Southern Ohio Medical Center Reviews ( 99 )

  1. They dont really help with pain…and they love to send you for the same tests expecting different results…the drs dont listen to their patients…

  2. My mother who just passed was in somc for weeks first they wouldn’t give her anything for pain that she had been taken took away her sleeping pills she had been prescribed and we had to stay around the clock so she could go to the bathroom …

  3. Hands down worst hospital in the tri state. Went in to see a doctor for chest pains and was turned away at the door and told to go to the tent for a covid test.

  4. This is where I go if I am ever forced to go to the E.R…. Yes I said forced because that’s what it takes before I’ll go. And S.O.M..C is the ones I trust. Thank you somc .

  5. This place had the most incompetent and uncaring staff I have ever seen let alone rude with a doctor that had horrible bedside manners (Dr. Entwiller) I wouldnt ever go back to this trashy hospital needless to say we signed ourself out!!

  6. Amazing caring nurses, they treated me very well and did an amazing job they need much more appreciation then they get. Definitely recommend going here they will take great care of you.

  7. My grandma almost got robbed during a stay there, and they told me I needed abdominal surgery with hardly any details about it and mostly just focused on rushing me out of there. They weren’t even busy.

  8. I was in a car wreck and they sent me home. Three hours later they called said they thought they seen something and they were sending a squad after me. Well after being transferred to Somc again they took me to Grant Trauma Center and had …

  9. one of my home care patients received care at somc today for a procedure. they were returned to their home with fecal matter contaminating their sterile dressing. the patient is paralyzed. not only were they sent home with dirty dressings, …

  10. I Just had open heart surgery 6 weeks ago everything went as planned and now starting cardiac rehab all the Dr.’s and and nurses work well together and give excellent care!

  11. Rude staff, i had to explain what to do to the nurses. I could write a book of all the bad experiences people have had there.. and the nurses steal stuff from your room

  12. I have to say SOMC qualifies for 5 stars. The staff is professional and extremely nice and compassionate.
    The physicians exhibit excellent bedside manners and are very knowledgeable …

  13. They held me 8 days before figuring out I was being given excessive doses of Lasix and told my family I was insane. The ER staff told my dtr that her 1 year old toddler with a temp of 104.3 was normal for a teething baby. Thank God I was a …

  14. If your entire department (rehabilitation) is going to place 4 separate orders for pizza delivery maybe you should tip I know all of you get paid well enough to where you should be able to afford it. If you can’t afford to tip then don’t order delivery.

  15. My mother in law stayed there for 2 days and they didnt give her medication to her every 4 hours unless she asked for it. And didnt bring her food to her unless she asked for it. They told her she could call down and order it. WTH ?! Its not a hotel. But they were super nice to her.

  16. SOMC offers excellent medical treatment for all your health needs. My husband has spent several weeks as an inpatient at SOMC. He received quality healthcare by all the doctors and nurses, even during the Covid Pandemic. His health issues …

  17. SOMC in Portsmouth Ohio is horrible. They have patients wait in their vehicle for over 3 hours, saying they don’t have a room. Patients with fevers over 102. The worst excuse for a hospital that I have ever heard of

  18. If i could give this Hospital half a star I would or none at all. The hospitality alone is shoddy.. The nurses were rude, controlling and manipulative. They do not care about what the patient desires out of their stay and treatment plans. …

  19. Took my daughter there last night we checked in at 10:30pm. She was having a very serious allergy reaction to something and was in severe stress. I can understand having people come in with more serious problems but we had to sit in waiting …

  20. I was abducted by a cop, Donald Edington and brought here against my will. Hospital staff threatened me with arrest if i didn’t let them take blood. I was treated like some criminal only without a trial, They kicked me out and left me to wander around Portsmouth lost, at the time I was unfamilar with the area.

  21. Terrible slow for no reason my fiancé got told to come here from kdmc due to the fact she’s having bad stomach pain they said appendicitides but we been here for four hours and haven’t even got a room we are still in the lobby somc if her …

  22. I feel like I’m on a cage. Give birth here only to be told you can’t walk around or go outside for fresh air. Then they tell me I’m required to use my ex husbands name on the birth certificate even though we are legally divorced and haven’t …

  23. Staff is rude, yelled at an elderly man bc he hollered to get a nurse after they gave him a non functioning call button!! I get that they’re busy but what happened to humanity and compassion??

  24. My first day in the hospital my nurse was upset with me because I would not take the Covid test. Told me if I would not take it I would be dismissed from the hospital. I told I still would not take it & they could go ahead and kick me out. …

  25. Horrible explanations of what is going on. Horrible directions on where to go next. Wait times have always been ridiculous even before the pandemic. You’d think such a big hospital would have better quality. I’ve seen and been to worse but this is up there

  26. Labor & Delivery was a nightmare. I wasn’t wearing makeup (my skin appears pink without it), I was engaged and NOT married plus I have caresource so I was treated like a drug-addict, literally. Shame on Alison Hamilton, MD and Deve Koenig, …

  27. I just took my daughter there she had a fever of 104.8 for a while and I couldn’t get it to break, took her there they said they wouldn’t see her bc they had 25 people ahead and it would be a 4/5 hour wait. That’s so disturbing considering …

  28. This is a really sound choice for Emergency situations! From a tumble off the 4th step of a wet porch at the beginning of October, they made sure nothing was seriously injured before sending me on my way! …

  29. I had same day surgery done and the staff at the desk were very caring and helpful. The staff in the operating room, the recovery room and wherever they took me after recovery was very very nice, helpful and caring as well….

