Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital

My daughter broke her leg while we were camping and we came through the ER at Geisinger Lewistown. Everyone we met was so empathatic and accommodating. The first nurse we met was Jason, who was awesome, then Roberto, the ER Tech who was just as awesome. They gave my 3 children warm blankets and snacks. They took great care of us all. Radiology and our doctor, Dr. Olaff, were fantastic. Despite the situation, they made it quite tolerable and should be commended! Thank you!

Not impressed with empathy of maternity nurses. 17 hours, 5 nurses and only ONE had empathy! Isnt it your JOB to keep parents calm when issues arise?

The lab services is what I was there for. They are friendly and helpful.

I can't believe Geisinger put its name on this hospital. My dad fell at a local nursing home. They took his BP and it was 198/100. With my permission they sent him to Lewistown. We waited in The ER for over three hours and not a nurse or doctor ever came in to see him. No CT scan, no stroke assessment. I went out to ask for a doctor and they told me they were busy. By the way, if they were so busy why were four of the nurses sitting out at the nurses station talking about their pigs!!!! The Dr finally came in and had my dad take a few steps and said he was fine and discharged him. We then sent him to another local hospital where he had excellent care. I would not send anyone tomthis horrible hospital

This place is a joke!!! My fiance went in to the ER for a severe toothache from 2 abscessed teeth. Her whole face was swollen and there was drainage. We sat there for 21/2 hours and the only thing they did in that time was take her blood pressure. Upon arrival they told her that the doctor's just did a shift change and were a little behind. After 2 hours went by and nobody ever came in she rang the call bell to see why. They came in and told us the same thing they said 2 hours ago. The doctor's just did a shift change and they are a little behind. Another 1/2 hour went by and still nothing not a checkup from a nurse or anything. At this time there was literally 5 nurses in the room to discharge the person beside her. Does not require 5 people to do a discharge and they were all talking about doing housework. Iade a comment to my fiancee and jokingly saidaybe I should light the trash can on fire and see if we get any assistance then. One of the nurses heard me and started flipping out and told us we had to leave. When we asked why nobody has come in she responded with a toothache is not an emergency and proceeded to tell us we had to leave. I said we were not leaving until she was seen. She called security and they threw us out. That right there is refusing to treat with is illegal. On top of that 2 years prior my fiancee was pregnant and she knew something was wrong and came to this hospital. Again after hour and hours waiting they did some testing and said nothing was wrong. The next morning shewent to an appointment in Danville and they said our baby was filled with fluid and they had to do an emergency c section or he was going to die. If it was not for that appointment and real doctor's instead of wanna be losers we would have lost our son. This place is literally killing people and getting away with it!!!! I would not recommend this hospital and it's worthless staff to my worst enemy. So if you don't care if you die then go here!! If you want to stay alive then go anywhere else but here!!!!!
