Subject: Outstanding Emergency Care at Exeter Hospital…read more On Christmas Eve, my wife became suddenly ill while we were attending a family dinner at our daughter's home in Kensington, New Hampshire. She became unresponsive, and we immediately called an ambulance, which transported her to Exeter Hospital. From the moment she arrived, she was taken directly into the emergency room, placed in a bed, and attended to without delay. The nurses and attendants were calm, professional, and compassionate, and they clearly explained to our family what they were doing and what tests would be performed. The physician examined her promptly and ordered a full series of tests. Once the test results were available, the doctor came in to explain the findings. By that time, my wife had begun to regain responsiveness and improve. The doctors determined that the cause was dehydration, started her on IV fluids, and continued to monitor her closely. After about five and a half hours, she was discharged--still a bit weak, but almost completely back to normal. I cannot say enough about the quality of care we received. The doctors, nurses, and staff were extremely considerate, reassuring, and kept us informed every step of the way. We were comforted by their confidence and professionalism, and by their belief that she would make a full recovery. The facility itself was clean, well lit, efficient, and very pleasant--especially important during a stressful emergency situation. Everything about the experience reflected a well-run, compassionate hospital. I want to sincerely thank the nurses, doctors, and entire Exeter Hospital staff for their outstanding response and excellent care. We are deeply grateful. Charlie S

My CORE physician said these things usually clear up in a couple of weeks and go to Physical Therapy. After a couple of weeks there was no change. I went to EH PT with severe back spasms whenever trying to lie supine. Physical therapist had me do some movements and then required me to lie flat so "I could describe what I was experiencing." Told him I didn' t think I could do that because of the pain and I could describe it without demonstrating. He insisted on a demonstration. So I did. Had severe spasms and accompanying pain. (Looked roughly like a worm tossed on a hot pan.) He had me get up under my own power -- again excruciating. Then prescribed at-home exercises including bending from the waist, twisting side to side, lifting light weights with shoulder shrugs. Which I did (stupidly.) Another two weeks later, no improvement and have been sleeping upright in a chair for more than a month at this point. Finally smartened up and made an appt. with the osteopaths upstairs for an evaluation. First thing ordered was an x-ray. Ten minutes later back in the exam room looking at a vertebra compression fracture, the cause of the symptoms. Doc said absolutely do not do any stretching, bending, twisting, lifting. Cold cause further compression on your at 50 percent now. Prescribed immobilizing back brace for approx 12 weeks. Fortunately surgery was not required. I had previously heard that EH physical therapy had a bad reputation. I'm a sample of just one case, but I'll add my voice to that view. And, in addition to exactly the wrong advice and negligence of basic diagnostic protocol, the therapist was rude. I had the temerity to ask if massage might help. His curt response, "I'm not a masseuse, sir." Not an answer to what I was asking, but, from empirical evidence, he was accurate at least on that count. If he did perform massage I think he would have been a masseur, not a masseuse. Bottomline -- dangerous advice that could have worsened my injury from someone who should know much better coupled with confrontational communication. Amazing. I called the patient relations coordinator three times asking for a call back to discuss. Never got a call. At least the food service soup in the cafeteria is edible.

I was told I need to go through my CORE PCP and have her fax all my records to them but even so, they don't treat my condition. I need to resume Orencia infusions asap, but was told that no one in the ENTIRE group would see me and they do not treat EOA or idiopathic types. I am in intense pain and just cannot move back to ATL right now - I've only been here 3 months, and navigating the system up here is a nightmare. My PCP said I needed to have ATL fax them the records and would not help me at all. All my records are on MyChart at an ATL hosptial which I attached to the BIL MyChart. All they had to do is look at them. It is a shame because I really like Dr. Mihata, my new endocrinologist, but the rest of these "providers" are terrible. Thumbs down.

However, in July 2025 Dr Renee Lynch gave me a prescription. I ordered glasses online from glassesusa. Result: bad right lens. Eyesight optitian verified lens was correct. Rescheduled with Dr Lynch however, appointment not needed because online chat bot implied Dr Lynch put the wrong number in the Axis for right eye and they would give me a new prescription. I got new July '25 prescription with correct Axis for distance. When I asked for the Progressive version of the same prescription they gave me a copy of the prescription that dr Lynch did back in 2024. After communicating with them to get this situation corrected I suspect that their voice mail to chat log system is a cumbersome, impersonal obstacle to good communication. And for the past two days when I press 7 on their answering machine it goes back to the beginning menu. I suspect that the eyesight of the Eyesight CEO needs to be refocused. A simple apology from Dr Lynch would be a good place to start.

Her and her staff were supportive pre-op but the morning of the surgery I felt like I was a nuisance when she came to see me. Despite our conversations she asked, so what size are we going for today? I was under the impression that a surgeon on staff at the hospital would be highly vetted but that is not the case. The result was lopsidedness, ropey scarring, misalignment of breasts and nipples, and when I voiced my concerns, both the staff and her were dismissive and tried to tell me it was because I wasn't taking care of my incisions. Despite buying everything out there and doing massage routines several times a day. Blaming the patient seems to be their main method of dealing with patient concerns based on reading reviews about her on several different sites. But based on logic, there's no amount of rubbing oil on my skin that can make my nipples the same color or realign them or make both of my breasts the same size again. During my follow-up appointments with my cancer surgeon, she honestly gasped the first time she saw the results. She was obviously very upset and told me I should approach the hospital. I have no intention of going under the knife again and it has been 5 years. I wouldn't trust Dr Marble to take a splinter out of my finger. I hope no one else who reads this does either.
