Review of Onslow Memorial Foundation

They have been beyond amazing both times I've been...

They have been beyond amazing both times I've been. Being chronically ill I've been in my fair share of er's across the country and they are how I wished all of them would have been. They are kind caring and attentive. They listen and don't dismiss your pain. They go above and beyond to make sure you know what's going on and to do all they can for you. With this latest stay I got more information on my back than I have in 20 years. I also found out I have another genetic disorder but I feel more at ease about it knowing they are less than an hour from me. Yes I pass 3 hospitals to get to Onslow but the care is completely worth it.

Edit
I've gone through all the reviews and the people down voting it have no idea what a bad hospital is and are mostly impatient children. 6 painful debilitating genetic disorders keep me in and out and I move a lot. For real if you have an issue go to this hospital. Complaining about a 3 hour wait... I've waited 12 hours with before 6 to 8 is standard on weekends. It's gonna take longer on holidays and at night. Stop bothering the staff so they can get stuff done stop bringing in kids for low grade fevers unless the child has an underlying health issue and stop using the er as a GP and schedule an appointment with your doctor. I understand some people need to use the er as a doctor but you are doing it at the very first sign of everything give your immune system a chance again unless you have an underlying condition. Also your local area has a free or low cost clinic and they give you the information for it please start utilizing those so that way you can get continuous care and preventative medicine along with more complete medical records. They are who can get you on a treatment plan. Don't bother the staff you make them forget what they were doing and mess with everyone. if you start seeing a few people go in before you that came after you that don't appear to have a more severe situation as you and again you can't really tell go up and say "pardon me I was just making sure my name wasn't already called and I was zoned into my phone or something." Stop being mean to these people they are at work and are doing the best they can. I've been to some of the "best" hospital and these guys are hands down better. Do better for them and accept that you may not be the worst case in the waiting room and you will make everyone's experience more enjoyable.
