I'm writing regarding our experience with the hospital itself, not the ER…read more In late August, a family member was involved in a horrific car accident which claimed the life of another family member. The surviving relative was airlifted to the UMC Trauma Center with multiple broken bones, lacerations, contusions, a subdural hematoma and other injuries. I spent almost the entire time at the hospital while this person was in intensive care and then sent to the regular rooms. Our experience was extremely positive. The nurses were, without exception, accommodating, caring, positive, encouraging and attentive. The cleaning staff, meal services staff and other supporting staff were equally great. The social worker assigned to our case was compassionate and helpful and made sure our transition to inpatient physical therapy was as smooth as possible. They did a great job and these are the times when it matters most.

I'm writing because I am extremely upset and honestly disturbed by the care my boyfriend received…read morein your ER on 3/27/26, specifically from a nurse named Emory. When he first arrived, he was asked about allergies and medications he has had adverse reactions to, and he clearly stated droperidol. The staff member even responded back to him about it, which makes it undeniable that this information was heard and acknowledged. Later, while he was already under significant stress being told he might have a bowel obstruction, with staff talking about trauma team involvement, emergency interventions, and an NG tube, he became understandably anxious and asked for something to help calm him down. Instead of being met with any level of reassurance or support, he was met with dismissiveness and visible judgment. Then the nurse came in and administered medication without saying a word about what it was. He had to ask what he was given, and only then was he told it was droperidol; the exact medication he had already stated he has a severe reaction to. He immediately began having an adverse reaction and was in clear distress, and no one took accountability, no one apologized, and no one made any effort to comfort or even acknowledge what had just happened. It took approximately an hour for him to receive anything to counteract the reaction, including Benadryl and Ativan, and during that time he was left to deal with it on his own. That delay, combined with the complete lack of urgency or concern, is unacceptable. Even after he was given medications to counteract the reaction, the lack of monitoring was extremely concerning. He was not being rounded on appropriately, and his respiratory rate on the monitor was ranging from 8-16. I understand that normal respiratory rate is typically 12-20, but sitting in the 8s without anyone coming to check on him is alarming. There was no sense of urgency, no follow-up, and no reassurance during a time when he clearly needed observation. Nurses are typically supposed to round on their patients AT LEAST every hour and nurse Emory failed to do that. On top of that, the overall handling of his case was alarming. Staff were speaking as if this was a life-or-death situation and discussing invasive interventions like an NG tube before even confirming a diagnosis. He ultimately did not have a bowel obstruction and was discharged, which makes it even more concerning how quickly things were escalated without clear justification or appropriate communication. Watching someone I love go through that was incredibly difficult. I am a registered nurse at a different hospital, and while I fully understand the stress and demands of working in healthcare, there is no excuse for what happened here. This was not just a lapse in bedside manner; it was negligent, dismissive, and at times outright rude behavior from the care team.

I never go to the ER unless absolutely necessary. I chose Exceptional due to their ratings and…read morelocation and it did not disappoint! They ran multiple tests, beyond what I had figured they would, trying to find answers for me. They listened to my concerns and actually addressed them instead of dismissing like most Drs/nurses would. They went above and beyond to make me feel safe and heard. Would 10/10 recommend coming here for anything. I will let everyone I know this is the place to go in Lubbock. You get the small town, personal care, with big city medical knowledge.

I went to that hospital and paid my co-pay, just to be told by the doctor "you meet all the requirements for strep" and was sent on my way with antibiotics. The doctor didn't even run simple test like flu or strep. He checked my breathing with his stethoscope, that's it. I then received a $400 bill from my insurance. I will be disputing this. The next day, I was worse and could barely breathe. Since I was worse I had to visit the emergency room, again. I chose to visit Exceptional Community Hospital Lubbock. I highly recommend going to Exceptional. At ECHL, they tested me and I was negative for strep and flu. I ended up having a cat scan was advised I had an Peritonsillar Cellulitis. I was given morphine, antibiotics, and a steroid with advice to follow-up with an ENT. I'm still in treatment, having to see Allergist, ENT, PCP and a GI Specialist. Dr. Roger's and his staff were so friendly, patient and informative. I felt like they really cared. I had a $200 co-pay, which was steep for the unexpected burden on my vacation. I was able to set up a payment arrangement by paying something towards it and waiting for the bill. This relieved additional stress. I honestly feel that this hospital saved my life. Thank you Dr. Roger's and staff!!!!!! Notable: Fast service, caring, knowledgeable, and clean atmosphere.

The food is horrible. I'm not sure who does their dietary planning but they clearly don't know what they're doing.

The dr. Entered her room with a finance person and stated 'this is not an emergency' and he wouldn't treat her until she handed over her credit card and paid $200. The dr. Gave her more bogus meds. 12 hours later she was admitted to UMC for FIVE DAYS!! So much for not being an emergency. And to come at a 21 year old kid demanding money who is very sick AND has great insurance that does NOT require a co-pay is a JERK move. Save yourself and go somewhere else.

I had my baby around 3:00 in the morning and a lady from billing came in around 7:00 AM demanding a payment or we would have to pay a huge price (we were cash pay and didn't have insurance) i was still drugged and loopy from the medication they gave me for my C-section and I told her that . I told her we would pay them but to come at a later time when I'm in a state where I can fully understand what's going on or she can wait for my husband to gets back from and she said "no I don't have time to wait and need to collect now or you will be paying a huge fee " I told her she can wait if she needs the money that bad... my husband eventually came back from talking to family in the lobby and handled the situation, I asked if we could make payments and she said yes but we no longer got a discounted price and we were going to have to pay triple to quadruple the discounted price that's a huge jump and I'm not shocked she couldn't tell me that price upfront. (How are you going to demand $ but not know all the details????) Demanding money like that was very distasteful especially considering my mental state not being in a good state due to the medication... the lady was extremely rude about me asking to wait for my husband. Wish I could give a bigger rating for my nurses and Dr but the billing department made that experience terrible
