Southern New Hampshire Medical Center

Go here for your mammograms! Especially if you find them painful. I have fibromyalgia and most mammograms make me cry, even if I take pain meds beforehand. They offer mammogram pads to all patients upon request. This gives about 80% pain reduction. Mammograms are still uncomfortable, but I can tolerate them now. This is the only place I found within 150 miles of Boston that has this option.

My 84 year old mom went to emergency room. My wife over heard ER doctor at nurse station calling my mother «crazy». My mom was transferred to MA. hospital and was diagnose with dementia. Hospital sent us a survey form and we mention the rude
ER doctor and to this day we haven’t received any apology. Horrible ER doctor and apparently management looks the other way instead of resolving complaints. My advice-​find a better hospital that cares for people.

Though the hospial suffers from a lack of signs needed to clearly show you how to get around the place (typical of hospitals in general) and the fact that the lobby café is a cash-​only business (??) I have to say that this is the best hospital in the area. The staff is friendly, cheerful, helpful, and pleasant to deal with. It seems to me — based on my experiences with other area hospitals — that only the best nurses are hired to work here — very professional… The Emergency Room is the best trauma center in the area (avoid the St. Joseph’s ER at ALL COSTS!).

My wife and I just had our daughter here and had an exceptional experience at their birthing center. The nurses were extraordinarily helpful, enthusiastic and supportive. The rooms were all new, clean, comfortable and warm. Whereas when my wife gave birth to our first daughter, she delivered in a well-​known prominent New York City Hospital we had to pay $ 700 out-​of-​pocket for a private room per night (and that was with the employee discount!) we were pleased with the fact that all rooms were private and a fold out couch was available for dads. The bathrooms were clean and spacious with a soaking jaccuzzi. The physicians were excellent; the only unusual aspect (and this may be the way coverage has been arranged there) is the fact that the OB who will be performing the delivery is a bit random — it wasn’t our regular obstetrician who did it and it’s always unusual to meet the doctor the day of delivery. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it.
In terms of the hospital food, it was excellent. The entire institution is clean and the people in general are helpful and friendly.

Also known as Memorial Hospital… Really great hospital, great staff, cohesive operations. I don’t understand why it’s so close to St. Joseph’s though. Spent some time in the OR, PACU, ICU, cardiac floor, ER, you name it! This place runs smoothly. Everyone I’ve met here has been quite friendly and helpful.
The cafeteria is quite good actually (plenty of healthy options) and inexpensive. My favorite is the squash soup and sauteed vegetables.
Parking is a nightmare (for staff/​interns at least).
