Review of Oneida Healthcare Center

Find another hospital that cares about its patient...

Find another hospital that cares about its patients. I was in labor for 4 days and my labor experience was terrible. I had to go back to this facility 4 times because they kept sending me home (I first went in 4 times, between Thursday and Saturday, before my scheduled induction that following Monday). They wouldn t admit me for an Early induction because they were understaffed and kept having me wait it out until my schedule induction (Monday). While I was being monitored, they wouldn t let my husband in with me because I was not admitted. The nurses did not take my pain seriously, they kept telling I would be okay and their experience was okay and they were fine, I ll be fine. Well, I wouldn t be going in if I was fine . Each person is different and when staff does not take patients seriously and try to push them out, that is when emergencies happen (the nurses did apologize for my experience after the fact). My pain became so terrible, I almost passed out in the shower on Saturday. I was afraid of an emergency C-Section, so I called Syracuse hospital and got some information from them and I was going to go there if Oneida did not admit me that morning(Saturday). When I finally went in the fourth time, they admitted me. The night staff nurses taking care of my little one after I had her were rude. The staff threw away our paperwork we filled out that my husband handed to them the night of our stay (I watched him do it) and we had to do the Information over the phone. They still messed up her certificate and I had to call the court and hospital to get it fixed. Also, the rooms you stay in overnight are very small, not worth what you are paying for. The only good thing I have to say is that the doctor who delivered my baby was really wonderful that night and the nurses working with her that night were great. The rest of the doctors and nurses are rude and did the bare minimum. I would call another local hospital and compare their service and do research before considering Oneida.
