Lehigh Valley Hospital - Pocono

"This place should have been closed down years ago. The only good thing about this so called hospital is the nursing staff , who are over worked and under paid. My vet cares more about my dog than these so called medical professionals care about humans. If I was Jonathan Goldner I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with this dump."

"Do not go here or send your loved ones here! Worst medical experience I ever had. Was bought here after a car accident while I was traveling from another state. They left me out in a hallway while I was bleeding from the face for over two hours despite the hospital being empty and there was staff around. They did not clean or properly treat my wounds. Wasn't given proper post treatment care (had to go to another hospital), wasn't checked for a concussion (which I had at the time) and they sent my antibiotics to the wrong pharmacy that was closed despite my friends' pleas not to send it there. It took me over a day with stitches in my mouth to straighten it out with the pharmacy since I live in another state.The surgeon couldn't tell exactly how many stitches needed to be removed so I couldn't relay it to the next plastic surgeon to work on my post recovery. As a result, I have worse scars because I still have a stitch or two in my face under my scars. The following days after my visit I was harassed non-stop by them to leave a good review and when I gave them 2 stars they called me twice as much. Was double billed and an invoice was sent to my house despite them already being paid by my insurance company."

"Thank you to the entire ER staff for helping my son get back to normal breathing. Everyone treated us wonderfully. Thank you to Dr. John “J” Schleicher (spell check), the resident doctor on call, Mariam, the kind nurse who skillfully administered the liquid steroid into my stubborn son’s mouth, and to the many other kind staff people. I apologize for not remembering more names, but it’s been a difficult day. The ER team was smart at solving some tricky problems. They are doing great work. Peace and Love to everyone."

"Saved my life, this is a review from years ago, it was New Year's Eve, the only surgeon available was the head of the department. He came in followed by no less than five other residents, all giving me insane care. My mother an educator, and my father was on the school board , so I was honored to be a part of this. The surgery went perfectly, and if mother nature had her way, I would not be writing this review! Thank you to everyone. From the ER staff to the surgical staff to the recovery staff ( which getting neglected so much for their hard work) Everyone in the department did excellent and I do have to say, even before Lehigh valley took over, I was treated like any patient would want to be treated. With respect. To some of the other reviewers that talked about drug panels being run on young mothers, sometimes these people have to assume the worst in order to make sure that your child is healthy, if you are a closet addict, which most are, your child would come out of the womb addicted to whatever substance you have been using. They did this to protect your kid, not too insult you. I think you need to move one more step to the right."

"Worst hospital experience ever. Basically a emergency room full of incompetent staff run by lazy children.My daughter was assaulted and I was kept away from her. They wouldn’t let me know what room she was in. When I asked security he refused to give me his name or her room number. The seated staff ignored me completely. Then the security decided instead of alleviating my concerns and worries they instead chose the irrational route of calling the police. My daughter was there for six hours plus.They didn't take vitals in the ambulance or in the hospital until five and a half hours later. They didn’t check her heart rate, her blood pressure and only fifteen minutes before she was was discharged did they check on her. She hadn’t even been seen by her doctor. They didn’t give her a ice pack during her whole visit. Not even a band aid. And they didn’t clean or dress her wounds or abrasions. No bandages nothing and didn’t even give her a dressing for her sprained finger. 6 hours plus that amounted to the most basic treatment I could have administered myself for her at home. They basically got paid for doing some x rays, giving her tylenol and sitting her in a room. The level of care is ever lacking and we won’t be back. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hospital like the plague. You’d be better off going to a school nurse not even kidding."
