Overall Review of Ira Davenport Memorial Hospital

common 26 reviews mention this

Staff bedside manner is mixed

Residents describe both very caring help and unprofessional treatment from staff.

Many reviewers say staff were pleasant, considerate, and responsive, with clear explanations and timely help in the ER. Others report rude, disrespectful, or dismissive interactions, including nurses or doctors who did not listen, did not provide updates, or were rough. Several comments also highlight that the experience can depend on who someone gets and the time of day.

caveat 22 reviews mention this

Wait times draw strong complaints

Wait times are a frequent reason some reviewers were unhappy.

A recurring issue is long waits in the emergency room—comments describe waiting hours to be seen, for x-rays, or for updates after check-in. Some reviewers contrast that with faster visits where they were treated quickly, so experiences appear inconsistent. For families, delays are especially frustrating when symptoms are worsening.

common 14 reviews mention this

Care quality and follow-through vary

Reviewers report uneven care, from excellent outcomes to missed attention.

Some residents describe fast, knowledgeable treatment, including prompt procedures and effective symptom management, sometimes citing care that helped them move on quickly. Others say they did not receive the care they needed, with concerns about incorrect diagnoses, insufficient pain relief, or discharge paperwork that did not match what was treated. Across reviews, communication and follow-through are tied closely to whether the visit felt successful.
