Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital — Local services in Nacogdoches

During my spontaneous (had a seizure) visit to the Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital, I was instantly greeted with such warm and welcoming employees who were waiting on guests. They were so sweet and professional with me, it truly felt as though they genuinely cared about me and what they do. Everyone I saw was incredibly patient with me and gave me detailed explanations every step of the way, whilst checking in with me to see if I had any questions or concerns that would require further explanations. Every step of the way they would check in on me, to confirm that everything was okay and to see how my health was progressing. The environment of the establishment was inviting and easy on the eyes. I did not feel as if I was staying in a cold, sterile, white Hospital room; but instead a colorful and inviting room, where they treat you as family. I received five different services during my stay at Memorial Hospital. I was first put on a saline drip after getting my blood drawn for testing. During this the staff member was incredibly sympathetic to my plight against needle injection and not once held me in disdain or grow impatient of me. I was then brought to get a CAT scan and have a chest X-Ray where they made sure to accommodate me physical needs as during the time I needed to be wheeled around places. Lastly I experienced for the first time an EKG (electrocardiogram). At first I was incredibly nervous about this experience, but my nurse was incredibly supportive and delicate about the whole situation. All in all, I would definitely recommend visiting the Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital if a situation ever arises where you require professional medical care.

Also to nurse Jesse, you're...

My mom was taken to Memorial Hospital Er on Sunday. She was having chest pain, coughing, difficulty breathing, and a feeling of "drowning". The ER staff put her on oxygen, drew blood, and did a chest xray. The doctor ordered benedryl through her IV. I still don't know why the doctor ordered benadryl...it did not fit any of her symptoms. She then sat in the ER room for about 5 hours. When I asked the doctor for an update on Mom, he told me that she was not going to die and they would get to her when they had time. (Triage) By midnight she was transferred to Lufkin ST Luke's CHI hospital. At the Lufkin hospital, she was put in ICU care and diagnosed with a heart attack and a mild UTI. We found out that she had 2 blocked arteries and needed 2 stents put in. The cardiologist there was able to do the heart cath and put in the stents. My Mom and I are so thankful for the care and treatment from Lufkin ST Luke's CHI. I do not recommend Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital at all. It used to be a good honorable hospital but...

I would give 0 stars if it would let me. My daughter went to this hospital while visiting in that area. She told the dr that she was having random sharp shooting pains in her head that would come and go nonstop, and that she needed something to lessen them till she could get back to her home town and see her primary care physician.The dr did not listen to her and gave her a prescription and told her to take it when the pulsing starts. There is no pulsing just random sharp shooting pains that make her dizzy when they do happen. To top it off we can’t even get the prescription filled because there is not one pharmacy in Nacogdoches that is open 24 hours, and she can’t drive when taking the medication because it causes drowsiness to get back to her home town to se her PCP. I should not get a bill for this visit because this dr did NOT listen to my daughter, and she didn’t give her anything to help so it was a waste of time and money for NOTHING to be different than it was before she went to the ER!!!
