Consumer Reviews
I was asked by the head of nursing what they could do to make up to me what happened in the hospital... When I worte a letter asking them to write of $750.00 of my bill for the treatment I received and the pain I suffered, they denied my request. Said it could not be done. If I can find an attorney that will take my case, I will sue that Hospital for pain and suffering and negligence....

This was my second stay . You would have thought they would know me after my first stay . I am a bariactric patient and can not take pills. The Nurse gave me pills smashed up in puddidng. To make More »Close » a long story short , everything I took got stuck in my esophagus and nothing went into my system and that caused me to have great pain. I had to have an endoscopy done to unplug my esophagus. The night nurse was rude to me and told me I could not have anything else for pain even tho I was crying and wanted my leg cut off.... She never called my doctor or the head nurse. Just left me lay there in horrible pain... I can not say enuough good things about the doctors at that hospital. However their staff needs some training. They also need to look at a patients chart as my chart was marked in BIG RED LETTERS... DO NOT GIVE PILLS..
