I was in and out of Renown at Mill for weeks. First a heart attack, then a bleeding ulcer! Prior to these I had anemia. Hernia issues etc. I was in and out for several months! Now, in recovery, I can say the nurses and cardio's etc were all the best! I received excellent care and would never go back anywhere else. They are remodeling and if you can put up with the noise from that.you will be okay. They will move you to a different room. The nurses were super. Thank you all so much. Sally Shaw

Renown Regional has everything from its own public pharmacy to a Starbucks for visitors & staff. I've heard there is also an on-site hotel for those visiting patients & wishing to stay close by. As far a medical Renown has from surgery wing to a Cancer center. Maternity is a big deal at Renown as I've seen on its TV ads & a young gal who assured me, "They very good at delivering babies!" OK, I believe her. ER services are available through its own Mill Street access. Both a children's ER & regular are open to the public.

I recently took my wife to the emergency room for chest pain. When checking in at the emergency room, the receptionist at the front desk was unbelievably, ridiculously rude to my wife who was clearly in distress and suffering. There's also another guy named Bill who pointed fingers and tried to get rises out of patients in the waiting room so he could aggress them. When my wife expressed to the receptionist that the receptionist was being rude and that she is in pain the security guard immediately came up behind her and commanded, "Don't talk to her like that!" This is absolutely absurd.
I've never seen, witnessed or heard of any such Behavior towards patients in any medical setting let alone in the emergency room setting. I was supporting my wife and I was afraid to make eye contact with anyone for fear that they would treat her in a manner which had nothing to do with taking care of her but rather penalizing and punishing her. The emergency room staff, nurses and Physicians were actually very good. Something needs to be done about the people that intake patients. I am a physician and have been practicing medicine for 25 years now. My wife is a retired physician.

Renown sent me to collections without any notice despite the fact that I was paying every month. Last payment I paid $1000. Which was nearly half of what I had left on my account. Called their billing department only to be put on hold for 20 minutes before I could talk to anyone. I transferred all my records to a smaller Doctors office. This is what happens when your medical services become corporate. No patient care whatsoever!

I needed to schedule with my doctor and I have such difficulties trying to schedule online so I decided to call in to get scheduled. I had the pleasure of speaking with a sweet young lady by the name of Summer. Summer was very sweet, understanding, and very professional. Her southern accent and charm was so fun and happy. She was a breath of fresh air and a rare gem. Thank you Summer! I hope I get the pleasure of speaking with you again the next time I need to schedule.
