This place is pretty bad, and it starts at the front door. The paraprofessional staff is stocked with country bumpkins who have struck it big with a job at the hospital. As such, the don't (or act like they don't) know basic healthcare. Everyone shouts your personal and health information around in flagrant violation of Privacy and HIPPA laws. The wait for anything is ridiculous, although not nearly as bad as their sister hospital Harford Memorial. Once you actually see a doctor, it's hit or miss, but the nurses and paraprofessionals are consistently disappointing. All that being said, I'll keep it simple: if it's a matter of life or limb, swallow your pride and come here (you really don't have a choice). However, if you can manage it, make the drive to Baltimore/Delaware/etc., and go somewhere better. Either way, avoid Harford Memorial.
