Also, the staff at the outpatient pharmacies are fantastic! Very clean and safe, despite the chaos in the ED sometimes. Love the healing garden near the Healthplex. Highly recommend this hospital, outpatient pharmacies and outpatient practices for all services.

3 Aspects Reviewed: - Surgery experience…read more- ER - MRI Surgery went well AFAIK, and I am pleased with the surgeon's work, which is probably most important. 1. Found a rubber glove in my underwear after leaving - germs were probably my germs, but "Ick!" - Jennifer? 2. Had a bruised/fat lip for three days since the intubation - maybe this isn't uncommon, but it doesn't seem necessary either.  CRNA Pete said, "This isn't my first rodeo," but maybe he's not the best at rodeo.... 3. Had a sore lower right jaw - this went away after 24 hrs. 4. Anesthesiologist Dr. Gaber was great pre-op - good explanations (and talk about other drugs).  Dr. Coleman had stepped in for him, before he showed up - good department support.  Erica, the OR Nurse, appeared helpful.  General Surgeon Dr. Riccardi's visit pre-op was also a confidence booster for my family. 5. My PRIOR (open) hernia op at Reading Hosp had gone well EXCEPT the Post-Op Pain Mgmt meds were insufficient and they left me in severe pain over a weekend. So TWICE I emphasized for this operation the need to get going on the pain med script BEFORE the surgery, and twice it was ignored or turned down due to "Penn State Policy."  I explained to Dr. Riccardi that N---a is the only med that is effective now to my knowledge, and that insurance is slow to approve. She prescribed it only AFTER THE OP and insurance naturally denied it.  I was in no state to be fighting this at CVS or via phone. Informed of this denial by CVS, Dr. Riccardi switched to Tr--- without asking me...equally useless...so I used my 8-year-old stash - took just 3 pills.  Dr. Riccardi and Penn State Health DID NOT LISTEN and DID NOT HELP.  Poor Finish. NOTE: - Penn State Health's site reviews appear to be "carefully curated." Their agent, NRC Health, did NOT request a surgeon survey within "24 hours of the visit" as they pledged - that was only done for the PRE-OP visit, which is really NOT the critical point in this transaction.  Surgeon ratings based on Pre-Op consults are misleading. - Jennifer didn't seem interested in hearing about my Post-Op pain problems during the Post-Op phone call - just kept deflecting that it wasn't her area. Begs the question what this phone call is for(?). EMERGENCY ROOM - 2-Star Brought in a neighbor in distress due to heart - had three stents, over 80, couldn't stand. Much as others have written - Super busy ER with no real sense of urgency or communication. Eventually...hours later...got him in to a room. He survived and was referred for care, but St. Joe's ER could be better. MRI - 5-Star Have had four MRI's here over the last decade and they've been great. I was not sure that the equipment is up to the latest resolution, but it was far better than one I had done in Exeter and the machines are equivalent to those at Hershey MC which seems up to snuff. The techs there were helpful and provided CD's for next day review by doctors when necessary.

I went to this rehab a few years ago and now my husband is in there as of today. I was in a few…read moreweeks after a 12 hour surgery on my back and I loved the place! The nurses were so nice and very friendly. I also thought the same of the doctors there too. So when my husband said he was going there I told him that it's great there. My husband is there for a totally different illness. We almost lost him due to a C.O.P.D. Exasperation. He was in ICU for 2 weeks and thanks to the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Reading Hospital he is here with us. So I know they will do what is good for him and send him home to us good as new.

I spent a month in Reading Health System and the Post Acute Rehab unit; almost three weeks in…read moreRehab. I had a massive cerebellar stroke. It wasn't recognized by the ambulance crew or the ER. Only the CT scan revealed the extent of my atypical stroke. The doctors pumped 3% saline directly to the site of the infarction for 10 days. Not .3%... 3%. The marvelous Rehab therapists are the best; the acute care doctor that treated me is pretty great too. Therapists have a continuous stream of pitiful stroke patients... but manage to make every patient feel like they are the first stroke patient that they have ever treated. Thousands of people have been in Rehab before me, many with more knowledge about the methods and value of therapy than I will ever have... but the therapists never let on. God bless them. Without their persistent encouragement I wouldn't be typing this, walking to the kitchen for a drink of water and sitting in the bath tub like a Christian to take a bath. Without the antiedema therapy I'd have a hole in the back of my head or I'd be gone.
