Reviews of Centra Lynchburg General Hospital Emergency Room (Hospital)

Joyce Smith

Been waiting to see a doctor for 5 hours, granddaughter had a miscarriage and bleeding everywhere and still won't take us back.

I was advised to go to this ER due to the fact my primacy care physician couldn't see me until the 20th of this month. Needless to say, they honestly DO NOT CARE. I hate doctor Stephen Chester because he basically said I was causing myself to tremor even though urgent care didn't seem to think so. I woke up tremoring so I don't see how that is possible. Anyways, my fibromyalgia was the reason behind my pain. When I got my discharge papers, it said "anxiety reaction; tremor of right hand".... THAT'S NOT ALL THAT WAS GOING ON. THEY COMPLETED IGNORED THE FACT I HAD SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN. They gave me an ativan and sent me on my way. No prescriptions to manage or help with the pain. And the other specialist who saw me basically told me to tough it out until I could be seen at my primary care physicians office on the 20th of this month. Rude nurses. Rude doctors. They don't want to help nor do they listen, they just do what they think is best for you and ignore what you say.

Always slow. Nurses are well trained, but have bad attitudes. If you paid all that money to go to nursing school, a caring and loving attitude is the number one attribute. They need to learn hospitality there. I'd rather drive to Bedford. My mom has had 3 heart attacks and they legit let her sit here in pain. Literally dying. I'm glad they write off people's bills. That's about as good as it gets. They think people just come there to get pills.

DEPENDING ON YOUR INSURANCE,MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN THE CARE ONE RECEIVES AT MOST HOSPITAL FACILITY ER's,and THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST FOR THIS TO BE SUCH A SMALL POPULACE AREA IN LYNCHBURG VA. I myself had a BAD EXPERIENCE ,SO MUCH SO I HAD TO BE MEDA VAC TO VCU in RICHMOND. WAS THERE FOR 18 DAYS. MIND YOU YOU GUYS SENT ME HOME 3 NIGHTS IN A ROW BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT I WASNT INSURED. ONCE ,ON THE 4TH VISIT MY SON ACCOMPANIED VIA CAR, AND ONCE HE GAVE MY CREDENTIALS , I WAS EXPEDICIOUSLY EVALUATED,AND MEDICAL ATTENTION ADMISNISTERED. AS I SAID BY THIS TIME I'M IN LIVER FAILURE FROM A CHEMICAL BURN THAT IF PROPERLY ATTENDED TO INITIALLY THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THE KILLING FIELDS

I was debating as to wether or not to write this, but if it saves someone's life I think it's worth it. I went to the er after passing out one night. They ran all kinds of tests and after 12 1/2 hours, said everything came back fine, and "maybe I got up too fast." Fast forward to a few weeks later and a visit with my primary doctor where she was able to go in and see my results. Turns out I have a cyst on my brain, and my blood sugar, which he stated was normal was 159. Thank God for my primary. I have to go to a nerologist, and unfortunately its through centra, and I am legitimately against going back there ever again. If there was another choice I would take it. After having a doctor stand there and lie to my face, I have zero trust in anything Centra related at this point.

Horrible waiting and some staff doesn't seem to care at all. ☹

It was slow but all of the staff was excellent. I'm a college student with a chronic illness. Everyone was very kind and they did exactly what I needed to feel better. The reviews made me so nervous to come here but I had no choice. I was pleasantly surprised at the care I received. It might be worth mentioning I came in during night shift. Also, It was not extremely busy that night.

Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible experience. I wish there were an option for 0 stars to be given because no cares were given during my visit. The staff was loud and inconsiderate, having inappropriate conversations, and understaffed for the amount of patients they had. They have about 60 beds and were treating 100 people. People were being helped in the hall where all there personal information was being told in front of unauthorized people, and people were in stretchers in the halls while being hooked to IVs. The rooms were unsanitary and dirty. It was just an awful experience where we will be charged for services that were subpar. We will be filing something in accordance to several Hipaa violations encountered last night. If you can make it to another hospital, make the commute. This is absolutely the worst hospital I have ever been to, and my fiance is studying medicine and was shocked at everything we were dealing with last night. 5 of the 6 people being treated beside me left with pain medicine for diagnosed kidney stones. The other guy was in a car accident, so they couldn't blame that on his kidneys. What a coincidence that we all were there with the same problems !?! I think not...

The ABSOLUTE worst hospital I have ever been to. No one waiting and it still took over three hours to have my three year old seen. What good is a hospital if you have to be dieing to get seen in a timely manner. I would give this place negative stars if I could. We were there for 6 hours

SHAQ H

I had to rush my sister to the ER due to several sudden symptoms that progressively got worse. She was in severe pain when we pulled up. I thought things would go well considering we were able to get into a room fast enough. It took them almost an hour to get a needle in her vein though (4 different nurses made attempts in both arms) and the one who was successful spilled blood all over her arm, gown, and sheets. (Not to mention he kept asking is to assist him in different ways because all the other nurses vanished)... A bit later, someone comes to collect the blood samples, and the nurse declines to take one of the vials. She later returns and refuses to let my sister use the bathroom, saying she'll have to wait till the doctor comes in with a bed pan. My sister adamantly explained she couldn't hold it, it was an emergency. The nurse ignored her. After that fiasco, someone comes in to discuss finances. My sister tells him she doesn't have insurance so he offers to give her financial aid forms. Almost three hours of radio silence from the staff go by. My sister had to call them into the room to ask questions regarding her progress. They then tell us they need a urine sample before they can run tests..... Long story short, completely unimpressed. The staff don't appear to be trained well at all. Not friendly, they don't communicate, and if we could have made it to a different hospital, I would not have come here. Absolutely horrible. I've never been to a hospital where a patient is not a priority this way. Every interaction seemed like they were brushing the situation to the side so they can get back to whatever they're doing at their desks. Would not recommend this even if it were the last hospital in a hundred mile radius!!

Staff are like little kids playing doctor
