Reviews of Marshfield Medical Center-Marshfield (Hospital)

Susan Chase

Amazing staff in both the clinic and OB department. Highly recommend. I have never had such great care provided to me until coming to Marshfield.

Extremely rude, belligerent, unprofessional ER staff! I work as a nurse in a nearby facility. Trying to coordinate care for patients with this bunch is like a glimpse into a ghetto. A nurse who called herself "Anna" was uncivil, argumentative and downright, scandalously dishonest! I would recommend a different hospital the added travel time is worth the proper treatment.

Hospital is ridiculous, I brought my daughter in a few different times for chronic health related issues. If you leave AMA to seek care at a different hospital with a child they will call the cops on you, mind you my daughter was not in critical condition as they stated. Even if she were we sat in their ER for 7 hours and saw the doctor 2 times in 7 hours before I took her elsewhere. Makes me wonder how you treat your critical patients. Bedside manner sucks, doctors are in incompetent, and they are so slow.

Had two experiences now where they forgot/didn't bill my insurance! They're supposed to help people, not make them stress about bills!

Nicole Jones

The worst hospital experience I've ever encountered. I was transferred here for what was supposed to be a comprehensive series of tests for an ongoing illness. When I arrived, the neurologist I was supposed to see couldn't be bothered and sent his associate; a rude, disrespectful man, who ran only 2 tests of out of the many that were supposed to be done. Meanwhile, the nurses were hit or miss. There were a few decent ones but others were lacking in bedside manner and needed further training. More than once they forgot to flush out my IV and one nurse gave me the wrong medication, then fought with me when I addressed it and pointed out the label. (I was right and she choked out an apology.) Both the hospitalists I saw seemed drastically overwhelmed and undereducated, and had no idea what was going on. When they tried to discharge me after only doing 2 simple tests (far from the comprehensive panel I was promised), I expressed my dismay and asked the tests be done. They told me that I seemed unhappy and forced me to speak to a psychiatrist on staff, who spoke with me for about 10 minutes (no exaggeration). He asked me very odd and purposely leading questions, and the entire experience was uncomfortable and frankly, I wasn't there for any mental related diagnosis. It was very bizarre and random, then he tried to diagnose me with 3 different disorders and put me on two different psychiatric medications. (This is insane, and incredibly dangerous.) I felt like I was in a scene in "American Horror Story: Asylum". At this point, I told them I was leaving and did. Fast forward, and I am now being billed for procedures and "consultations" that never happened in any way, shape, or form, including a chest x-ray and a cardiac consultation. Find another hospital-this one is scary.

I had to be brought in yesterday Sept 30 to the ER because I slipped and fell off a ladder and nailed a trailer in the garage that was at 3:30 pm and then after that I was put into ICU AND JUST LEFT THERE EXCEPT FOR THE NUSES COMING IN TO CHECK ON ME BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO DOCTOR'S HERE TO COME AND CHECK ON ME AND IT IS NOW 9:10 AM ON THE OCTOBER 1ST. I FIND THIS BEEING NEGLECTED AND UNACCEPTABLE IT IS AS IF THEY DON'T CARE THAT I LAY HERE AND DIE OR ROT AWAY IT WOULD MATTER

An amazing medical center. With excellent patient service.

If I could score this as a 0 or in the negatives, I would. This place is terrible. Doctors an nurses are rude, unprofessional, and act like you are a burden to them. (Not like it's their job or anything to help people out.) This place is dirty, outdated and in need for an update. I'm just shocked at the lack of caring and empathy from ANY of the doctors or nurses. If you have a choice to go somewhere else, I would do it.

If I could score negative, I would. I had colorectal surgery and had to be driven an hour and a half there. I generally like the clinic side and my doctor. When first brought there after surgery, all I can remember was the EXTREME pain I was in. If I could have escaped my body, I would have. I had cups, wrappers, sports, etc...left on ledges or my bedside table for the 2/3 days, (out of the 5) I was supposed to be there. I had to call the hospital's main number to get a nurse to come down to help me. That was the at 2am. But she was on a break, I found out later. I almost wet the bed (and I had a catheter in). By the time she got there (over an hour), I was so upset, I was almost hyperventilating. This was the second time the "call" button was not connected. I had been told of the fiasco ofy friends and family being told the wrong room and the accusatory and condescending tone taken with them when they were trying to help relieve my pain. I was able to convince them I was fine and left the 2nd day after surgery. No wheelchair, 5 painpills to last 2 weeks and they WATCHED me walk out. I doubt they even knew I left. Papers were signed, so adios. The few nurses and assistants who did seem to care were overwhelmed and unsure of how to handle the situation. I still don't know how to deal with this grossly inadequate, demeaning, painful and downright cruel experience. RUN. RUN. FAR. AWAY.

