Wait and wait and wait……..
Great place!!!
Absolutely awful
Just awful. Made cry
Nice place to put a hospital
Great ER staff once again!
They kept my parent for no reason
Didn’t take long to get blood work done
Save your time and go somewhere else. No one here and still been waiting an hour and a half
Total waste of my time I should have gone to chattanooga there’s no one in here and I’ve been here with my newborn son for over an hour this just goes on top of other past experience I’ve had at this joke they call a hospital
Didn’t do bloodwork and missed a serious potentiality life threatening condition
We have been waiting in the EMPTY waiting room for 2 hours already. No one has came or checked on us at all
ER visit = 3 hrs and nothing. Pushed us off to Chatt.
Short wait, sweet staff, wonderful doctor! Very pleased with my experience 🙂
I can’t complain. I like this hospital. They’ve always helped me.
I have always had a good visit at this hospital.sandra at the desk is so helpful …
Your employee Ron Tankersley is unprofessional and should be removed from your company. I will never deal with Rhea Medical Center again because of him.
Was most Awesome Experience @ hospital. Everyone there was so kind. They got me right in for my surgery. Would refer everybody there.
Every one I’ve met at Rhea Medical Center has been so sweet and so nice except the XRay guy very rude but other than that nice
Don’t waste your time coming here. You will be left to sit in pain and vomit until a nurse finally comes to check on you and then you wait some more. Constant wrong diagnosis given and wrong medication.
Extremely inattentive. They actually forgot they had a patient in one of the er rooms.
I did have problems here but I have way more good experiences here than bad. The staff is nice the place is clean I’ve been here many times. Some people give hospitals bad reviews because of one incident but if you go here as many times as I been it’s a good place
They where more attentive to my needs than the otger emergency rooms that i have been too for the same thing, but ontop of there game….
Souldnt even give u a 1 star this place is horried .. took my 9 month old baby that has a problem with his intestines. And this old black doctor idk his name I forgot bcz I was so mad . Gonna tell me nothing wrong with my kid bcz his belly …
My father-in-law was in the er there and we was very impressed with the staff and doctors. Dr. James Sego was very nice and explained things the way they could be understood. The nursing staff was great
We were just up at the E.R tonight with my dad…have to say not very happy with the people out front …A nurse told mom she could wait in the lobby…for news on dad…so when I come in the told the officer why I was there and he says …
My wife comes in with severe back pain at her kidney. 2 hours and 45 minutes later the Dr finally comes in with a prescription for a lidocaine patch… the pharmacies close at 8 & it is now 8:45. So relief may start coming tomorrow… waste of time.
The only reason I’m giving this place 1 star is because there’s not a “zero star” rating. They like to take their time standing around talking when people are laying in an ER room in severe pain. The doctors, nurses, and phlebotomists …
Rhea County Medical center has taken excellent care of my mother and father on numerous occasions. I cannot day enough wonderful things about the staff and their commitment to detail and excellence.
I have yet to hear from anyone that they had a good experience. Dr Swafford is the worst. Basically if you need medical help your best bet is to drive your self to erlanger. This will save your life please take this warning seriously! I …
This place is a joke, they fired half the nurses and stuff like that because nobody wants that stupid vaccine and now they have no one working they have like one doctor and one nurse doing everything, the beds are all full and it’s not with …
Very good ER department, a little slow, but entire staff was very friendly. Amory (my nurse) was very compassionate and caring. I do definitely recommend them.
Last night my husband went to the ER with a possible heart attack. He was turned away because they stated they were full. He did go to another hospital but while there another patient with a heart attack was sent away also. What a terrible place. Don’t goever!
Staff is friendly, place is clean, only thing is that they don’t have a birthing department. That means that if you’re in labor you have to go to Athens which is about 25 minutes away. Otherwise a good hospital.
