  5. Visited the ER last week for a severe bout of Hyperthyroidism after a brief visit to my Primary Care Physician, at which time they urged me to go to the ER. Nurse Practitioner assigned to me was fantastic, but the Doctor only ever came in …

  6. I wasn’t too happy with that visit. The staff was very friendly! Had nothing to do with my not rating it a 5 star. I’m claustrophobic and I had to have a mri done. 3 minutes before we were done the mri machine got hot and wouldn’t work so …

  9. Outpatient registration staff made me feel like I was a burden. Body language and tone of voice when they told me “CT DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU COMING”. I was at Dr Buck’s office and witnessed a conversation when a call was made to …

  10. I went for my first mammogram. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. The nice lady that administered the mammogram made an uncomfortable situation bearable and even pleasant. I hardly had any wait time and the facility was very clean and well maintained.

  11. Had to stay overnight after surgery, the nurses and aides were the best I have ever had. If I needed anything they came very quickly. Only issue that I had was I was in recovery for hours until a room became available but that was only because the hospital was full.

  12. Mid-late 2019 I went to ER early morning because I had petechia all over among few other things… the er np I’m assuming .. just glanced at me… didn’t do blood labs or nothing. Wrote 2 scripts of antibiotics and said call dr in morning. I …

  16. Incompetence and lack of empathy here. I am just appalled at my mother’s stay here. I had to constantly seek people out rather than them coming to check in. One nurse contaminated the IV and luckily my brother was in the room to catch her. …

  25. Ashely made my mammogram visit stress free. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and kind. She put me at ease from the moment I walked in and made sure that all the images were correct before I walked out. I highly recommend RRMC for your women’s health concerns.

  31. I was there for a week. The care I received from the RN’s was mostly excellent. The male RN, Micky, is the best nurse I have ever had. He goes way beyond his duties to make sure you are okay. I can’t remember the others names, but they were …

  32. I was checked in through ER with complaints of irregular heartbeat, heaviness in my chest and shortness of breath. I was taken to a triage room immediately but waited several minutes before anyone came in to talk to me. I was then told …

  33. It was a f.in 5 day nightmare for me! Other than 1 nurse that went above and beyond after seeing what I went through before her arrival, nobody wanted to be there and obviously did as little as possible. A different RN on a different day told me he would rather be left in a ditch than brought to their er.

  34. Most unprofessional hospital I have ever been to. I’d give them zero star if I could. We have been here now for 6 hours. All test results have been in for over 3 and have yet to speak to anyone! Ok I get it if there are life threatening …

  35. I went into the Emergency Room 9/15/2021 at 10am I was seen by Dr.Vidrine. With all the things I heard on the news about them being overwhelmed with Covid patients I was afraid that I would be overlooked or treated unfairly but that was so …

  37. Wait time in the ER was short! Excellent! Then I saw the doctor and was told that my issue (neurological) wasn’t a real emergency and that she really didn’t want to take the time to order the tests that were needed. Yes, you read correctly. …

  38. I went because I had a very sick 1 year old granddaughter. Triage was fast an dr seemed helpful. I didn’t like that they sent the rx to a drugstore I usually don’t use. I told them the drugstore I wanted but somewhere there was a breakdown …

  44. With a member of the family on life suport we was aproched 3 times in under 15 min twice by a nurse and then by 2 very rude security guards telling us we couldnt be in the place we was originaly told to be. Very poor service . And extremly unprofessional. There was 0 compassion and we was very offended

  45. Fast courtesy service. Nurse Practitioner was very receptive to my injuries and got me right into a cat scan. Total time there around 2 hours which was pretty quick. Great service. I’ve been using Cabrini for so long but decided to go to Rapides. I think I’ll be using them from now on unless I’m lucky enough not to have to use anyone.

  46. Everyone was very nice and professional. I got fantastic care from all the staff. Everyone was very concerned for my health and safety. Shout out to Monica, Kerri, all the techs and Cath lab nurses.

