WVU Wheeling Hospital

"I went to this hospital in October with severe internal belly pain. I was hoping to get some relief and treatment, but instead I got the worst service ever. I had to wait in the ER waiting room for **7 hours** without any attention or care. The staff were rude and indifferent, and they did not take my pain seriously. They suspected that I was only trying to get painkiller prescription, and they did not admit me to the hospital. They told me go home and take some antacid. The pain was not going away on its own so I went to Martins Ferry Hospital, where I was seen in **minutes** and diagnosed with a severe intestinal infection and enteritis. I had to undergo some treatments and stay in the hospital for a while. The doctors told me that I could have died if I had not come to them sooner. Wheeling hospital is a disgrace and a danger to the public. They do not care about their patients, and they do not have the skills or the equipment to handle serious cases. They should be shut down and investigated for malpractice. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone, and I will never go there again. They caused me more pain and suffering than I can describe. They are the worst hospital ever."

"Had a severe problem with my sciatic nerve, was in excruciating pain, couldn't walk, couldn't sleep .. They did nothing to help alleviate the pain so I could actually lay flat for a cat scan to see what was wrong with my nerve. I went to the ER one night on my own after Tylenol and a steroid shot did nothing and they sent me home with nothing, next day I was even worse and had to go back via ambulance. They still did absolutely nothing to help, still couldn't lay flat for a cat scan due to the incredible pain. I wouldn't recommend this hospital for anything, they did nothing to help my pain just so I could get in a Scan to see what was wrong. Sent home with no prescriptions, no pain relief, still suffering unable to walk but I bet they made sure my insurance paid them for NOTHING. Absolutely worthless Emergency Room ... Do Not Bother coming here. Thanks for nothing WVU!!"

"They saved my life and. The Dr's and nurses were very kind and professional. I couldn't recommend this hospital enough. They went out of there way to make sure I was getting the best care when I was there and when I came home. They didn't just send me home the next day. They cared for me for 10 days. To make sure everything was OK. Since then I've lost 150lbs and continued to fight to get my life back ."

"My mother is in there and I guess they expect the family to do all of her care. To bad that family that can really help are in NC and SC. So all we can do is call and complain and get ignored. So to anyone and everyone who works here today, 7-22-23, on the 4th floor and especially room 469. Do better. You wouldn't want this treatment done to your family member. If I could give a zero I would. No wonder you have a bad star average. If you care for your family member, don't take them here."

"So far this experience at Wheeling hospital has been good. They have taken good care of my mother who was transported from wetzel county hospital with a pulmonary embolism. ( WETZEL COUNTY IS USUALLY AMAZING). Wheeling has had it's ups and downs in my experiences, however, so far so good this trip."
