in 12/22 my doctor requested an abdominal ultra sound, in 1/23, they did the proceedure,p4romised an analysis and call... no call i found that the scan was occluded, and produced no results. in 2/23 doctor requested leg ultrasound, it was scheduled but the wrong test was performed, so no results, no call. finally my podiatrist scheduled another ultrasound. the morning before,an alert tech found that the previous test was not an ultrasound,asked if i could come in early..I take the bus, but was able to get there almost an hour early. I went to a window that said "heart and vascular. the woman informed me that she was in the heart dept. but that they shared an office.she would let them know i was there. 50 minutes later a woman came out a door and asked "is anyone here for vascular?"when i identified myself, she said i hadn't check in at the desk. i had checked in on mychart, and no one told me i had to check in again.the one star is for the alert tech who belatedly did the job of the staff and doctor. I just left. this department is not competent enough to deal with any medical problems.

Seen right away, nurses and doctor explained everything thoroughly, and talked through every medication they were administering and why. Great experience!

If you or your family member has a complicated medical history do yourself a lifesaving favor and go to a hospitalwith more advanced care and a well experienced team of specialists. It was recommended to have a family member be put to peace since there were complex medical conditions and the individual had to depend on medications. Basically it was on the order of put the family member out of their misery but the individual was not in a state of being terminal just felt the individual would eventually die from medical problems anyways. The doctor gave vague answers as to why and no specific reason as to why the patient needed to be put out of their misery at the moment. The doctor emphasized a holistic approach and how when the body isn’t working without medication their time is up. The doctors played God. Please go somewhere else.

My elderly parent fell and knew one of the culprits may be a UTI. While in ER, she specifically asked to please test for UTI. ER refused. Had sprained ankle, and after blood work and heart monitoring, sent her on her way. UTIs can kill elderly. Always have an advocate (for you) if possible at this ER because the intention and attention is on remote control (oh well, that person is old… who cares… no one will notice). Now day 4, waiting for the proper treatment for a UTI in full bloom.

Went there for major abdominal pain. Given an IV, then left to wait with no info for 3 hours ? Got up multiple times for the nurses, they said they would be in, then a different one would come. No pain medication prescribed, no Tylenol, just sitting and waiting with no information. Hours later, we have a scan, and we wait over an hour for nobody to read it that night. Should've went to Lehigh Valley instead

I just got off the phone with Pam. The operator at Miners in Coaldale. She is the absolute best. It was my 6th call this morning. She finally helped get a message to my Aunt's Nurses and Doctor. God bless you Pam. You are why we go to St. Luke's! The staff at this hospital are amazing!

My mother was recently in the hospital for recurrent bowel obstruction due to hernia repair surgery that a surgeon butchered her prior! The day of her discharge she came home extremely confused, wetting herself a couple times without knowing, ripping her clothes off! I had to call 911 the same day! Turns out she still had the obstruction they never bothered to check. Case manager Erin gives me a hard time demanding she's goes to rehab for PT. Fine but she accues me of abuse and neglect calling adult protective services. My mom and children are everything to me! The one Dr calls too that was caring for her this time! At Weatherwood the PA and the home nurse looks into her chart, really looks. Finds out they were giving her strong amounts of Dilaudid every few hrs. Making her confused and almost overdosing her almost killing her! They had to give her meds to bring her back, narcan I think. I was wrongfully accuesed! I've spoken to a lawyer. As a ordained minister of God, I'm not only sueing for defamation of character that could affect my profession but medical negligence and trying to cover it up. I hope people read till the end and are warned! Stand up for your rights and your family! Adding to my review. We already have a lawyer ready to take this case so DON'T TRY Me!! They will try to take your loved ones away wether killing them or putting them in a nursing home. ALL saint Luke's around pa is like this but now I know miners is the worst and I won't stand for it. I've always protected my mother and I will protect her now! Remember God's light will always destroy Satan's darkness!

Had an abdominal altrasound done at 8am on Monday. It is now Friday no results yet.I went to Miners so I wouldn't have to wait a week to get the procedure done. I'm going to wait a week anyway. Never again. In pain with no answers.

Absolutely horrible. One of the worst hospitals in the area. My advice, drive the distance to actually get the care you need from GOOD doctors. They were unable to even get a simple ultrasound done ultimately leaving my newborn in excruciating pain, crying for hours and hours in pain, and sending us home with nothing done. Drive to Allentown. Not to mention the dr gives concerned parents nasty faces when they are worried about their kids.

went in to get my stomach checked , was sat in a room basically by myself for 5 hours and didn’t get a single answer about my stomach and just told i was being sent home to pick up a medication i had told them i’d been on before from them and it didn’t do anything. they had a crooked iv in my arm the entire time and everytime i mentioned the pain and discomfort it was putting me through nothing was done. everytime i come here for serious things such as i did today absolutely nothing gets done. they do absolutely nothing in this er.

I had to visit the ER with my son for a swollen knee. He received the best care! Every person was wonderful starting with checking in, to the nurse, phlebotomist and doctor! Top notch care and they were all kind and compassionate!
