I am so sorry I brought my mother to this hospital. She did not receive timely pain management, waiting in the ER 24 hours because there was not a room available, did not receive food nor drink and did not receive other needed meds. Her treatment has bordered on malpractice

If I could give zero stars to this hospital I would. I hope they close down. My husband was a patient here and they didn't even try to get a bed for him anywhere else due to this condition. They wouldn't even try. Also, they lied to my face that he was there once he had been transported telling me that he fell asleep. The nurse and receptionist are rude and staff does not deserve to be a part of the hospital. They will not let you talk to your loved one and will complain about you calling. Go anywhere else but not here, trust me.

Took my brother to the ER because he felt like he had another collapsed lung. They took him back for an X-ray pretty quickly, but we waited about 4 hours for the doctor to come in and say his lungs were fine. The doctor wanted my brother to have some bloodwork done, and it took another hour for the nurse to come to do the bloodwork. Another nurse came about three hours later and wanted to take more blood.
Tired of being in the ER for 8 hours, I asked her how much longer we were going to need to be there, and she condescending said, "as long as it takes". Nobody should have to be in the ER for 8+ hours for an X-ray and bloodwork.

Arrived by ambulance in November 2020, attended to immediately, had emergency surgery the following day and spent several comfortable days as inpatient. No serious complaints, the doctors and nurses took care of me.

I went in (again) because i felt a blood clot forming in my left leg and i was having trouble breathing (I'm have multiple autoimmune diseases and an immune deficiency disease). During this visit, it was noted on my chart that i had an enlarged heart, aorta lesion and other signs of heart disease. Nobody in the entire hospital told me this. They sent me home with Zithromax and no prednisone, despite me telling them that i have lung disease and need steroids and that Z-packs are ineffective on me.
I called my doctor when i got home and asked for a different antibiotic and prednisone. My lung doctor noticed the heart problems when checking my CT scan 3 weeks later and set me up for further testing, thankfully. This isn't the first time that i wasn't informed about abnormal bloodwork/tests in this ER either. IT IS EVERY SINGLE TIME. How incredibly effing dangerous!

Bad medical condition. If you are old forget care it will not happen immediately. Five hours of wait in very hard wheelchair bleeding. Close it down.

I will never return to this hospital again! I came to the ER as a pregnant woman 31 weeks pregnant, experiencing a headache after a car accident. I was not screened for a concussion or evaluated. I was provided with Tylenol and no further instructions on what to look for as warning signs. An hour after check in, I'm finally taken to labor and delivery to be monitored, and give bloodwork. Over 4 hours go by and a change of shift and no updates.
After having to make a fuss, I finally meet with an OB who so casually says everything is fine and sits down and crosses his legs while sharing my bloodwork. Which showed I was anemic! I've never had that as a test result, he still causally downplayed my concerns and was very matter of fact. Needless to say I left after that brief yet disappointing encounter. Still no idea if I have a concussion or just a headache, if I'm anemic or not. Horrible experience to be in a car accident, then have crappy care at a hospital all while being pregnant. Shame on them. With the statistics and research on the mortality rate of pregnant woman of color I'm beyond disappointed with the lackluster service I received.