  47. My husband was taken by helicopter to Rapides Regional from Polk. At Polk I was allowed to see and be in the room w my husband. He has a head injury and is unconscious. Once I got to Rapides, I waited for a hour. I watched the front desk do …

  48. Emergency and ICU were wonderful! After getting in a room things changed…
    I understand nurses are over whelmed at this time. His day nurse had 3 patents and was really short with him and myself. She was not organized and forgot things needing to be done. Everyone else was great.

  49. I was not listened to by ER nurse and doctors. ER was a mess – and their restrooms were even worse. I was placed on the COVID floor – did not have COVID but was told I did, however it seemed to magically resolve within LESS than 24 hours. …

  50. I like my Doctors there what ever I need they get it for me and if they don’t have it are can’t do what I need, they send me where ever I need to go to receive the care I need.

  51. Wife comes in at 0900 for a day surgery and 6 hours later we are still sitting in a room waiting. Also we have not been checked on since 10 when they started her iv. I had to go get updated information from desk nurse. If this place and its staff are one of the top 3 hospitals in LA, thats saying alot of the other 2 hospitals.

  52. Everyone was very nice and professional to me and to my family. All of my concerns were addressed and I could not ask for anything more. The hospital was very clean which is always a plus. …

  53. When you cant afford a Health Insurance, get sick is really scare. But I heard only good things about HPLong Clinic that when my knee pain was to much I decide to visit, I can not be more content for that decision. Everyone since you walked …

  54. I stayed in the hospital approximately six days my first three were not satisfactory. Didn’t give me prep for colonoscopy had to ask for bed change all this was on day shift. The nurse manager needs to get out the chair and feel the pulse of patients on their floor.👎🏾
    K Thomas …

  55. This is a short thank you to the staff in the ICU that let me spend more time with my mum than was allowed because I was leaving to go back to St. Louis. I had a very memorable moment with my mom that I’ll never forget because of this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  56. I was admitted from the ER to being an inpatient several days. The staff and doctors were great. However, the billing was horrible. I paid my deductibles and copays for ER and inpatient services as soon as I was billed. I received a …

  57. The clinic in Alexandria, off Hwy 28, in front of Walmart is amazing!! The front desk girl was so helpful and attentive. The nursing staff was understanding and very kind. The doctor was on top of all my medical needs… best clinic with the best employees ever!!!! 5 Star plus!!!

  58. Horrible ER staff. We have been here almost 3 days waiting to get an EEG done on my 6 month daughter. No nurse has came and checked on her or anything. We have asked to see her nurse 2 times throughout the day and he/she has yet to come by and check on her. I do not recommend this hospital to anyone.

  59. I posted a review about a nurse wearing a “fukitol” t-shirt in the ER Wednesday night and how un professional it was. My review seems to have ben deleted by Rapides, so just re reviewing that this place is the most un professional hospital. …

  62. The staff was very helpful in making sure I was comfortable. Dealing with a broken ankle is hard. They helped from taking my medical boot off, to putting it back on. Giving me a pain pill to ease my pain while in there care. Even the security guard assisted the nurse & my daughter to help me back into my car.

  63. Checking in was very efficient, I did have issues with attempting to check in online a few days before. The rad tech was very friendly and gentle. The experience was the best it could possibly be for a mammogram. Great job moving the …

  64. Ashley was the nurse assigned to my father who had surgery on 02/24/2022. Once he went to the 7th floor, Ashley ( do not know her last name) was very helpful and compassionate in dealing with caring for my father, James Sr. Ashley worked …

  68. I was seeing a heart doctor at this place name Pooley Sherliamurphy she is a great doctor but her staff lied on me. The MA lied and told the lady over the facility that I cursed her out and several nurses that said I cursed her. Which I did …

  69. This is the second time I have had a frustrating experience. Once again, I drove 50 miles to get there and had to argue and fight to get my ordered tests done. I pray I don’t have a to return.

  70. Alright. Back at it again. I’ll give two stars this time. If you have a urology problem do not go to this ER. They cannot help you. They will advise you to travel to “Shreveport”, check into the ER there and try to circumvent the system to …

  71. During my ER visits and my admits, the physicians, nurses, X-Ray techs, and staff are always so thorough and caring. My Cardiologist Dr Saleh and Dr Shivamurthy are awesome and I’m grateful for them.
    Thank you Rapides Regional Medical Center!

