    WORST PLACE EVER!!!! I WOULD RATHER DIE!!! Unfortunately my daughter had an asthma attack and needed to be taken to the hospital. Upon walking and we were quickly assisted and taken into the pediatric unit and given a room. The Nurse stated she would need a breathing treatment, see the doctor and also she would give me what I need it to give her breathing treatment at home. After waiting in a 1/2 hour I simply asked if I could just have the equipment and I would give my child a breathing treatment at home the nurse snarked and said I wasn't allowed to and that if I wanted to see the doctor she would give him a call. Well it's well oddly enough that's why I brought my daughter to the emergency room was to see a doctor it's no secret that people of color are treated differently and not in a positive way in the medical field I'm just sad that I had to experience that with my child who could not breathe today. Upon leaving I took her to urgent care within 10 minutes she received care and a breathing treatment and we were sent home.

    There's no way this hospital should have a rating less than Cape Regional. I drove an extra 30 min to go here instead because Cape Regional Shrugged me off and said they didn't know. THIS HOSPITAL the staff was friendly and professional and the doctor said "let's get to the bottom of this because this is not normal." I felt like I was on the show House and had a doctor that cared. Both of my nurses were male & amazing. (I was in ER so long I experienced a shift change) The first one whom placed my IV was so understanding and I barely felt it and I requested a specific spot which most people struggle and he did it so quick I didn't believe it. I ended up having to be transferred to another hospital with a Specialist BUT the fact that everyone was quick to respond, cared about figuring out what was going on, and the kindness they gave me and my family they deserve recognition. I'm very greatful to the ER staff on Thursday night into Friday morning. ♡

    Went to the hospital today 1/19/22 to get a cystoscopy. Hospital was very clean. When I went up to the department the lady at the front desk, the nurses that I had were very friendly and very nice to me. The nurses that I had, made me feel very welcomed and did an excellent job in explaining everything that was gonna be done and even after. My doctor also did an excellent job. I give the nurses that took care of me 10 stars. I would recommend this hospital to family and friends.

    BEWARE: my mom died at Shore last weekend. Someone there stole her phone that had her wallet attached. So no protocol as to handle personal belongings for someone that has died there? Disgusting. The representative for the security team who I spoke to was adamant that she didn't have phone on her, however I called and spoke to my mom AND the ICU doctor and nurse ON HER PHONE. It's in the nurses notes that the phone was turned into security after she passed. The security guard did however go on to detail horrific, and unnecessary details about her clothing items as to why they were not saved, IN THE LOBBY. Apparently not only is there no protocol on how to handle personal belongings, but no sensitivity training either. A police report has been filed. Whoever stole this from a dead woman should rot in hell, and hopefully be fired too.

    Showed up to the er after a crash and never actually received any kind of assessment. They took some x rays and gave me some meds and sent me on my way. Shout out to Maryanne who actually took care of my wounds after everyone else ignored them. That radio tech needs to keep her opinions to herself too. I don’t need asked “was that smart ?” When she asked what happened.

