After a sudden attack of crippling severe pain & nausea, we called for an ambulance to take mom from a local hotel we were staying in while in Huntingdon for family reunion. ER doctor was baffled so admitted her for observation. Since it was a Saturday no tests or specialists were available for 2 days! I mentioned moving her to larger hospital. They assured me it wasn't necessary. But 4 days later of watching her suffer in tortured pain, we insisted they transfer our mother to The Geisinger. They said she was probably just constipated and needed an enema. I found out later Dr Waddle made a chart note on the 3rd day that mesenteric ischemia must be considered but they still didn't move her or treat her until morning if 5th day and only because we insisted. By the time they medivaced her to The Geisinger, her small intestine was necrotic & she was practically dead. Despite emergency surgery, we had to withdraw her from life support and watch her die slowly for another week. Sixteen days of hell and my family has been devastated for all time by their bungling incompetence. It cost my Dad's sudden decline in health & he died after 18 months of horrible loneliness and grief. The drs at Geisinger told me if she had been transferred within the first 12 to 24 hrs she would probably be alive. Instead they just let her rot to death and had the audacity when I asked them to do a better job of managing her pain that "we think your mother is confused about her pain" After they told us what had caused the initial attack of severe pain, I was able to find her fatal condition in a 3 minute Google search which stated "any elderly person admitted to ER with pain disproportionate to physical findings, acute mesenteric ischemia must be considered". They killed my mother! I will never forgive their lying to us. Dogs get better treatment than my mom did. To make matters worse the floor nurse was a total witch & yelled at my 83 yr old father who had been thru a stroke and had atrial fibrillation because he laid down on the extra bed in the room. He was physically and mentally exhausted watching his wife of 62 yrs dying before his eyes in excruciating unmanaged pain which they thought was her exaggerating her condition. I hate this hospital! This was where she had been brought into this world and they were the cause of the excruciating and unnecessary sudden end to her life. I tried to get justice but drs lie and cover for each other. Stay away from here if you want to live!

Post surgery I had to stay at the hospital for 4 days while the pain and vitals were managed as well as the supplies I needed (have to have a vac on my back) arrived and post-surgical care (have to have my dressing changed 3x weekly) was set up. While at the hospital the nurses, CNAs, techs, dietitian, and staff were incredibly great!! They definitely took care of me and treated me with respect, kindness, and professionalism. Hospital visits and stays are never fun and no one likes to be there so how you're treated during a vulnerable and unpleasant time makes a huge difference!! Everyone was very thoughtful, didn't experience any disrespect nor rudeness. Yes, there are different cultures and personalities, but I was very happy with how they took care of me during this painful and uncomfortable time. Thank you all!!

Logic would dictate that a quiet night would mean a quick, attentive visit...but that pesky trauma case that arrives simultaneously can certainly kick that plan on down the road awhile. Which it did. I certainly hope the patient is doing better today, but his visit certainly taxed the ER'S staff on this night. 5 hours later, my son and I were back in the car. That said, I have no doubt to as to the quality of are we received. The receptionist and intake nurse were kind, the technician was great, and the doctor was appropriately apologetic, and did a fine assessment of my son's injury. He gave the scans I felt necessary, answered questions well, and had a good bedside manner with my 10 year old. The facility-from what I saw of it - appeared clean and fairly modern. I have no reservations in going there again, but truth be told, when I'm in the area on vacation again, I hope I don't have the privilege of visiting this fine establishment again.

The nurse in the OR made me feel very comfortable. Once i got to the floor, the nurses were amazing as well. Once the nerve block wore off at about 2 am I turned in to a whiney brat. They very patiently worked with me to get my pain under control. The nurses were amazing in how they all worked together. And tbh eating was not high on my priority list but i knew I had to.

He was an uncontrolled diabetic with an A1C greater than 10, had an open wound on his foot that wouldn't heal, which was turning black, doubled in size over a few days, and he had pain that was greater than what that small wound would account for. My father's wife had also recently left him, and he wasn't taking care of himself, so he had an odor, which I believe contributed to Wellspan's ED blowing him off. When he arrived at Wellspan, they did an X-ray of his foot without doing an infection workup (which is the height of incompetence, diabetic foot wound 101). They looked at the image and told him to go home because he had a broken toe (osteomyelitis presents as a fracture on X-ray; you CANNOT differentiate the two with plain film). He went home, 10 days later, he was found dead in his home, with a completely black and necrotic toe. Anybody want to guess the cause, because for some reason Wellspan couldn't figure it out. I am not local, but was able to diagnose him over the phone without having access to any further diagnostic workup. Wellspan is fortunate that I am not litigious in nature, but as an acute care nurse practitioner myself, I am astounded by Wellspan ED's failure in a basic and straightforward diagnosis that led to a man's death.

I have been to this hospital near 20+ times; once as a patient and 19+ as company. There have been several emergencies and several non-emergencies. Today, we were luckily assigned with a lady named Yvette in the ER and she may have been the most pleasant person I've come in contact with yet in all my visits. The wait time Is always a negative no matter where you go. It's a hospital. Would you rather it that the lab techs are faster and more careless with your labs? It would be nice if there was a round about or drop off at the ER so you could easily help disabled people into vehicles.
