Overall Review of Lawrence Memorial Hospital

caveat 22 reviews mention this

Wait times come up often

Several reviewers describe long delays in getting assessed and treated.

A recurring theme in the reviews is that people feel stuck in emergency waiting areas for hours before they see a nurse, doctor, or get results. Some reviewers mention multiple room or staffing delays, including waiting without a room even after being told one would be ready. Others report that care took too long even when they believe they needed urgent attention, which left them feeling they had to go elsewhere for faster help.

Caring staff is a highlight

Many reviews praise staff who listen and provide reassuring bedside care.

Alongside the complaints, a large number of reviewers describe specific moments where nurses, physicians, or therapists felt attentive and supportive. Several people mention staff explaining what was happening, helping them feel calm, and responding quickly once care started. A few reviewers also single out therapy support as part of their improvement and recovery, describing it as helpful after a serious stay.

Billing disputes drive frustration

Billing problems and surprise charges are frequently criticized.

Multiple reviewers bring up billing as a major downside, including being overcharged, receiving multiple bills for the same visit, or dealing with billing delays and denials. Some describe difficulty getting issues resolved and itemized details when they requested them. Others report that billing added substantial stress after care, even when they felt the medical treatment itself was not the main problem.

Communication and records matter

A smaller set of reviews focuses on communication problems, such as missing or incorrect documentation, records not being available, or instructions that were incomplete. One reviewer describes concerns that information in an after-visit summary was inaccurate until an updated version was sent. Others mention delays or confusion around test results, records requests, or continuity between settings, which left them worried about whether follow-up could be handled correctly.

common 3 reviews mention this

Therapy and skilled nursing show up

A few reviews mention recovery support after serious stays, including intensive care and physical therapy that helped with mobility and getting back on their feet.
