Well I have to say that I have never had a bad experience with this hospital or the staff. ER staff always take care of me at their best and they have always been friendly. Same for hospital stays.Long wait time is at all ER hospitals not just one. All I can say is that If you don't like Starr Regional then go somewhere else.

I feel my experience at Starr Orthopedics was fantastic. As you enter the sign in clerk knows you and gives you thumbs up. I feel like I'm wanted. Then Dr Slack did surgery on my.ingrown toenail. I was pleased withe gentleness and explaining what he will do. Dr Veale was Gentle on my news. Gave me steroid shots in knees. Explain what the procedure was. I'm very pleased.

I went there for a swollen foot that I could no longer put weight on. ER xrayed it. Xray claimed it was only tendonitis. I knew that was bs because Ive had tendonitis most of my life. Few weeks later, my dr pulled up the er xray & you could see a small fracture by my ankle. My dr re-xrayed it. That fracture grew to the bottom of my foot. I have been calling case mgmt & patient advocate for 2 months. No one answers the phone or return phone calls. Maybe they will for my lawyer.

Waiting 6+ hours to get seen for an allergic reaction. The nurses have attitudes, theres people coming in through the ambulance and waiting over 6 hours just to get some medical attention. Definitely won t be coming back even if I was dying.

I have been to this hospital twice for chest pain. The last time I went, there was a nurse behind the counter who I wasn't even speaking with, and she was openly giving me the most hateful stare I have ever received from a person. The first time I went, I was left in the room with the blood pressure machine on, and I had to disconnect it myself after my veins looked like they would burst. Both times, I was told I was fine and given a prescription for antacids. I honestly don't know how this place hasn't been turned over or shut down.

Such a horrible experience for my Grandmother. She was in was there for over 5 hours. We saw a doctor for maybe 2 minutes. They started an IV, left, only to come back an hour later, to see it wasn't even working. We ask for socks because she was so cold, we never received them. I have no idea what they check her for. Su ch a waist of our time. I would go to Sweetwater if I was you.

Went to ER after motorcycle accident. No issue with wait time. Doc called in 3 RX to local Walgreens. Went to pick them up and they were closed for 1 hr lunch break. We left headed home and thought we would pick up RX when we got home in another city. Now my local pharmacy cannot get one of the scripts. Called hospital back to get Doc to cancel the first script and reissue it. They refused without me driving over 2 hrs back to Athens and getting another ER bill. Red tape and lack of compassion for an injured patient will cause me NOT to come back to that facility.

Asked night nurse to help me with moving in bed and she sent her assistant who finally listened but left the lights on when she left. Am I straight in the bed : NO! Do I still hurt because of my position in the bed : YES! Does Kaylen seem to care : NO! Unless I'm unconscious I won't come here again. Now if you're lucky and get Maggie Bolin as a "tech" you're in good hands. She's prompt and courteous.

I had to call an ambulance for myself the first Saturday of January. They took me to Star regional in Athens. I have never had to use an ambulance before. Of course they got me right in I was in terrible abdominal pain. My daughter showed up shortly after I did. They wanted me to give a urine sample. They never gave me a cup and I was in too much pain to Go to the bathroomgo to the bathroom. I eventually grabbed a bucket off the counter, I set it on the floor and used it as a toilet. Eventually the nurse came in and was harsh with me because there was stool in it therefore it was useless. She still did not bring me a potty chair or a cup. My daughter eventually stops someone in the hall to bring me those things. I don't remember a lot of the visit because I was in so much pain but my daughter said my treatment was horrible and she is a medical assistant. 4 days later I got a call from my doctor sending me to an emergency room now. My daughter refused to take me to Star regional and took me to fort Loudon medical center emergency room. From there I was admitted and had to have emergency surgery for a perforated colon.

Worst hospital I have ever been to. Three different people all with chest pains, one has had a heart attack before, all had to walk out after 6+ hours of waiting. Guy brought in by an ambulance is told to wait. A kid who was in a car accident forced to wait in pain. Guy who fell 40 feet out of a tree told to wait. Everyone had to sit in the waiting room with their cups of urine cause no one was around to collect them or anything. No touch free hand sanitizers dispensers. There was the most nastiest looking stuff dried all over the floor with wet floor signs but looked like they didn t even try to mop it up. A roach crawled across the floor and everyone got a beautiful symphony hearing it crunch when someone stepped on it. It was extremely hot! A hospital is never suppose tobe HOT! There was trash everywhere. used napkins and tissues on almost every table. Absolutely nothing looked sanitary. There was no water fountains anywhere. Vending machine water is sold out. How this place is still running is crazy.
