Wahiawa general hospital Reviews

Listen no one enjoys having to go to the hospital! I had the unfortunate pleasure of having to take a trip to the emergency room. Normally I am filled with anxiety and stress, and that is when we were allowed to have someone with us. Now alone, in a great deal of discomfort, and filled with concern, I was scared. However, everyone in the hospital went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and supported! I was greeted by one of the most friendly security personnel who wished me to be well. Having difficulty walking the woman at the check-in desk went out of her way to make me comfortable until I was taken to a room. The nurse who took all the usually first stage vitals and symptoms check helped me relax, was friendly, and even though everyone wore a mask you could still feel her smile! The doctor went out of his way to fix the problem with my foot. It was not an easy process and though I was worried he talked me through every step, reassured, and comforted me. The best bedside manner I've seen in a long time from a doctor. The radiologic technologists/x-ray techs who came to my room to x-ray my foot were absolutely lovely! They made me laugh and once done brought me a warm blanket to help me be more comfortable! The discharge nurse who came and wrapped my foot ugh I wish I could have hugged her! She wrapped me with care, we bonded over foot problems and footwear! The nurses who fixed my crutches and wheeled me to my car! I can not stress enough the care and compassion I received! While physically there without a loved one at no time did the staff ever allow me to feel alone. Let me end with saying if you were working the ER Tuesday May 18th, 2021 5:40pm - 8:30pm thank you! Your compassion, empathy, and dedication makes a difference!

I had to go to the ER to get an IV and the staff was incredibly kind and thorough. Everyone from the intake staff, to the nurses to Dr. Lee on duty was so good at their jobs. Mahalo!

Went to the hospital emergency and told me they cuisine help me because they don t do scannings On the weekend! Said we gotta go Pali pomi after wasting my time. What s the point ! I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR EMERGENCIES

My husband took a fall and needed stitches. We had several options for urgent care and we called one location, and the gentleman we spoke to directed me to call Wahiawa General Hospital. I was transferred to the ER receptionist, who was either having a bad day or just really hates her job. I asked her if she could provide me a wait time. In an annoyed tone she said, I m not going to give you a wait time. You can come in if you think it s an emergency. If not, you can wait until next week to see your doctor. I m going to end the call now. She then hung up on me. Wow. I wasn t even rude or upset. I don t expect people to be happy and bubbly, but I expect a certain level of professionalism. I was so shocked at how rude she was to me. It was completely unnecessary.

They treated my mother soo well in the emergency room and ran all the necessary test to ensure her health issues were not life threatening.

ER was very caring and personnel are very attentive. Care is given priority with safety. I felt in good and safe hands while being treated. TY E1 from the Emergency Room.

Very disappointed with the doctor...my dad was in pain had some sores on his legs..he had a way with patients maybe he should have another job like anything...my mom asked if he could get an x-ray because the nurse that takes of my dad recommend it.I thought doctors got into the field to be compassionate , patient with older patients..Ben the nurse was awesome with older patients. Dr.Tom in the emergency room needs to be a little more compassionate with older patients. Dr.Tom agreed to the x-ray. Thank u.But pls try to be a more compassionate, patient with older patients.

Wahiawa Hospital has been my go to in early 2019 and again in early to late 2020.

non-covid related. other health conditions.

i've been suffering from on going unknown tachycardia episode symptoms since even before 2019.

how long precisely I don't know but it's gotten worse and debilitating in the last 6 years (2016-ish). mostly in the last 3 specifically.

i want to give WGH a perfect score of 5 stars out of 5 considering I've went there quite frequently in the last 3 years and they've been compassionate and understanding.

very patient with me as well.

however

there was this one vist for a syncope+ hypertensive crisis+ tachycardia episode I had in the wee hours of the morning, winter last year around 5 am and it was raining.

when I was cleared of health concerns yet again after blood tests and x rays and general examination/questioning I didn't have a ride home that particular night.

since it was early I wanted to wait for family and friends to naturally awake themselves then I'd call for someone to pick me up.

didn't want to harass anyone for help so early.

so I sat and waited underneath the shelter of the hospital from the rain to wait until daylight.

thing is.

security told me to leave due to a no loitering rule.

he essentially kicked me out in the cold rain with strong wind even after I told him I'm just there temporarily to wait for everyone to wake up naturally as to not disturb them.

he wasn't having any of that.

i left the premises as instructed.

didn't want to cause any trouble especially since the nurses, doctors and other staff have been great there in almost all sceneries.

so.

technically my medical help there is a 5 star experience as I've been helped every single occasion even if they still couldn't precisely figure out what my exact health issue is although some doctor's there have theories.

(I think I discovered it by accident. a lady friend of mine says it sounds like POTS something she's suffered with since she was in her late teens in the late 2000s.)

the only downside is the security guard rules.

if you go there you'll get good medical help, friendly team of nurses and doctors with tests. that's what matters most.

but don't stick around if you are well enough to leave and are discharged or you'll be kicked out.

My husband got injured while swimming and ended up with 2 minor stitches. The doctor and nurses in the ER room were very friendly, helpful, and professional. Glad we went here to take care of the injury.
