thinking maybe because I have no insurance Greer medical ia too good for they non insured , well I don't know but needless to say I'm very disappointed a do hope someone in charge sees this review and will contact me because I will be contacting news outlets a da lawyer for denial of service ! read more

Worst Hospital stay ever! I hate, the way patients are disregarded. 10 yrs ago I went through four months of misery, from nausea and vomiting regularly. I looked to the medical community for, help. I went through months of out- patient testing up to, and including the State Medical University. They ruled out, Crohn's Disease and diagnosed it, as Post Infectious IBS. I change my diet and lifestyle and I don't have any uncontrolled (flair ups) if you will. Now, the Dr. that done most of the previous tests was at a location 4 hours away, so follow up wasnt important, since I was better. I did have emergency surgery a few yrs ago for a Mallory Wise Tear, which is a tear in the esophagus. That Dr. was the on call when I went in this time. Now of course I have seen him, in office for follow ups after surgery. He does have, or at least have permission to access all of my previous GI records. So, when admitting me for abdominal pain this time. To make sure it's nothing serious, I agree, I was in pain. After two days of being there, I am in much less pain and, that I am ready to go home. Now this whole time, I had bowel movements and was constantly passing gas. They would not up my diet to see if I could handle it, they would schedule another test, to (wait and see). They ran up 6 days in the hospital in bills on me and the lost days at work, since they just wanted to wait and see. I finally got so tired and their blatant disregard for what I was telling them about my history that I had to release myself against medical advice. How much is too much? How, can they hold you hostage, against what you tell them? Now, I do have a history with all different Dr's from all over the country since, I am a disabled veteran. I served 8 yrs and have dealt with the VA for 15 years. That being said this was the absolute worst hospital care I have experienced in 40 yrs. read more
