I am a 76 year old with an enlarged prostate. I went to UPMC Carlisle Urology for treatment…read more Dr Dussinger recommended surgery. So we set date of 12/16/25. I have severe osteoarthritis and take Diclofenac for pain. The Dr said to go off the Diclofenac 7 days prior to the surgery because of the risk of bleeding. I complied. After the 5th day I was suffering. After the 6th day I could not walk. I took an Oxycodone left over from a shoulder surgery. And was able to call his office. I explained the severity of the pain I was in and asked for a scrip for 2 or 3 days worth of Oxy. He refused!! He told me to resume taking the Diclofenac?? He was willing to risk severe bleeding on the operating table rather than give a perfectly safe scrip for Oxy!! Even if I had agreed it takes 4 or 5 days to get back in my system. We had to cancel a surgery that I badly needed l. What kind of Quack would be so heartless?? Update: I received an AI Generated response to this post. They want me to reach out to them so they can tell how wrong I was. They have my phone number why don't they call me. I have a call into Wellspan to see one of their Urologists.

My husband recently had surgery at UPMC Carlisle Hospital. Hospital was clean and very well run…read more EVERYONE was extremely caring and professional. They kept me, the spouse, well informed all along the way. Everything ran like a well oiled machine. Also, the hospital is easy to get to, with plenty of free parking. I've also gone there for an emergency I had, and received excellent care myself. Would highly recommend Carlisle Hospital to anyone needing to go to the hospital or emergency room.

No place is ever going to be perfect, but they did a pretty good job in our opinions.

I arrived by ambulance, got a quick vitals check -- and then sent to the waiting room with high blood pressure. 7 hours later my blood pressure is still high and I am 60, got tired of siting as I have bad knees/arthritis and couldnt sit anymore. I called Penn Health Hampden and they told me they could take me right away. It was so sad. When the ambulance brought me to UPMC West Shore no one smiled-- when I saw how packed the ER wait room was I could understand why! There were people waiting 10 and more hours for assistance! MY GOD. That is NOT ok. Too many people falling through the health care cracks and not enough staffing to assist! Welcome to the New America? Thankfully I was stabilized by Penn Health Hampden. Sugar was 350. blood pressure brought down, and breating issues treated.

Please bear with me. I'm not a holy roller in your face religious zealot. But what I witnessed this…read moreweekend happened by the grace of God. The staff at Hershey medical system were blessed with the skills to save my mom. My mother had a major stroke on Saturday. She had a complete blockage in the area controlling speech and movement on her right side. She arrived at Hershey able to understand but unable to communicate. She couldn't lift her arms. She literally was scared to death. Likewise, my dad, who witnessed everything, was panicking. When we got the call, we threw some stuff in a suitcase and drove all night covering over 800 miles to get there as soon as we could. When we arrived, we went directly to the hospital. Of course I had updates from my family, but I still wasn't sure what I would see when I walked into her room in the NICU. The moment I stepped over that threshold, I knew I still had my mom. Not mom with a new normal, but MY mom. How did I know? She was complaining about something. Yep, that's my mom, bless her heart. (And I mean that in a true southern way!) I've already established my belief in divine intervention, but it was the excellent staff at Hershey that actually performed the miracle. The moment mom crossed the ER threshold, she was hit by a whirlwind of activity. Time is critical for a stroke patient. Within the first 1/2 hour, they confirmed the stroke and had a specialist paged. Less than two hours from getting wheeled in into the ER by the EMTs, she was in recovery from surgery. The surgery was delicate (as are all brain surgeries, of course). This particular surgery takes advanced skills - her neurologist said that even they revere these surgeons. The doctor said that they got the entire clot but didn't know her prognosis. He did say that recovery was going to be slow. The wonderful care didn't stop in the ER and OR. The nurses and support staff were second to none. Not only was mom well cared for, we were also recipients of the helpfulness and kindness of the staff. We were kept abreast of every test and procedure. They made sure that the doctor came by while we were there - keeping us tightly in the loop. We had pertinent phone numbers so we could always speak with her nurse. They helped us set up her portal (clear cookies before enrolling). Mom was a nurse so she has exceptionally high standards for nursing care. Even she was impressed. There were a couple of hiccups. The food was awful. I wouldn't have eaten it either. They did not do a very good job at helping her with hygiene. She said she had a bed bath but whatever they did, sure didn't do what was intended. In 5 days, she had only received 1 bath. Please be aware that the medical center is HUGE and you will most likely have quite a trek to the room. Seriously, after the first day, I traded my cute sandals for my tennis shoes. There are a couple of places inside to eat but we didn't try them. A very busy Starbucks is in the lobby. Us fellow Penn Staters feel especially at home with the replica of our beloved Nittany Lion sculpture in the rotunda. A life size replica of our mascot sits on an outside bench just begging for a photo shoot. If I ever need urgent medical care while in town visiting, there will be absolutely no question on where I'll go. Hershey Medical Center. It's undoubtedly one of the best. And, to the staff - thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my mom. Bless you all.

A state of the art Medical training facility under the Penn State University doctors and medical…read morestudents. The facility is large, like big as all heck large. It is well maintained, cleaned, and up kept. The ER is a little slow if you come in on a Saturday, but the staff (on all aspects/positions) are outgoing, knowledgeable, and wanting to educate you on what they are doing/have done and the options that you have. With that said, the care is exceptional. The nurse staff is beyond amazing! The care was contributions, present, and working to provided the best care available!! Going to the hospital is NEVER easy and not something anyone looks forward to, but I assure you that you are in good hands here!!

My second visit to Patient First was even more excellent than my first visit nine months ago…read more This time I was able to see Dr. Sean Perrine, who is intelligent, personable, kind, patient and caring. Dr. Perrine suggested that I have the impacted earwax removed from both ears. Paige, a medical specialist in earwax removal, did a superb job to accomplish this complicated and time-consuming task. Dr. Perrine also prescribed an antibiotic for me that he called in to my pharmacy on record. The prescription was ready for pick up when I arrived. The wait time was less than five minutes because I was there when they opened at 8 AM on a Tuesday. I was unable to get an appointment with my family doctor that week. Pansinusitis should not be left untreated for too long, so I did the right thing by going to Patient First for superior medical care from a friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff. I would give Patient First a 23+ out of 10 ... fabulous ... fantastic and a life saver when a family doctor cannot provide immediate care. Patient First on Jonestown Road in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is THE BEST in 2025!

Security very kindly escorted us to the correct hallway as we got there a bit early and the front was not open yet. And the nurses in pre-op were very thorough and moved me right along. The nurse in the OR made me feel very comfortable. Once i got to the floor, the nurses were amazing as well. Once the nerve block wore off at about 2 am I turned in to a whiney brat. They very patiently worked with me to get my pain under control. The nurses were amazing in how they all worked together. And tbh eating was not high on my priority list but i knew I had to. It was quite palatable!
