UK Good Samaritan Hospital

Doctors and nurses are good especially during the day. Most aids are good. There are a few that like to hide out especially at night and that needs surprise checked to make sure staff is doing good. Food at Good Samaritan has its moments of being bad and other times pretty good. I hate to show this picture of a breakfast tray they gave me one morning but, it was really bad and slimy. I didn’t like how it was and I always try to stay on top of things. Someone needs to always check on their loved ones to make sure they getting the best possible care. Especially if they can’t handle making sure they are getting the best of care.

I don't think the hospital deserves all the one star reviews. What I saw was a compassionate team who were working hard to help everyone. I was brought in quickly and shown kindness and respect. Hospitals are busy and no one wants to be there, give the staff some grace.

I have nothing positive to say about the "doctor". We had several bad experiences. We were told they needed a stool sample but they never picked it up and when we questioned, the tech said it was not needed. Then the sample remained in the bathroom for hours. Patient asked for water around 9AM it never arrived. Trash in the closet (napkin and utensils). Then to top it off there were roaches crawling on the floor during the night. I can go on but I won't. There were a few good nurses on staff. Aaron V, Hannah M, and Emily L were amazing. My daughter literally said "Emily L save me". Sadly there great work was not enough for me to give a better rating because everything else was so bad.

I had surgery on January 14th, 2026 to remove my right adrenal gland due to a pheochromocytoma tumor that had grown in it. I went in the day before surgery, and was able to go home the day after surgery. During my 3 day stay I had the best experience. Such caring and sweet staff, nurses and techs on the 5th floor. My surgeon and her team were brilliant.

I had Hiatal Hernia surgery, November 18th 2025. Duringy a 2 day stay, Dr. Totten and her team was wonderful. However, some of the nurses and techs on the 6th floor were awful. Some were better than others, a few didn't follow medicine protocols. Nurse/Tech wouldnt take me to the bathroom after I asked twice. Nancy the tech didn't do her job and I spoke to Dr. Totten's team about it, they talked to her, and afterwards she came in my room snappy and mouthy. I asked her to leave and I was trying to recover, and she kept on and wouldn't leave, when she did she slammed the door. Nurses on that floor or filling in or haven't been on that floor before still should ask questions if they don't know, making excuses doesn't not prevent mistakes. I rather not stay there again. Laura was an excellent
