As always, fast, expert and compassionate care. From front desk check in , the nurse and the doctor, everyone 100% professional. Thank you! And please don’t believe all the negative reviews from a bunch of people who have never been here . They ought to be removed, just trolls trolling.
Great
Disgusting.
medically negligent
If you need health services this is the best place to go!
Neglectful staff.
Medical negligence.
Elevator door closes too fast. It hit me twice already
negligent
So much nicer than the big “corporate” hospitals in the area.
The surgical staff was amazing from the nurses to the front desk. Had surgery and everyone was very helpful.
Clean, quick, efficient, easy to get in and out. Great docs, can get in and out of diagnostic imaging without any wait.
I went in here with severe intestinal pain and they had to poke me like 6 times. Worst experience I’ve ever had here, and still left in excruciating pain. Never will I set foot at this medical campus again
Beautiful comfortable facility with friendly happy staff and doctors. I have been through more surgeries and emergencies here than I would care to admit and can’t imaging ever going elsewhere.
Great staff during my visit
Medically negligent! Don’t go to this hospital.
Worst ER care I’ve ever received. Had to visit the ER and was told by the ER doctor they couldn’t treat me. I wasn’t there for more than 10 minutes and have been charged an outrageous bill. I spent more time talking to the front desk than the doctor himself.
HORRIBLY untrained staff. Mind-blowing bad experience.
We came here after going to the big hospital which had a extremely long wait list.
We were immediately seen and saw a doctor within 15 minutes of being admitted.
Everyone is nice and very accommodating.
I have had numerous surgical procedures performed at this hospital and all of my MRI’s etc. They are the BEST in Durango. Animas Spine and Animas Orthopedics have the best doctors hands down. Fast and caring ER. Great Independent Pharmacy included. Don’t miss out on the best care in Duango.
Negligent staff. Do your health a favor and go elsewhere.
How do you go to the emergency room in the middle of the night, wait for an hour for them to tell you what you already know. Yes you have an ear infection, but sir we do not have any medicine at the moment so we will just write a …
Just watched malpractice happen, ignored a woman seizing.
Caught them trying to take 2 mri’s when only 1 was needed. They thought they could over bill the insurance company. When they were told money was an issue cause I was paying out of pocket, they changed it to 1 mri as originally planned. …
I was very pleased with all of the doctors, nurses and everyone else who works at Animas. Although was extremely disappointed in the WiFi. There was none to speak of. I get more WiFi or data outside. This really needs to be fixed for your “guests “
Extremely rude front desk help, nursing staff, and supervisor/office manager. The doctor was very nice, respectful, and clearly knowledgeable. I would avoid this place at all costs because one nice doctor can’t compensate for a rude office staff that lacks people skills.
refused to give seizure patient their medication..
I had great experience. Dr. Schaeffer is an outstanding surgeon. A special thanks to Dr Barker. Thank you Larissa for the helping me stay calm, you were great. To the rest of the staff and surgical team thank you for kindness and consideration.
Excellent ER. Staff at all levels was caring & skilled.
I have been a patient of Dr. Hammond’s with Anima Orthopedics for several years. He did the revision of my first hip replacement. He’s replaced both knees, minor hand surgery, various injections, and now I am preparing for him to replace my …
Deserves a fat lawsuit. Negligent and arrogant nurses and doctors
All other comments speak for themselves yall should be ashamed to call yourselves doctors and nurses
We had an ill family member. The wait at Mercy ER was 2 hrs, so we went to Animas Surgical hospital and were seen in minutes. Everyone from the front desk, nurse and physician on duty were top notch, friendly, competent professionals. …
Our kiddo broke his arm scootering at the skate park. One of the skaters (an older guy named Jeff) said to come to this location. …
Don’t go here unless you want to be neglected and talked down to by hospital staff. This is the most unprofessional hospital.
Medical negligence at its best. Disgusting how they treat patients.
The “doctors and nurses with 20 years experience” will watch you seize on the table and then tell you you’re faking.
This treatment of patients need to stop, do better as a hospital and hold yourself accountable
We met the most compassionate and caring and understanding nurses in my entire life here. During one of the scariest times of our life. I can’t express how much that means to me and my family. Thank you!
absolutely disgusting staff! i really hope this place goes out of business, DO NOT GO HERE!!
I can only hope that the video is used in the malpractice suit that drowns you and strips all licensure from your staff
Terrible terrible service. Don’t go here unless you want the staff to gaslight you while your actively having seizures
Thank you for your care! I was very nerves being in a new care facility; I want go into details, staff were very caring of my comfort and safety! I was giving the best care possible! Thank you for restoring my faith on a health care facility! May GOD bless that union!
Absolutely DISGUSTING. Treat you like trash and advise mental health when seizing. You should be ashamed.