This place is a joke. Wait to be seen for 4 hours, explain your reason for being there to countless employees just to be told by the doctor that they have no clue why you are there. They are very disorganized and unprofessional. You are …
I didn’t even want to give 1 star but had too i. Order to give a review. If you go to this hospital and Dr James Seigo is your Dr.LEAVE immediately! He is a paycheck Dr. that had a big practice in Cleveland,TN years ago but was arrested by …
Been here for four hours looks like be here little long waiting on a shot for hour now and 5 people standing around desk in emergency room doing nothing
Only reason it’s getting one star is because I can’t put 0 … Dr. Pollard in the ER – if you get him, RUN! Took a child to be seen after a volleyball accident, he sent her for X-rays, came back and told us there was no break. He suggested …
I went to the hospital emergency room via ambulance with a dislocated leg. Despite being cleary visible that my leg was a good inch and a half outta place . Dr Sego said “well its not broke go to a orthopedic surgeon” even after arguing …
Wife was in car accident, she calls me I’m 70 miles away. Can’t go back because of COVID. Nurse gives me update, apparently their mri machine is down. No eta. Machine is out of condenser??? …
Lets see, where should I even start with this place? I’ll start on June 12th, 2015, I was in a car accident. I won’t bore you with that part though, I was taken by an ambulance that was as bad as this hospital honestly, but that’s another …
Went in last night sept 13th fpr pain im my stomach and the night shift was very proffessional and caring…..even the dr but hats off to jessica whose the lpn on that night.She was the best nurse ive ever had in a hospital ever….She deserves a fat raise in my book.
Thanksgiving night (late) my blood pressure rose and my heart rate more than doubled. I already had a good idea what was happening but I wanted to verify my stats only. Did not want to see a doctor, did not want treatment, did not want …
This place is horrid. I’ve had bad experience after bad experience. They gave me a shot and medication for inflammation for my cyst and 2 days later my dr in cleveland had to do surgery and was irate that they gave me meds for inflammation. …
Every time I was there, for MRI’s, mammogram, and a colonoscopy, they were all nice, and respectful. I only had trouble once with a registration person was rude.
Absolutely wonderful and caring staff. I have had several years and one procedure there on the past few weeks, and everyone was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I’m so glad we have such a well staffed hospital in our county.
My two year son had an allergic reaction and they did nothing for him. I had to take him to the doctor again the next day because his feet were swelling and he couldn’t walk. His doctor finally got help for him. I also was seen that same …
I wouldn’t even give this hospital a one star. My mom went into the ER Friday night with severe stomach pain and redness on her lower stomach. The ER doctor did nothing but press on her stomach and tell her she had a hernia and that she …
My mom went into the hospital with covid and they took such good care of her. I was aloud to see her and they aloud me to drop stuff off for her. They kept me updated multiple time a day or I could call them anytime and not once did I feel …
48 hours still have not seen a Dr once but Seen 5 nurses.that where very nice. But my pain levels are not being helped don’t see anyone for hours could of sat home and suffered
If you set an appt and are 15 min late they won’t see you. But they take at least an hour or two from appt time with you sitting in waiting room around sick ppl. Also if your waiting outside they run the helicopter non stop blowing gasses around. Need negative stars. Sicker leaving than when I came in.
Hands down BEST Emergency room I’ve ever been too. Had a dirt bike accident so I visited there tonight, the nurses were all very friendly, done everything they could to make me comfortable while waiting on tests & scans to come back. Dr was great also. Would recommend to anyone & will definitely be going back in the future!
The only Hospital(Medical Center) in Rhea County. The Building is somewhat newer than I’m used to seeing and I like the location a lot more than I did before the new one was built. The building is bigger and the parking lot is much bigger …
The ER department really need to step up their game. The doctor my husband saw awhile back totally misdiagnosed him. Stated his foot was just bruised. When in fact it was broken. His surgery to repair the misdiagnosed injury cost over …
THIS PLACE WAS SO NASTY! THERE WAS USED NEEDLES LAYING AROUND, THE USED NEEDLE CONTAINER WAS OVER FLOWING AND THERE WAS NO SOAP TO WAS YOUR HANDS IN THE ROOMS. NOT EVEN A PLACE TO PUT THE SOAP.
