  1. (Translated by Google) I went to the emergency room with my husband with chest pain for 17 hours waiting for them to attend us, patients with COVID in the room together with the others with the same or less hours waiting, what a lack of …

  2. That is the worst hospital, they alway walk around dont do nothing they don’t care the patients they rude u go there in be there for ever they always say the room is full is not true they in the hallway walk around make joke take the money for the insurance that is the worst hospital in lebanon

  3. Might as well tear this building down and build something of value like literally anything else. The nurses and doctors here are not helpful in the slightest

  4. I always manage to feel worse then when I went in, never get diagnosed correctly, the malpractice has plagued my friends and family for years, i pity anyone who needs medical attention and must go here.

  5. Went in for pain in my back told me they weren’t gonna do any x Ray’s or nothing.. just touched my side, my spine, and other side and said this and that and gave me pain meds..

  6. This hospital is a joke… Couldn’t even get my kids name right, after I told them twice and even spelled it for them.. because of this, my 7 year old son who was running a 102.7 fever WITH ibuprofen in his system, couldnt get medicine …

  7. Every time I come here I wait more than 8 hours. It took 11 hours to get a piece of popcorn out of my ear when I was young and its taking 5 hours just to get a Dr note right now.

  8. Nicest hospital ive ever been to.
    I was sick and couldnt hardly walk, talk, or function, the staff was very pollite, patiant, and more than helpful.
    Very professional, and careing.

  9. This place is a joke came in at 330 today at the emergency room cause my daughters neck and throat are swollen at 6 finnaly saw a doctor did a xray waited another hour for them to tell us that doctor was going home and it’s now 929 and …

  10. No one knew what was wrong and treated my mom for something she didnt have. Gave her morphine to numb her pain and sent her home. Unresvolved issue, when someone is loosing blood and that’s your solution ??

  11. This is a hospital that struggles in an economically depressed area. This city has four or five low income housing projects that the city advertised in New York to fill. As a result of this, and unfortunate economic decisions by the city, …

  12. Brung my daughter to the er this morning… apparently they put us in a hallway floor dirty no pillow no nothing no blanket nothing we are paying customer sitting in the hallways waiting to have my daughter check already been here an hour …

  13. Well let’s start off by saying 2020 has not been the best of years.. for anyone.. for me it was filled with surgeries.. X3.. all outpatient and each one was a really good experience.. GoodSam was effortless from the time we arrived and went …

  14. I’m servely asthmatic. The other day as I walked in to check myself in, I saw this lady trying to tell her co worker that I’m always going there for asthma. She said it like it was a problem. Now I’m not comfortable going back there. Thanks wellspan! Judgement is real!

  15. The wait is hours long. There is a person who has been here since 5:30 with very big blood pressure and never came to check on her and its now 11:26pm this hospital needs to be investigated. Its always poor service here. When is this hospital going to step up and do their job right?!!!!!

  16. Nobody ever seems to know what they’re doing here. They’ll make you wait for hours just to see you for less than 2 minutes, prep your paperwork and send you home after finding no resolution to your reason for coming in the first place. Yet they’ll bill you $1000 after not helping you.

  17. My wife was scheduled for an asthma test at their lab we called the day before to double check everything she reminded them she was on an antibiotic nothing was said she went in for the test the following day showed early and was taken due …

  18. Came into the ED emergently with an incarcerated hernia. I was seen promptly by nursing and the ED physician. General Surgery was consulted and I was taken to the OR in a timely fashion. Pleased with all levels of care especially by the ED physician and Dr. Pilkington!

  19. Got back to a private room quickly. The wait, for the Dr, was about an hour. However, Dr. Bruno was great!!!! He is down-to-earth, and has an awesome bedside manner. Listened to me, and treated me with respect.

  20. Just had triple by pass the doctor. And nurses were Awsome Chad is a Awsome doctor they helped on my road to recovery the nurses in the icu are so attentive and conpationet and caring I recommend this hospital . thanks to all of you for your help and kindness . Lester

  21. WellSpan is affiliated with “doctors” such as Joel Yeager. When you learn that he received his “education” at Kigezi International, that’s all you need to know. …

  22. My local doctor sent routine bloodwork as part of a routine yearly physical to the Good Sam hospital for processing. The hospital billed me $554 for the work! Granted Capital Blue Cross picked up 1/2 of it but now my yearly physically is costing me over $250! $554 for something so routine is absolutely ridiculous!

