To date, Trinitas Regional Medical Center has average ratings of 2.4 and 2.0 out of five stars, respectively, based on 165 Google reviews and 29 Yelp reviews. </p> <p>Those dissatisfied with the treatment they received consistently cited <strong>long wait times and a lack of proper patient care</strong>: "You are better off driving 30-45 away to a better hospital where you'll probably be seen by a doctor, get treated, drive home, eat something, go to sleep, wake up - and still be done by the time you would've been released from Trinitas," E.F. wrote in a representative review.</p> <p>Despite these criticisms, many reviewers held the center’s staff in high regard. “Overall, the staff does go out of their way to provide you with care and offer their services. The housekeeping staff, nurse aides, LPNs, RNs, social works, etc go above and beyond in every department, including emergency,” wrote Google reviewer J.C. in one such report.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one to have completed a Rehabs.com survey as of this writing awarded the hospital four out of five stars for treatment effectiveness, adding: “Treatment was good."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Trinitas Regional Medical Center is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NJ17.pdf" target="_blank">one of 89 (25.9 percent of) facilities in the state of New Jersey that accepts Medicare, one of 209 (60.8 percent of) that accept Medicaid, and one of 222 (64.5 percent of) that accept commercial health insurance</a>.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> [GoogleReviews}(https://www.google.com/search?q=Trinitas+Regional+Medical+Center+225+Williamson+St%2C+Elizabeth%2C+NJ+Write+a+review&oq=Trinitas+Regional+Medical+Center+225+Williamson+St%2C+Elizabeth%2C+NJ+Write+a+review&aqs=chrome..69i57.483j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89c24d4d84abf3a1:0x1c033e51185c115,1,,,)</small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/trinitas-regional-medical-center-elizabeth-3" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/trinitas-regional-medical-center-elizabeth-3</a></small></p>
