  2. (Translated by Google) That hospital is a scam I went to get a vaccine and there I was waiting for about 4 hours and they never attended to me as I was carrying my children then they were hungry and I left and right now they are charging me …

  3. Honestly I wish I could give 0 stars, but unfortunately to write a review, you have to give 1. The lack of compassion is insane. If you are stable enough to make it literally anywhere else, I absolutely would.

  11. Poor ER who puts someone with lower back injury in a hard chair. Doctors no idea what there doing this Hospital is nothing but a joke owner needs to step 8n and make some needed changes.

  12. They are so slow I came in with a temperature of 103 and they kept calling people who came in after me back. I have a sore throat and a headache. Worse hospital besides gadsden.

  13. Quadruple bypass 4 years ago. Presented tonight with a possible stroke (have 9 tias) after a 2 1/2 hour wait I still have not been seen. This place stinks! Would be a nice place for a hospital.

  14. Wife went in pregnant told them she was bleeding. They only ran blood work told her that her hormones were too low to be pregnant. She miscarried at our house later that night.

  19. Dekalb regional is by far the worst hoapital/E.R. facility that I have ever been too. They will straight up let you suffer and die if you don’t have enough money/insurance to pay them because they a privately owned facility. They need to be …

  20. Friendly & sweet staff. Everyone did a wonderful job helping my wife after she had reactions to everything given her for gallbladder surgery back in November at Thanksgiving . Job well done & my wife is doing better.

  21. Came in 4 hours ago with chest pain and shortness of breath. They didn’t give me the aspirin till after I got a room 45 minutes ago. And I believe there is blood on my wall.

  22. I think this hospital needs a new company and it sucks.. they don’t take care, unprofessional, takes there time while people are actually dying out there and they need to get sued. This hospital will NOT help you and is very dangerous …

  26. I went to the hospital with blood coming out my nose and mouth. The doctor suggested that I gently lay my finger on the side of my nose and it would stop bleeding. I was holding a glass with paper towels and blood clots I have been spitting out. He claimed he didn’t see any bleeding and sent me home. They did nothing to help me!

  27. The Emergency Department!
    The staff at DRMC ED work hard to provide prompt, thorough care with a compassionate, caring approach. Tonight we had to seek care for our daughter who was very …

  28. My wife sat out there in the emergency waiting room with stomach pain for 3 hours before even being seen. Them saying they need to wait on more nurses to come in. I will never go back to this hospital again unless I need a band-aid. That’s all that y’all are good for I guess.

  29. My mother went in for a procedure her doctor is doctor Cole. He is great. He will stay with you and answer questions as long as you ask them. When in ICU her nurse was Robert. Could not ask for a more caring person. I am very greatful …

  30. Staff at Registration is incompetent. Nurses have great attitudes, but supplies are terrible in case you need an iv. They use very big needles and don’t numb the area. The administrator is……

  31. Currently still sitting in the E.R. waiting room. It has been close to 4 hours. To top it all off the person that is supposed to be seen is my 2 month old daughter. I understand triage and priority, but this is ridiculous. A 4 hour wait time for an E.R. that isnt even that busy is insane. By far the worst hospital I’ve ever been to.

  32. No one ever answers the phone number that was given on a bill that was sent to me. I’ve called numerous times. They’re always closed. The bill also says to go to their website to pay the bill. …

  33. Went to E.R. for kidney stone pain. Not too bad for emergency but unbearable pain. No one in waiting room, and made me wait 2 hours to get in while screaming and vomiting until I begged them to let me in and they had bad attitude. When I …

  34. I am rather new to the area and was very apprehensive about my surgery and stay at this hospital. Several people have told me it was a bad hospital but with no real examples. Eleven days post surgery and I have nothing but good things to …

  35. I took my mother here due to a staff infection, they prescribed her the very things she had listed as allergic to, so I had to take her back. I brought in my girlfriend with a high fever and screaming in pain, they had us wait in the lobby …

  36. Took my Fiancé there with Covid. Her 02 level was 88-89. They took her in their ER. Ran blood tests and xrays. Said she had pneumonia in both lungs and a UTI. Gave her steroids, antibiotics, and liquids and sent her home with 5 …

  37. I was recently a patient in the radiology department for a MRI with arthrogram. Dr. Mill’s was very compassionate and did a fabulous job with the joint injection. Kathy, Alisha, and Josh went above and beyond to make my procedure a great experience! so glad we have such a great place in our town.

  38. I hate to be like this, I do, but this all needs said.
    I want to start by saying, I don’t go to the ER, and my husband doesn’t go to the ER, unless we feel like something is actually wrong. Currently my husband has …

  39. The doctors and nurses have poor service. I took my son here at 1 in the morning and we just sat there until 4:00 that morning and I went up to the desk and the nurses and doctors were just sitting their cussing a lot and then they turn …

  40. My child suffered an injury while our family was camping several weeks ago. I was nervous about using this facility, but my husband decided it was the right choice, and I am so glad. The ER staff quickly took and sent x-rays to the …

  41. Unable to retrieve medical records without harrasment after my brothers death. Very ugly and hateful “medical records department”, NOT professional at all. So his burial insurance is on hold without this… No respect… They say it might be up to two weeks ? But why its not that hard to print out.

  42. The staff are always rude. They give you a fake smile. They are not helpful at all. The admin stay on their phones or talking to one another instead of helping the patients waiting. I think some have done this job they are miserable and …

  43. These people are Awesome. Went to emergency room with head laceration due to a fall. They kept me over night in ICU for observation. At the time I had nothing. No job, nothing. These guys not only operate in the black but they are …

  44. Overall great experience! ER wait was long but it was crowded. Dr. Cole the ED physician and Dr. Beard the cardiologist were both AMAZING. The hospital did an awesome job at recruiting these two talented young physicians.

  48. I do not recommend this hospital’s ED (emergency department) at all! I went in and sat in their waiting room for hrs and hrs. This is not a place I will be going back to anytime soon! My husband and I are new to the area and it saddens me …

  49. The only reason I’m giving 1 star is because I couldn’t leave a zero star review. I got into a car accident and had a severe ankle sprain. First off they would not give me anything for the pain while I was in the ER and left that night …

  50. Brought one of our employees to the ER due to work place accident. Only had a pressure bandage on a cut from a grinder that needed stitches, He was bleeding that was 50 minutes ago and still no doctor or nurse. I asked if he were to bleed in the floor would that speed things up . Nope . If you need medical care here good luck!!!

  64. I only had experience with the maternity ward as a visitor, but the hospital seemed clean and safe. The maternity ward staff were hit and miss. Some were very helpful and friendly and others were distant and seemed uncaring.

  65. Waited at the counter for someone to check me in for at least 10 minutes. If it was a life or death situation it wouldn’t have went well. I’ve been here for nearly 2 hours and still not seen by a doctor. It’s an EMERGENCY room. This problem …
