Having been a patient here many times, I have never met a more caring, compassionate, group of men and women. Having to spend months confined inside a hospital, You tend to get closer to the staff then if you'd only been there a few days. I can't speak highly enough for all those who go far beyond their job description, to care for the sick and dying. God Bless each and everyone of you.

Honestly, this hospital is awful in many ways. If you Can go somewhere else, then you should! I tried to make an urgent same day appointment, got bounced around, and when I finally got a hold of who I needed, waited Hours to hear back from a nurse to even Make the appointment, called back to leave Another urgent note when I hadn’t heard back Still, and NEVER HEARD BACK AT ALL. I had to waste all that time to make an apt somewhere else. This is not to mention a Botched surgery I experienced here as well. If your issues is urgent or important Go Somewhere Else!

I came to Dartmouth by ambulance. I stayed in the ICU for two nights three days. I was considered an ICU patient for the first night only. It was a pleasant experience and they did a good job with everything, the only thing that I have to bring up and mention is that there were two nurses that made comments regarding my situation that they had no idea what it was about and what happened. They should not have made these comments. It was inappropriate and they knew nothing about my situation or why I was there.

The Traveling Fool

Apr 4, 2022

I was in Ortho as a travel nurse. The employees there are so helpful to each other and to the patients. I have never seen anything like it. The patients have almost constant access to their team of doctors. As a nurse, if I needed to communicate with the patient's whole team, it just took a simple message on the computer and most often a resident or physician would show up within minutes. Also, since we communicated in that way, any message that was sent from anyone on that team, including social workers, doctors, nurses, would be seen by everyone. That really helped me to care for the patients and to know what was going on with them and their care plan at all times. I will say it was shocking to me that often that patients were angry and abusive toward staff even though the care they were receiving was phenomenal. This is one of few hospitals I've worked at that I would feel comfortable being a patient at yet every day we were yelled at and lied about. As far as anyone else considering working there as a travel nurse, I think overall it was great. There aren't a lot of restaurants in the area or much to do though.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

You should be able to contact the new provider and tell them that you're interested in doing this and they can generally take it from there. If the existing provider is part of Dartmouth Health, you shouldn't have to transfer any hospital records to the new provider.

Reasons to press a call bell?

Brittany Bennett | Aug 27, 2019
Trisha Ford | Aug 27, 2019

Absolutely as Kristen mentioned! If you're in need of help whether that means assistance getting to the bathroom, need a drink, cup of ice, something to eat, help working the TV, need medication, etc. If you're in the bathroom use the call bell or pull the string if you've fallen, need any help because there's something you can't do alone (standing back up, showering, etc). Don't be afraid to use it! They're very nice about coming to help someone who needs help!

There is a line you can call to find out who is accepting new patients. Do you want care for a family with children? You can get a pediatrician for them and internal med for you. Or you can choose a family practitioner for everyone.