  72. I had a very pleasant experience during my mammogram appointment and bone density appointment on February 12. The person who performed the tests was very helpful and explained everything to me to ease any anxiety I may have and made me very comfortable.

  73. Ok. So the care was amazing!! Bit of a wait time in the ER but since I was coming in with a minor child and we had to have a double room to ourselves, it was appreciated. Now for the admin review. I know damn good and well the billing department can query the medicaid office to get the billing info. So get on your job billing.

  74. I went after 8:00 and was seen within an hour, the care was wonderful! From the person that checked me in, to the receptionist to get my information. The nurses were great and so was the nurse practitioner! I was well pleased with the attention I got and the care!

  76. I’m very pleased with the care I received from Rapides Regional Medical Center. The staff were quick to see me, and began treatment immediately to help me feel better. They listened, and treated me with much kindness. Thanks so much for helping me heal. I appreciate you all, and the attentiveness to my care.♥️

  77. The E.R was devastating. I sat 8 hours on a wheelchair. My doctor’s office sent me to the ER for ketoacidosis. The staff assumed I was just dehydrated. Moving on to the ICU. Tested awesome moved to,6th everyone was so special. …

  78. Jack in X-rays in the ER was excellent. Noah the nurse I had was a really good attentive nurse. Really appreciated all the good workers to help me comfortable during my time there.

  79. Drive to Houston don’t bring someone you care about here. They left him supposedly with covid 5 days didn’t change clothes or bathe him and wouldn’t let anyone in. Nursing staff are rude and neglectful.

  80. Very professional staff, excellent nurse care.
    Not all healthcare workers are the same because we as people have unknown issues in life to deal with. But the majority 99.9% have taken great interest and care …

  81. I went there for brain surgery. This is the BEST hospital ever. The doctor was great. The nurses are the best ever. They took excellent care of me. I’ve never been treated like that in any hospital. And surprisingly the food was good.

  82. Stayed at rapides 14 days. Never offered help with a bath and sheets changed only twice. Once i pulled sheets off so they had to change them. Have to say food was good especially breakfast. Nurse lied to me once saying she called dr. …

  83. I’d give one star but the fact they saved my father in laws life is the only reason they got an extra star. I was told to come here to have an infection drained and a CT scan to see how bad the infection was after rounds of antibiotics …

  84. All very good except for the Hospitalist Dr who prescribes a medicine that doesn’t exist, the pharmacy can’t fill and of course the Doctor will not answer the phone, return a call, or do anything to correct his problem. …

  85. The technician was great but I spent 20 minutes on the phone pre-registering for the visit and was told that I wouldn’t have to do any paperwork or anything due to pre-registration and that I could just go right through for my tests. Upon …

  86. This hospital did a surgery on my uncle and sent him to a different location. They only did part of the surgery and now they are refusing to finish what they started. I smell a lawsuit coming.

  87. Every experience I have had for myself, family, and friends has always been good. The most recent visit was no different. Everyone from staff at Dr. Hall’s office to pre-admission, making payments, pre-op, surgery, post-op, overnight stay …

  88. I had my mammogram at Rapides Women’s and Children’s facility in Dec 2021. From registration, to checking in and completing the exam, it went smoothly. Ms. Courtney, Ms. Peggy and Angel deserve a shout out. They are great at what they do! …

  93. It’s difficult to rate this because in general I think the 2 main hospitals here are basically morgues, especially if you are elderly. Also difficult to rate because I’ve no idea how short-staffed hospitals are since COVID. Considering the …

  94. My mother is currently a patient on the cancer floor of this hospital. I find their medical care to be subpar. Before this visit she was admitted and found out several days later this hospital doesn’t have a lung specialist. I am saddened …

  105. Very friendly staff, the doctors did their best to help my dad, free wifi, decent food, I mean, how much more can you expect from a hospital. They have a nice chapel, and two parking garages, plus a hotel next door and a church. they are an easy on and off of I49.