I’d strongly advise you find another ED if it’s something urgent. Front desk staff were far more concerned with office gossip than keeping spouses in the loop with what was happening in the exam rooms. still aren’t allowing S/O’s into the …
Very unfortunate experience here, was sent home without any referral or diagnosis- even when presenting acute symptoms in their ER.
If I could leave no stars or negative stars I would. My daughter was in excruciating abdominal pain and was referred there by the urgent care. My daughter attended the college, so I had to drive three hours to meet her there. They sent my …
Shame on everyone in that room not helping that woman having a seizure! I’d give a ZERO STAR REVIEW if I COULD!
My wife had a procedure recently which required surgery and an overnight stay. The staff and facilities were top notch. Staff was extremely supportive, friendly and went to great length explaining the operation process, recovery process, …
This place needs to be shut down! They insult people having seizures and tell them their illnesses aren’t real simply because they aren’t “by the book”. Ridiculous!!
While on vacation from out of state, I suffered a closed trimalleolar fracture. From entering the ER to having surgery, everything was top notch. I am so grateful for the care I received and the surgeon on call. Having a pharmacy onsite too was a next level service I was grateful for. Thank you to everyone who helped take care of me!!
This hospital cared for my needs so well. I’ve been in and out of 5 different hospitals over the past few years, and I have to say this one takes the cake.
The care I received was exceptional, the nurses gently encouraged me to get up …
DENIED seizure medication to a patient ACTIVELY seizing. There is video of this on TT. PLZ DO NOT GO HERE
The video of your workers telling that poor girl she’s lying as she suffered through one seizure after another is chilling. You need to take action
Beware getting Healthcare here! They talk down to patients who know their own health history and ignore medically emergencies. State medical board should probably shut this place down asap
I want to thank all the nurses and staff at the Animal Surgical Hospital for the caring and professional demeanor that they have. My 3 year old daughter had an eye surgery and was cared for so well. They definitely went above and beyond my …
Disgusting, left patient without critical care due to closed minded practices over seizure presentation. If you want human compassion don’t go here
claims to know a patient is faking their illness/symptoms without being willing to run a test to prove it. irresponsible, negligent, and cruel.
Went in to ask for a strep test because a friend that I was with tested positive for strep. They tested me for Covid without asking me and I received a bill that was 361.00 for both tests months later(did not accept my insurance). It was in …
Even if this was the last hospital on the planet I’d rather die. You treat patients with such disrespect and don’t listen to them when they tell you something. You are just a bunch of bullies who don’t care about the well being of your patients. 100/10 do not recommend this hospital.
You guys refuse to treat seizing patients huh? Good luck fixing this PR nightmare. Every medical professional in that video DESERVES to lose their LICENSE INDEFINITELY.
They tell you you’re faking it if you have diagnosed epilepsy and are in full on tonic clonic seizures. They just stick u in a wheelchair and kick you out.
refused to help someone who was seizing for almost 30 minutes, saying they were “faking it” and refused to let them speak to a patient advocate! absolutely horrendous and cruel!
My wife has epileptic seizures, and I just saw how you treated that woman having the exact same type of seizures as her. You deserve to be sued into the ground.
Do not go here if you experience seizures or anything slightly different than the medical norm. The staff will medically misdiagnose you, they will refuse you treatment or testing, and they will talk to you in an unprofessional manner.
Do you know the damage you’ve done in patient/healthcare relations?! As an RN, the video absolutely disgusts me and I cannot believe these people haven’t been let go!
You all should have your medical licenses removed. The way you didn’t help that poor girl with her seizure is pure disgusting. You guys are playing “God” and you all should apologize to that girl and any other patients, and God knows how many other patints you turned away and potentially killed from lack of care.
As a healthcare worker, I am utterly DISGUSTED by the poor care the staff members provide for patients. DO NOT TAKE YOUR FAMILY HERE. They neglect, dismiss and abuse their patients and this is NOT OKAY. This hospital is a shame and so are the people working in it.
Refusing to give seizure patient pain meds. You all deserve to be out of a job. Shame on you. Malpractice and negligence. I hope no one ever treats your family members in the way you treated that poor girl.
Absolutely terrible. They have no bedside manner, and don’t care about the well-being of their patients. They’ve hired doctors, nurses, and other medical care “professionals” who do NOT belong in any kind of care setting of any sort. If …
I went into ER with what I thought may have been appendicitis. The nurse and tech were both nice and efficient hence the 2 stars and not one. Dr. Mathers opened the door and said he was waiting on labs and said he would get back when they …
Good billing dept, takes lots of insurance types with no issues and will take your PPO. Will send your tests to places that cover them. Choice for hospital care in Durango.
Do not go here if you have anything other than the most basic cold. The doctors and nurses are cruel and uncaring. They will dismiss you instead of empathizing – especially if it’s anything slightly complicated. Run to a better, kinder, patient-forward healthcare center. This is not it.
You should close your doors permanently. Pure negligence for not helping someone who is seizing. Saying she’s faking it?!? I hope she sues and WINS and I hope the drs and nurses involved get stripped of their licenses. Absolutely disgusting.