  23. was waiting in the waiting room for over 2 hours before telling them that the patient couldn’t breathe multiple times and took them forever to get us into a room. when we got back to our room the patient 15 minuets went by after pushing the nurse button and 4 nurses walked by after pushing the button

  24. I cannot thank everyone enough for the care and concern they showed not only my Mom, their patient, but the whole family. A hospitality cart was kept on hand. Our every question was answered with sympathy and understanding.

  25. This place is a joke! Everyone is rude and dont care about your well being. Have had my step daughter in at crisis since yesterday at 2pm and we have seen 1 doctor since and 2 nurses and they are doing nothing. They wont answer questions they wont transfer her to Hershey!…

  26. I wouldn’t even give it 1 star!!! Came in for back pain and they didn’t do anything!!! All they did was felt my back and said it was sprained… No x-ray was done no nothing!!! I even told them the history of my back with having 2 surgeries on my lower back and sever arthritis in my back!!! Never again will I come here!!!

  27. Tonight in the emergency department My mom waited for 3 hours to be treated, in those 3 hours she only saw the triage nurse, and the nurse that was assigned to her room number who only introduce himself. She went in due to serve migraine …

  28. they told me increased brain pressure and abdomen pressure and not being able to drink at all from it wasnt an emergency. how disrespectful of you to say that. i didnt come in for no reason. i understand there are patients in worse shape …

  29. My daughter fell she have a big huge bump in her head she’s only 2 years old waiting more than 3 hours and nurses up and down texting watching their phone and still no call It was better to go to hershey hospital this hospital is getting worse and worse

  30. I would not even give one star. But i had to to review. Worse experience ever with my 2 year old child. Very long story but the nurse was out of line. And asked me to take my screaming child with blood dripping down his face to take …

  31. My father was admitted in January with food poisoning from undercooking his chicken. He was 82. Good Samaritan sent him home with c-diff. He was readmitted to Good Sam for the c-diff and contracted a staph B infection. Was treated for that …

  32. Absolute worst hospital around.. I had to sit out in the parking lot while my wife miscarried our baby what a complete joke of a hospital no one is on time they move the speed of a snail. Oh and did I mention I couldn’t even be in the …

  33. This is by far the best hospital experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been here twice this week, once with my boyfriend and once with my friend for two emergencies and each time we waited less than an hour to be put into a room and seen by a doctor. Extremely clean, friendly, and hospitable.

  34. They need to make it warmer in the ER. Vasoconstiction is not good for IV access. Still I have a few good viens in my hand and forearm but the nurse decided to start the IV in the antecubital space. It was brutal and left a 7CM hematoma. …

  35. Never had to stay in the hospital before, i was expecting the worse, was admitted to intensive care shortly after arriving at the er, everyone was very professional yet down to earth. i would like to thank all involved in my for stay, the …

  36. i walked into emergency room and they asked me my issue, i explained the pains i have been having, to keep it short high fever, elevated heart rate and blood pressure of 182, they put the three together and told me that there is something …

  37. Sorry this place is run by idiots. Took over 2 days for the igo idiot doctor to order strong enough medication to make my family member comfortable. There was no reason to withhold nacotics to not give the patient comfort. The patient was …

  38. This is a good local hospital that gets a bit of a bum rap simply because it is so close to Hershey Hospital which is an excellent regional hospital. The service is a bit slow because of the cuts management has had to make to keep in their …

  39. I was in labor and delivery with my fiancé and gave birth to our beautiful daughter. I have no complaints about anything except the nasty security guard. I left twice to get my fiancé good food because she was in labor all day and couldn’t …

  40. This place should only be used as an emergency or LAST resort! If possible go to Hershey medical center! My brother in law got sent home tonight and ended up being rushed to Hershey and admitted with blood clots all throughout his legs and …

  41. Just had surgery to remove my gallbladder. Very caring and informative staff! Highly recommend! Thank you all so much for your kind professional care! God bless you all!

