What Patients Say
Overall sentiment across review platforms: mixed

Patients praise
- Some patients report excellent, compassionate, and professional care from specific physicians and staff members

Common complaints
- Significant patient complaints regarding long emergency room wait times and hospital overcrowding
- Concerns over reduced access to care and worsening patient experiences since the 2021 acquisition by Concord Hospital
- Patient feedback indicates below-average performance in staff responsiveness, cleanliness, and noise levels at the Laconia facility
"Usually averaged eight to 12 hours to wait. Laconia is less of a wait because Concord is so crowded, everybody goes there. It looks like a MASH unit in there, they’re so overwhelmed."
— Union Leader reporting on public hearing comments"The care I received from the ER staff, physicians in both the ER and on the floor was amazing. I’m so so SOOOOO grateful for everyone at Lakes Region Hospital! Literally everyone is so friendly and compassionate."
