Families should be aware of significant inconsistencies in care quality between different hospital units and shifts. While many reviewers praise specific nurses and surgeons for being compassionate and professional, there are frequent, serious reports of long emergency room wait times, lack of physician follow-up, and communication breakdowns regarding diagnoses and appointments.

Key Review Excerpts

Staff is amazing, Edith is the one if you need anything, took care of my wife after surgery.

Post-surgical family member · Mar 2026★★★★★

I had an outpatient surgery scheduled at Trinitas Regional Medical Center and was a little concerned at first based on some of the reviews I had read. However, from the moment I checked in at admissions, everyone was very kind and professional.

Outpatient surgery patient · Mar 2026★★★★★

The nurses are sweethearts but after they do what they gotta do and tell you “The doctor will be with you shortly” you might as well pack your bag and go home because you will NOT see a doctor.