  119. Great experience across the board, however, the discharge nurse was very rude, she would have preferred to wheel me out in my gown then to give a little extra time to change into my clothes after surgery. She definitely needed to eat a snickers

  120. We updated Dr. Beard with all that had transpired since my last appointment four month prior. His input was crucial to me as we plan my treatment plan. He reassured me that if I need to receive more radiation treatment, he is able to do …

  121. It was disturbing that I went in for a colonoscopy and about three times i was asked if it was for an upper GI. Once a nurse came in and asked if I was….another person’s name. We all understand that everyone these days is short-handed, but this is scary. Thank goodness I could answer and had someone with me.

  122. Had a appointment on 8/29/22 @1:30 arrived at 1.10… asking personal information out loud.. told her sorry don’t give personal information out loud for everyone to hear. Then she hands me paperwork to fill out rudely.. fine then another …

  129. Absolutely the best place for my husband to be. The quality and professionalism of care was of the highest standard. The compassion of the staff whom we encountered was “soothing to the soul”. I cannot express my gratitude enough our appreciation to RRMC for being there for us during an extremely difficult time. Thank you!

  130. Not sure where to start!! Do not bring yourself to this ER, the hospital is so understaffed the ER is being used as a holding facility for patients waiting for beds on the wards. People are in the hall or should I say “On the Wall” as it’s …

  133. The staff on floor 4 was exceptional from the housekeepers to the nurses. I was most moved by the tender loving care the tech, Ms. Aaron gave my mother. The staff treated my mother as they would have their own. It was clean and the doctors and nurses were very attentive . I was so thankful for the care they gave in her final days.

  134. I have been coming to Rapides Hospital for years now and I had to come today. They’re are always professional, patient and kind caring staff. I came across an RN named Stacy Smith she is phenomenal!!! This was my first experience getting an …

  136. Very disappointed. Did not feel as if miss Debbie the np I saw this morning had care or concerns for me or what was the cause of what was going on. I do believe it could’ve been better.

  137. The receptionist was really really nice and helpful..
    Also the lady that did the lab work on my husband was outstanding..So friendly and just the best

And her needle sticks were not even felt!!

  139. I was sent to the ER from a Dr.s office in a hypertensive crisis. BP 200 over 100 range. While I was taken back immediately it quickly became apparent that the ER staff were overwhelmed and not trained properly. The nurse wheeling me to …

  140. Dr Naseem A Jaffrani MD is the best Dr I have ever seen. He is the most caring Dr with True Compassion for his Patients. I have no problem waiting on Him because he is the best.

  141. I am giving this hospital 1 star based solely off of housekeeping. The manager seems to have a strong dislike for making darker skin patients comfortable. Which makes absolutely no sense bc I thought the manager was a minority however, …

  142. Phenomenal service!!!! I brought my wife in who was not breathing due to anaphylactic shock. With in minutes they had her breathing and talking again. Thank you for your great staff!

  143. Very professional and caring nurses, Dr. Noel, OR staff, anesthesiologist, and everyone else.
    I was very well cared for. Should I require surgery in the future I will use …

  144. My visit went well except for one LPN, Laura, on the sixth floor, which made my stay horrible. I’m currently having nightmares about how I was treated under her care. I’ve never been in a situation so dire. My son was scared to leave me …

  145. Overall I had a good experience. The medical staff in the ER and on the third floor of South Tower were great. The one complaint that comes to mind is having to repeat the exact same medical information to EVERY healthcare worker who walks in the room.

  146. I would like to greatly extend my gratitude, towards the entire staff on the 6th floor. My wife was there 4 days with a kidney stone that was too big to pass, trying to get rid of some infection. She was aggravated from the pain but, the …

  147. Absolutely horrible. I’ve been going to Rapides since I was born in 1983. I’ve had all my children at Rapides as well. I’ve never had a problem until I had my last baby on September 30, 2022. My sister works in the NICU and my son was …

  149. Everyone was so nice. Great experience. They went above and beyond checking to ensure I was doing okay while I was waiting on results from X-rays and ultrasound. My experience was 5 stairs.

  150. Last month I was in an accident on my way to New Orleans from Texas. The airbags deployed and destroyed my arm from elbow to wrist. I was taken to Rapides Regional by ambulance and had exceptional care from their staff from the moment I …

  151. I had surgery with Dr Hall and Dr Norem, the anesthesia team was wonderful. Both Doctors were wonderful. Staying in Rapides Women’s and Children was nice. My first experience with RRMC as the patient. I had some nice nurses, don’t remember their names and didn’t think to take them down. Highly recommend Dr Hall and Dr Norem!

