Samaritan Albany General Hospital

I had an amazing experience with my nursing staff in labor and delivery.
The service is great.
Food is good.
The specialist and doctors are great too.
Not to mention Samaritan health has an amazing repayment plan and or if you qualify and you're going through stuff, they can waive your bill or give you a certain percentage off.
Really really impressed.
Thank you

A family member recently had a procedure with sedation. Every encounter from the imaging department scheduling staff, the outpatient surgery registration and scheduling, the nursing staff, and anesthesia was outstanding. We received competent and compassionate care every step of the way. I can’t thank them enough 🤗

I am man enough to admit when I was wrong. My last review was written in anger and honestly I don't remember writing it. But I have now spent four days here in the hospital these people do care every one of them I took a pretty bad fall last night which they helped me with tremendously and then literally right after that a poor gentleman came in and they had a massive heart attack they worked on him for so long fortunately he did pass they comfort his wife. These people are very kind and compassionate I didn't realize at the time they are looking out after me not every Angel has wings that show.

Great people, very knowledgeable and caring. Our experience was excellent. The waiting area was very comfortable and spacious. There were lots of places to sit, watch tv, or use a device. Battery low? No problem. Lots of places to plug in your device.

Recent surgery 11/17/23 at the short stay and I am absolutely amazed at how kind, understanding and personable the staff is. My favorite was Diane, she had to perform what you would call a different kind of strange request from Dr G and her care and warmness made the situation so much more bearable. I wish I could send a personal note to her boss, I hope they see this. You have one awesome nurse!!

The Cafe food is great. Generally low in fat and salt. The price is very decent. You may add things from the salad bar to your hot meal.Then it is simply weighed. The people that work there are very chirpy. Especially Akiko. She is so positive and her joy tends to be contagious. Then there is wes, the chaplain, who is a great listener, who is willing to help with any problems any of us may be having. Wow food for the body, mind, emotions and soul. 🥑🧀🍞🌈

The Neruses are good the doc I had is is one snobby Karen they don’t care you in pain don’t no recommend this place very rude on the other hand night shift is FANSTATIC!! If you get that one just request another doc 💯💯 they gonna get you right

Oh my gosh. Everyone here took such good care of my daughter. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and patient. They made sure we had what we needed to get her feeling better and took their time to explain everything and make sure she was doing better. They are amazing.

I went to this hospital to have a surgery to reduce and remove a stone in my Bladder. EVERY staff member was Informative, Professional, Reassuring and VERY Kind & Understanding. I am impressed with how patient and considerate any and every Staff Member that worked with me have been; Starting with the kindness of the Receptionists and extended through all the staff members, very much including Dr.Crane. This is the best experience I have ever had with a hospital in my entire life. I have a LOT of respect for the staff members of Samaritin Albany General Hospital & The Surgery Center. Also, this hospital was immaculately clean and very well maintained, I am impressed :-)

Had to be brought in after giving birth at home due to hemorrhaging and the labor and delivery ward and personnel are absolutely amazing. They treated me quickly and were kind and compassionate. I can't speak for the rest of the hospital as I have no experience with them but for future children I would definitely go there.

With hospital staff being overwhelmed I was amazed at the service we received in the ER. The nurses, X-ray tech and doctor took their time with me, we’re very thorough and compassionate and warm! They were also very accommodating to my husband. They were great at explaining things to us and giving us discharge instructions. I definitely recommend this hospital!

A lot of these Negative reviews sound like a bunch of Whiners. Constantly thinking how Entitled they are and their illness is more important than others - especially those who comment about the ER. ER is for for EMERGENCIES! All of the comments I've read for the ER cases should have gone to Urgent Care at the most!!

