I took my husband to the Emergency Room around 8:30 Saturday morning (18 Apr 2026) since he was acting strange. Within 2 or 3 minutes the ER Dr. was examining him and immediately took him back for treatment. This Doctor was so kind and worked rapidly to get Jim stabilized. After several tests, the last being an MRI, we learned he had suffered with a mini stroke. That first day was a long one and he had a 2nd episode while being treated by a wonderful nurse, Teresa Wilkes. She stayed with him for several hours and got him through a rough time and continued to care for him on Sunday. He has back problems and she had a recliner brought in for him. That made him so much more comfortable. On Monday, 2 different nurses took care of him - Eliza Sanspury & Ashley Birkett. They were wonderful caring nurses as well. Very cheery and efficient. We were also impressed with Dr. Wang. He spent a lot of time with us explaining what had happened to Jim and helped us understand what the best treatment plan was for him. The entire experience for that 3 days was wonderful. We felt that we got the best possible CARE at this Hospital! read more

Honestly absolutely not everything. I went in for a sliced digit a they stitched it horribly and did not have good bedside manner. An I ended up having surgery in a burn center in Georgia because it was a severed nerve, not just a cut. And I waited in the waiting room for far too long and even more so when I got into the room. read more

10 out of 10 experience for having to be in a hospital. Annually I'm at a hospital 2-3 times a year. This was by far the best care I have received. All the nurses were quick, caring and compassionate for their patients. Even when we went to the inpatient building instead of the ER entrance the staff was kind enough to give me a security escort. I was in room A22 from 2-5. Amazing staff and facility. After trying to find the quickest way to seek care, even on the phone the staff was respectful, kind and knowledgeable in helping find where to go. read more

Wonderful caring staff and quick responsive treatment! My elderly mother had severe respiratory issues and was taken to Oconee. We were particularly concerned because of the Covid-19 restrictions that kept us from being able to be there with her. However, the staff were caring, and they spent a lot of time with her so that she didn't feel alone in a strange place. The doctor in charge of her care directly and thoughtfully listened to us and answered our concerns, including talking to me when I called from out of state. We felt that she was in good hands at Oconee, read more

My wife had total shoulder replacement on Jan. 6th, 2021. Everything WAS excellent and exceeded our expectations! The STAFF was very understanding and made changes to accommodate our needs. I don't understand all the negative reviews. Maybe it's because many people only post negative ones. As for the emergency department, any ER can experience overloads and they work on a priority system, so someone bleeding out is given precedence over minor injuries or something better handled by urgent care or a family practitioner read more

Sadly zero stars can't be an option. My sister was treated at this ED on 4/21. In the beginning it seemed that things were going well. Due to Covid-19, no visitors were allowed to be with her, so my dad waited in the car and she communicated with me over the phone since I live in N.C.. The NP updated me stating that some labs were elevated and she wanted her to come back the next day for scans and she would be discharging her with nausea and pain medications. Great. My sister ended up being discharged around 8:20pm, as you know due to covid-19, many places are closing early, they wrote her prescriptions and sent her out the door without discussing any of the discharge paperwork with her. Once we realized there was NO pharmacy open in Seneca to get prescriptions filled I called the ED desk and was told "she will have to wait until morning or there is a 24 hour pharmacy in Anderson" (for those of you that don't know, Anderson is 25 minutes away from Seneca). So those were the options - wait or drive past numerous closed pharmacies 25 minutes away, after sitting in the ED for 6 hours to get treated. Later, after speaking with my sister she explained to me when she first arrived, the secretary never asked for her insurance information, never properly checked her weight and never asked for her primary care providers information. Thankfully my sister had the resources and support available to be able to get her medications but what about those that don't and why do the administrators and higher-ups of this "medical facility" feel that not getting properly checked-in, not having a local after hours pharmacy open and not discussing discharge paperwork and instructions with patients is acceptable? This system is flawed and needs a lot of work. In addition to this post, I will be filing a formal complaint to this hospital. read more

Terrible!!!! NP HORRIBLE! My daughter was told by minute clinic and urgent care to go to the ER became her BP and heart rate was sky high and she was having chest pains. She had been sick with a cold so it could be the culprit but this hospital is horrible. She had an exam and chest X-ray without even seeing a doctor and after she waited 4 hours a NP spoke with her and sent her home with no explanation except drink clear fluids and monitor herself and 800 mg of Advil for the chest pain. Oh she said her high BP could be from having to go to so many clinics! Whatever!!!!!! The minute clinic is the one who caught the high BP and heart rate in the first place! Oh and check in with redfern in 3 day!!!! Really? Redfern....what is she supposed to tell them? There is a reason she didn't go there in the first place! Anyway- this is unprofessional and has not put her or my mind at ease. I am surprised they haven't been sued over lack of care and slackness! The minute clinic was more concerned about her BP and HR than a hospital! I will have her drive 30 min to Greenville or 2 hours home before she ever goes back! And they better hope she gets better tonight! read more

Service at this hospital is slow. Heather G. I mean what I said because they are, so I will keep this posted for everyone to see.

