George Regional Hospital

"1/7/24–Mrs ginger and everyone in the er from the check in to exiting were the best and fastest hospital experience I’ve ever had. I had always heard “bad” about the hospital but no one ever shares the good experiences! we recently moved closer to lucedale and it was the closest when we thought my son dislocated his shoulder. nothing about my experience was bad. I will continue to go here."

"I have had good experience with this hospital so far. I had eternal life so they tested my heart a few times and it wasn't working. Dr Lawrence doesn't care for you. He treats you. Dr. Ginger cares for you. The experience I've had with hospitals there are no good ones anymore. They are out make you worse or kill you rather than make you better."

"I had a visit 11-11-23 5pm-11pm for Kidney stones. The Nurses are fantastic! Extremely thankful for them & the Dr."

"I’m a caregiver so I’ve stayed in several hospitals with different patients. I have to say George Regional staff is some of the best. They are kind and caring not only to their patients but also to the patients family and caregivers. Several times throughout the night when checking in on the patient they also would ask me if I was ok or needed anything. I was offered drink, snacks, pillows, and blankets. They definitely go above and beyond!! Edit- After being there with other patients it seems to be hit or miss. There some nice and some not so nice. After a disagreement with the head nurse not wanting to care for my patient I would say stay with your loved ones!! NEVER leave them alone!!! If your not there you don’t know how their treated!! And I promise you it’s not always good!!!"

"I showed up to the hospital by ambulance and got shoved into the ER waiting area by a very rude nurse that said there were no available rooms in the er. After waiting in the waiting room with severe pain for 2 hours my husband had to call them and raise hell just so they would call me to the back. Once I was in the back it took hours before the dr could get to me because they were so busy. WHY DO THEY NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOMS OR DR’s?!! Once the dr got to me she gave me pain meds and antibiotics and a ct scan plus some blood work which showed my count was way, way high and I had two serious infections in my digestive track!!! The Dr in the ER did admit me and the next morning a JOKE OF A DR NAMED DR. MCARTHUR walked into my room and released me with antibiotics only but no pain meds!!! I don’t do drugs nor did I have an ambulance take me to the hospital just for fun!!! But, he treats everyone like they are drug seeking addicts!!! My ct scan and test results show that I WAS VERY sick. Dr McArthur never examined me in any way shape or form. He just gave me the boot and said if I’m in pain to call my primary for a RX! It was a Sunday!!! My primary is not available on Sundays!!! I then called the hospital back to ask the dr to please send the meds I need to the pharmacy but the lady on the phone refused to transfer me to him and even told me he wasn’t on the floor any more when I clearly saw five minutes prior to calling he was just kicked back at the nurses station just socializing instead of caring for or about his patients!! Then the lady on the phone hung up on me when I was asking for her name!!! This place NEEDS MORE AND BETTER DR’s, nurses, and ER space!!!! These “professionals”. Need a lesson on CARING for patients and not just making a paycheck!!! This place is a joke and I will NEVER go back!!! Horrible hospital!!! Save yourself some time, pain, and lack of care and just go to a different hospital. You’ll be better off and treated better somewhere else!!"
