They simply didn't care when I went in with an anxiety attack. The triage nurse was nice and promised they would have me checked out, but then they sat me in a hallway and had me wait for several hours and pretended I wasn't there most of the time. The rest of the time all I got was that patented health care professional I'm-better-than-you attitude from the most condescending, robotic sort of man. They had said they were going to give me medication but eventually told me they didn't have it so they were going to send me away. Without any treatment. This experience actually made my anxiety worse so I went to the DePaul Medical Center ER where I was treated for an anxiety attack. I really fear for people who go here with more serious ailments if they are not capable of treating severe anxiety, so if you can please go somewhere else.
I was seen in the ER and the nurses were awesome. Especially Ms. Nanette she was so busy running around and taking care for as many patients as she could but still carried a great attitude and made me smile.
I was admitted to the ER with a potentially life threatening situation. The staff were efficient and stayed on path with everything they needed to do for many hours. In doing so they remained kind and professional.
I love Sentara Leigh. Nearly every doctor and nurse I've encountered here have been extremely caring and helpful. For those that are admitted, the rooms are large and very nice. The hospital seems to be very clean, as well. My only complaint was with one particular doctor about three years ago. I went in for incredible back and leg pain. She didn't do any x-rays or CT Scans or anything. She blamed it on my being overweight (I'm 5'10 and 250. Yes I'm a bit overweight but not to the degree she was making it seem). She sent me on my way. About two years later, after the pain continued to get worse, I ended up at Norfolk General where I was diagnosed with several bulging disks and spinal stenosis. Had she done her job and properly examined me, I might've been able to have my problems addressed sooner. Thankfully, I've not encountered her since then and every other doctor there has been amazing.
I came in there because my arm was in really bad pain. It was traveling through out my whole arm shoulder and half of my hand. There is a bump that grew on my arm a few months ago and it wasn't bothering till now, the pain is comming from the bump and all he did was look at the bump pressed on it (when he was twisting my arm and pressing on the bump there was a sharp pain shoothing down my arm and to my hand) and told my that the bump is not whats causing the pain. I have to tell him that it is coming from the bump and he just Wrapped my arm up gave me papers and nerve medicine because he said that i have a pinched nerve in my neck. Im never going there again. On my way to depaul hospital now.
