I travel for work so I'm constantly in other areas. I went to this hospital and the MD I had (Patricia Harrison) was kind, understanding, and honest with me. Instead of just walking in and asking what was wrong or telling me tough luck and walking away we had a conversation about the issue and unrelated topics. The RN and CNA had me smiling from poking at each other from the start.
For the negative reviews on this hospital about a wait time. It's a hospital not urgent care or a larger hospital with a triage department. They're setup for a population around 10,000 people. I'm a non resident to the area and feel I was treated as a local. Even with someone coming in by ambulance I spent about 3hrs in total there which was good even with a higher priority patient showing up.

Third time we have been in the emergency room and again we are going on two hrs and still sitting in the room and no one has been in to keep us up to date or let us know what is going on. Very sad. Now to add to this we have Now been here three hrs and have been out to The desk twice and have been told they will be right in and we still have not seen anyone, just even to give us a update. This is so ridiculous will try lemars or SC next time.

Went there in July had something stuck in my throat. I could swallow a tiny bit, but it took work. Was a Julie Mogenson on call. All she did was make me swallow lidacaine and called it good. It took about three minutes to get that thick syrup down my throat and it was a tiny amount. Probably 2 teaspoons. No X-rays. They sent me home and said as long as I could get a tiny amount of fluid to go down I'd be okay.
I had this piece in my throat all day. She told me X-rays wouldn't show a foreign object in my esophagus. Now I aint no doctor but pretty sure she shouldn't be one! Because YES an X-ray would have shown the foreign object! Did she get her degree out of a cracker jack box? Anyways around 11 o'clock that night, I started coughing. I am assuming from that piece being there all day anf half the night, and it irritating my throat sent me into a coughing spasm.
The piece popped out with such force that it flew across the deck and past the steps. We're talking at least 12 feet! It was a piece of potatoe, from potatoe salad I had eaten earlier that day, and I had chocked on it. Moral of the story? If you see her walk into the room RUN! I COULD HAVE DIED! Then they wanted to charge me $194.00 for nearly killing me! Terrible. Treated me like I didn't know what I was feeeling in my throat.
Just because you have a degree, does not mean you know everything and won't screw up. But to have a degree and be that ignorant is an insult to the patient, and the hospital who hired you! Most of the doctors there diagnose but sit ya on the back burner, leaving you to rot. 5 years been trying to get help for my reynauds phenomenon, and possibility of M.S, to no avail. Sure go to this hospital and clinics if you don't want genuine care! If I could give ZERO stars I would.!

The doctors hear are extremely lazy I have a pretty nasty infection in my finger and I went to the doctors yesterday and and I was told that it needs more than antibiotic attention but yet he just adds through more days on to my ongoing antibiotics and gives me some triple antibiotic ointment cream and then walks out the door. They say that they're carrying hospital will then why won't they help me with my finger how come they're not doing anything when they know for fact and even said their cells it needs to be drained all this hospital is is retarded bandied station nothing more nothing less.
