Just had heart cathe with a stint put in. Dr Inke and the nurses that helped with me during the procedure were awesome.

This is a message about what I thought of my stay here. I have gotten better care of taking care of myself when I have the flu. When I first got here, without explaining anything, stripped me down to nothing and just had me lay there, like a piece of meat, and took my clothes without asking if I want to keep anything and kept staying around my private areas. Then, I have anxiety, and I asked for my medication, Fluoxetine/Prozac, and I never received it. Then they kept trying to swab my private area, and it was completely unnecessary as to why I was here. Also, they kept trying to take my weight and write it on a board for display and I asked that's what you're going to do then you're not getting my weight so I wouldn't let her have it. Also, I had an accident in the bathroom and asked if it could get cleaned up, and that never happened. Lastly, why would a nurse take a blanket off a patient's bed and put it across the room? Is this the kind of sensitivity training you give your people? read more

I seen Dr. Ranganathan who is supposed to be a board certified neurologist. I think he isn't even a real doctor. He appears to have memory problems, can't even understand what he's even saying. orders too many unnecessary tests and medication. I will not be going back. I do not recommend this doctor at all. read more

It is absolutely absurd that only 3 people can be in a room at the birthing center. We had one 4 people, both moms, dad and the the babies dad. They continuously made one us leave the room. Why?? I get the fact you don't want a room full of people but we were all sitting on the couch not taking any more room than the couch itself. Instead, they kept running someone out of the room interrupting our families time together while we awaitbour granddaughter. We we told it was so the mother and baby didn't get anxiety. The only thing giving them anxiety was having to see only one of the family members not able to stay and enjoy their time. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! Two big thumbs down for me on the lack of family respect. read more

I first came to Lima Memorial Hospital back in mid-December because my mother was having surgery for her breast cancer. After first meeting with some of her doctors prior to surgery at the Women's Health Clinic that day, my brother and I drove her to the hospital. The hospital is going thru some renovations, as this hospital is over 100 years old and in continuing operation, but even with this going on it super easy to navigate in here. We came in through the doors where my brother and I first had to check in as visitors. It was a very quick process, 5 minutes to scan our licenses, take our temp and give us a visitor sticker with our picture on it. Then we took our mom to patient check in, a few minutes there. We got her on a wheelchair and we were given easy instructions on how to get to surgery. Essentially, they put green hexagons on the floor, if you follow it, you will easily get to surgery. I thought this was brilliant as it was a long way to surgery and it would be easy to get lost in here. Once we go to surgery, we checked in with the nurses station at the surgery center where we were taken to a room. It was a large room, comfortable and private. Certainly not used to private rooms in Miami, FL... so this was a plus. We could stay in the room with our mom until she would be wheeled into surgery. The nurses were all friendly, kind and super helpful. They tried really hard to keep my mothers and our spirits up... because I can say myself... i was scared. I particularly remember one nurse who like us was originally from outside of Ohio... except she was from New Jersey. She was hilarious, helped cut the tension and stress in the room and even gave us some ideas on places to eat in nearby towns. This wasn't the only way they tried to cut through the stress, the hospital also employs therapy dogs to bring smile to the faces of both patients and families. Bailey, a miniature Australian Shepherd came into the room with her handler to try to bring good cheer. Once my mother was wheeled into surgery, my brother and I decided to get some food as we were told it would be a while as there was a surgery ahead of my mother. This is where we found the one negative of this hospital: the dreaded hospital cafeteria. Hospital cafeterias have a notorious reputation for killing taste... and i can tell you when we walked in and saw the food... we just walked out. We ended up eating at a local fast food place near the hospital and then came back. The hospital surgery waiting room is comfortable and quite large. There were three families in there, outside of our own and we barely took any space. Besides some televisions to entertain the families, there is also a large status screen where u can track how far along the surgery your family member/loved one is in the surgery... that way you do not have to ask a nurse. Eventually, i got a call from the surgeon, who said he was finished with the surgery from my mother. That is where I was given some very hard news. He had extracted some of the lymph nodes near the cancer in her breast and said that in his experience they did not look right. He strongly believed that the cancer has spread outside of her breast. He said we would know for sure once the test results were in the week later (he was right). When i heard the news i had to tell my brother... who also took it hard. I felt sick to my stomach and eventually found my way to the surgery area chapel near the waiting room. I am glad they had it there... i certainly needed a quiet, dark and peaceful place I can be in for a while. I have since come back several times as her oncologist is in the offices located within the hospital. My family has a long journey ahead... Cancer sucks. That said, this hospital is amazing and I am thankful for all the work the doctors, nurses and staff have provided to my family. read more

See all

Excessive and extra room charges because my doctor's office is on the campus of the hospital.

The Staff here is OUTSTANDING! From the minute we walked in the doors to register for surgery greeted warmly & with a smile. These peeps have a wonderfully stream line process for intake. We went through it with ease and NO STRESS. Pre-Op to Post-Op stellar care! The men and women at this facility go above and beyond! read more

I brought my girlfriend to the ER here and we left more confused and stressed than we were when we came. If you're having some sort of issue that doesn't require immediate attention it would be tremendously more beneficial to drive the extra miles to a different hospital. My girlfriend and I are young college students and from the start of our visit it felt like we were neither respected or listened to. They didn't explain the tests they were running and when her charts came back normal, they dismissed us from the hospital saying that everything was fine. Everything was not fine. Her problem has continued with no answers and no advice for how to deal with it. We now have to pay for another trip to a different ER that will give us any emotional or physical support and guidance. On top of the lack of help, there were only 1-2 employees who were even remotely nice. We are both extremely disappointed in this hospital. Avoid it if you can. read more