The glacial pace at which this emergency room operates is just mind boggling. Admittedly we were here on a holiday, but one shouldn't need to spend their entire day at the ER just to get a dislocated shoulder diagnosed. Staff are apologetic about the wait, but it didn't seem genuine at all. No one moved with any sense of urgency at all. I'll search for alternatives before coming back to this joke of a hospital. You may die of starvation just waiting to actually be seen and get treatment. read more

Wow! Michelle and Sharon at check-in were fab! The nurse Sharron (I think) was so nice! First time I've had anything nice to say about that hospital. Thanks, ladies! read more

The worst hospital. I would drive an hour just so I would never have to return here again. Checked in and was seen by a triage nurse who took my vitals and then sat in the waiting room for 6 hours without ever being seen. Finally had to leave because I was in too much pain and drove myself to Anmed. Was charged for a full ER visit even though I was never admitted or seen. Just filed an insurance fraud claim against them. Wouldn't recommend going here for absolutely anything. read more

Very slow. I was told by my doctor I needed to go to the emergency room for a rabies shot after I was bitten by a bat. I have currently been waiting over 2 hours in an exam room. I opened my door to remind them I am still here and waiting. A nurse promptly came by and closed it. Better that I should remain out of sight and out of mind I suppose. I just don't understand why treatment in an emergency room has to be so slow. By the way, there were tons of medical personnel standing around and no ongoing emergencies or trauma patients being seen. If rabies wasn't so serious I would have walked out. On a positive note, everyone was very nice. I'm sure it is probably typical hospital bureaucracy that slows everything down. Update: At the 2.5 hour point an orderly moved me to another smaller room. At 4 hours I stopped a nurse in the hall and asked for an update. Soon after, two nurses came to my room with my shot. They said they thought I had already been released since I was no longer in my previous room. So I was basically lost in the ER. I probably could have stayed there overnight and they wouldn't have known. I was finally released 4 hours 45 minutes after being checked in. Downgraded to one star. read more

Oconee Medical Center - My lonely exam room. - Hospitals Near Me - Seneca, South Carolina

Horrible experience! ER is a joke. Been here all day. I could have flown to Mexico had some tacos removed my gallbladder and back. Ridiculous read more

My five year old grandson waited 5 hours with an open wound on his forehead to be seen. When we finally saw the doctor he didn't even clean the wound. He just had a nurse numb it and then he glued it. We are now dealing with a serious staph infection in the wound and around his eye. Do not trust this hospital! read more

I have never seen staff at a hospital move so slowly. The lack of care that the staff I was exposed to showed was about that of a normal McDonalds drive-thru. After being placed in a "room" that was essentially a bed in a hallway. My requests for a bucket to vomit into and that the curtain be closed were ignored by 5 staff members in a row. No warning for tests that were very painful, refusal to let me speak with an emergency contact, and the Oconee staff slow as possible shuffle. I'd rather drive an extra hour and get treated at Greenville Hospital even if my life was in the line. read more

My mom OD'd on her medication and they accused her of faking while she was seizing and instead of administering the antidote, they sedated her and she died because of it. They are a horrible horrible hospital. Please do not go there. They might let you die like they did my mom. read more

My dad was rushed to Oconee Memorial 2 days ago. I work at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta and truthfully I was a little nervous because the hospital is so small. Upon arriving, the nurse taking care of my dad in CCU (Karen) was so attentive & caring. Night nurse, (Tara) was equally as great. Dr. Lee, my fathers Gastro doc was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lee. His bedside manner was a 10! He came to ck on my dad 3 times in 24 hours. He explained everything to our family in depth. My father is still in CCU and I had to come home today. I feel confident that he will be treated with the utmost care and I just called in the get an update from his nurse, which she gladly gave me. It's refreshing to get such good care in this day & age. 5 Stars for this new & updated hospital.. 10 stars for Dr. Lee! read more

Worst care ever!!! I went to Redfern at Clemson University because of a lump in the back of my neck cause severe headaches, neck pain and a stiff neck. The pain was going on for about 5 days. When I went to Redfern they were concern it could be something serious like meningitis due to my symptoms and the fact that I was already on strong antibiotics for treating a UTI the week before made it unusual that it could be another infection. They suggested I go to the ER to get looked at. When I went, the people there were hasty. I felt like I was being rushed and when trying to explain my symptoms they quickly cut me off. At this moment my pain is at a 9. All they did was touched the area at which it was hurting and swollen and even caused more pain and claimed its just a swollen lymph node that could "possibly" be infected and to take Advil or ibuprofen for the pain. They ran NO test whatsoever. I honestly felt like I wasted my time going to the ER. I'm still in severe pain to the the point where I can't even sleep at night. I still have limited motion in my neck and the severe headaches. The ibuprofen and Advil aren't working. Overall, I would never go back there!!! read more

