"My son was mis diagnosed. He had xray to see if his jaw was broken. They assured him it wasn't. He goes to the dentist and his jaw is broken."

"I would give this place -5 stars if I could. Terrible experience. After waiting for over 2 hours to see a doctor, I Googled the symptoms I had and helped myself. Started to feel better on my own. Left this place without their "care" when the sun was already rising. The waiting room was smelling horribly, and it was dirty. Public hospitals in other countries have much better service than this place we are expected to pay for."

"Pictured below, is the absence of compassion. This woman, brought in by ambulance, was wheeled into the waiting room in obvious abdominal pain, stating, in fact begging in the best English she could muster, to lay down. My wife and I were there eagerly waiting for news about a family member who had been taken into the ER by ambulance. Politely and patiently, we asked three times over three hours for any news, any update, anything, only to be essentially told the ER was very busy and to just wait longer. Eventually we were told someone was going to come out and speak with us, but 45 minutes later, after my hands couldn’t take any more wringing, that hadn’t happened either. During this entire debacle, the first hospital employee to approach this woman, seeing her distress, asked if she needed to throw up, but the woman didn’t answer. A moment later, a male employee emerged from triage with a vomit bag. When she pushed it away, saying she didn’t need it, he uncompassionately told her to take it anyway. They went back and forth three times, and he ultimately shoved the bag into the basket behind her chair and retreated back into triage, because he had done his good deed for the day. Moments later, just before this picture was taken, she slid to the floor in an obvious attempt to find a position of comfort, only to have security arrive moments later and insist she allow them to place her back in the chair, telling her she couldn’t lay on the floor. She protested, and eventually one of the guards went to the triage door in what seemed to be an attempt to get their opinion. Unfortunately, the soulless pig that happened to be closest to the door explained, in the most contemptuous voice she could muster, the woman did not fall, she watched the woman lower herself to the floor, and that she was fine. Somehow, the woman’s presence on the floor and her obvious distress was overshadowed by how she got to the floor and whether or not it was all an act. Moments later, as vomit bag guy walked by again, she asked him to be placed in a bed. Barely breaking his stride, he told her there were no beds available and that they were doing their best. Since then, 25 minutes later, they have taken two other walking patients into the ER, with one of them suggesting this woman be allowed to go ahead of them. She has moved herself six times in an effort to find a position of comfort, and has given up on requesting help from the staff. Four hours later, on our way back to another waiting room, still with zero news in hand, I again heard all about how busy the ER was while I snapped a second picture. Compassion people. When all it takes to get a woman off the floor is for someone to slap a sheet on one of four empty beds, it only takes 2 minutes of compassion to make it happen. In a department where the employees facing the waiting room have maybe had a little too much inner city ER interaction, the compassion ran pretty thin. But when the department failed to recognize that something as simple as a 60 second update would have given me all I needed to stay calm, how can they be expected to see a woman on the floor?"

"I believe AtlantiCare is one of the better hospitals in Southern New Jersey, and their being in the Atlantic City region is a boon to the area. Three different surgeries for my Mom - two at the Mainland Campus and one at the Atlantic City Campus, the latter one being of a complicated category, and they have done a fabulous job. Their services and sincerity are unquestionable. Much appreciation and kudos to them. They have done a very good job. I can tell you that they treat patients with much compassion and courtesy. A truly good set of people who care."

"Came to the hospital at 9am sore throat, you can feel my neck swelling up, chest hurts from coughing so much. This hospital has gone downhill so bad. The took me out of the bed set me in a waiting area for a doctor to come and talk to me I swill never return here again. If I have to go to my doctor in the morning cause they was to lazy to do their job I will see a lawyer."