  42. I came into the emergency room with an obviously broken arm. They took an x ray. All they did was say “yup, its broken!” Thsts what the doctor said. Then they politely asked me to leave because they could not do a cast because I didn’t have …

  43. There should be a 0 star rating. Very very disappointed in the care of my mother. Just left the ER with my mother in severe pain due to gall bladder. We got there approx 330ish she finally got pain meds after about an hour which barely …

  44. I came into this hospital emergency room expecting a long wait. I was admitted within 5 minutes. That is 5 minutes from the time I walked up to the desk to the time the nurse was leading me into a room. The nurses, PAs , and the rest of the …

  45. I don’t even want to give this hospital a one star cause they don’t even deserve that! They are always busy and have people out in the hallways trying checked! My brother was just in tonight for a stroke that caused half of his face …

  46. Legally doctor told me they only have to check your pulse and let you go if you do not have medical insurance so yes if you thought they were good samaritans here im sorry to tell you that you came here to die. Expect a 4 hour wait time to …

  47. Absolutely criminal hospital. They expect you to pay hundreds of dollars for a simple saline drip IV. Do yourself a favor and shop around hospitals before an emergency occurs and choose one that doesn’t squeeze money out of you like this …

  48. EMERGENCY SERVICES SLOW I HAVE SHOWN UP 2 time at night and daytime for my 2 year old daughter and they haven’t checked her out at all waiting in the waiting room with no people just us and we were waiting for 2 hours. This is ridiculous. …

  49. Thanks for messing up my daughters birth certificate when I was literally the only patient on the maternity floor. Everyone just needs to sue this place get every nurse and doctors first and last name and make them go bankrupt.

  50. I went to the VA hospital on Thursday 7-6-2017 for a hearing I’ve waited for 6 years . Upon arrival knew I was having heart attack, went to their er complete joke. Transferred to good Samaritan where they found right side heart 100% …

  51. I have had several experiences with the good sam, both physicians that work for the hospital in their own practices (but do surgeries at the hospital) and the staff at the hospital itself. If you just want to go there for blood-work its …

  52. This is a hidden gem! Although the ER was full, we were updated frequently and a nurse kept evaluating me. I was very impressed by how quickly and thoroughly I was cared for and they have top notch facilities. Good Samaritan is the best small hospital within a 100 mile radius.

  53. I came in last evening to the ER for severe sunburn. Yes sunburn but it was actually to the point they consulted with Lehigh valley burn center about it. From the moment I got there everyone from registry to my nurse Mike and even the …

  54. This hospital is called the “chop shop” for a reason. The only reason anyone goes here is because it’s the only hospital in close proximity or they can’t afford anything else. This is a 3rd rate hospital at best. I went here for two …

  55. This is the worst hospital ever!! Scary!!! My mom went in & each day was getting progressively worse. Ended up getting MRSA there & had to get a PICC Line surgically put in her with antibiotics to fight it for 6 weeks. One more day there & …

  56. If I could give a 0 I would worst emergency department in history for me there wait times are ridiculous doctors seeing patients in the waiting room because there’s “no beds” but yet went in to get a CT and counted 7 empty beds go to Hershey medical trust me wayyyyy better treatment and doctors and there wait times are not 6 hours

  57. Been here since 10 with a split lip. Took 45 min for a physician to come look at me. Says I need stitches. Who knows when that’s gonna happen. I asked for a blanket 10 min ago cause I’m freezing. Apparently they need to go to the next county to get me one. Best part….I’m the only one here!!!!!!!

  58. Went to the ER Saturday morning around. 11am. Severe flu symptoms with chest pain. Honestly, I didn’t want to go, but my husband insisted. About an hour after arriving I was sent back for an EKG (it was like an assembly line) just About …

  59. I’ve been to a busy ER in a third world country and received better care than I have here. And they let me wait in an actual room and not the hallway. Being jostled and bumped into the whole time I’m there. The rooms were empty, and this …

  60. I was working at a Job site close to the hospital when I fell short of breath. I called 911 and was transferred to Good Samaritan. I have never been to this hospital before and was about 45 minutes from home. I have to say that It was …

  61. Just visited this ER and had a 3 day stay. They all treated me with care and respect!! From the short ER wait, thru surgery n discharge, they did a remarkable job! Keep up the good work!!!

  62. This hospital is horrendous. My mother had a stroke at about 3 o’clock in the morning. We rushed to Good Sam because it was close, and by close I mean 5 minutes close. She was rushed inside and put into a room, all good and fine, the doctor …

  65. Went to the ER around 12:30pm. I have been extremely sick and was having pressure in my chest. They did an ekg right away, which was normal, and sent me back out to the waiting room. Maybe two hours or so later they finally took me to see a …

  66. They have forgotten ” do no harm”. The hospitals and ER drs have no clue how to treat stroke like symptoms. One Neuro check in 3hrs! No MRI ordered! Really wouldn’t go anywhere that wellspan has!

