To be clear, this rating is not for the hospital, but for the ER department at Bethesda North. The incompetence of the staff there nearly got my husband killed. I drove him to the ER for severe pain. They said they would give him some medicine at home, and an injection for pain while he was there. If I had known anything about this pain shot (Dilaudid) at the time, I would NOT have let them give it to him. Here’s what happened: They didn’t check his medications for interactions, despite us giving them a physical list. Had in... read more

The emergency room employees are very uncompassionate and cold hearted. I went there in severe pain, by the request of my doctor. I asked that I have a place to lay down ASAP, as standing and sitting was very uncomfortable. When I was brought to the back from the waiting room they put me in a chair, in the hallway, with no privacy and called it a room. I again requested a bed and was ignored. When the emergency room doc came to talk to me, he said all he could do was give me pain pills and send me home. I asked for a CAT sca... read more

To deal with Nothesda North just like to deal with IRS – Bethesda North ignorance and irresponsible made me suffer 30 hr hunger and wasted 2 sick days. The most important things for them "Do you have insurance?" and "What and where are they? Show me!" I was scheduled to have a colonoscopy test on July 22 Friday afternoon. Without having food for 30 hrs, I arrived at 1:30 pm, later, I found out my appointment was 4 (hospital phone pre-register personel told me to arrive at 1:30) and doctor would delay 1 hr. At 5, the Bethesda... read more

Troubled Hospital, – I can not believe the lack of attention shown to my wife. At the request of a resident OB my wife was sceduled for blood drawn to check her hcg level. She is loosing her baby and yet her hcg level is rising. (Possible epitopic pregnancy.) Should she have this and it burst it could be very dangerous. For two hours the receptionist at the Lab could not find the perscription. She finally sent my wife home saying "sorry we are closed." She came home to me crying. So me being the "husband calls the ER. Eventi... read more

Best Hospital Ever – I have delivered both my daughters at Bethesda North and couldn't be happier about my experiences. I have also had gallbladder surgery there, my son has gone to the ER and my husband has had procedures done there, all our experiences were excellent ones. My youngest daughter, only 5 months currently, spent 9 days in their Special Care Nursery (NICU) because she was 3 weeks early and her lungs were not ready, she wasn't getting oxygen and she quickly developed pneumonia. We couldn't be more pleased with t... read more

Bethesda North is awful – My daughter was just born in bethesda north. however, i do not like this hospital at all. 1) the mother / baby unit is awfully tiny and really uncomfortable. 2) vaccine and lab test were not done right after the doctor order. instead, they waited right before we were discharged. 3) bad air condition. The baby and I kept sneezing in the room.

Horrible Service – When I came into the ER at Bethesda North I expected to be well taken care of because I was having chest pains and trouble breathing. They paraded me out into the ER in a hospital gown and sat me in a chair by the nurses station. The nurse set up the blood pressure cuff but did not start it. She went running away, came back and went to take the cuff off. I told her it never started so she set it up again. She did this 3 times with the same exact results!!! Once they took me to a room a nurse came to hook u... read more

Absolutely Terrible ... – I delivered by daughter at this hospital, she quickly developed a hospital-caused infection. The nurses who had been checking my cervix during labor must not have washed their hands first, because they introduced a gram positive bacillus bacteria into the amniotic fluid (my water was already broken) which got into my baby's lungs and caused severe sepsis after delivery. The bacteria was NOT one found normally in the human body (I didn't have it or carry it) - it was hospital acquired by nurses with ... read more
