I am 38 years old, an active-duty service member of 18 years, and someone who has seen some truly harrowing things. After losing my husband to stage IV cancer in late 2024 following a 20-month battle, I've been in hospitals all over the world. Beebe is, without question, one of the very best. My father is my favorite human on this earth. When he suffered an LAD heart attack, a type of event that rarely gives families a second chance, the Emergency Department, Cardiac team, and ICU nurses not only saved his life, they saved me from enduring another truly gutting loss. I will never forget that. A "thank you" feels impossibly small compared to what you gave us, but it is what I have to offer today. From my family to yours, happy holidays. I wish nothing but the absolute best for everyone working there read more

Beebe Pulmonary- unresponsiveness is not acceptable, calling several times, leaving a message and still not receiving a call to schedule a new patient appointment. Gave the office all info they asked for and last communication was from Brenda on April 16, at 2:25 pm. I missed her call and when I called back the person answering the phone said she was unavailable, took my name and number and I never heard back from Dr. Arias office. It is now May 21, 2026. It seems the whole Pulmonary team in Lewes has an attitude that they will pick and choose when and who they call back. Jean Hanley - Millville, DE read more

My family has had two devastating experiences at Beebe Hospital. Both my grandfather and now my grandmother passed away there, and our trust in this hospital has been deeply affected. My grandmother had known heart problems, yet our family felt she was given an overwhelming amount of medications and painkillers during her stay. After only three nights in the hospital, we were told she went into cardiac arrest while being bathed. The entire situation was shocking, traumatic, and extremely difficult for our family to process. What hurts me personally is that I tried calling my grandmother every single day while she was in the hospital, and not once was I connected with her. I wasn't even given the opportunity to speak to her while she listened on the phone. I will never get that time back, and that has been heartbreaking to live with. We left feeling unheard, confused, and with serious concerns about the level of care and communication provided. I would not recommend this hospital based on my family's experiences. read more

Very efficient and friendly. Love them. Love being able to have a set time. My veins are horrible but they always get it done with very little pain. read more

I've received excellent and cheerful care from the doctors, nurses and staff at Beebe. Their Emergency Dept care is terrific and attentive. I've received great care at their primary care, dermatology, GI and Emergency Department. My only concern is that I wish their implementation of EPIC MyChart would allow more online scheduling. I have to call and sit on hold to make every appointment, which is not what I've experienced with other hospitals using MyChart. read more

The Emotional Cost of Being Ignored After a Brain Injury I survived something most people don't. A Glasgow 3 coma An anoxic brain injury so severe, I was barely expected to live -- let alone function. But I came back. And instead of being supported, I was dismissed. Treated like a case that wasn't worth following up on. Brushed off. Misunderstood. Labeled. For years, I tried to explain something was wrong. I begged for help. I shared my history. I said the words "brain injury," "coma," "anoxic damage" -- and was met with blank stares or cold indifference. I wasn't just neglected -- I was gaslit. Made to feel like I was dramatic, overreacting, or imagining things. Meanwhile, my brain was screaming for help. That kind of invalidation? It breaks something inside you. You start to question your reality. You start to feel crazy -- not because you are, but because you're being ignored in plain sight. By the time the truth finally came out -- in an MRI ordered a decade too late -- it was already too late to undo the damage. What I'd been saying all along was confirmed. The emotional weight of carrying this for years with no validation, no support, and no answers is crushing. This review isn't about revenge. It's about accountability. Because no one should have to fight this hard just to be heard. read more

Beebe Healthcare - 2015 hospital record - Medical Centers Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Exceptional care and a positive hospital experience! I was a little concerned about going to Beebe Hospital in Lewes because of its 2.7 rating, but my experience could not have been more positive. I needed unexpected orthopedic surgery after a fall, and the level of care I received from start to finish was outstanding. The ER was efficient, and I didn't wait long to be admitted. They quickly determined I needed surgery and also discovered I had a loud heart murmur. I was impressed that they were so thorough and wouldn't proceed with anesthesia until cardiology had cleared me. That level of caution and attention gave me great confidence. I was very fortunate that Beebe brought in Dr. Gita Pillai, a top-notch orthopedic surgeon, to perform my surgery. She was able to do an internal fixation rather than a hip replacement, and I am thrilled with the outcome. My recovery so far has been excellent. The OR staff and anesthesiologist were wonderful--professional, compassionate, and reassuring. On the 5th Floor Orthopedics unit, the nursing staff was phenomenal. Special thanks to Lisa, Tyler, Maria, and Emonya for their outstanding care. I also want to recognize PT Brenda and OT Heidi, who exceeded my expectations in helping me begin recovery. Overall, Beebe Hospital delivered exceptional care when I needed it most, and I am incredibly grateful to the entire team. read more

