I had hip surgery today and I can't speak highly enough of the staff. From the time I came to do pre-op screening until the time surgery was complete we had a great experience. The staff was very helpful with explanations of what would be happening, they catered to my wife and I to make sure we had what we needed, and the biggest thing to me was that they constantly checked in on my wife while I was having surgery (that meant a lot to her). Even the doctor him self (Dr Lawler) checked in on my wife twice to update her. I'd say that the quality of care that I received was excellent today. So a big thank you to the staff that cared for me at Stringfellow!!! read more

I had two surgeries done by Dr. Stremmel here, and the staff are very nice. It's a very clean facility.

I came in to get a check up so I can go back to work and I've been here since 6:30ish and it is currently 11:36 PM of me making this and I still haven't left the lobby! I'm currently at risk of losing my job because my job wants a return to work form and I'm fron NC so I have to do everything over cause of me not having a Primary Care doctor here in Alabama .. highly don't recommend read more

Cleanliness is the only thing I liked in this hospital. I don't write bad reviews. But I think people should just be ready when t go i this hospital . My sister in law was in deep pain and been vommiting for 2 days. Her blood pressure was 213/113. But since the lab work came back and it's normal, they gave her some oral medication and said she's ready to go. Guess what? She's been vomiting so of course after taking the meds she vommitted it. But she's good to go so they didn't care. There was a lot more rudeness that went on but I can take that. THE INCOMPETENCE is what I cannot take. I'm not a nurse (yet. In school for it). Her family isn't a doctor but wasn't it common sense to NOT give oral meds to someone who can't take it in?! Anyway we left. Didn't have the energy to suggest or argue with people who didn't have common sense read more

Horrible hospital; waited for two hours to be seen and it was empty. Thank goodness I wasn't on deaths doorstep . If I could give it no stars I would read more

Date of service 8/20/2014. PAID 9/2014. Received MULTIPLE collection letters since that time. Last one was a week ago. I've spoken to the hospital billing department TWICE (this being third), supplied PROOF of payment TWICE. Never going to Stringfellow hospital again. read more

My wife and I was on a business trip when she experienced severe pain in her abdomen and chest. After checking online there is only two hospitals in that area and Stringfellow just barely had the better rating of the two, (3.4 stars). So I chose this hospital to take her to. Upon arriving, they seen her quickly and it didn't take them long to diagnose her condition but the ER doctor was very rude and didn't tell us ANYTHING about her options other than he stated this was a dire emergency that she had to have surgery immediately or risk dying! So, they admitted her and moved her upstairs. Then I met the Very Rude Nurse on the 3rd floor that came in to check her in. All she was interested in was simple yes and NO answers! It took me about 30 seconds to realize that she was ONLY there for her paycheck and I voiced my opinion on it! She scornfully disagreed, which just showed more of her rudeness and lack of caring for ANY patients! She didn't even believe us when we told her about our treatment in the ER, she then goes and talks to the ER doctor who in turn LIES to her and still she came back up to my wife's room to tell my wife that maybe my wife just didn't hear him or understand what he had told her! Excuse me! I was right there with her! Just more of their rudeness and deception at this hospital! All that ER doctor wanted was to mislead my wife to get her to stay and have the procedure done at that hospital probably to fulfill some quota or something! When the surgeon came in and talked with us, HE told us that this was NOT a life and death situation and that HE had recommended for the ER doctor to release my wife to go home so she could have the procedure done at home instead of 5-6 hours away! Matter of fact, the surgeon stated that since my wife had been lied to and mistreated like that, HE was going to write up the ER doctor for that! That's the ONLY good thing that I can say about this Hospital is the Surgeon, Dr. Crawford and a very kind nurse my wife had at the end of her stay, her last day that I wish I could recall her name. She was a black lady nurse from Decatur Ga. She was the BEST! Absolutely the best woman and nurse that Anyone could ever have wanted to have! Other than that, They kept us in the dark, told us VERY little, treated us as if we was beneath them and/or dumb. And, I take it that they are money hungry and will do most anything to ensure they get your money! It's a sad day when you can't trust your care givers! And, IF you can't trust them, YOU DON'T NEED THEM! JMHO Sadly, I've seen this too many times today! I truly do NOT know what this world is coming to today and I truly do NOT know why OUR Health Care System is suffering so much and why can't people do something about these ones that do NOT care about helping people! If you do not like your JOB and IF YOU WORK within the health care system where Peoples lives may DEPEND on YOU! Someone needs to FIRE you or at least HOLD you accountable for your actions or lack of when it comes to others safety at your hands! JMHO read more

Do not take your loved one hear. Especially ICU. I was there after visiting hours to bring some things to my dad in ICU. While I was there I started hearing a nurse YELL at one of the patients that's was calling for help to SHUT UP. As loud as someone would in an argument. Then another nurse jumped up doing the same thing. This patient had a tube down his throat and couldn't move. They had forgot I was there. This went on so bad that I walked out of my dads room and was staring at them. When one of the nurses saw me she came up and tried to say it was tough love. He thinks he is dying and he is not. When I told her that is unexceptable for whatever reason as they yelled over 15 times to shut up. She said oh I don't thing we said that, we said hush up. I corrected her over and over and told he I was a nurse for 15 years until I got sick. Shen then turned and walked away. I then heard her calling the doctor for meds to calm him down. This was awful and heartbreaking!!!! Never will I go back there! Unbelievable! I am reporting them. read more

After knowing this ER was very quick, I decided I had to go. Unfortunately, I had no way of knowing I'd be admitted. The first night, I had the most amazing nurse, Sharon, and a wonderful man, Steven to read me what I could expect. The next morning aliens invaded and I was left with the biggest bunch of *itches this side of the Mississippi. 2 hours late giving meds, Don't care how you feel. They look at you like you're a complete idiot and they wish they were at home sleeping. I was having a panic attack as I had no idea what was wrong with me, and had'nt seen a doctor since 9am Tuesday, and it was now 3pm Wednesday. When the nurse asked Dr. Ladipo if I could take Ativan that I HAD BEEN ORDERED, she said no, and I could check myself out if I was anxious. The nurses are garbage that have ZERO bed side manner. My saving grace was my first nurse and my Patient care girl who brought my food and took my vitals. That sweet girl should get a raise and teach those other hags why they got into nursing in the first place. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!! Not ashamed to say my name is Rebecca Guillory, admitted on 11-30, still here 12-2. Room 349. Nurse on 12-2 was Rachel who was very nice, when she was discharging me. 12-1 Can't remember that careless nurses name. 11-30 Nurse Sharon, who is an absolute angel. She pulled up a chair and talked to me like a human being, even though it was late at night. Thank God for her. Do yourself a favor, and go to RMC!!! And pray you don't get stuck with Dr. Ladipo!!! She is short, rude, and ends her curtness with "any questions". The only thing she should be diagnosing, is how to get the huge stick out of her keester!! read more
