    For being an "emergency room" they don't seem to take it very seriously. Extremely SLOW!! 7-8 hour wait times are UNACCEPTABLE!!

    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.

    This is a copy/paste from a poor experience at Star ER: I do not recommend going to Star ER. I was…read morevisiting from out of town and got sick. 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.

    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 went in on Friday because of a sore throat, what I suspected to be strep. The nurse did a rapid…read morestrep test, which came back negative. The doctor then came in, told me I had tonsillitis, gave me a steroid shot, and prescribed antibiotics. He neglected to go through symptoms with me and spent less than 5 min in the room with me. I trusted what I was told and took the antibiotics as prescribed. 4 days went by and my symptoms had only gotten worse, I could barely talk and the pain was so severe I was unable to even drink. I went back in on Monday, and after the nurse was looking at what I was prescribed and diagnosed on Friday, she was surprised and told me that it wouldn't have helped me get better. The doctor, different from my prior appointment, came into the room and analyzed every symptom I had complaints about and went through everything very thoroughly with me. Despite how busy the clinic was, she ensured to give me the proper care and time needed to help me get better. Due to the unfortunate circumstances I dealt with from my first appointment at West Wind Primary Health Center, I missed 5 days of work and was in severe pain that could have been prevented. Despite my negative experience with my first time there, as a whole, the clinic staff was top notch and very helpful.

    I'm not sure how to frame this review, but I will do my best to give the employees at this hospital…read morethe benefit of the doubt during this difficult time. I am a veteran who has no other option than a civilian emergency room just like so many others right now. I arrived at 4:30pm to be seen for kidney stones. I developed chronic kidney stone syndrome while on my first tour in 2008 to Iraq and have since passed roughly 65-70 stones since then. Not All of them leave me debilitated, but this one.. This one has had me bawling and writhing on the floor in excruciating pain. Now, I have no idea what covid fear has done to the mass populace, but I stand firm that my immune health will be fine throughout.. I was triaged and registered, then told it would be a 3 hour wait. After an hour and a half of waiting, I get up and check my place in line and am told it is now a 5 hour wait. For anyone who has passed a stone (dudes, I'm talking to you) you Know it is the most excruciating pain a male can go through, comparable to birth. After dropping to the floor from dizziness, the security guard asked if I needed a wheelchair, which I took him up on. This was just prior to being told the wait time had jumped 2 hours. After about 2 minutes of deliberation, I called my wife to come pick me up so I wasnt basking in sick people's germs for even longer than I was originally told. I hobbled into the back to have them remove the IV and was asked to sign the "you're leaving against doctors advice" form. That was laughable. No doctor had seen me, no one had advised me. No one did shit except make me feel awkward for inquiring about my place in line. Based on the looks I received, it's my guess that my tattoos (zero gang affiliated ink btw) had something to do with it. It definitely wasnt my demeanor, my Please and Thank you's were in all the right places. As I'm having my IV removed, I state how sad it is that vets are given such second rate treatment at Every hospital, not just this one. I hobble out to the front where my wife had dropped me off and I collapse before reaching the curb, writhing in pain. I crawl to the curb with Zero "hey man, are you ok" from the staff. For about 7 minutes I laid on the ground, unable to get comfortable as my stone/s descended further and further. The car ride home was intense for my flanks, and once home I drop to the floor just shy of my bed and really let the waterworks out. It is now 8pm, and I would have had another hour and a half to go had I stayed. Like so many VA hospitals, this seems like the type that will let you die in the waiting room before receiving care. In conclusion, if you have Real pain or Real sickness/illness, don't put your faith in UMC. They almost certainly will leave you worse for wear. Thank God I wasnt actually stabbed, even though my guts are being torn apart right now, I probably would have bled out. That is the fairest review I could muster. Lesson learned.

So if you decide to go here keep in mind there is no wait time for a reason. After my visit I continued to throw up over 24 hours and am now having to see a specialist. Would encourage anyone with a negative experience to contact the state medical board.

    Customers be warned: this is NOT an urgent care facility! You WILL be charged outrageously here…read more I went here on a Saturday in December and only because the UMC down the street was not open anymore on Saturdays. I had two tests, one positive for the flu, and a chest x-ray by request. The charges were $600 for the testing, $1,000 for the x-ray, and $3,000 for an arbitrary and vague "emergency room" charge. I observed front desk staff tell another patient who asked for an estimate that "by law" they cannot disclose the cost of their medical services prior to treatment. This is incredibly shady, and Covenant is skirting the law very sneakily with these kinds of "emergency centers". The only reason I can justify even two stars is due to the relative quality of service. This is an Emergency Room and is run as such, just without all the bulk and excess of an actual hospital. I was treated generally well by everyone, though I did have a fair wait once I got into the room. Unless you really think you're at risk of death from your injuries, do NOT come here. Upper respiratory stuff, minor cuts, etc. I would implore you to find an actual urgent care facility in town.
