East Alabama Medical Center Reviews ( 250 )

  1. IAM A FORMER PATIENT @THIS FINE MEDICAL CENTER. IT’S BY FAR THE BEST HOSPITIAL IN EASTERN ALABAMA & WESTERN GEORGIA WITH ONLY ONE EXCEPTION;ST. FRANCIS IN COLS.GA. THOSE FOLKS@EAMC WILL LOOKOUT&TAKE CARE OF YOU.WITH A VERY HIGH SURVIVAL RATE.THE MOST EXCELLENT CANCER&RADIOLOGY CENTER BEING IM A CANCER PATIENT MYSELF

  2. Don’t take a loved one here cause they don’t let you know if they are alive or dead even after waiting 5 hours and when you call to check on them they keep you in a phone circle so you will give up

  3. This is the worst hospital I ever been to and nasty at that you will die if you depend on there staff. I will never recommend this sorry excuse for a hospital. Go to your local veterinary hospital at least they care about you.

  4. this is the WORST hospital i have ever been to. it’s a joke. everyone here is concerned with laughing and cutting up and not concerned about the patients. do not come here unless every hospital in the world is closed

  5. My son is very sick we got here at 9:50pm and they still haven’t called us back and its 11:36pm almost another day. I’ll never in life cum back here I’ll rather die.

  6. Took my son to this place, got a ct scan on him and was told he didn’t have nothing. Took him to the hospital in montgomery the next morning comes to find out he has the flu and pneumonia wow what a POS never come back here

  7. Long wait times but my #1 complaint is the complete void of customer service/friendliness in the ER. Ive never seen it so consistently bad anywhere else.

  8. I had an MRI done and they sent it out to review (without my knowledge, permission or informing me) to a second party that was out of my network causing me to pay both in market and out of market deductibles.

  9. This place is a joke! Where is the COMPASSION? Not every person that comes in is looking for a high or whatever you guys think. I know you are busy people but damn y’all, its the little things that make a difference. For instance the least you can do is come turn the I.V. off when it gets done running….

  10. Been waiting in the er for 6 hours, it’s not really their fault, the population has probably quadrupled since this one was built. Once again, just another problem created by enticing non working, unemployable people to the area without thinking about infrastructure.

  11. The Er is always over packed when I’m there. It is also one of the dirtiest hospitals I’ve seen. Some staff members are attentive while others seem to have bad attitudes and service.

  12. This hospital has way too many hands in the fire. Instead of taking over ALL of LEE COUNTY, and forcing a monopoly on patients, staff, etc…why don’t we let other entities come in and create competition in this Health Care fiasco ….

  13. This is definitely not well cared for my daughter and mom came in by ambulance..i tgey had to know her whole work history before signing her in what does her job have to do with hwr needing to be checked from a car accident..my daughter has …

  14. Psychiatrist sent my son home without ever speaking to him or his parents. Absolutely horrible experience. This facility should be ashamed of the way they treated my family today.

  15. This is the worst hospital I have ever visited in my entire life!!!! Rude nurses and doctors. They don’t care about the patient they just want to hurry and get you out the door! You would be better off going to Montgomey or Columbus!!!

  16. Just arrived and Labor and Delivery waiting room is disgusting! There are FINGER NAILS on the side tables, FOOD all over the floors and TRASH piled in the corner. I wish I could post pictures here! This is absolutely revolting!

  17. If I could zero stars I would. This emergency room is a freaking joke!!!! It’s called emergency for a reason….been here an hour and the emergency room is packed and no one is getting called to the rooms. Y’all want people’s money but yet you don’t want to help people out. Disgraceful

  18. Everyone was great except the short blonde haired old faced crow lady that interviewed me for the psych ward. She made jokes and took nothing seriously. She’s a trash can.

  19. My husband arrived with a temperature of 102, he has a medical condition, infectious cellulitis, he needs to be treated immediately, and they made him wait 3 hours lost, to tell him that he is not an emergency. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE,

  20. Never had urgency but tonight top the cake. Waited in the waiting room for 4 hours for them to come out and tell us it’s going to be an additional 5hr wait. Like are you serious. Poor individuals ears’ that was there waiting before me.

  21. If there was an option to give EAMC a “0” and still post my review….I WOULD!!! I would highly suggest to anyone who has never seen an example the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing to spend one day in the care of EAMC. …

  22. Worst hospital of all time (and I’ve been to quite a few ). Do NOT let your loved ones end up here. Transfer them to Montgomery as fast as you can. This place has almost killed myself and my Grandmother in the past!