I was never given the opportunity to evaluate my mother's recent hospitalization experience. If I had, I would have told them directly about our horrible experience. My mother had a massive R MCA stroke with dense left sided hemiparesis. The admission medication reconciliation process failed (I spoke with ER on admission, floor pharmacist, and RN). It took 3 days for the hospital to get her medications right! Response to call lights was poor. But my biggest complaint would be the way the case manager treated us during mom's hospital stay. Mom needed intensive inpatient stroke rehab at a stroke accredited facility and, as her POA, I needed her closer to me, so I requested transfer. The case manager resisted our wishes to get mom moved. I had to do all of the leg work to make that transfer happen. Once mom was accepted at the rehab hospital, the case manager suggested that my mother could be transported in a medical van on a hospital gurney without a medical attendant in the back with her. My mother had no use of the left side of her body, could not speak in a way that could be understood and did not have the ability to project her voice loudly, could not protect her airway because of poor swallow strength, was ordered to take nothing by mouth because of the risk of aspiration, and had a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and had just been started on blood thinners. If we had followed the recommendations of the case manager, my mother would have been put in the back of a medical transport van for a 4 hour ride! I should mention that the temperature was MINUS 45 degrees on the day of her transfer. What if she aspirated, choked, needed IVs, or had a lethal arrhythmia???? Thankfully, a friend (a case manager/RN/EMT in Waukesha) helped me arrange for an ambulance with EMT monitoring. The case manager at Marshfield refused to sign a document of medical necessity for ambulance transfer because she said it was not medically necessary that mom be transported by ambulance and/or EMTs. The doctors also refused to sign it, although they said if it were their mother, they would be transferring her by ambulance too! We absorbed 100% of that transfer expense. If they had signed the forms in Marshfield, Medicare would have covered a small portion of that. In addition, the doctors in Marshfield discontinued her IV fluids and telemetry monitoring prior to transfer, even though the ambulance crew had the capability to do that. She was severely dehydrated when she arrived at the hospital in Waukesha, requiring 2 liters of normal saline on arrival. I was appalled by the care and services provided at Marshfield Hospital. I would not recommend this institution. Unfortunately, mom did not have a choice of hospitals as EMS was directed to this facility for stroke protocol.

If i could give zero stars i would. Honestly I think the positive or 5 stars they have have to be a joke. Before my significant other and another woman's husband complained neither of us would have even gotten our pain under control. In fact I heard the doctor tell the other woman she's welcome to go to Point. Extremely unprofessional. Why not do what a doctor is supposed to do and actually care for your patients. I had the same doctor and a PA/attending....the attending told me I don't belong there that the hospital is for sick people. K so the fact I've been in pain almost two weeks and unable to eat because Every time I eat that pain gets worse tenfold....this means nothing? They also didn't even listen when i said it is not cramping, it's full on brutal sharp stabbing pain that is most definitely something a drug like bentyl will not help. Thanks to these people I have to borrow money to pay someone to take me to a hospital that actually gives a **** about their patients and doesn't just throw some b.s. diagnosis to basically kick you out. Staffing should be looked into here....i will never go back. I will pay to get to poiint or wasau from now on if ii need help which I'm still in awful pain and will end up going that route. Please if you don't have to do not use this hospital

Horrible hospital. Doctors are burned out and don't care. Medical staff (CNAs. Nurses, etc) are fairly unprofessional and every single one of them felt the need to diagnose me while I was here, so I left with about 15 new and scary ideas of what I "might have". I had to detox after I left from all the meds they kept cranking on me. Left feeling worse than when I came in. So disappointed and finding a different hospital, even if . have to switch insurance carriers. It's that bad.

Went for appointment at 9am for surgery they were so busy wasn't able to get in until maybe 4:30 . Had to lay in a bed for that long until we said we are done waiting. Have to reschedule for another day.

Patient needs,Pay for somthing and get nothing is Robbery.

Really need to work on the whole patient experience! Rooms are out dated, and the bed side manner of some of the staff is terrible! The TVs in the patient rooms are embarrassingly small... and the rooms have not been touched with an update since 1980!! If we had a choice we would have gone somewhere else.
