UHS Binghamton General Hospital: Emergency Room - Binghamton (NY)

1 /5 Rebekah Cohrs: It feels like youre going into a forgotten basement cave when you go in. Just the rooms themselves are so cramped and dated, it definitely does not feel like youll be a priority. I challenge John Carrigg to send his loved ones there. I doubt he would. The nurses all were kind, I was impressed with their care. Thats literally the only positive though. Its been well over a full day with no updates. One Dr spoke to me to get background info almost 24 hours ago at this point. At that time she said Id hear back in a few hours. I waited hours with a patient hoping to get an update, still nothing. Had there been any other feasible option Id be gone in a heartbeat. The lack of social workers or advocates there to assist people unable to make informed decisions on their own there is appalling. I was with a patient and actively seeking answers and got none. What on earth about all those going in with no loved ones to assist? Its like theyre in a black hole where their only use is for the hospital to pad their income through multiple tests that no one ever gets the results to. Again, immediate staff, nurses, guards, I was impressed with their empathy and caring, but they definitely seem to be stuck under the typical issue of out of touch upper management whom assuredly would go to the new Wilson wing if they needed to get treated. If you go here seeking mental health treatment for you or a loved one I am quite sure youll leave scarred from the experience and with new issues to deal with in therapy. This place does not end the cycle, it perpetuates it.

1 /5 Isaac Glasgow: If I could give zero Stars I would I was in the hospital/ ER for 8 hours due to chest pain and I felt like I could not breathe and all they gave me was a pill

1 /5 Tanya R: I will say, the staff is kind and they did several tests. My issues are 1) being released without any relief of the issue I can in with, 2) unruly patients being noisy and get yelled at multiple times in the waiting room, and 3) sitting in the waiting room for hours and having everyone hear all that your care team has to say. So to say I just wasted over 2 hours is an understatement. I wont be back. I go to the ER for help to feel even a little relief and to leave with NONE is pathetic.

1 /5 Jeff: The whole hospital should be turned into a second psychiatric hospital for the area at this point. Most of the patients are psychiatric and the staff is horrible at treating any type of physical discomfort anyway.

1 /5 Diane Brizzolara: Unbelievably bad. Going there for medical care was a mistake. We found ourselves in with a large group of mental, emotional, and addictive patients. Admin actually mistook us as one of these psych patients so that when we went to leave to seek care elsewhere we were temporarily detained against our will. It is sad because no one is getting the care they need there. No one needing med care or psych care.