  23. Absolutely the worst hospital ever. They don’t care to even try to find out what’s wrong with you. It’s sad that I have to drive hours away to a hospital who will take the necessary steps when it’s a hospital right here in town. It’s ridiculous. Why become nurses and doctors. We need people who care!

  24. Absolutely horrific. The ER Dr. Subjected patient, in for a psych evaluation/potential suicide watch, to a lecture on morality before discharging (5 pointless and stressful hours later). Was left in a tiny, dirty room with huge patches of paint missing and forced to wait hours after told help would not be received.

  25. Wait times in the ER are absurd regardless of the emergency. Spent over 5 hours waiting each time I’ve been there. Majority of the staff is unwelcoming and unfriendly. I will not be seeking any medical attention from this place again. Absolutely terrible all around.

  26. EAMC of Opelika AL over charges for EVERYTHING eventhough they don’t give any care WHATSOEVER! If you don’t have insurance FORGET IT! You’re get minimal to don’t give AF care and staffing. Even the administrative had Absolutely nothing to say when I asked if she would bring her Mother there. They almost killed my dad in 2016 too.

  27. I have a heart issue and they were suppose to notify UAB. Instead they gave out wrong information and gave me the wrong number to call. I went by the doctors office and the nice lady I was right to stop in since EAMC gave out wrong information. We need another hospital in this area.

  28. After 5 bypass surgery, Dr. Barry Crowe and all the CICU Professional Nurses, staff, housecleaning ect and 2nd floor recovery staff went beyond their duty to comfort and heal me. Thank you to all, too many to name

  29. It’s been a year since I had surgery here and somehow I’m still not in their system? Never got my results back either. If you need to contact them about ANYTHING you can forget it. Everytime I tried to call and make a payment on my bill …

  30. Seek treatment elsewhere if at all possible. This hospital has been killing love ones for years. If they do not know the answer they will not look any further. Your next step at east Alabama is death.

  31. I would give 0 stars if I could. They take forvever, yet all I hear is little giggles and voices in the hall. I wouldn’t recommend this hospital to anyone with a sense of urgency in rectifying their problem, because out here, the wait just to get back is a minimum of 3.5 hours. So annoying

  32. The room 8 in er was so load all they needed was a barbecue grill security was to busy playing on phone to notice 1st shift was going good 2 came in and the brakes hit pr was fine when you did hear from them. She has been here many times and always top notch but not to night . need floor manager.

  33. I would give zero stars if I could. Cold, uncaring staff. Disinterested, uncaring, do-the bare-minimum doctors. Nurses only marginally better. But they will bill you like you had first rate care! It’s obvious ALL they care about is the money. Do yourself and your family a favor and go to Columbus or Mongomery. Anywhere but here!

  34. terrible care. walked out with the same pain I came in with. now they wanna take money out of my check and cause me to lose everything. my job. my home. my vehicle. everything. taking food out of my kids mouth. what terrible care from a hospital

  35. We came into the ergame with my son who is 9months last.night having a temperature of 102.1, bloody stool and a possible hernia, all they DoD was check.his vitals and we waited 3 hours and still never went back to.get examined other people who came on after us went back before my son. I’m very disappointed in east Alabama

  36. HORRIBLE customer care! Seriously need to shut this place down & get a whole new staff. If you are in critical condition, go elsewhere!!!! Treatment is more like jail than health care.

  37. Applied for a total of 15 different entry-level minimally qualified positions, all rejected. That’s life however, these same positions are open every 7 days.This is what makes little logical since to me. This tells me that they’re hiring …

  38. I am currently sitting in the lobby waiting to be seen. I have here for 2 hours and I have severe chest pains, shortness of breath, and they won’t do anything. Furthermore, the nurse knew about a water spill on the floor and has yet to put …

  39. If I didnt have to give them a star i wouldn’t. They dont even desirve that. Terrible emergency room my wife and I both go their in great pain only to get turned away saying we dont know what’s wrong with you or how to treat you. Then charge you thousands of dollars to later on go on yiur credit. Go anywhere else but here.