I just cannot grasp the attitude of floor head nurses, nursing heads, security, and especially billing. These individual are so overwhelmed with the self-important and power hungry demeanor that patients are corralled into one single classification and not as individuals. The hospital was hit with a huge multi-billion dollar lawsuit in the negligence of one patient that was not strapped in, fell out of bed and died, that the rest of us under their care are not treated based on our individuality and specific situation. I am not the same as an 87 year old patient! The floor nurse in the cardiac care unit was a bully...nasty and based on how the staff behaved around her, fearful. Awful people here, and that I blame on the executives and managers that run this horrible place. Now, not everyone is an asshole. A good number of the nurses are attentive, caring, and supportive. There are tenured individual that need to be replaced. They are miserable people. I am a distance, but not as far to Tidal Health on Salisbury, MD. I'd much rather go there. I've obtained a Cardiologist at Tidal Health already. read more

My doctor is 5 star, but to me, Beebe could care less about their customers. There is only about a dozen people answering the phone for over 100 doctors. I waited on the phone many times over a half hour to speak to someone before I hung up. The phone does not ring at the doctors office and is answered by the small group I mentioned. Then it's whisper down the line to get a message to my doctors office. The is beyond poor. From what I see is the Beebe is understaffed with doctors, nurses and support personnel. The board of directors is very top heavy and nothing gets done. Doctors are leaving and Beebe doesn't care. I have had good experiences with some doctors like my primary, but I think Beebe is killing them with again, beyond poor customer service. WAKE UP BEEBE!!!!!! read more

Was an inpatient for noro virus and received excellent care. Spent 4 days there and they really care about their patients

Update- Sept 12, 2025 In fact if you are single you must pay out of pocket $3000 before the health insurance covers anything. If you are family you must pay out of pocket $6000 before the insurance pays anything. Think about this- paying a tad over $600 a month equals $7,200 for the year and on top of that you either pay $3,000 or $6,000 more. That's a crime!!!!!!! Like I said - how can a normal worker that gets paid about if not under $55,000 survive paying for insurance $10,200 or $13,200 from your already small wages. Sad. Please ask many questions cause you will suffer!!!!!! Looking to write a review of their health insurance for employees. It is insane how much out of pocket one needs to pay out!!!! We moved here and of course I get sick, all women get bladder and yeast infections and let me tell you this- you can't ever get sick. Their health care is only a discount insurance as in I went to the closest urgent care and they told me I had a $40 dollar copay. I was like wow this is good lol. Jokes on me! a week later we got a bill that the insurance didn't cover the labs. That was $146 - not to bad but many of us get this issue multiple times a year. Welp after taking the pills I still didn't feel well and the one place was closed so I went to tidal health. A $50 co pay and a couple weeks later owe over $800 due to the insurance didn't pay anything at all Plus tidal health didn't help me either Claimed I just had spasm. Waited a few weeks and my back starts to hurt went to an actual Beebe walkin thats 30 mins away. Again a $40 copay and of course I needed pills but again in a couple weeks I got over $400 bill and it was THEIR FACILITY!!!!! If you are a person that needs to get help to stay healthy i would say go somewhere else cause before i knew it i racked up over a thousand dollars in 2 months time!!!!! and we just moved here. Their insurance is CRAP!!!!! If I would have known that we would have never moved here in the first place! My partner got the job and welp they don't go over the health insurance like many years ago they would explain what it pays and doesn't. So now we will be in debt and wont be able to get out at all. My partner pays over $600 a month for two of us and it doesn't even cover eye. It's supposed to but I submitted the form and because it wasn't my partner that I got denied. So if you are young and healthy than go work for them but if you do get sick seek a job elsewhere. My partner told me the coworkers go to beebe facilities and never got a bill but found out since they went to the doctors they all got a huge bill. How can a hospital have such crap insurance is beyond me. We left a place that we both were covered very well for crap insurance. You are warned!!!!!! I am scared to make a dentist appt. due to most likely this crap insurance won't pay a dime. It's like they want you to die cause no place pays well enough to cover the out of pocket costs. If you are over 50 please don't even think about it. I don't know how the other hospitals insurances are but this is way worse than Wellspan hospitals insurance!!!!!!!!! oh btw when I went to the Beebe walk in, the doctor claimed my range was normal. SMH. They don't know me at all. I can not have any blood in my urine due to my body has a fit and if left untreated will go right into my kidney which where we were, they knew me. Not everyone is from a cookie cutter. Wish doctors understood such but here we are still playing the "it's acceptable card" that's also BS. I hope I don't get sick for a long time. The next move we done is I told my partner to take the bill in (the one from their walk-in) to see what they say. If we are stuck welp we can't have crap insurance. I hate to see if I got really sick, I bet my bill would be in the $20,000 plus range. Who the hell can afford such????? No one is that rich at all and if they are they are a common worker that's for sure!!!! I will update once we find out what the HR says about the bill. It most likely will take a week or two maybe. Crossing fingers there's a mistake but I don't think so. read more

