Fletcher Allen Health Care Reviews

Worst hospital, I have ever been too. Was recommended by my spine Doctor. I was Left in my room, un-ttendedfor 2.5 hours. Doctor blew me off. Didn't listen to my concerns, refused to order the CT and blood work I requested. Did an ultrasound and EKG instead, which cant diagnose your abdominal aorta correctly which was the original issue. In all took 8 hours from check in to check out. Had to ask three separate nurses for a drink. Did not address pain issue, blocked artery, or avascular necrosis in my femur, or suggest any other way to help. Diagnosis heart ishemic and instead of recommending Asprin, says I guess I could give you a Tylenol. Worst possible experience of my life, I will never waste my money there again!!!

Would give 0* if I could. I was having a miscarriage & sat in the waiting room for two hours with blood running down my legs while they took people in room that just had colds. Then when I got in a room it took another two hours just to see a doctor.

They always take great care of my mother-in-law and security are very friendly and helpful

I was abused during a stay at the ER and have found information in my medical record that is a false representation of what I told them during my stay. I had the most disturbing experience being kept in the ER against my will for 3 days, being given drugs I did not want or need, including Ketamine, which caused hallucinations. I was attack by 6 men for standing up from my bed, with no explanation. I've cancelled all upcoming appointments and will have nothing to do with this abusive organization going forward. Attempts to reconcile with the hospital have received the response that my treatment was in compliance with patient care standards. I would highly recommend everyone seek an alternative organization for their healthcare needs.

I should also mention that I am blind and was discriminated against. After reviewing my medical record online I see comments from doctors about how I didn't make eye contact... Seriously incompetent care that I am now being held responsible for paying thousands of dollars for...

They took great care of my boyfriend when he was in the ICU for severe injuries, the nurse i talked to eased my stress and fears, today my boyfriend is doing better and thank you

I've been to this hospital several times. It's a nice hospital, clean and in good condition. I've always had good luck with the care.

I have NEVER once in my life asked for pain Medication. However, when I was envolved in a car crash, in which i was t-boned, while in a jeep wrangler with the doors off I knew I needed them. MD. Curtis Keith was rude and gave me nothing to help with the pain (the other driver was at fault.) I was the one that got hit by a driver on his phone; Dr. Curtis Keith failed me and the Medical system.

**** please dont respond to me asking for me to call your complaints department. IM TELLING YOU TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOURSELF. Oh and this has to be the worst rated hospitial in Verment

If I could give no stars I would. I am contacting a lawyer tomorrow and filing a lawsuit against them. They do not care about anyone but money, their staff is highly unprofessional and I am done. I would rather die then ever step foot in that hospital ever again. Nurse Ashley and Rosemary On McClure 6 you should be ashamed of yourself. You are awful people. I will not stop till I expose you both and your both fired. This hospital needs to be shut down!!!

I hate this hospital. Always have had no help and terrible, rude workers.

I left my wallet outside on a picnic table, with a crisp $100 bill in it. An "employee" returned it to security who contacted me. Picked it up from information desk with the $ untouched. I hope those honest folks know how much I appreciate it - you saved me from an incredible headache

I have been attending the medical center for many years. Personnel are highly competent and professional. Physicians and surgeons are excellent.
I would recommend the medical center to anyone who is seeking extraordinary care.

Hello, I wanted to thank you. We had a traffic accident on Monday 8 August our son Corentin was hospitalized and we were very well received by all staff despite the difficulty of understanding since we do not speak English our whole family thank you for your kindness and we will go back to France having a thought for you and your work

Very wonderful hospital with genuinely great, knowledgeable, straight to the point, understanding, kind, & caring Doctors & Staff!!

Last week I was taken to the emergency room with severe pain in my foot. I want to say that there was one special nurse who was wonderful to me I can t remember his name but he was originally from Atlanta. Just very thoughtful and attentive.

There are so many great people and caregivers at this hospital, but their care and dedication is diminished and negated by the bad people there and the administration's eagerness to covers for those bad people instead of addressing their behaviors. I had a nurse deny me care because she decided that she thought I couldn't pay for it. I had no outstanding debt to the hospital or history of delinquency, she simply appointed herself a freelance personal finance deputy and denied me a treatment I needed because she thought it was too expensive for me. This was after I had told her very clearly that I understood the cost and to go ahead with the scheduling while I took care of the financial piece. I had spoken to patient financial assistance and they had told me to go ahead with it because I was eligible for assistance. This nurse inserted herself between me and the care I needed based on her perceptions of my financial situation. I felt this was deeply inappropriate and patient financial services did, too. They told me to report her to the office of patient and family advocacy.

This is where the funny part of the joke begins, the hilarious joke that is a whole department supposedly dedicated to advocating for patients but which actually just gaslights them, automatically goes with whatever version of the story they get from staff, and basically tries to make you feel crazy for trying to get the care you need delivered respectfully and appropriately. It's not advocacy, it's damage control. The patient and family "advocates" exist to make you go away, not to help you.

I was finally able to get the treatment I needed - the treatment my doctor ordered because my immune system is attacking my joins, glands, and liver - but only after weeks of full-on phone tag combat with multiple departments. So not only was my treatment delayed a month, the stress of this prolonged incident caused a flare up of my autoimmune disorder. Too bad I have no other choice unless I want to drive all the way down to Dartmouth.

We've been here for 2 hours waiting for a CT scan..

Rude nurses, and psychopathic doctors. Don t be shocked if you end up with a $260,000 surprise bill after a one week visit.

I'm extremely grateful for the expeditious and compassionate life saving treatment that I received at this hospital. All of the staff, especially nurse "Regina" (in the ICU) are so professional, knowledgeable, considerate and kind. Anything I needed, they made sure that I got it and got it in a timely manner too. I am so grateful. Thank you!

One week in icu with in dwelling Foley catheter and not one attempt at checking or cath care. I had IV in back of leg for clot busting and couldn t get out of bed or turn, NO skin checks, no skin care, no care at all. Here s your basin, good luck
.
Last day in icu nurse wouldn t let me go until my other iv was halfway empty down tubing. Unusual to be d/c d from icu but I was there for clots in leg and lungs. After a week I was so anxious to go home. The amount of fluid in that tubing was negligible, not good nursing practice and simply her exercise in power. I would have removed it myself but my husband advised I wait and not hazard some crazy comments in my chart. I will never let her near me again, btw she was supervising also, I won t go into it all but this was my 3rd stay and the previous 2 were surgeries and the visiting nurse hung wrong iv meds, refused to help after surgery so I asked the surgeon be called and bless his heart he helped move the sharp egdes from the post surgical brace from my shoulder replacement .
I can t go through it all, just bring family or friend, you need someone to keep an eye and next time I will make formal legal complaints.
God I pray there s no next time.

0 stars should be option. They deserve negative 50 stars. No help no confirmations, appointments rescheduled without informing patient. Another month waiting for important surgery. Shame on this hospital and those who run it. Guess I'm going to Canada to get quality healthcare

What a Great Hospital! My Son had gastric surgery yesterday. The Doctors, the staff caring for him were all amazing, kind, very informative and attentive to his needs. What a great team, special shout out to his PACU nurse and the Baird 6 nurses!!! Thank you!