  40. This is a terrible hospital, I thought I was going to die waiting for service, Smith’s station fire department took better care of me than the darn nurse’s and doctors at East Alabama medical center only time someone came in the room that I …

  41. Charging me a bill and I’ve never even been to their hospital. I live in another state. Refuse to fix the problem and are currently trying to have it on my credit. Can not get anywhere with the billing office in this place. My signature …

  42. This the worst hospital to go to. They have you waiting forever. I went at 10:30 am and walked out 4:30pm without being seen. Before I left I asked the receptionist how long before I was able to be seen. She replied ” it all depends on …

  43. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jason Tsai and he’s one of the best doctor’s at East Alabama Medical Center. Dr. Tsai has exceptional communication skills and keeps the patient and the family well informed of the patient care plan. He …

  44. Currently still waiting!! I have been here since 7:30 PM est It is now 2:40 AM! The ER is a joke! I see tons of people walking around but not alot of working going on! Doesn’t look like anybody is concerned about anyone but their own …

  45. I was very impressed with how the preoperational nursing staff made me and my mother feel comfortable before her left knee surgery yesterday. I was very pleased with her Doctor– Todd M. Sheils, M.D. for the professional way he informed …

  46. If I could rate one star I would. My mother fell on a knife and it entered her abdomen and we had been told to see Dr. Lazenby by home health after we were sent home told she was perfectly fine. We went there and he just looked at the wound …

  47. This place is filthy. Never thought I’d see a hospital that hasn’t been cleaned in months. Dust everywhere, filthy walls and furniture. There was a used gown on the bathroom floor, inside the patient room. Outdated and dirty.

  48. Unprofessional staff. Texting, gossiping, face booking, and make the patients wait longer to be seen. Need to focus on the job more, cause those facebook friends will not help pay your bills when the boss give you the ax. Overall good hospital. Real talk cuz.

  49. If I could give 0 I would. Last 3 times I came to EAMC I was ill treated because I had no insurance. I had lost my job but I did not deserve to be treated so bad. I even asked to speak with the house supervisor but they wouldn’t let me …

  50. Dr Crosby was my Physician in the ER. He is the most compassionate, and caring Dr I have met. It’s very hard to find a Physician like him. And I definitely trust what what he says. Need more Drs like him around.

  51. I have been a patient in this hospital at least twenty times (most were overnight for chemo for lupus), but some were extended stays (up to five days). On some occasions, I had very bad problems: Nurses telling me I didn’t need my …

  52. AWFUL PLACE. If you have an accident go to Montgomery because you may die at this place. MY daughter was hit by a car they kept her waiting for 3 hours in the reception and had nobody else waiting . She had a broken tibia and broken …

  53. Services have been satisfactory except the ER… Its not a Drs office but acts like one. People with common colds seen before cardiac patients… Main issue is with billing. No statement for months then a collection notice from Holloway …

  54. EAMC has done a tremendous job with its handling of the COVID vaccine process. While the State was unable to setup an effective hotline to schedule appointments, EAMC created its own scheduling portal to properly schedule vaccines. …

  55. If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is awful. I went for abdominal pain and chest pain and within 45 minutes in the ER I was sent home with some naseau medicine and a busted vein.

  56. On hold for 30 minutes trying to get a COVID test so I can go back to school and the receptionist answers “Hello?” and before I can take it off speaker she mutters something and hangs up. Absolute joke of a hospital.

  57. Equally disappointing performance my third time dealing with them as my first. Good to know they’re consistent I guess?? This time I called to see if there was any thing I could monitor at home for a severe allergic reaction or if this was …

  58. I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. The ER staff took me right in and began tests immediately. It wasn’t a heart attack. Thank God. The ER staff worked well together and with me. They took time to soothe my nerves and get …

  59. I would never want any of my family in this so called hospital. My brother got horrible care. All they wanted for him was to get him out before he die in their facility. The facility that he was transferred to for rehab could not believe …

  60. I was treated horribly in the ER. All they cared about was making sure their job was secure.I was shown no compassion. I did not see a Dr. They made poor judgement calls about me physically and mentally because they were too busy judging me and my situation Absolutely pitiful. DO NOT go to this ER.

  61. This hospital has gone down hill…the place wreaks of old urine…every restroom I used was nasty…the floors looked terrible. …

  62. We have been in the waiting room of the ER for 4 hours, my fiance possibly has a kidney infection, kidney stones, UTI or a mix of the three and so many have been pushed ahead of her that have been here in for much less time. She has been …

  63. Health Plus Fitness Center is being closed as of 1-31-2020. We members were blindsided by this closing. This facility has been making improvements like painting and updating furniture while posting signs that say “Pardon Our Progress”. …

  64. 7 hours in emergency room and the only thing that had been done was blood work,,hours sitting in my room suffering with extreme pain and sickness and no one even came in to ask me if I needed anything,,I could go on but really what’s the …