    I never imagined I would be leaving a review like this for the same Shore Memorial Hospital that saved both my grandparents lives, my uncle's, and took care of me so many times I lost count, but the carelessness during my last interaction with Shore Medical/Shore Memorial was shocking. My close relative was at a critical point during a total psychotic breakdown and after I spent weeks trying to get her help, by some miracle she decided to self-admit. She was lost, scared, afraid of hurting herself or being hurt, and despite knowing that she'd probably lose her job she called her boss for a ride to the ER. She has a 40 year history visiting Shore including psychotic episodes, aggression, self harm, multiple 302's, escaping while on a 5150, police involvement, social workers, etc. yet they tried telling me that this 70 year old emaciated woman walking around in 40° weather wearing a tank top & shorts was fine. I desperately tried to explain how serious the situation was, and a nurse told me she would have the psychiatrist call me before they did anything. Then my relative called me crying because they were already processing her discharge and said that they were going to 'trespass her' if she didn't leave. When I called back, a different nurse said there was no psychiatrist available that night, and no one was going to call me. Believe me, severe mental illness is a nightmare for everyone involved so I understand the urge to get rid of her but the lies were unnecessary and pretty cruel if you ask me. Either they simply don't care about mentally ill patients as much as the physically ill or the psychiatrist, ER doc & nurses need a refresher on the presentation and consequences of a serious schizophrenic breakdown. Last time (3 months ago) they put her in an alarmed bed, transferred her to a long term psych facility where she was held for a month before the psychiatrist decided she was stable. That episode was nowhere near as serious as this one, but they actually told me that this bipolar, schizophrenic, incredibly underweight senior was fine because they had a brief conversation with her and she 'promised' she was taking her meds.. Nevermind that she's been a smart, hard-working, caring, independent woman traveling the world for the last 30 years, and now she looks like a homeless person and walked into the ER BEGGING for help. I don't know if this is the result of some new Penn-inspired financial directive or just the way hospitals work post-covid, but it's really disturbing to think this is the best that people with psychiatric illnesses can expect. In case you were wondering whether she actually needed care, she now has a black eye, she has a random tattoo she can't explain, she no longer feels an attachment to her family and she charged almost $5000 to her credit card in the last week but has no idea why. Maybe she spent it, maybe someone took advantage of her, who knows.. but the best case scenario is that I get to continue watching her flush her life down the toilet, and worst case is that she could end up freezing to death in the woods. Btw, here is one of Shore's mission statements: "At Shore Medical Center, kindness complements an extraordinary level of clinical sophistication. Our people are the foundation of this modern medical center where advanced technology harmonizes with compassionate care.

    I went to the ER here and had a great overall experience - the nurses were kind, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. The doctor was highly credentialed, easy to talk to and spent a lot of time explaining what was going on. Great hospital and great staff.

Thank you Jordan ❤️ from the Marco Family

    Everything happened between 4:30-5:30am about a year ago. I brought my mother to this hospital because she had a severe allergic reaction to something and we live 8 minutes away. We got there when nobody was in the lobby and the doctor was able to take a look at my mother right the way. Her throat started to close and let me tell you - this hospital did an amazing job. My mother was hospitalized and at 6am there were 4 male doctors next to my mother’s bed. The doctors came from different departments and they were ready to intubate. We got lucky and the medication worked. Those 4 doctors didn’t have to do anything but my mother still remembers them standing next to her. A year has passed and I tell my mother that if this hospital would’ve not being able to save her, nobody would. She had to spend a few hours here but the doctors literally did absolutely everything they could. The bill was hilarious tho. 15k for keeping a bed for 6 hours. She had one scan done and that’s about it. But it’s America. Yeah, it’s a scam but I still give this place 5 starts because the doctors did their job.

    Yes hospital has some problems, sometimes slow and some more advanced problems can take 2-3 days to fix when the right people come in but it will be fixed and if urgent injury n can’t help will be stabilized transported to right facility right away unlike cape regional who lets patients dying, with horrible injuries very sick be released right away. This hospital has saved my mom’s life, stabilized with proper fluids blood right away unlike cape death. Done a basic surgery with pickit line successfully, treated pain and refereed her to a nursing home n physical therapy. Also stabilized many friends of mine and immediately transferred some of them who had very bad injuries if they had any thought there facility was to small which I’m sure is why there so many low star reviews. Some nurses were rude but they were dealt with and some of the best nurses I ever met helped my mom and friends

    Worst ER I’ve ever been to. Should I even mention how MANY times they messed up? Always doctors and staff with a disgusting attitude. No help here. Also no one reached out to us as they promised to us on the phone after we filed a complaint. Horrible.

    This place is the best place to go to die! However if your trying to go to the hospital to live your going to want to go to any other hospital, even a junkie in Atlantic City would give you better survival chances. The er room we were put in and forgot about for 10 hours had a blood stain on the floor and needle caps. No one came to see us to check on us at all. In 10 hours we spoke to someone 3 times. Once for urine test, once to take blood and finally the last visit was to remove the iv. We had to lay our coats on her to keep her warm since the guy we asked for a blanket never returned. Next time we're heading to a real hospital instead of this joke. Good luck to anyone who tries this hospital