DEFINITELY AVOID AT ALL COST!!
No bedside manners and No communication skills offered here. The hospital is just a bandaid to get you through (if your lucky) till you see a real Dr.
My son in law was sent home after a car accident with a brome jaw in 3 places. …
Dr. Eason has taken care of myself for a med reaction, and my young son for a very scary food allergy reaction.
Both times Dr. Eason, (along with other staff members) was kind, professional …
My husband had a heart attack and I took him to Rhea ER. He never sat down as the took him straight back and 3 people went right to work on him. Dr Samuel came and watched the monitor as he was hooked up, vitals taken and 2 IVs started. His …
This place is terrible. My wife came into the ER for care and was told that the doctors were a town away that it would take a while. She sat in the ER for many hours. Just sat there. No blood was drawn or any checks like blood pressure …
I’ve had good experiences and bad experiences. I’ve had 3 MRIs there, a few ultrasounds, cardiologist appts and other things. My primary care physician wanted copies of my MRIs. He faxes Medical Records for some copies. They fax him back …
If I could give no star review I would. This place has been billing me. I have left voicemails several time to tell them to file it with my insurance. This has been going on since March so I contacted the CEO in writing and amazingly got a …
Absolutely disgusted at the lack of care for my 75 yr old grandmother, nealy 20 hours in the E.R. I know EVERY ROOM in the whole region isn’t full. Their reserving for covid patients my grandmother is just important probably more she did …
Terrible treatment from front desk ladies, the older woman with blondish really curly hair was so rude and mean. I asked a question and she mumbled something when I walked away, I came back to ask what she said and she responded with ” …
I am grateful our small county has a hospital, but our recent experience here was alarming. I have a lot to say, but I will just mention the most unprofessional moment. …
Worst ER in state of Tennessee!!!!!!! All rhea county knows it!! Everyone talks about how bad it is !!!! When the ERS in other towns laugh at how bad Rhea Co. is that’s pretty bad !!!!!!
I give them 10 plus stars ⭐️ I was in the hospital for over 2 weeks with Delta V Covid Pneumonia & they took excellent care of me.
The staff was attentive, kind & friendly… …
I was waiting in the lobby for 3 hours to be checked for something serious but i didn’t I left but before I left this woman came in with chest pains I mean really severe chest pains they waited 30 minutes to get checked and as soon as she …
Hospital is a complete joke…swafford thinks he’s God gift to the medical field, the er doctors do not even help you.they have there assistants make a guess, morphine is the answer to all pain, you tell them an allergy and they do not pay …
They used to be good but yesterday February 24, 2022 we got a nurse that was rude to my 65 year old mother. She was hurting all over and he just let her fall to the floor. He refused to let my elderly father change places with my aunt so my …

I recently was a patient for 4 plus days following a stroke.Admission through ER was very well done without delay. After admission the staff on the ward was great and went out of the way to be helpful.Therapists who came in were …
The surgical department is horrible with scheduling. The evening before my procedure a lady called and stressed that I arrive an hour earlier than my original time, then the next morning as I’m sitting all cottonmouthed from fasting and …
I have to call out Edie Shaver! She is absolutely amazing, kind, professional and efficient! Edie works in the mammography department and is truly an asset to Rhea Medical Center!
The worst medical center ever!!! Went to ER with excruciating gallbladder pain, got put in a room for over 4 hours and no nurse, no doctor, nothing for the pain! No one even can to check on me. Bathrooms are filthy, pee on the floor, …
If I could give zero starts I would. I took my wife to the ER last week due to severe abdominal pain. To the point where she could hardly stand up. They did us back really quick. However, Dr. Kessler (I think that was her name), came in and …
I went to this hospital expecting to find out I had kidney stones. Instead, they found out I had two blood clots in incredibly dangerous places. They worked quickly to get me started on treatment and kept me incredibly informed about what …