  65. My Mom while in for a stress test had a heart attack, she went straight into I.C.U. and went in to surgery for a triple bypass. The CVICU unit and the staff were awesome! I live in Florida and everytime I called no matter what time it was …

  66. I came in with chest pain . Any ER would immediately take you back and start exam . Even with a elevated blood pressure of 200/110 and heart rate up to 150 bpm i was told to sit in the lobby and wait . I left immediately and went to the …

  67. They can’t treat their patients and they won’t write you a referral. If you have heavy bleeding, it is ok, you can go home for now, come back later for a specialist and it will cure itself anyway. Good lord avoid this place if you can…

  68. Came in because I got hit by a semi truck and had to wait 2 hours to be seen. Was rudely told by a nurse that she doesn’t know how long the wait will be while I was crying. Once back there I asked at least 3 nurses if they can give me …

  69. I have been to this hospital three times in a year and the service is HORRIBLE!
    Chest pains and possible heart attack of a previous heart patient. Took 45 minutes to get vitals. Almost cut thumb off with a can, 2 hours to be seen. Was told …

  70. If you have a real emergency, do not consider this place first, normal waiting hour in average is 2.5 hours as the lady at front said. And after 3 hours, I have asked how long should we wait more, she said there are people over here waiting …

  71. Great experience with the staff and quality of care here. My first visit as a patient for an out patient procedure in the Endo unit. From the pre-call with Lisa, through the entire experience with Paige, Jeff, Deb, Lindsey, Pat, and, of …

  72. Slow as can be, DISGUSTING waiting room for the ER with food and empty cups on the floor. A handful of people in the waiting room and still been waiting for 3.5 hours. No organization, makes you go back and forth like 3-4 times to still …

  73. I have been here twice for serious emergencies. Always the longest wait and no respect from staff. The second and last time I went, I was given a blanket that looked like it had either blood, poop, or both all over it. They ran hundreds of …

  74. I have never been treated with such disrespect nor had the following Dr. Austin Reece in the ER act in such an unprofessional manner for the 3 complicated issues I was being seen for. Not only did this doctor scream at me with very …

  75. My son was taken here by ambulance after having a bad seizure. He was quickly seen, and everyone was very caring and helpful. Dr Senn was wonderful! I felt like he truly cared and wanted the best for my son. The only issue we had was …

  76. Had a kidney stone and had to go to the emergency room. That was a nightmare during the Covid19 pandemic. Once in a room the nurses and doctors were amazing and took such good care of me. If you can avoid the emergency room during this pandemic please do. They are overwhelmed with so many people.

  77. My son had a scheduled surgery here and it went amazing the pre and post surgery team was amazing. The anesthesiologist was amazing. Every person I came in contact with was friendly and my son smiled before and after his surgery. They did amazing.

  78. I want to thank the nurse’s who cared for my sister Lizzie Marshall. Not only are they very dedicated to their jobs, they were caring and very kind. I couldn’t be more thankful for their professional and spiritual attitudes and the loving …

  79. Visited the Emergency Room with severe upper back pain mainly on the left side that I thought was related to back surgery that I had in the past. I was quickly admitted and examined. The attending physician treated me for the pain, but …

  80. My sister in law had her baby at the hospital and she is a cash payer and the Dr. with the nurse came to her room and asked if she would like to have the baby circumcised and she asked them how much and the answer was $400.00 so she said …

  81. The worst hospital I’ve ever been to in my whole entire life and I’ve been to a hell of a lot of hospitals. They made me cry when all I wanted was help because I was sick. They didn’t give me the proper treatment or attention. Nurses had …

  82. Over the past year my family has had to either go to the ER or had test run multiple times. Every employee I’ve met is incredibly friendly, professional and answers all questions. They have gone out of their way to make things as comfortable and easy as possible. I’m not sure why all the bad reviews but I’ve had zero issues.

  83. I’m not reviewing the Hospital itself. This is about the COVID Vaccination sight that EAMC held at the old Tuesday Morning Store near the Auburn mall. THAT was the most efficient, well thought out/ practiced healthcare sight I have ever …

  84. Everyone treated me with respect and helped me feel more comfortable along the way for my procedure. Helped me with insurance concerns & appointments. All departments were very caring and communicated everything to myself and my husband on what was happening. Could not have asked for better!

