Overall Review of Southern Tenn Medical Center

common 22 reviews mention this

Nursing and care often stand out

Many reviewers describe the nursing team as kind, attentive, and professional.

A large share of reviews praise nurses for being sweet, compassionate, and attentive during ER visits, surgeries, and overnight stays. Multiple families also describe clear explanations and feeling supported by the staff, especially during higher-stakes moments like labor, recovery, and ICU care. A few reviewers still report the experience was negative, but the positive nursing theme is one of the most consistent across the comments.

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Doctors and bedside manner are mixed

Several reviewers say clinician bedside manner and communication fell short.

While many reviews emphasize professionalism, others describe dismissive or unprofessional interactions, including talk that felt disrespectful or ignoring symptoms. A few reviewers also say they left without answers or felt they were misdiagnosed, which led them to seek care elsewhere. Together, the comments suggest experiences can vary noticeably depending on the clinician and situation.

Wait times and scheduling frustrations

Some reviews complain about long waits and delays for testing.

Several reviewers mention time spent waiting—such as sitting in waiting rooms longer than expected or delays before tests and scans. A few specifically call out CT scanning delays, and others describe being sent to a waiting area despite ongoing severe symptoms. Even among reviews that were otherwise positive, wait-time complaints show up often enough to be a recurring issue.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and room condition concerns

A couple of reviews report unsanitary room conditions.

Some reviewers describe issues with room cleanliness and basic conditions, including reports of dirty or unclean areas and bedding. These complaints contrast with other reviews that say the hospital was clean and the stay was comfortable, suggesting cleanliness is not consistently described the same way across experiences.