This ER is an absolute joke. Brought a friend here for a dislocated elbow and took over 4 hours to be seen. Super unhelpful at the reception and triage. I suggest if it's an emergency then driving another 40 minutes to Greenville. Ridiculous read more

My parents have been to Oconee Medical Center several times including visits to the emergency room, a surgery and extended inpatient treatments. We have always received excellent care and attention from the doctors, nurses and other hospital staff. The nurses are especially kind and caring. They respond quickly to requests, are always friendly and smiling and patiently answer our questions. We have found all areas of the hospital to be very clean and well maintained. read more

Took my wife to the ER when she was in extreme pain in her throat region. The physician's assistant on duty was very rude and short with her. He would not perform any tests to diagnose her condition. He also refused to give her any temporary relief of the pain. We did go to another Urgent Care facility and they gave her an injection for pain and gave her the proper treatment. I have a filed a complaint with the hospital. We will never go to this ER again and you shouldn't either. read more

If there was any such thing as leaving no star rating, that would be my choice for this review. All of life I have been going to this ER (and I was also born here also) and 96% of the time the treatment is very poor and the diagnoses are usually highly incorrect. The staff is very low and the waits are SO LONG! You're lucky if you're seen within the first hour of checking in (even if no one is in the ER). Also, most of the doctors have no idea what they are even doing and usually look down upon families with low income or parents/patients who smoke. The bedside manner is not great but isn't absolutely horrible all the time. If you're lucky and they draw blood, take a urine sample, etc. they do not inform you what the tests are for. Just about an hour ago, my father took me to the ER due to extreme nausea, a horrible headache, body aches and cold chills and hot flashes. The doctor that saw me was pretty polite but I believe that was a false impression considering that his facial expression seemed irritated. Having all of there symptoms, I assumed I may have a virus or possibly even the flu. But no, he diagnosed me with an "unspecified headache". He didn't even run any tests or take any blood. I honestly believe his diagnoses is very incorrect and I'm going to be very upset if my pain worsens and I actually have an illness. I do not recommend this hospital to anyone!! I would rather go all the way to Anderson or Greenville instead of my own local ER! read more

I'm only giving it one star because it's not letting me give no stars out. This hospital is terrible. My dad was put into surgery last Saturday and if it were not for my step mother saying something, my dad would have never ate dinner because the nurses "forgot to take his food order" and "didn't think he was staying over night." If you have surgery chances are you stay a night. The next 2 days the never gave him breakfast and would give different excuses saying they forgot but never once would forget anyone else. They blatantly ignored my fathers needs. The nurses and doctors are way too slow and most of them are rude or act better than the most of us. Also while I was there, I overheard a few nurses talking about another patient yelling out in pain and asking for meds and was laughing at her. It was ridiculous. I live about 10 minutes from this hospital so it's convenient, but I would rather drive an extra 20 and go to Greenville memorial. At least the staff there actually do their job and don't criticize their patients. This hospital is a huge joke read more

This is the worst hospital I have ever been to the ER staff judges you in a very negative way the entire system is sub par we have lived here for just over a year and I had to go to the ER several times because I can't find a PCP we (my wife and I) keep getting rejected by every Dr we fill out applications for! And the ER is the only place we can go! Besides the clinic on Omni Dr but the ER has refused treatment a few times because "they don't help with chronic conditions" this is hit or miss depending in the ER Dr on duty, I have server hypertension and without medication very bad things will happen including death! I don't want the lack of treatment to be the reason for a serious cardiac event sending me to the ER! But since every Dr we applied to turned us down including every one tied to this health system! Aren't we supposed to screen the Dr's for who we want to see? Not the other way around? We have full insurance everyone would get paid! And asking what the reason for the denial they won't say that tells me we are being discriminated against for one reason or another ( disability, age, national origin?) But for whatever reason the ER is our only source of medical care unless we move and that is not a option for 2 disabled people 1 blind! To be treated like dirt 95% of the time in the ER openly being judged by a high ranking staff member that called me after filing a complaint, we had no choice but to move here from another state because there is family here and I hate ER's unless I have no other choice! Before moving her I saw the inside of my local ER 2 times in 10 years! The last was because my appendix had to come out! And I was in and out of the OR in less than 2 hours at least what I remember after waking up, here I don't know if I would go back to this place if I ever had another emergency like my appendix I would probably take a chance with my life and drive to GA or any other hospital! I am almost 50 busted my rear all my life and never have I seen the disrespect I received from the staff at this place they took a oath and are required under certain federal laws to provide care ( Yes Federal Laws Trump Local Laws) they seem to forget that here or are ignorant to it or just don't care! I got better health care from Free clinics while waiting for my SSDI that I did not want but had no choice, and the free care they provide is for uninsured (Illegal Now) the insured can't get care outside of their ER I was hoping it would get better after Greenville acquired them but it got worse they seem to be taking it out on the patients in subtle ways I should not have to beg for a Non Narcotic Hypertension script so I don't go into Cardiac arrest or have a stroke!!!! read more