  85. I recently underwent surgery at EAMC and I can’t give them enough praise. From pre-op till time of discharge, I was treated with nothing but kindness and concern for my well being. My personal OB/GYN did and outstanding job, as did everyone …

  86. If I could give this place zero stars I would. We have been waiting for almost 5 hrs, it was packed when we got here at 6pm (now 10:30pm) and people steadily coming in after us. Every single one has been called back except for a few people …

  87. TERRIBLE DO NOT GO HERE! I don’t even know how they remain open. I just moved to the area and it was my first time going here. I have an arachnoid cyst that causes me to have severe migraines. (light and sound sensitive) I came in at 9:30 …

  88. I would not recommend East Alabama Medical Center. My daughter was involved in a car accident when someone rear ended her at stop light and totaled her car. We went to the emergency room because her head, neck and knee were hurting and the …

  89. I recently submitted a negative review based on the actions of a charge nurse during a time that was extremely scary for me during my pregnancy. Since then, I have delivered my daughter and the service received from the time we were …

  90. This is by far the worst medical facility I’ve ever been to. Not only was the staff absolutely horrible to me, but I had to wait for over three hours and still didn’t see a doctor. I left after 3 hours because the pain I was experiencing …

  91. From the first step in the door to the wheelchair ride out, this was a great experience. The nurses and techs were all kind and respectful. Dr Jones did my surgery. He’s great but this is about the hospital lol. I was never hungry or …

  92. Great facility and staff. At first my wife and I had our guards of trust up because of our experiences of bad hospitals. I would recommend this facility to anyone who will be new parent this will be a great place. We went in scared and …

  93. East Alabama Hospital was well staffed, efficient and employs a model of proven track record modalities when engaging with patients and the public. My family was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, courtesy,and overwhelming …

  94. EAMC needs to triage ER patients rather than first come first seen, so it at least appears they have compassion for suffering and some common sense. My husband sat in the waiting room in EXCRUCIATING PAIN from kidney stones for FOUR hours …

  95. Awful! My son was left begging for help in the waiting room. Patients were asking if someone could help him. He is a 19 year old college student and has sickle cell disease. An animal should not be treated the way he was treated by this …

  96. Worse experience ever. I had a recent accident. After they took me to emergency, it took a long time for them to get a doctor. Nurse messed up my morphine dose. I was in worse pain. Then when my friends told her she realized she has messed …

  97. Omg! I cannot believe the transformation here! I arrived in ER at 1pm. The wait was long and there were several people there. I was given good attention and care as soon as I was in a room. Each care giver were extremely polite, attentive …

  98. This place doesn’t deserve a star. Husband had head/neck injury from mountain biking. Er doctor assesses him, discharges him WITHOUT a neck brace while xrays show he has a fractured neck. Husband is leaving and nurse comes out because she forgot to take the iv out of his arm. Yeah, stay away from this place.

  99. I have been treated at this hospital twice and both times were major deals. The staff and doctors are very attentive and make sure you understand what is wrong and what is going to happen next. They are kind and thoughtful most of the …

  100. I normally do not post reviews; however, EAMC has had this coming. After telling my wife she had stage IV pancreatic cancer in the ER and sending her home to “follow up with PCP” I lost all respect for any service they offer. How can you …

  101. Check-in staff and nurses asking the reason for my visit/getting vitals were extremely kind and understanding! Once I got placed in a room however, the psychologist was very detached, did not seem to care how I was feeling and never gave …

  102. If you need to go to the emergency room, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! The wait time here is UNACCEPTABLE!! We were in the waiting room with children with raging fevers, people hunched over in wheelchairs and a girl with a nasty, open wound split lip …

  103. My husband has been to the ER twice with stomach pain and feeling faint to the point that he’s about to lose consciousness. On the first occasion, he was there for five hours and they cut him loose after telling him his blood work was …

  104. This is the worst hospital I have ever been to. I injured my hip/pelvic area really bad. Whenever someone would ask me to rate the pain I would say 15, however once admitted the nurse who took care of me was very rude and dismissive. She …

  105. I just received again the best treatment from the Check in, the nurses and doctors in the ICU department. My very best friend was there. Dr. Nelson and nurse Ashley I believe were taking care of him. Hope I have their names correct. They …

  106. Being from out of state I was very worried about having to have my son seen but it was neccessary. Once arriving in the er we were greeted, checked in and the receptionist help us to find out if they accepted our insurance. The wait to be …

  107. Patients are using the emergency room as a doctor’s office. Therefore, emergencies are not seen for hours. I gave up today when I had sit for over a hour and then was told it would be a hour more to see the nurse. What happens after the …

  108. Sonya gets the only star here. My son was in for an ear infection back in Sept. 2020. Showed insurance info, filled out all the paperwork (they don’t see you otherwise), was treated. I received a past due notice for $452.10 in late Jan. …