Denying medical care to a diagnosed epileptic. Accusing the patient of lying. Denying access to a patient advocate. Then insulting the patient by referring to mental health services while they are actively Having a seizure. For doctors who …
If you are epileptic, stay away from this hospital. Staff does not know what epilepsy or seizures are. Every medical profession involved in that young women’s “care” should be fired and lose their license. Absolutely disgusting.
If I could give lower than 1 star I would. The disgusting way nurses and doctors treat people at this “hospital” is appalling. The fact that “trained professionals” watched a young lady have seizure after seizure and still had the audacity …
Seeing how this hospital is nothing but malpractice and know it all’s, you all deserve negative stars but sadly we can’t do so. To tell someone that they don’t have something they’ve been diagnosed with for YEARS and tell them they’re …
I don’t think it’s fair that people who have never visited this hospital are allowed to make reviews. The doctors, nurses, techs and aids I have met are always going above and beyond in my personal opinion. From screening to discharge they do their job well!
I went in not know I was having an anxiety attack with depression. They could at least gotten my blood work so I would be less worried. All the Dr. said was, “well you have me stumped” that everything was fine & sent me on my way home. I went elsewhere to seek for professional help.
I don’t usually do this, but Serenity Menee needs justice. My cousin went through this too so this hits home. How dare that nurse and doctor treat a patient like that. HOW DARE YOU. A statement should of already been released. Scary times …
I am very sick and I’m sure it’s bronchitis. Dr said it was a cold and refused to prescribe antibiotics. This was yesterday on Thanksgiving. I woke up feeling worse today so I will be going to urgent care on main to get another look. They …
After two recent eye surgeries I can report this was the finest care I have ever received in a hospital. The staff were kind, considerate and most importantly excellent in their knowledge and care. I would recommend Animas Hospital to anyone.
Absolutely disgusting negligence from the staff regarding a patient with seizures claiming she was “faking it.” If you have any regard for your own health and care DO NOT come here as I’m sure this isn’t a one off incident. Especially if you have life threatening conditions please go somewhere else.
If you’re looking for awful care from “medical professionals” who choose their own ego over HELPING PEOPLE then this is the place for you. I would ESPECIALLY recommend Dr.Stradling and Nurse Lisa/Elizabeth (if that’s even her name) who …
As someone who has been trained in seizure education to work as a paraprofessional on a school bus, and someone who has a handful of friends with epilepsy im disgusted by this hospital. In the video you can clearly see this girl distraught, …
It is absolutely terrifying that doctors and nurses with actual degrees can’t spot a seizure. It’s terrifying. IT IS TERRIFYING. You’re going to get sued. She went viral and it’s just a matter of time. So post a statement or delete reviews, …
if i could give this place zero stars i would. neglected patient with epilepsy (who’s had it for 6+ years) telling her she’s lying and not seizing. absolutely horrifying and disgusting. the video shows it all and we heard everything by …
Ignoring seizures is malpractice, procedure is to deal with the seizure with seizure medicine and then move on to the cause, never just letting someone seize, mocking them, and telling them they are lying just because you have very …
disgusting medical services!! they refused someone medical treatment for their seizures and continued to say they were faking (even though they were diagnosed with seizures previous to visit and having pretty extreme seizures while there) …
It is absolutely disgusting that the nurse and DOCTOR refused to help someones who was actively seizing. She had a history of epilepsy but just because her seizure isn’t big enough you think she’s faking! Even though you may not known her …
The way you treat your patients is disgusting. The video of your staff ignoring that young person having a seizure is completely unacceptable and I hope those involved lose their ability to practice medicine. You all should be ashamed of yourselves and I hope a lengthy and expensive civil case is in your near future.
My name is Serenity. On September 01, 2022, I went to Animas Surgical Hospital’s ER and was only exposed to medical malpractice and negligence. I had gone because I had fallen 2 days prior and smashed my head on the corner of a stair …
Hopefully you will sit down and re-evaluate how your staff treat patients. The individuals in this video should have disciplinary actions taken against them. This is truly one of the ugliest interactions I’ve ever seen. These staff members …
ASH gave the best hospital care I’ve ever experienced from pre-op through post-op. The nurses in both the ER and OR were extremely caring and the anesthesiologist was very receptive to my requests. Hospitals typically give me anxiety, but the staff at ASH made me feel truly calm and relaxed, and made for a great overall experience.
I was fortunate to receive excellent care at Animas Surgical Hospital. I arrived at the Emergency Department with abdominal pain and was seen in less than five-minutes. Both the nurse and Dr. Rudolf were exceptional and took their time in …
The moment I walked into ASH last week with an undiagnosed stomach issue I was treated like royalty. …
Most EXCELLENT staff, surgeon, “Phipps for Hips!”
Had total hip replacement and 5 star ratings all round. …
