Had to call three times on day before to get exact time, though promised to be informed by 5. Was told 11am - happened at ~2pm. Prep went well, competent staff. Anesthesioloist thorough and knowledgeable. Surgery went well. Regardless, I was very anxious and in alotta pain. As predicted, two days in recovery/stabilization. I am/was an easy patient with no major complications. Regardless, excellent staff, attentive, caring, pleasant to me and my visitors. Shout out to Elizabeth and James, the head nurses on day and night shifts in the 6th floor ortho wing. Release evaluations were complete and focused. Great experience for what I needed to endure. 2-4 month recovery underway. A difficult process made tolerable by the staff! Jim

Although it looks like a small town hospital, it is very up to date with the latest technology. My…read morewife came in for knee surgery and we were treated very well by the staff. The nurses and doctor were very friendly and professional. The front desk clerk seemd a little busy and overwhelmed at all that was going on. She just kind of rushed us on out of the way. They are super busy first thing in the morning. They offered coffee and drinks for me at the nurses station while I waited and sat with my spouse. Overall it was a good experience and we would use them again.

the chowan hospital is the reason why they did not know about the broken hip for 3 months. we had…read morebeen to chowan for 4 visits with him complaining about his leg hurting and they would not do any xrays of his leg. they were great for checking to see if he was having any issues with his heart. that was not his problem at these times. on december 21st i told the doctor that it was his leg not his heart that was the problem and she had xrays done and found out that it was a broken hip and they sent him back to greenville to the cancer center and they were great with him even though he had cancer, which was the reason for his broken hip. it just pains me that he went 3 months with this broken hip and in so much pain that he was crawling around on the floor to get from room to room. until i finally had enough of seeing him like this. he passed away on jan 22nd. sorry for the long review.

The first time wasn't the best and I felt he waited way to long for a child who couldn't breath. BUT the other day I went back because he was in severe distress and was so bad he couldn't talk because he was catching his breath! I have to say the staff on that day was great! I wanted to thank the doctor, nurse, tech, and respiratory specialists! Thank you and thank GOD it all worked out and he's doing much better now! Keep up the good work and don't let anyone tell you small town hospitals are worse then big city hospitals! :)

Thieves - my doctor sent a blood test to them to be "read" and I received a $6000 bill of which I…read morewas responsible for $1200 - tried appealing to insurance, Dr, and Washington County Hospital - after 5 months worked out payments with them. What a hassle and ripoff $6000 for a blood test you can get at quest for $300 - no wonder everyone is upset with healthcare - almost seems like a conspiracy when the DR, Hospital/ sham and insurance company don't see anything wrong with $6000 for a simple blood test no wonder health care is a mess.

As with any non-urgent walk-in ER visit, there is a lot of time waiting to go from task A to task B, etc. Once I was taken to the exam area, the nurses and doctors did well in addressing my situation. While there was more waiting time, they did a good job of checking in on me and giving a good assessment of my injuries. I also appreciate the follow-up phone call a couple of days later.

Possible the one that can make the scenario worst, would be if you were 9 hours away. Well it was very pleasing to find that while Vidant Beaufort Hospital has traditional visiting hours, they allow visitors at any time. Great news after a very long trip to get there. You may visit after hours as long as you enter via the Emergency room. Besides allowing unrestricted access the staff was pleasant, comforting and allowed everyone to be at ease by offering peace of mind. All helpful details for an unpleasant situation.

The did not explain to him what they needed to do, so he was not understanding what they wanted and started to fight them off, he was scared. So they restrained him hands and feet.

People in emergency rooms had to wait SEVERAL HOURS OR MORE to be seen. This hospital is a joke.