  109. i find it hard to believe that anyone could have had a bad experience at this hospital. I have been a patient many times over the years and have had outstanding care from every employee with whom I came in contact. They always seemed to …

  110. I am at a loss to imagine how much more these wonderful caring professionals could have given to my wife and I. They were wonderful in each of 3 ER visits I have had and in my wife’s ER and 2 hospital stays. They have been truly great …

  111. It is amazing how bad this hospital is. On the few times when I had to go to an emergency room, EVERY TIME I went there was bad. It was so terrible that I actually spoke with the person in charge one time, but nothing has changed. Even …

  112. They do not see patients in a timely manner. If you have insurance they tried to keep you longer so they can bill your insurance company. My wife took my son up there and there was hardly anyone there and still had to sit in the waiting room for hours. I would not recommend using this hospital for anything

  113. This review is solely on the Emergency room department. The hospital itself is great EXCEPT the emergency room. 1st experience was some years ago, my daughter had a high fever and vomiting. They couldn’t get the fever down nor stop the …

  114. I don’t know what to say bad but my mom is in the hospital she says she press the button and it takes hours before someone comes to check on her she has Cov 19 they was trying to feed her soled food and she was spitting it up I told them to …

  115. Had to go to the ER on a weekend due to itchy skin and no other urgent care accepted my insurance (Medicaid). Checked into the ER and within minutes later they sent me back to see the nurse. The nurse checked me out very kindly and pretty …

  116. Visited EAMC today. As I was waiting for a loved one to have a outpatient procedure. I noticed how reckless the employees drove into the parking lot… speeding! Driving in between parked cars and going in the wrong direction… Are they …

  117. My husband had total hip replacement this week. The young lady in admittance, The pre-op staff, surgical waiting room person, 5th floor staff nurses and tech, were all excellent! We received excellent care and service in all areas. …

  118. The staff in the ICU were great except the hospital did not provide a reclining chair for me to stay over night with my father. They invite you to stay with your love one and then setup the environment to prevent families from staying …

  119. The most unprofessional and inhumane . Staff
    They don’t try to care at all. I wouldn’t send my dog to EAMc if he was on his last breathe.It is sad how sick people are treated .if you have loved ones …

  120. This “medical center” is extraordinarily unprofessional. No other word but “sketchy” can describe this facility and it’s staff. They provide subpar customer service, and care in all areas. The medical center itself is old and outdated. The …

  121. Depending on the type of insurance you have depends on the treatment you receive. My Mom does have a primary care provider but,, he wasn’t in the office today. My Mom was told to go to EAMC ER for possible pneumonia by the urgent care …

  122. If I could give negative stars I would. My boyfriend had a major surgery today and was supposed to be sent home with an anti nausea medication and norco. The prescription wasn’t in his folder. I called the hospital to ask and they said that …

  123. My experience at EAMC was great I had a full laparoscopic hysterectomy performed by Dr. Mitchell Alverson (a great ob/gyn) and my procedure went very well. When I checked in for my surgery I didn’t have a long wait time at all the ladies at …

  124. Absolutely ridiculous for a place that is supposed to be an ER, going on 3 hours waiting and the people that have walked in without an obvious emergency have been called back! My Husband is in Excruciating pain and can’t even control his …

  125. Communication across this hospital staff is abysmal. Very sick Patient (friend) was NPO (no oral food intake) for 3 days because the procedure he was scheduled for did not occur. To top it off was counseled for him being undernourished.

  126. Labor and delivery a decade ago was great, but what’s the deal with the ER? Going on 4 hour wait during my second visit today. They couldn’t find the source the first time. It seems as if no one cares? There are other people waiting with chest pains and broken bones for hours. I’m seriously concerned.

  127. I went to the surgery center today for a proceedure for kidney stones and bladder scope. I was a little nervous and the atmosphere of hospitals make me uncomfortable. However the people working there made me feel better about all of that. I …

  128. I’ve been waiting here for over an hour for simply a doctors note. It’s a little busy, but nothing too bad. I came in to be sure I don’t have COVID. They got me to testing room fast, but once I tested negative on everything they instantly …

  129. I had a family member in the mental health unit recently. The staff, counselors, nurse practitioner, and Dr. were amazing. My family member was well cared for, treated with dignity and respect, and all our of needs and concerns were …

  136. Have brought both parents to the emergency room over the years. Both had strokes. Treated several other minor patients before even getting either of my parents to a room.