I suffered a stroke and was taken to the Beebe ER, kept overnight in their hospital and received follow up PT at Beebe. The treatment that I received was excellent at every stage. I was not rushed, all my questions were answered and the staff was top notch. They have my complete trust and confidence. read more

To start with the care was wonderful But, THE ROOMS on the 3rd floor were horrendous. They were dirty, the sinks and the floors were filthy. The room I was transfered to from the 2nd floor to the 3rd had just the bed changed nothing was wiped down before I came in. The bathroom had a used tolit catch with pee still in it. Nothing was wiped down( TV, remote or floor) the hallway was filthy. I don't understand when we live in the richescounty in DE. These rooms haven't been updated. Can't wait to go home and throw all my stuff out. You all should be ashamed. read more

My husband has been a patient at Bebee Medical for YEARS. Suddenly, he gets hung up on after being on hold for an hour. He wasn't even able to send a message via the portal; the option was NOT available. This is very piss poor and then to be charged shit loads of $$. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Not to mention, he NEVER got notice that his doctor is leaving the practice. What kind of pizza joint is this place running? At least have the message center answer calls that the office can't answer to alleviate the backlog of calls...How about we start charging them a fee for OUR time wasted trying to make an appointment and/or getting our prescription(s) filled?! read more

Beebe Heartburn Center, Dr Schilli, enncouraged me to have the Bravo test done. His consultation was 800.00, the procedure itself was 7,000.00. After the test, I was told that Dr Schilli had no appointments available for me to go over the results of the test because he was in the office only once a month and a couple of doctors had left the practice. They could not schedule me to meet with him to go over the results, which I did not understand but had the results mailed to me. I let it go and chalked it up to a lousy Dr. Recently I received a bill for Dr Schilli amount due 114.00. I've already paid 1400.00 for basically nothing. read more

Called Beebe on 1/7/24 for a stat ultra sound needed. Beebe could not handle it, have script, insurance, order, Doctors request! Stat! No Go for Beebe!! Not Meeting Communities Health Care Needs. I guess that's why their Brand New Hospital has a 2.5 rating!! read more

With regards to the clinic in Millsboro, I give 1/2 star on your 2 1/2 rating. My health issue was grossly overlooked and not properly treated. The NP was arrogant and refused to listen or understand my health history and would not provide the proper diagnostics to provide the correct treatment of meds. There was NO quality of care. read more

Colostomy. Had this done last week of 2021. While in recovery I complained that the tops of my legs were numb. All the docs I saw said it would come back. Took a year but now had pain on sides of upper legs. Also had a reaction to the anesthesia and ended up being there one month. Been to physical therapy and didn't help.. have to take short steps and feel clumsy at times. Don't know where to go from here. No one seems to have an answer. Reluctant to go walking as I have no stamina any more. Can't eat fiber. Fruits . vegetables. Any dairy products. Developed bowel incontenance from this whole mess read more

Beebe Healthcare - Medical Centers Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Service at their locations is so-so to good. Their billing is HORRIBLE. Our insurance covered basic imagery for my wife and we received our payment confirmation of benefits from the insurance company. We have received SEVERAL letters from Beebe saying they haven't received payment even after five different phone calls and providing information that the beebe employee advised us to send, INCLUDING which account the insurance was deposited in. Our last letter said they were sending us to collections. It's like there no communication between people there. I've never seen such a failure in all the time we have had insurance. read more

Very unhappy with the care that Beebe "provides". Not speaking of the professionals (e.g. Drs, FNPs, Nursing staff, etc.). Speaking of the vast inefficiency in and between the various practices, at the walk in centers, etc. They've clearly reached a level of incompetency that is alarming. I wrote a heartfelt long letter to the CEO explaining four huge issues I have encountered over the last year, some aggravating (like scheduling, as everyone is complaining about) to horrible attitudes by some, not all of the staff, to poor care, long waits for care even if an emergency (over 90 days to get an emergency appointment with a pulmonologist), etc. Received back a canned reply (certainly by a paid replier), 40 words including misspelling, stating "thanks for the email, we're trying, sorry for your poor experience, Stay safe". The same way every poor review on Google and Yelp has the exact same canned response. Should be one star only but raised it to two stars as some of the Beebe professional staff really try to provide good care, despite the problems that agree exist (they will say in confidence). We've decided to move our care to more professional systems. There is a lot of new competition coming to lower Delaware. read more

