Tobey Hospital

I was not admitted here, but was seen outpatient for pre-​employment screening. The lab techs, phlebotomists, and administrative staff here are amazing. To make a long story short, the company managing my pre-​employment testing had screwed up scheduling for every single test I had, and ended up sending me here as a last resort (I Iive in BOSTON). Previously, I had tried unsuccessfully to get blood work done an hour and a half north of Boston.
The staff here bent over backwards to help me get my blood work done, which involved many failed faxes, emails, and hour long phone calls on hold. One of the phlebotomists even skipped her lunch to help me.
I am so appreciative of the time the staff put in to make sure that I didn’t have to go to a fourth clinic to get my blood work done. So much thanks!

Worst hospital ever! Went in there for anxiety, they suggested it was my heart and admitted me. After thousands of dollars in testing, it was anxiety (exactly what I told them). they still wanted to put a stent in me for «preventive maintanence. WHAT?. Was there 2 years ago too for chest pain, they again said it could be my heart, it was gas (stayed there 4 days and thousands of dollars in heart testing before they figured it out). they have another hospital in Fall River that specializes in Heart surgery, coincidence? I think not. Stay away from this butcher shop.

ER staff was wonderful!!! Dr. Durfee was extremely knowledgeable… all of the nurses that cared for me were great!!! Very compassionate.

Totally impressed by this hospital!
Everyone was extremely professional and very caring.
ER process moved quickly and Doctors, nurses, etc., were extremely receptive to our needs and concerns.

I went to the Er because my fiancé was having trouble breathing. I will give it to them they do take you in pretty fast but the staff was rude. They asked him for his emergency contact and he pointed to me and said «she is.» The lady asked with an attitude who I was and he said «that’s my fiancé.» Then she asked if he would rather put down a family member!
I’m sorry but that’s unprofessional and rude! He’s 28 years old and was treated like a sixteen year old.
The doctor was miserable. He seemed to know his stuff though.
You would think in this economy they would be more friendly because Jordan hospital isn’t that far away.
I agree with the last person about the Er waiting room. I had to go outside to get a drink out of a vending machine Which isn’t a huge deal but it would be more convenient if they had a food and snack machine inside.
All in all even though the people were miserable and rude I’d give them another try only because of their promptness. I had a bad stomach bug a few years ago and Taunton hospital left me in the waiting room for 3 hours.

ER was very good and efficient (I am used to Hell’s waiting room at Good Sam in Brockton), excellent triage, docs and nursing staff. Reg ward care was good too, no complaints… seems a very caring staff.
Now for the important part, the food! Cafeteria is very small and only open nutty hours (just meal times during the week and closed on weekends which I find hard to fathom). So if you’re visiting and want a coffee, you need to walk across the street to the Cumby’s. When it is open, the menu is brief and its poorly staffed with one poor soul during the dinner period. But, tonight they pan sauteed to order, shrimp alfredo over angel hair to order! Great for the recipient, not so hot for the poor bastard waiting to buy a bag of chips! I had the homemade French meat pie and it was excellent, very tasty with a real lard infused pastry crust. Portions are the biggest I’ve had in hospital, the plate weighed well over a pound and it was $ 5.25 with mashed red bliss and Cali veggies.
They should put a simple coffee kiosk in the ER waiting area or something, to have no refreshments at all in a place this size is ludicrous.