  30. The receptionist shouldn’t be working in a public place and if I was her boss it would’ve been her last day. The nurse staff were great. Everyone took their good ol time and we were the only ones there. Of course there is never a real …

  31. My sister has been in and out of this hospital for two months, The4th , 5th time we spent 8 hours in the ER before they ever got to her. On the 5th trip to SOMC THEY weregoingtoadmit her again . I said we are calling your heart Doctor in …

  32. Misdiagnosed my son for 2 months with an “sinus infection” and refused to do blood work when I asked. Took him to his pediatrician, and he was diagnosed with leukemia. Just ONE horrid experience here. Now they’re cutting mental health …

  33. Maternity is horrible has to be some of the rudest women I’ve ever met. A few exceptions but the way they treat the patients and babies absolutely horrible. They like to set at a desk instead of do their job.

  34. They was helping no one my fiancé waited 6 hours for nothing. Had people laying in hospital bed in the hallway. Hospitals and nurses need to do their jobs and stop having get together in the back. The point is to help people not to watch …

  35. I have never had a bad experience here, I live a county away and the closest hospital to me is Adena which is a whole lot worse. They turn people away more and admit them but then find nothing wrong. SOMC is great. I only go to Adena for my …

  36. Since when is it ok to have no medical staff or receptionist in the ER? It’s bad when the security guard has to radio for people to come help and there were at least 6-8 people waiting at the desk, 2 people appeared to need urgent medical …

  37. I went to er with worst stomach pain I had ever felt. I was close to passing out but the er left me waiting in waiting room for nearly 2 hours. It turns out I had Acute gangrene appendicitis with sepsis. Then instead of taking me to surgery …

  38. So far the nursing staff has been excellent. I am speaking of the ones in maternity. Very kind and they really are doing their best to make our experience as good as possible. They really listen and they aren’t pushy. But let me talk about …

  39. We was in a car wreck Saturday night and while we all was taken care of..I do have 1 issue with the hospital when you take people blood pressure please don’t let the cuff get to tight on people’s arms..they let it get to tight on my arm and now I have a bruise on my arm

  40. This hospital urgent care refused to test my open wound for MRSA. They called it a blister. I am sure I have MRSA in this wound. I am a nurse. I need cultured in order to properly prescribe for me. I could be spreading MRSA everywhere I go. …

  41. Doesn’t have the option to give zero stars or 1 would just because of the Emergency Room! I Have been in the ER for over 8 hours now and only been in triage with no blood work or anything of the sort to get me closer to leaving I understand …

  42. Some of their nurses are very rude, and with me having a hearing problem and they have to wear masks. I can’t understand what they are saying without me seeing their lips.

  43. I had a lumpectomy to at SOMC Portsmouth today. The staff, nurses, anesthesiologist and mostly Jordan Thiel are by far my best experience in out patient surgery! Thank you to all who smiled and took their time to listen to my anxious ramblings! All of you are true angels on earth!

  44. My wife had a colonoscopy, when the nurse came in to draw blood, my wife said no one ever has any luck taking it out of top of her hand, she didn’t listen and stuck her anyway she blowed her vein and then went and got vein finder, she said tell them your valve in top of her won’t open never heard of such b.s

  45. I’m in room 3424. I’ve been here 4 around 7 days. My room has never been cleaned. I have not gotten clean sheets,there is no shower in my room. The toilet is extremely low to ground to were I can not use it.they Jack with your medicine.ive …

  46. My 13 year old has mental health illness, has been in psych hospitals for restabilization several times. Dr. Jesse entwistle in the ER treated my daughter after she put a knife to her throat and pulled it on another kid while she was in a …

  47. I went in to see if they could help with my Endometriosis in anyway and the doctor just pretty much scammed me for all of my money and did the most useless tests and literally said “yep you have Endometriosis.” Then have the audacity to …

  48. This hospital let my aunt sit for hours and hours without checking her until her baby was literally falling out of her. They checked her at 8AM and then didn’t check her again until her head was out around 5PM after my aunt complained of pressure and had asked to be checked multiple times. They acted annoyed and like she was a burden.

  49. We always have good experience here. The wait can be long in the Er. The nurses are always kind and patient especially with my older grandma. She broke out in a rash there and the nurses did research trying to find out what it was. The food is expensive so if we’re going to stay there we bring food with us.

  50. I had been to the Emergency Room @SOMC before my experience today. The service was what I expected.
    I had to go to have an EMG test done. The staff was very empathetic and nice. …

  51. Had to take my child here because it’s the only hospital close that was capable of taking care of the situation. Stayed here for 2 days the room they put her in was dirty. The floors were sticky finally early the next morning they mopped …