Billing is horrible. I was in a motor vehicle accident in July and gave them all my claim information. Every month I received a bill and I would call again to give them all the information they needed. About 5 phone calls and 6 months later I received a notice from a collections agency. I contacted insurance and they have in record that it was covered and the auto insurance paid in full with zero balance. What is Beebe charging me for why do all their billing employees have zero communication with each other. read more

I took my husband into the hospital because he had a swollen knee by the time I had gotten which is literally 15 minutes from my house he had infection through his entire lower part of his right leg. I pretty sure it's Marissa. They took him in a immediately he was seen immediately the doctor came in. They did bloodwork on him, took him to a room intervenous antibiotics, in an instant, they had everything under control the way it should've been done. I would give them a five star rating with no hesitation....... read more

If you have a family member who can't advocate for themselves, I would avoid Beebe Hospital. The care seems good but the doctors do not communicate anything that's going on. Its pulling teeth to find out anything about my family members care while she's been there. She's been here before and had the same failure to communicate every time. We usually don't hear from a doctor until discharge no matter how many times we ask for someone to talk to us about what they've found or what treatment they have done. Totally Unacceptable. read more

Our 3 year was running a very high fever 105.5 degrees at 830pm 05/31/2022. We took her to the ER. Spent 7 hours there, a bunch of tests later, swabs for flu, RSV, covid, strep X-rays, blood draws all negative, and they checked and confirmed, ears and lungs clear, diagnosed common cold, gave her a Motrin and sent her home. Fever still high 103+ this morning, took her to a follow up with her pediatrician, not part of this business. Within minutes confirmed ear infection in one ear. How can a medical doctor and nurses not know how to spot an ear infection? We felt scammed. It is costly, dangerous and should be illegal for this. Insurance companies should look hard at this company too. Our poor daughter has been in pain for at least 12 hours more than needed and to top it off, her fever spiked to 106.8 while we waited for her antibiotics to be filled today 6/1/2022. To follow up with the noted comment below, I had already submitted a form on the site 6/1/2022. and haven't heard back. I will call the number provided. To update the review, when we requested the lab results, they suggested clearly a bacterial infection and cold, and even indicated a UTI as another source of possible infection. I guess 1 out of 3 isn't bad? read more

This review is for the cardiologist department and their TAVR procedure. This post is being written due the sadness, anger and overall lack of concern by the staff for my Mom's TAVR procedure on 4/12/2021. It is to a combination of occurrences. One is the basket not being used (have copies of the surgery records) which collects particles to avoid a stroke. The other and most upsetting is the lack of concern when my sister approached the nursing staff as my Mom was in recovery that something was not right when The nurse (will not use her name from the records) said she was just agitated and gave her Benadryl. My sister knew something was not right but was told to go home and they would call later. The later call was that my Mom had a major stroke. It was awful. She was transported to Thomas Jefferson by helicopter only to be told upon arrival it was a full stoke and nothing could be done. My Mom had to live her last 2 years of her life in a nursing home with no use of her body. We tried to comfort her as much as we could and enjoy the time we had with her. There were no phone calls from the TAVR surgeon or the nurses ever. We only heard from the BeeBee neurologist who confirmed the stroke after the nurse called him 2 hours after the procedure. In addition, we hope my Mom was not included the BeeBee article about the 100th TVAR procedure conducted (nothing about successful procedures in this article just a number). My mom's was not successful. Do consider other hospitals even out of State who offer TAVR. read more

Not happy with the lousy diagnostic tools they use. Refused to test my fiancé for an illness although she was sick - fever 103, headaches, body aches, chills for 6 weeks. Then on the 6th try a doctor finally ran more bloodwork and told her what she had based on antibodies (after 2 visits to the ER and 3 visits to PCP.) When my fiancé told the customer service rep she said "that doesn't mean you had it recently, it may have had it in the past" totally gaslighting her! read more

Had to go to BEEBE hospital for EMERGENCY kidney stone surgery. My wife and I were from out of town visiting we didn't know where to go so we just went to closest hospital. After the surgery I was admitted to the hospital. As the night progressed, I was developing pain again every time I tried to urinate, I told the night nurse all she would keep telling me was stop pushing and drink more water. after shift change, I told the new nurse she did a kidney scan right away and told me I was full......UNDERSTATEMENT, she gave me a catheter I filled 2 bed urinals before I was finished....I never felt so much better. There were many more problems I have just highlighted. my suggestion to anyone needing medical attention...DONT GO THERE! ....... Also, when I received a call for my review from the hospital I explained my concerns with the medical help, lol...... I was told, "well it is hard to get good help in a small beach town". read more