  152. Great care from a wonderful staff in the ER Department.
    Also to the PICU floor nurses and Doctors…Y’all are fantastic!!
    I have always gotten the best care here and so has my son. And will continue to keep getting my families health care needs here!

  153. I’m still in this hospital, it was 5 stars until this morning. For the most part I’ve enjoyed this almost 1 week. Last night and this morning things are going downhill fast. Rude nurse who will not talk to me and made me wait 3 hours for meds. Will continue to update.

  154. I was admitted into the hospital was on the 3rd floor south for heart cath and preparation for aCABG. The staff took good care of me. I then went to surgery suite. The staff began prepping me for surgery. The staff was very courteous and …

  155. They never have a room available. I’m there with chest pains. Uncomfortable. Someone said it would take 3 hours to get into a room upstairs. They don’t have enough staff in the ER to help people. I left. I already have bad anxiety and to get the courage to go to the ER and then nothing. Go to Cabrini at least they seem to care.

  156. From the labor room, to postpartum unit and nursery, everyone was great. We were treated with kindness and compassion. The nurses answered all of my concerns and Dr. Manuel and Dr.Danivas both ensured that me and my newborn were taken care …

  157. Can definitely tell which nurses are there to help and which ones are there for a pay check. Trauma unit was professional and fun to be around. Once in a room, nobody was in a hurry to do anything or communicate with their coworkers. Only …

  158. So I am not giving 5 stars due to ONE nurse. My father was in trauma unit 5 A and his nurses were amazing all around. It was however a nurse there and I never caught her name. This lady had to be Tone deaf or either loved the sound of her …

  159. Great staff. I felt safe and at ease going into a major surgery . Staff from admissions to surgery prep to anesthesia to floor nursing after the procedure were all professional. The nurses and doctors who cared for me were angels. Thanks

  160. Rapides staff is the greatest!
    Every move is thoughtful and the kindness is genuine.
    Dr. Norem is the absolute best surgeon. Overall great experience for the first major surgery I’ve experienced.
    Pastor Smith

  161. Everyone is so kind and considerate. It was fast also. Plus I love the fact they did my mammogram and was told if there was cancer or not. They been watching a spot and have been so kind to me. Thank you

  162. 98% of my symptoms pointed to COVID, which I’ve already had the pleasure of having in August of 2021. The nurse or aide never even touched either swab inside my nostril, only around the outside of each. Sure I had it but thank My God …

  163. After I arrived at Rapides Emergency room they were quick to bring me back for an x-ray of my arm, but afterwards sent out to sit in the regular waiting room and after about 20 minutes there I was given a seat in the hallway of the ER …

  164. Excellent care! Presley was the BEST labor and delivery nurse I’ve had delivering any of my four kids! Dr. Hall is also amazing! Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

  166. I love Dr. Hall and Gayla, they always make me feel welcomed and well taken care of. Also with my mammogram, at my age there is no more shame, we just get it done and I love those women a well. It’s always clean all over and I always feel safe!!

  167. Dr. Horton, the attending ER physician, the nurses, techs, Ms. Prestridge, the admitting clerk and all other staff members were awesome. Once we
    presented to the ER, we spent the whole night in there. One staff member asked …

  168. I worked there, Thankfully after Katrina hit my hometown. A lot of the people were great. It isn’t how it started out though. I lost my job for caring. It is one of the better hospitals, however, the B/S bureaucratic things that Everyone, …

  169. The professional medical care was based on the person that day. Thirty percent of the staff was always caring, respectful and professional. Seventy percent of the staff were aloof and had to be asked for simple items repeatedly over 30 to …

  170. I have had to be at this location for 13 days with pneumonia. The experience has been amazing. The staff has been incredible. They have gone above and beyond to make me comfortable to do everything possible to make me better. I don’t know …

  171. I have never had such caring and compassionate hospital workers ever at this hospital. The time wasn’t bad I was there for about 6 hours but they were working and running test the whole time. The NP was very caring and concerned. The …
