Overall Review of Christiana Emergency Department
caveat32 reviews mention this
Wait times drive most complaints
Long waits are a recurring problem in the reviews.
Many reviewers describe waiting for hours in the lobby or after being called back, including cases where people said they left before seeing a doctor. Some residents acknowledge that emergencies can require prioritizing by severity, but still report delays they felt were excessive. A number of comments also connect the wait to worsening pain or frustration with feeling left without updates.
A strong portion of the reviews praise nurses and other team members for being kind, respectful, and attentive. Several reviewers say staff treated them well during painful situations and made them feel calmer or more comfortable while waiting. There are also specific mentions of caregivers speaking kindly, checking on patients, and providing care that felt thorough.

Communication and follow-through feel inconsistent
Some reviewers say they received limited updates during care.
Some reviewers report not being kept informed about delays or next steps, including not knowing why they were waiting or when they would be seen. Others mention dissatisfaction with how issues were handled after the visit, describing a lack of follow-through when they tried to get corrections. A smaller set of comments also contrasts this with visits where people say they received status updates.

Misdiagnosis and missed seriousness concern
A subset of reviews raise concerns about diagnosis and appropriateness.
Several reviewers say they left with concerns that were missed or that their condition was not handled the way they expected, including examples of later diagnoses elsewhere. Some also describe feeling that their symptoms or medical history were not taken seriously. There are also a few reviews describing equipment limitations or a diagnostic test they felt was not reliable enough to explain outcomes.

A number of positive comments describe the facility as clean and note smoother check-in when they arrived at certain times. At the same time, some reviewers focus on crowded waiting areas and describe discomfort while waiting. Overall, comments about the environment tend to be mixed, with a clearer split between brief positive visits and longer, higher-friction experiences.
