am writing to express my frustration with my experience today at your Lynn lab locations (280 and…read more279 Union St). I initially came to 280 Union St for lab work, where I was informed that the lab technician had called out sick and was directed to go across the street to 279 Union St. Upon arriving there, I found a large number of patients waiting. A supervisor then told me to return to 280 Union St, assuring me that the lab technician would be coming. I followed those instructions and returned to 280 Union St, where I waited for over an hour. Unfortunately, no lab technician ever arrived, and I received inconsistent and conflicting information from staff. In total, I wasted approximately 1.5 hours of my time and ultimately had to leave without completing my lab work. This level of disorganization and lack of clear communication is very disappointing. I would appreciate an explanation of what happened and how you plan to prevent this from occurring in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm angry, exhausted, hungry, and just want to go home. This place is awful and possibly the worst hospital in the world, they don't care about you, just want to get your money and leave you to rot in the waiting room.

After surgery, my foot was left crooked and I developed a large open wound that was never explained to me. She put a cast over it without telling me anything. When I returned to have the cast changed and finally saw the wound, I almost fainted. No one had warned me about it, and at one point it was close to becoming necrotic. I had to stay in bed for two months because of severe swelling and fluid. Instead of receiving support, I was treated as if I was being dramatic while I was clearly in extreme pain and dealing with serious complications. I later learned that a screw had been placed directly through the middle of my joint, and I ultimately needed another surgery to try to correct the damage. To this day I am still suffering the consequences. I have difficulty walking and constant pain that now affects my legs and back. This surgery took away the active life I once had. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Dr. Lobo at all.

I was sent here against my will two days before last Christmas after being beaten, tased, and…read moreinjected with 3ccs of something brown by the Ipswich Massachusetts police. They later lied and claimed it was Ketamine, despite Ketamine being a clear solution and not brown. Since I was knocked unconscious and arrived to Beverly Hospital unconscious I received a CAT SCAN. It revealed I had basal ganglia calcifications which were deemed "insignificant" despite there being plenty of literature and case studies proving it is significant. The psychiatric nurse assigned to me, Whitney Gibson, only spoke to me on three separate occasions over a three week period. The psychiatrist assigned to me according to my medical arm band, Dr. Guprit S. Lamba, NEVER spoke to me once in the three weeks I was there despite me repeatedly asking to speak to him. My social worker, James, only spoke to me with Whitney present. Each time Whitney Gibson spoke to me she accused me of comitting a crime I didn't commit. When I refused to falsely confess to wrongdoing she would angrily storm off and then refuse to speak to me for another week. I signed a 72 hour release form when I arrived which wasn't honored. I signed a release for them to contact my prior PCP, Dr. Zhuri, and they NEVER contacted him over three weeks. I signed a release for my PCP before him, Dr. Loughran, and they never contacted him. I signed a release for my prior psychiatrist, Dr. Ramirez, and they never contacted her. The three weeks I was held there against my will I was refused the antidepressant, Lexapro, which I had been on for TWENTY years prior. They also refused the Ativan I had been taking for twenty years for anxiety and insomnia. They refused to prescribe Ambien which I have been taking for twenty years for insomnia and then staff would be mad at me for being awake at 3AM. They denied me the pain medication I had been taking for a severe C5-C6 cervical spine bulge for over four years. This caused me to go through withdrawals from multiple medications all at the same time. Whitney Gibson repeatedly insisted I take antipsychotics I had never been on previously like Zyprexa, which I then had an allergic reaction to. Then she insisted I take Invega, another antipsychotic. This was despite Parkinson's running in my family, so Dopamine Antagonists would be contraindicated and ill advised. The Invega caused me to become extremely confused and severely paranoid. Everyone on floor two, which consisted of around 20 individuals, appeared to be on one antipsychotic or another regardless if they were necessary or not. Many individuals were being given Seroquel for sleep, despite it not being a sleep aid. It is an antipsychotic which happens to be extremely sedating. Using it for sleep is an off-lable use and shouldn't be prescribed to everyone, especially if they are predisposed to Parkinson's. Whitney Gibson wrongly assumed my Biochemistry degree from UNH was a delusion, despite this being VERY easy to confirm by asking my fiancé of four years, or my parents. She also had me arrested at discharge, and tried to trick me into signing a statement that I wouldn't sue them for their treatment of me while held there for three weeks against my will. I strongly feel Bayridge should be investigated as a whole for their overuse of antipsychotics on most to all patients regardless of mental issue. Antipsychotics have been proven to cause structural changes to the brain the longer they are prescribed, and they shouldn't be prescribed for no reason, or out of laziness and a desire to sedate everyone to make them pliable and confused. Whitney Gibson and Dr. Lamba should be investigated specifically and in my opinion fired for their behavior towards me, lack of care in general, and the permanent damage they have caused me. I now have Tardive Dyskinesia and PTSD as a result of my stay there. I was also recently diagnosed with a chiari malformation of my cerebellum which I wasn't born with. It is very likely related to brain swelling and CSF build up from being knocked unconscious and tased in the back repeatedly near my spine.

I was brought into an exam room at 3:14pm and sat there for over 30minutes before being seen by anyone. No vitals during that time, no triage, no one even popped their head in to say sorry we didn't bother seeing you at the time of your appointment it'll just be a few moments. Nothing. Yeah we get it, your schedule is dictated by patients...don't book so many appointments that you disrespect the patients time by delaying their schedules too. Nurse came in, knew half of why I'm here, seemed surprised by the other half. After 45 minutes of waiting we had vitals done and a urine sample. I didn't see the provider until nearly an hour after my appointment time. They treated me for one of the two issues I presented then shuffled me out the door without even discussing the second issue. To say I'm unhappy with the speed of service would be an understatement. That said, the provider took my input into consideration and we discussed treatment for the one issue to my satisfaction. Cleanliness is a plus and the staff was friendly. I liked the efficiency of online scheduling, paperwork and checkin so that's a plus. Clearly all of the information doesn't make it through though so maybe they should look at where the information blockage is. If you have all day to wait, feel free to make an appointment and be prepared to wait a long time while getting half the treatment. If you, like me, don't have time to wait then pick a different urgent care center (I've reviewed another one in this area) where they are faster and efficient but rude and judge mental.