I brang my wife to the new facility in Millville for a backache, the doctor never touched her but determined that she would need a CT scan, nothing else. Doctor seemed fresh out of school. but before the results from the scan were back, they were already prescribing muscle relaxers and steroids.The reason I am writing this is because we were charged over $3,600 for the unnecessary scan, I think that is criminal for any one to have to pay that ridiculously inflated price, I intend to have this looked into, when this happens you just avoid medical treatment at all cost, and I think it is taught to those hospital workers to push these unnecessary procedure. read more

The health care in lower slower Delaware is Atrocious. My wife had lower back pain and decided to go to a near by 24 hour emergency facility. They couldn't diagnose what was wrong with her so they sent her to the emergency room at Bebe. After waiting several hours to be seen at Beebe they took her back and ran several test and still couldn't diagnose the problem and sent her on her way and told her to see her Primary care doctor. Even though my wife was in sever pain. We drove to Annapolis the next day to see her primary care doctor and was immediately diagnosed with shingles. They gave her medication and we were on our way. Several weeks later Beebe health care had the audacity to send us a bill for $4500 for the emergency medical visit along with an additional bill for $900 from a doctor that she never even saw. Fortunately we had insurance that covered about 50%. Not only does this place provide poor medical care, but they are gouging the public. Stay away! read more

My experience at the emergency department here was a good one. I was driving down to Delaware from Long Island, New York for a Bachelorette Party and was 15 minutes from my destination. I was stopped at a Red Light and got rear-ended by a truck. I wanted to get checked out by a medical professional to be on the safe side as I encountered some legitimate whiplash so the cop suggested I go to Beebe as it was the closest medical facility to me at the time of the accident. I came in through the emergency department and the woman at the front desk couldn't have been nicer. There were only two other people in the waiting area and I was called into triage within 5 minutes of waiting. The triage nurse was very nice and got me in the back shortly after her assessment. There were no available rooms so I was placed on a stretcher in the hallway. Zero privacy but this is pretty typical for emergency rooms. Within 15 minutes a provider was at the bedside asking me what had happened. She was nice and suggested a CT of my head and neck to err on the side of caution. Despite all the radiation associated with a CT, I think taking every precaution to ensure nothing is wrong is ultimately the best way to go, especially when it comes down to injuries of the head and neck. Getting into CT took some time, but the nurse manager was making rounds, checking on all of the patients to make sure they were receiving good care and didn't have any needs or wants. I have never seen this before in an emergency room. Either the staff had some serious downtime or this is common practice for the nurse manager. I thought this was really great. The nurse manager asked me what I was waiting on and when I told her a cat scan, she walked away to get more information and came back within 10 minutes to let me know I was next for CT and it would be a short wait. I thought this face to face communication was really great. She made what could have been a really frustrating experience a better one. I should have been on the beach with my girlfriends with a glass of champagne in my hand toasting to the bride but instead I was stuck in the emergency room because the guy who hit me wasn't paying attention. The kind nursing staff and medical staff made my experience so much better than it could have been. Even the woman from the business office who came by to get signatures and insurance information was lovely. The CT staff was nice enough, but didn't seem nearly as knowledgable as they could have been. For example, the woman didn't cover me with any radiology shields which was a bit concerning to me. I"m not sure if that's something they are supposed to do or not but I would have really appreciated them covering my abdomen and lower organs. Also, she told me to lay down the table but didn't ask me to take any of my earring out or necklaces off. I had to ask about them and then she said, "Oh yeah, take them off." Also, a urine pregnancy test should be done and resulted before a cat scan is done, but this tech wasn't concerned about that and that bothered me as well. The CT was quick, the scans were read within 45 minutes or so of having the test and I was out of there shortly after. I think I was in the emergency department less than 2 hours. Overall the experience was good enough. It can be scary having an unplanned emergency in a place you know nothing about. One thing that I didn't like was that as I was sitting on the stretcher in the hallway, I overheard nursing staff talking about patient that arrived who was on airborne precautions. Shortly after, I saw nurses running to get masks and moments after that I overheard that the patient had TB. It made me uncomfortable. I didn't know where this patient was, I didn't know if I needed a mask. Other nurses didn't seem to care and were walking around the halls without one so I figured I was okay but it made me uneasy. read more
