Everything went smoothly. I was taken on time. Nurses were outstanding and friendly. Anesthesiologist explained things in detail. Dr Rowberry was very patient and took time to answer all my questions. In summary, I received excellent care and would highly recommend this practice to others

I have had two EMR that I had to go here and the ER Dr Dozier was great. I felt taken care of and his bed side manner made my stay in er good. The nurses that were on staff also took good care of me. I am truly grateful to have a great hospital minutes away. Thank you

Report
I don't know any young women who have had a good experience at this emergency room. I have never been taken seriously, and on one occasion sent home while having seizures because they "aren't a big deal" (direct quote from the doctor). My sister recently went in for a severe allergic reaction to shellfish and the same doctor refused to give her an epipen. Most recently, a pregnant friend saw the SAME doctor for severe pain and premature contractions, and was told that "pregnancy is painful" and sent home with no help after informing him that she does not plan to deliver at this hospital.
He replied by asking her why she came to this hospital, knowing that she was transported there by ambulance. Dr. Hielpern needs to face consequences for his actions before someone dies due to his negligence.

Good experience. staff are mostly local, positive, and helpful. Dr Hammond in ER did a great job of taking time for full workup and going out of his way to communicate with me to help coordinate the care of a patient. You will never find everything and every test or service in a small or medium sized hospital, but there are some very talented people here and overall good attitudes in my experience.
