Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital

I had surgery here on Thursday and have already spent 3 nights. Everyone that has taken care of me has went over and beyond. I would definitely recommend Methodist to anyone needing surgery. Also, they have it where you can see estimated wait times for the ER on their website which makes it nice to know in advance how crowded it is.

Dads had a few knees replaced here and friends have gotten new hips (4). The staff has always been nice and seems to take good care of the patients. Much worse hospitals to be in!

I had my baby here in June. You could tell the nurses were busy, but they were all pleasant. I liked the private rooms and the cleanliness of the facility. They have a nursery but I kept my baby with me out of preference. I had 2 nurses in L&D. One was in training. They were great. Anything I needed they were there. In postpartum my first nurse was the most informative but that’s how it typically is and should be. The nurses in postpartum and nursery seemed to work in either 4 or 8 hour shifts. Because if this it made it difficult to keep up with when their shift ended and began. I have no complaints. I’m a RN myself and I work at another facility so I know how it is. The food served is typical hospital food. They have a grill and cafeteria so there are other options. I do love the hospital website. There’s a lot of helpful information there. I would go back and recommend to others. Also their newborn picture people are Lasting Expressions. We were so impressed with our newborn’s photos. A definite plus.

It’s been almost 10 months since our last visit when we thought my husband was suffering from a heat related illness. The ER staff is always extremely nice, fast and efficient and the ER is very, very clean.
Thank goodness for ER Doctor Foley. He had the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the insurance company and said, «No, we are doing a CT scan.» He found my husband had a brain tumor a little bigger than a golf ball.
That’s my kind of doctor! Thank you so very much.

The nurses and staff are all very friendly helpful and professional. The interior is extremely clean. The staff are friendly and compassionate. If you have to go to a hospital this is a pretty good place to be. I am impressed!

My mother was just discharged tonight. We had the best experience. The nurses in the Cardiac ICU were excellent! Winter, and Kimmy were truly a God send! Front desk clerk, Brenda, greeted us with the warmest welcome! Everyone was so kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend this hospital. Dr. Weksler rocks!!!

My son was born here in 2011 so it holds a near and dear place in my heart. Speaking of my heart, I was also treated in the ER here on Easter several years ago as well when I started experiencing an arrhythmia due to accidental overuse of one of those Vick’s Vapo-​Inhalers. Yes I know, stupid… well, I know it now! Wait, where was I?
The hospital and grounds are very well kept and there have been many recent renovations to improve the facility overall. The staff is great and I really have no complaints. My son was born with everything in all it’s normal places and I didn’t die in the ER. You can’t get much better than that when it comes to a hospital review, right?
Lastly, when my son was born on that cold winter day in 2011, I spent a lot of time in the cafeteria drinking coffee/​hot chocolate and wondering what I had gotten myself into! The cafeteria is very beautiful, clean and the staff is just great. The director of the department, I think his name was Richard Flippo, took a few minutes to sit with me and tell me a few stories about his own children and how being a dad would be much more exciting and joyous than Michael Keaton made it out to be. He was right (so far)!
Be well!

Nothing says «Happy 18^th Birthday» to my son like being rejected at an Methodist after hour Ped ER for 3 – 5 stitches for a jawbone gash caused in a Soccer game. Just now arriving at Memphis Methodist Hospital ER for a sit and wait to be stitched up visit! So far a three hour wait and just now to the back. No sign of Doc but remember this is An ER and we are here for a minor issue compared to most, so stay calm and be patient with all the staff. If you fell stressed try imagining how these folks fell. The ER is on the backside of the hospital for those who might be looking for it.

I was whisked here to the emergency room last winter when everyone in Tennessee seemed to have some sort of lung-​related illness. It was my first case of bronchitis in years and it quickly turned acute.
I was completely terrified, with the whole not-​being-​able-​to-​breathe situation, but the emergency room staff was well-​trained and calm. Admittance took under a few minutes, and I was moved to a curtained room with a comfortable bed. The emergency room was on the quiet side and clean. They had juice available and nice, warm blankets. It didn’t feel terribly institutional, and that calmed my already frazzled nerves.
My nurse, I think her name was Mary, was extremely calm, even when I asked her twenty questions about the medications they were administering. And, when a serious, but kind gentleman came in to give me my medication, he was fine with answering any questions that I had. He threw in that he was once a Green Beret — I felt a *little* sheepish about fearing a needle prick.
After a quiet, lights-​out night in my room with an IV, and being checked on frequently, I was finally discharged, given my prescriptions, and released. I was told to call if I didn’t feel better in a week. Overall, I felt very safe and comfortable in their care, and I would recommend them to those in the area needing urgent/​emergency care.

Methodist Germantown is a smaller hospital that serves the Germantown area. Germantown is a suburb of Memphis. A new Women’s and Children’s Pavilion recently opened and offers additional services.
I had my three children here and always had excellent care. They offer a variety of prenatal classes and you even get a Stork Meal after you have a baby. You can order steak and shrimp. While it is not a gourmet meal, it is definitely decent hospital food and a nice surprise for a new mom!
