Sentara Albemarle Medical Center

Usually don't have a good experience with this hospital but tonight I had an excellent Dr and nurse, Dr Lennon is very good at his job and thorough. The nurse was very kind and helpful.

Absolutely the worst care i have ever recieved. Made my child birth a nightmare and treated me extremely poor after my baby was born.

I was born here on July 23 1975. Even though I lost my mom on September 16 1990 I know the staff & doctors did everything they could to keep her here. They have always had wonderful loving care staff & medical treatment.

I delivered my daughter here a few months ago. I am giving two stars because there was a wonderful lactation consultant, Dr. Stevenson was great, and a few nurses were attentive and kind. However, when I arrived at the hospital at 6cm dilated with my mom, the nurse was rude and condescending. She asked “Where’s your husband?” The entire time of my labor I felt like I had to kiss up to her in order to receive proper care and be treated kindly. It seemed like her style was to act cold and standoffish. Her name was Sarah and I hope she gets some vacation time or perhaps moves into a new profession. Giving birth should not be a time when a woman feels she has to defend herself, kiss up to someone, or fear that she will be treated poorly. When I look back on my experience there I can’t help but see it with a dark cloud floating over it. Additionally, the rooms feel like prison cells and there is no room for someone to stay with you overnight. The second night I stayed, there was one other person in the L&D unit and the nurse seemed so overwhelmed and hardly came to check on me- even when I called several times.

Sorry not a four Star. My Granddaughter went there today on Mother's day. They said she didn't brake her arm. When in fact she did. Thanks so much. Should send this hospital the bill. Or a Attorney.
