WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE . WE HAD AN EMERGENCY TONIGHT THAT LANDED US AT BLOUNT MEMORIAL EMERGENCY ROOM. THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL FROM THE FRONT DESK TO DR PEIPPER AND NURSE LAURIE ALONG WITH CIANA FROM ULTRASOUND. IT ISN'T OFTEN A HORRIBLE EVENT LEADS YOU TO COMPASSION AT A HOSPITAL WHEN EVERYONE IS UNDERSTAFFED AND SELF ABSORBED. NOT HERE. BLOUNT EXPLAINED EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS. 5 STARS AND THANK YOU

I would love to leave 0 stars but it won’t let me. Coming from the healthcare field and the way you all handle your ER is PATHETIC. I hope your employees need care here and receive the same care that you provide the people. HORRIBLE. WORTHLESS and way less than a typical human should have to deal with.

I would give it zero stars if possible. Was visiting Gatlinburg when I thought I was experiencing a heart attack. Went to Blout Memorial Hospital in June 2022. I checked in and had my blood pressure checked, issued a bracelet and waited in the waiting room with a BP of 190/110 - for 3 hours. Finally left - drove 4 hours home to my local hospital where I was tested and diagnosed with a panic attack due to recent trauma. 7 months later . . . . I receive a bill for $330 - tried to fight the charge but because they pro... read more

I wish I had read this page before I went to Blount. It’s the worst run hospital I have been to in my 65 years. I walked in at night with a high fever. I was made to wait over seven hour in their uncomfortable, cold waiting room. Then the doctor, who spent less than 5 minutes with me, misdiagnosed the fever, and sent me home with a prescription for antibiotics. My illness lasted 6 weeks. I had to see two other doctors and have additional tests. To make matters worse, they billed me over $2,000! And when I called to ma... read more

In March, our 8 month old daughter rolled off a bed and hit her leg on the way down and was obviously in a lot of pain. Having just moved to Tennessee a couple months before, we weren't really prepared with a plan for this type of thing, so in a panic, my wife took our daughter to the Blount Memorial ER. I'd also like to add that my wife and I share the guilt of her falling, and it was one of those things that just happened in an instant and we feel awful about it. And we also know we should have taken her to Children's i... read more

I was a patient on the psychiatric floor two years ago and had psychiatric issues where I heard voices. The voices told me to remove a place plate from the wall in my room and cut my wrist. I caught myself midstream and ran to the nursing station. Instead of caring for me, LEE ELLEN NARAMORE, M.D sent me to a psych ward and stamped psychotic on my file. Since then I have not heard any voices as my medications have stabilized. On three different accounts, I have reached out for help from Blount Memorial Hospital's psychi... read more
