CT department didn't get my scans done. Had to go twice and failed to give me contrast until 15 minutes before CT, should have been 2 hours prior to CT. Next day they can't get an IV line other than in my thumb. I'm at a hospital with a radiology department that does pic lines but they were gone for the day? I was combative under anesthesia for endoscopic exam and colonoscopy, so they couldn't give me anything else for anesthesia becauseof poor IV access.

I'm too weak to do this again. Glad I wasn't in there from a car accident. I asked for something for pain, they said I'd have to go through the ER? I was already in there with that pitiful IV and they tell me to go to the ER!

As much as people like to b*ch about the place, just had excellent care for my wife in the ER for a kidney stone. Everyone was compassionate and caring. Thank you, Dr. Maur and crew! B

Had COVID 19 with pneumonia on Feb. 5 2022 and coded twice, had a stroke, the doctors, nurses and cnas we're the best anyone could ask for in the acu. They took the best care of me, spoke to my family everyday keeping them updated and calm. I couldn't have asked for a better place thank you all you became like a second family! You're all Angels! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them, they saved my life and gave me back to those I love.

My partner was in the heart tower for 2 days this week post heart cath & received the poorest nursing care I have ever seen! Excellent medical care from Dr. Fox however. Normally I strongly defend nurses & cnas due to being a retired nurse myself but this was just poor care given to him.

I have had two surgeries in the last year here. I had my son via c-section back in September and my gallbladder removed yesterday. The care I received was wonderful. The nurses and doctors here are very kind. They took excellent care of my son as well. Dr. Fultz delivered my son and Dr. Cox removed my gallbladder. They were always very concerned about my pain levels and made sure I was comfortable. Anytime I uttered the word pain they were there and ready to help ease any pain I was in. They brought blankets when I was cold. Absolutely wonderful staff.

I went last night for some severe pain and the staff was so nice! The time before was great too but the care I received this time was exceptional and I'm so thankful to the staff for being so kind and taking care of me. 10 stars if I could! Also the time before was crazy so I totally understand why it was the way it was. The staff there is great.
