A complete 3rd world ER and hospital. I wouldn't send my dog to this place. John Hopkins should be ashamed .

Horrible treatment by ER nurses during a recent visit for a skin condition that was inflamed and painful. The triage nurse Sean invaded privacy by taking a picture of my skin rash to “show the doctor “. I have no idea what actually happened with that. The doctor was fine but the nurse Marcus in the back that was assigned to me was hesitant to come near me and when he did, he had a cold demeanor. I saw him once and never again did he check on me. I expected at a minimum blood work to test for a severe allergic reaction to s... read more

This hospital is incompetent! My husband was admitted over a week ago. He is still as sick as when he was admitted for a serious UTI. They have left him in soaked diapers and bed sheets.

Howard County MD is one of the wealthiest counties in the country and this is all they have to offer as a hospital!? What ever you do DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONESVTHERE.!! The next time I, a 100 l... read more

My mother, a 94 yo lady of less than 5' 105 lbs had a partial hip replacement. She was admitted on a Wednesday morning and her surgery was done that evening after 9:00 PM. Because of the Covid19 no family was allowed to visit or give information about her medical condition. I received 2 phone calls in the middle of the night, letting me know the surgery was finished. She stayed in the hospital 2 1/2 days and was discharged on Saturday afternoon. There were no phone calls about caring for her or side effects of her med... read more

I think one star is too much. Doctors, nurses and administrators all have lousy attitude, could not care less no matter how severe your condition is. The worst human beings, if you can call them that, work at that hell hole.
