This would have to be the top worse hospitals you could ever go to
The staff are very disrespectful, they act as if they hate their job it’s just awful, they don’t prioritize patients they are always gloomy, they will have you waiting 3+ hours to be seen just to tell you they can’t help you etc , they will argue you down when you try to tell them about their attitude. i just cannot believe this hospital. the doctors will diagnose you with things you don’t even have, they gave my cousin a pill to take for pain while she was 3months pregnant and she lost the baby, i just cannot believe this hospital, it’s the absolute WORSE.

Hi, my name is Sharon H If I could give zero stars, I would. I came to the ER 01/06/2025 at 12:11am for abdomen pain. They were quick to register me and get me triaged an I also gave a urine sample I then waited over an hour in the waiting room. A nurse came to get me just to inform me that we were only going back for lab work and it would be hours before I would be seen. In which it was. When I expressed again that I was having severe abdominal pain that was migrating into my lower back, She then informed that she doesn’t know how much longer I’ll have to wait. Two hours of being in the waiting room I was called to come back to where I was appointed a bed in the hallway I ask again do you know how longer I have to wait. I was told I don’t know. Now at this point I began to become frustrated as I’m waiting everyone have multiple conversations going on that doesn’t has nothing to do with the job a hour of waiting in the hallway a nurse stop by and say I’ll be back right to take your nose swab and I ask why am I getting a nose swab and she couldn’t answer the question she replied I don’t I just seen a order for it and I told her I refused to do a nose swab unless it connected to my abdominal pain. I left a urine at the front an she draw my blood an yet no results. Now the doctor stop by for a quick second I literally blink my eye and she was gone, she said hello and what is your reason for your visit. I told her an she listen to my breathing and she responded and said someone is coming to get you shortly to have a ct scan. 39 minutes later he came to get to do my scan an put me back in the hallway So now I’m being told I have to have a ct scan and I said okay now two more hours has passed by after my ct scan no one stop to ask was I okay, did I need anything, no results. I almost felt as if I was invisible. This is the first time I’ve ever gone to any kind of hospital and didn’t get any treatment or assistance.I would never recommend this ER take the drive to Savannah or Charleston at least you would get help.I live in Beaufort since 2023 and I have not heard one good thing from anyone. I now understand why. Residents should not have to travel everywhere to get better care.4:43am I walked out without any results any treatment any help. I wonder if they know I left!

Nurse in ICU accused patients family of pressuring that patient to leave the hospital. Family asked what they were keeping patient for. Family never got an answer. Nurse was rude to say that to family members. I do not recommend this hospital .

Went to the ER for a medical emergency. Had not eaten in 2 days and had feeding tube. ER was under construction and was given a tiny room with no bed and a very uncomfortable chair. My back hurt so bad I could not sit and spent 30 mins crying until a nurse showed up and had to beg to have a cot moved into the room to get into a comfortable reclining position. There was zero privacy as you heard a nurse discuss every patient's private issues. It was like being in a torture chamber. I was given no fluids for dehydration. Medication had to be delivered by mouth instead of by feeding tube. Was never seen by a doctor, only by a nurse fractional. Was not referred to a needed specialist upon discharge. Was not any better upon discharge and the whole experience was worse than going to a regular dictor appointment. To be charged emergency expenses was a huge scam. Worst ER experience ever. Communication, which was never private was horrible. Do not recommend this emergency room, if you can call it that. Please go anywhere else for more private care. Wish I could give a negative star review instead of a one star. Health care is horrible in Beaufort, SC.

DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY UP FRONT!
On May 28, 2025 I went to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for lab work. I was asked to pay $75.00. I told them that according to my medical insurance plan with United I do not pay for lab work (the hospital is in my network). I know this to be a fact. The girl said “my manager told me”. Well instead of calling the insurance company who would have told her that I am not required to pay a deductible or out of pocket cost for this – she just kept saying “my manager, my manager, blah blah blah”. So I ended up paying. When I got home, I called my insurance company and they said I should not have had to pay for this. I then contacted Beaufort Memorial again and told them that I am owed a refund. After speaking countless times to Judy, Valerie, Norma, Erica, Amanda, Jennifer, Crystal, Erica, Josh and probably every person who works there, they said the a long list of things had to happen first before I’ll ever see my refund. I have filed a complaint with the SC Attorney General’s office and they are looking into this.

Shame on you. I will not go back
I had a 14 hour experience in n ER, all sitting in a chair while quite ill. I’m an RN and I know a few of the tests take less than 30 minutes to complete. The waiting room, restrooms and patient areas were filthy. There was a lack of privacy for patients in the area I sat in the most, with the numbered chairs. I did not need to hear everyone’s health issues, diagnosis and treatment. How do you get away with HIPPA violations like these? I ran an outpatient surgery center for 20 years and the state department of health and Medicare would have shut us down based on my observations.

Made her wait in the ER’s lobby until she went unconscious
My sister suffered a catastrophic neurological event and was driven to Beaufort Memorial’s ER. Despite the hospital having her medical history which noted a previous related condition, the hospital staff made her wait in the ER’s lobby until she went unconscious and failed to transport her to a more advanced and capable hospital. That was on a Friday night. By Sunday morning she was pronounced dead.

I’m gladly never coming back here
This place I’m gladly never coming back here we have been here for 5 hours we called the nurse 3 times and it seems like she doesn’t care because she never came in the room we want to leave but they won’t let us until the doctor comes again and he “busy with someone more sick then my sister” but we just want to leave at this point.

I am a doctor and was treated like trash
I will never go there again. The nursing staff and doctors are deplorable. It was the most horrible ER experience I have ever experienced. There were so many people coming into the ER and I got ignored for 24hrs. One admin assistant actually cursed at me because I wanted to use my cell phone. She told me they were tracking everything I did on my cell phone and than made me give it up to her. If you are a 100% disabled veteran you don't want to go there.

The ER is a disaster!
The front desk staff are not empathetic at all. The nurses are hit and miss. Some are super caring while others do not take you seriously. I had to return twice due to "acid reflux". I knew it was something more serious. The second time I came back, they informed me that they are glad I came back because I could have died from a blockage.The surgical staff and main hospital were great and personable! Doctors were also very helpful and caring. I stayed in the hospital for a couple of days and had surgery shortly after my stay.
