Husband had a small ear surgery in January 15, 2025 which went well but postoperatively has severe dizziness and vomiting. This is a common problem postoperatively and easily managed with iv medication. The anesthesiologist, Dr Dougherty, who is considered as the responsible physician, kept giving him oral medication which my husband promptly threw up. I spoke to him directly( I am a dentist) and explained the need for iv med but he told me they had given him some at the time of surgery ( 8:30 am and it was past 1 pm by then) and had NOTHING ELSE at the facility to give him. The nurse Jackie, came over and told me that I should take him home as he is and let him sleep it off. When I asked her if she thought my husband was stable enough to go home, she started lecturing me. Instead of speaking to me, she started speaking at me asking me if I wanted to take him to ER to which I replied that I didn't but wanted my husband to be not severely dizzy and stop vomiting. By this time, it was almost 2 pm( they close at 3pm) She started telling me that if they send us to ER, it would be a long wait and he could get more sick. I told her that it sounded more like a threat dissuading us from going to ER than caring for the patient's needs. Never did I raise my voice but spoke very logically and the nurses Erin, Ryan and Amanda are witnesses to my encounter with Jackie which was extremely terribly unprofessional- this is coming from a medical professional. Paula, the head nurse came in and actually listened. I asked her to call the surgeon who performed the surgery because I had absolutely no confidence in Dr Dougherty. She called the surgeon who immediately advised Valium IV and my husband improved. By then the ambulance had been called and we ended up in Christiana care emergency. Just the Valium IV was the only needed thing. Once on emx, they wanted to do a CT to rule out something else. I knew that he was okay but didn't want to sign him out without Dr's approval. Simple surgery and we ended up in Emergency. Spend time, money and emotional trauma and exposure to all the stuff in emergency just because the practitioner didn't have the common sense to give a parental medication instead of oral to a patient who was vomiting continuously!! My husband and I have had procedures at other surgical centers in Delaware but never had such an experience. Very strongly urge everyone to skip this center. Hi do you know if this practitioner and facility would cope with a much severe postoperative or God forbid, a life threatening emergency. We spoke to the nursing supervisor but no one had followed up with us yet read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE surgery center!!! I've had over 40 procedures that required anesthesia 20 of them were surgeries. Someone from the anesthesiology department always calls to go over my procedure and ask questions about my history. That did NOT happen at Limestone Surgery center. I called 3 separate days 4 times total and left a voice message with anesthesia and nobody returned my phone call or picked up the phone. When I spoke with the front desk and inquired about the fact that I hadn't heard from anesthesia, they told me that somebody would reach out to me. The anesthesia department called Friday morning the day before my procedure, which was on Monday and left a voicemail. When I returned the call, nobody answer the phone again, and no one called me back. The voice mail they left stated to just fill out your patient portal. Filling out a patient portal does not take the place of speaking to someone in the anesthesiology department. The day of my procedure I arrived and anesthesiologist, Dr. Randall stated that she was not going to do my procedure because I have one vein and drug allergies. She kept saying she was very experienced and knew what she was doing. However, this is the only location that I've ever had an issue with the anesthesiology department. I've never had any surgery center cancel my surgery, ever! This woman refused to do my surgery. She said she was uncomfortable putting me under. But she kept repeating how experienced she was. She said we don't know anything about you, but they had the information from my doctor when I arrived. I told her that someone from her department should've returned my phone call if they had any other questions. I wouldn't have a surgery there, even if it was free!! I ended up having my surgery at Christiana surgery center which was excellent! read more

Had my endoscopy there yesterday. Staff and Doctors were friendly but they really rush you out of there. You pay to go to a place like this because you want a high level of care. I was just awakening from my anesthesia and they were calling my husband to come in and collect me! I couldn't speak yet to advocate for myself. They also seemed quiet frustrated when my husband didn't immediately pick up the phone because he was driving already on his way. I really wanted to stay an hour or two after the procedure to ensure I was feeling ok. I have a toddler at home and it's hard to rest there. But no such option was allowed. I was still so dizzy when I left they had to take me out to the car in a wheel chair! Also the communication from the center is lacking. Someone did call me a week prior to the surgery (when I was out getting groceries) and listed off what seemed to be 100 instructions. I assumed they would follow up with another call or a written letter clarifying what to do but I got nothing. The day before surgery I went on their website - no details were listed there. I called and left a message but no-one called me back. read more

Great place they helped me when I broke my elbow or actually told me to go to Christiana Hospital.
