Berger Hospital

Nice hospital and staff. Amazing maternity ward. Even more amazing of a physical therapy program. ER can take a while only reason for 4 stars.

I gave a 2 star for cleanliness. My visit was fine I was treated good. However I watched the nurse discharge one sick coughing patient and move a poor old man WITH OPEN WOUNDS to the same bed. Very sad to see. Every bed should be stripped and cleaned after each and every patient that comes and goes.

RUDE STAFF ALL OF THEM! THEY over power parents. Wont listen to you. Interrupt you to tell u they dont think thats it when you know your childs history better then they do esp when it has happened before!! Do NOT waste your time. I DO highly recommend Jamestown ER over any other hospital your in an out an they do all they can for you and they are professionals and very nice

July 30, 2019 Medicare is OF NO VALUE, nor Part B, or even an auxiliary private insurance policy, unless an individual is “admitted” to the hospital and stays 3 nights. Being “observed” and forced to leave after 2 nights and not the magic 3 nights, rendered my mother ineligible to receive benefits from Medicare, Medicare Part B, and the private insurance policy she’s had in place since 1989! Saturday, in my mother’s hospital room at Berger, I met with her physician, a nurse, her physical therapist and the patient care coordinator. All assured me she met Medicare’s criteria for release, despite saying she needed 24 hour care. They metaphorically wrung their hands, and said they could do nothing. Even the physician could not/would not override the insurance company, they asserted. Had I understood the result of my compliance, I would have refused to move my mother from the hospital, and welcomed the publicity it generated. My mother is 95, and held a job her entire adult life, ironically, at Berger Hospital, and later, for Dr. Emily Lutz. I am incredulous that Berger Hospital has healthcare regulations physicians claim they can't override. It is fallacy that Medicare will prevent seniors from needing to sell their homes in order to have end of life care. Update 12:45pm July 31, 2019 Just called the number given in Hospital comment. No answer, no ability to leave a message. Update #2 4:00pm July 31, 2019 Called a second time. No answer, no VM to leave a message Update #3 9:43am August 1, 2019 Called a third time. No answer, no VM to leave a message Update # 4 Friday, August 2, 2019 Tina X finally answered at the number Ohio Health suggested I call. She said she was unfamiliar with my review. "Corporate had not informed her." After my explanation, she said she knew nothing about medicare / observation / admittance to hospital. She would need guidance to respond. Apparently she has not gotten the guidance necessary to contact me, now 3 business days later. If I could I would remove the one star rating.

Again I have had a positive experience in the ER! Everyone was kind, helpful and knowledgeable! My mother was given great care! Thank you!!