Recent surgery and over night stay was amazing. I stayed on the maternity ward and was treated so kindly by all staff I came In contact with. All of the nurses where very compassionate and helpful. Very accommodating. The most comfortable stay I have ever had.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a partial knee replacement at Samaritan Albany General Hospital. I was very impressed with how everything went so smoothly, from the time I checked in, to my discharge. Everyone was very professional, organized and friendly. The anesthesiologist Robbie (I believe that was his name), was the BEST I have ever had. All the nurses, staff and Misty on the 3rd floor (Joint Replacement Team ) were absolutely fantastic. They even had a bouquet of flowers waiting for me after surgery in my own private room with a view! The Physical Therapist Mitch was also very nice and caring. The food was delicious and kitchen staff were also great. Keep up the EXCELLENT work you do! Thank you again for a wonderful experience,

Took me almost 5 years to remember to make this review but my son was born here in may 2016 and the care team noticed within minutes of him being born that his breathing was not right. He was breathing but they noticed something very subtle that ended up saving his life. They recognized that he had air pockets on his lungs, something that is uncommon and in my opinion it was hard to tell there was anything wrong at all. They did not wait to make the call that they needed to transfer my son to a NICU. They saved his life by giving him the absolute best care they could while he was there. They tried to take very good care of me as well but when the time came that I needed to leave to be with my son, they let me do so, even though I was going against their word due to just having an epidural. I thank their whole labor and delivery team for my sons life. I have an almost 5 year old that easily could have not made it but did because of the attentive staff at this facility. I am grateful every single day

It's a very good hospital. My mother was very sick and Dr. Marc Houston and his nurse Richard Andrews were very compassionate and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Added later: Early this fall I had an emergency c-section at this hospital. I was very impressed with how quickly they got me in, prepped the room, reassured me, and then the mother/baby ward took such great care of me. The room was quiet, the food was good, and I knew that if I needed something that the nurses would come and help me. It meant so much to have such care right after such a traumatic experience.

After accidentally falling from a second story window I was transported immediately by medics- big shout out to the night shift crew and doctor that quickly stabilized me and lifeflighted me to Portland where I spent weeks recovering. You are all heroes and don’t get acknowledged enough for your hard work- thank you!

On September 21 of this year I had knee replacement surgery at your facility, from pre surgery to post surgery and release every surgeon, nurse, cna I had contact with exceeded my expectations. You employ the most qualified people in the medical field. Thank you for all you did for me.

My dad was taken to Albany General during the ice we had on the roads recently. It wasn't safe for the ambulance to to to Corvallis, where we were most familiar with the hospital and doctors. I was concerned after the reviews I'd read online, but was enormously impressed with the care he has received and the constant communication with his doctors and nurses.

Between my different family members medical needs I have been in the caretaker position many, many times over the last 30 years and am VERY familiar with multiple hospitals. I feel my dad's care was the best he could have received for his condition. They were very on top of running every test needed, yet prudent on rushing to surgery when he likely is high risk for survival if it comes to that. They have kept me informed every step of the way and respected my wishes along with their professional opinion.

All staff has treated him with care and dignity, even when his state of dementia made it pretty difficult for them.

I want to thank the doctors, nurses, CNAs, therapists and all staff who are taking such good care of him.

When I spoke of the care God provided for me, especially this last week, I forgot to mention that I was blessed and impressed by the level of care, compassion and kindness provided to me by some of today's young people. First off, the two young men at Winco who took the time and effort to unload, check, bag, reload and then transfer my groceries to my car. Then there were the young fireman and paramedics that assisted in caring for and getting me to the hospital. Once there, I was surrounded by young people concerned with my wellbeing that were elated and excited when the medication started working. I am so appreciative of each one who played a vital role in God's plan for me. Then there are MY young nurses, assigned one on one care of me. I and my life was of value to them as if I were an endeared relative seeking their care. I must say I met some amazing human beings during all of this and will always be grateful to have been treated in a manner that showed the value they place on the life of another as opposed to just being present another day at their JOB. I could stay they restored my faith in humankind, however that is a saying, and my faith is in and belongs to God. Let's just say, even in this crazy world, goodness and kindness abound. Just keep and never quit looking.
