Merrimack Health Lawrence Hospital

Went with our 3 week old with the understanding that they still had a pediatric unit, which they do not. Their website states “Lawrence Hospital’s Emergency Center provides 41 private exam rooms and designated areas for critical care, trauma and pediatric emergencies.” This is not true, they were not equipped for our newborn and there was not a single pediatrician on site. Waited 4.5 hours without seeing a doctor, there were only 2 doctors on the floor for a 41 bed, level 3 trauma unit. Our room we were in still had supplies from a previous patient on the floor. We left without being seen as we figured the risk to our newborn was greater just being there. Go somewhere else.

I was just there the other night with my friend, and this was the worst hospital experience we've ever had. The lack of care and empathy from all of the nurses and providers was unbelievable. They should be ashamed of themselves. My friend was laying on a bed with broken side rails and a sheet that was half off the bed, and they didn't close her curtain when they were coming in and out of her room. She was crying, dizzy, and in so much pain, and not once did any nurse or provider do anything to comfort her or make her feel any better. They gave her no meds to help with the pain and not one IV of fluids. When it was time to go for an X-ray, the nurse asked if she wanted to walk or if she needed a wheelchair. She told him she was dizzy and needed a wheelchair, and before she could even get

Run go to any hospital other than this. First, they don’t care about elders at all. They almost allowed my mother To bleed out in her room because of lack of attention. Literally. They kept over sedating my 93-year-old father where he couldn’t even walk speak or move. This is elder abuse. They don’t care. It took my father over a week to be able to speak properly again. Elder abuse. They had him sitting in bed, not allowing him to move when they should’ve had him up walking every day. I couldn’t be more disgusted with this hospital in the treatment of their patients. They should be reported in this hospital. Should either start over or be closed.

Terrible I waited 10 hrs in the corner hallway while others got water and at least some drink and crackers. The staff lied about who my nurse was after changing staff. My blood pressure was very high. The here was some emergency that held up every one yet nurses sat and chatted in their station. I froze until someone finally got me a blanket. Not 1 nurse or doctor came by but said everyone was occupied. Crazy drug addicts enter the waiting room swearing and throwing objects. No one speaks English. If you don’t speak Spanish your ignored. I mentioned the oriental nurse and staffed ere all over me not caring if I left with no results or compassion. I got lost trying to find my car and arrived home sick late at night. I was worried about my pet having no water. The nurses were uncaring and do

If I could I would give it no stars. They are absolutely the worst hospital I've ever dealt with. We have been three times in 2 weeks. My daughter's jaw litterly will not open. Has not been able to eat for 10 days. Has been vomiting. Not one person cared. The blonde 20 something nurse named Taylor in the ER she is an awful person and should be required to take some sensitive classes. I hope she gets a nurse just like her someday. And the old big "security" guard should probably get his ears checked.They are a waste of hospital space. We are definitely filling a formal complaint. Just take the drive and go to Boston. Or just any other hospital.
