Overall Review of Gottlieb Memorial Hospital

caveat 22 reviews mention this

Emergency room waits frustrate families

Many reviewers describe long emergency-room waits before care.

A recurring theme is that families waited far longer than expected for assessment, imaging, or treatment. Multiple reviews describe sitting in waiting areas for hours, including cases where people left before being seen or felt they were deprioritized. Several accounts also mention limited communication about timing and staffing in the ER area.

common 26 reviews mention this

Compassion and kindness vary by team

Reviewers mention both very caring clinicians and dismissive staff.

Some reviewers give strong praise to nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff for being kind, attentive, and patient-focused. Others describe rude behavior, poor bedside manner, and a lack of empathy during urgent visits. A number of comments also single out specific caregivers as attentive and helpful, even when the overall ER experience fell short.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Cleanliness gets mixed feedback

Several reviewers report cleanliness concerns in patient spaces.

While some reviewers say the hospital was clean, others describe dirty floors, unclean rooms, and unpleasant conditions in ER or exam areas. A few accounts mention visible mess on floors and stained bedding, with guests concerned about hygiene during care. The mixed feedback suggests cleanliness can vary by area and time, according to reviewers.

common 2 reviews mention this
