I originally had a really bad experience at this hospital a year ago, it was the night staff and they blew me off saying I just had gastritis and a few gallstones and I'd be fine. I was indeed not fine, I struggled for a year with stomach pains trying to figure out what was wrong until one day the pain got so intense I had to return to dmh. They redeemed themselves in my eyes ten fold. This was all thanks to the wonderful nursing staff, from the lady's who did the car scans, to the amazing ultrasound technician I was already very pleased.
Not only did they help, they believe me when I said I was in horrible pain, and were sympathetic and caring. I gotta give the biggest shout-out to the best ER Dr I've ever come across, Dr. Pita! He is kind, caring, and efficient at his job. He's the guy you wanna see. Just one week after seeing them and I'm scheduled for surgery to get my gallbladder removed. All around good experience with this hospital, Dr. Pita, and the staff.

I was born here I am currently 18. My parents recently informed me that the doctor dropped me when I was born. And because of that drop my life was changed and I don't want to get in specific details.

I took my 87 yr old mom in to this hospital. My mother can not walk- she was laying in the hospital bed and stated to both nurses that, she had to go pee-pee. They both acknowledged and did nothing, within 10 minutes my mother wet the bed -they then brought in a toilet bucket seat which was obviously too late -they both looked at each other and left the room leaving my mother laying in urine, After 30 minutes I took care of my mom.
I washed her -cleaned her and put on clean clothes. I mentioned this to one of the nurses that came back in there and her response was. We'll! we would of help you if we had known. ( Uncaring and liars) human beings have no place to be in this profession. She acted as if it was beneath her. My mother needed help -With the role of there eyes looking at each other And left the room- I was completely disgusted.
