Methodist North Hospital

Great hospital, Great food matter of fact it’s a five star food cafeteria. Excellent hospital ER an Doctors very good.

I think bedside manner is just a thing of the past, not entirely sure. The wait was insane and it wasn’t even that busy. We were moved to «fast track» and if that is supposed to really be faster… um… it wasn’t. 4 hours later my husband was taken back for an xray and an hour later we were able to leave. It took three hours to give him a pain pill. When we finally did see people, the nurses and «doctor» (not even sure she was one) were all so rude.

ER nurse Eva Murphy… the rudest most hateful healthcare provider EVER. Felt it was OK to eavesdrop on a private conversation. Yelled at a frightened 74 year old heart patient who was, speaking privately to his son. Told the heart patient (my Dad) that he didn’t «have to stay there, remember you came here for help, we didn’t come to you.» Made this ill man confused and and upset. All my Dad said, in a closed curtain area, was he didn’t want to take a stress test. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to complete it. She was hateful and rude. I hope she sleeps well knowing she was a ugly person today.

Impressed. Fastest ER I’ve been
in memphis. clean and friendly, caring staff.

My mother was a patient here 8 times in 6 months before she died of cancer. The staff was amazing. The nurses took excellent care of her, the doctors were great, even the guy who brought her food tray, he always remembered her and when he saw that she was back in he would make a separate trip to bring her the juice she liked. When she died at least three nurses on the floor cried real tears with our family. They really cared.

I had to have a total knee replacement last month, and my doctor wanted to do it at the joint replacement center at Methodist North. I was hesitant because living in Hernando, this was the farthest hospital away, so I knew the daily drive for my husband would be a bear. But my surgeon was right, and I’m so glad we went with his recommendation! The staff was wonderful, and I’ve never stayed in nicer facilities. The rooms are private and huge! And it was wonderful having physical therapy right there and so easy to handle. The staff was great, and they made my stay as pleasant as it could be, considering that no hospital stay is fun. My only complaint, and the reason I didn’t 5 star it, was that I didn’t get any post-​op instructions leaving the hospital. I got paperwork about the prescriptions I was given, but nothing about wound care or follow-​up. My physical therapist said this wasn’t unheard of since so many TKR patients go from the hospital to rehab instead of straight home like I did, but it had us concerned and unsure about how to care for things our first few days home.

When we discovered my father had cancer, we had to make sure he got surgery as soon as possible. Most of the hospitals had long waiting lists, and we didn’t have time for that, so we had him admitted to Methodist North.
The staff and nurses were very courteous. This might have been because they are less jam packed with patients, such that they can spend time with patients more. I don’t know. But it was a good experience, and I recommend the hospital assuming that they have specialists you need for your procedure.