  67. 8 hours to get 2 CT scans to essentially be told they can’t see my sons appendix to know if he has appendicitis. Gave him pain meds three times, I had to constantly hunt down nurses and doctors, and was finally admitted after being in the …

  68. My sister is in the emergency room area waiting to be discharged. She paged the nurses station 5x to go to the bathroom. After 15-20 minutes they finally came and helped her. They are not very helpful. Doctor Chun was wonderful!

  69. Ok now I’m giving 3 stars for the hospital itself but this one person deserves 5 stars if not more plus a raise! His name is Ted and his badge if I remember correctly said surgical technician or something along those lines. He was a sitter …

  70. I woke up early this morning with nonstop vomiting to the point where I was dry heaving. I was so dehydrated and knew I needed more than over the counter help.
    I’m not from this area, but here’s my expierence. …

  71. Good Samaritan hospital used to be a very compassionate place but now when I’m experiencing cold like symptoms I’m not allowed in the building until registration is all suited up and protected. I’m forced to wait outside in the cold rain, …

  72. In 2016 my friend brought her daughter to the hospital healthy 7 year old because she wasn’t feeling well. In a matter of minutes she was pronounced dead. WE NEED ANSWERS#JUSTICEFORDESTINY! THIS HOSPITAL NEEDS TO BE SHUTDOWN!!!!

  73. I picked up my Mother from the ER it turns out it was an overnight stay so I get a phone call saying please come and pick up your mother when I got there she was still in her hospital gown, Assumed she would be dressed and ready to go I had …

  74. Worst hospital. Arrived at the ER around 1pm, didn’t get called back to be checked until 10:45pm. It is currently a quarter after midnight and still nothing. This place is a joke.

  75. Your ED is a joke. Attitude from nurses and zero empathy. Do better and stop acting like you are the only place dealing with staffing shortages. That is zero excuse for bad behavior!!!

  76. This place is crazy you come in for treatment and sit for hours and no one even comes to check on you. If stop someone who works it is a problem. Came in at noon and now it is almost five and still nothing.

  77. I want to know why the ER hands people puke bags and continues to let them sick people sit amongst the rest of the ER patients and continue to puke? That is not right in anyway you look at it. Especially with covid, and that’s one of the main symptoms. Why are they not moved into another area?This is mind boggling. Just unbelievable!

  78. It is unfortunate this hospital ER is reverting to the old Good Sam ER- I honestly thought since Well Span came along it was getting better. Once again this ER goes on divert, wait times of 4 hours or more just to be seen. …

  79. I wouldn’t recommend this place to a corpse. My daughter went in on January 29th 2021 for a headache from a head wound, they sent her home . On January 31st, just 2 days later she was admitted to Hershey Med because she had an abscess in …

  80. They seemed to have been a little short staffed, like most places nowadays, but were all still so pleasant! I had to get blood drawn and there was only one person in line in front of me, so hardly waited at all. I had to bring my 3-yr-old …

  81. If I could give less stars, I would. Nothing like checking the awesome online Wellspan ER Waiting periods to see 14 minutes. Made us reconsider driving a little farther for care. During the 2+ hour wait with theee other patients in the ER, …

  82. The ER had my dad waiting for hours in waiting room, when he was having trouble breathing. This place should be shut down.Update he had a heart attack, so great job to the ER staff for catching that and comprehending what an emergency is.

  83. Been at e.r. for about 1 1/2 hr with friend with blocked foley who is in severe pain and hasnt even been triaged yet. Isnt 1st time it has been blocked and know it just needs changing. Hope his bladder doesnt develop either going through abdominal wall again or burst waiting for triage let alone to get it changed

  84. I’m surprised how fast things are going coming and and being seen so quick, on the other note the lady at the front desk Kimberly thought my condition for coming to the hospital seemed funny to sit there and laugh after telling someone on …

  85. had a respiratory asthma test here, and everyone was quite welcoming. i had never been in the hospital in the 15+ years i’ve lived here, so i was lost at first, but all receptionists were understanding. my doc, maima, was absolutely wonderful and made the test a lot less scary
