I've been going to Haxtun health for a while now. I had a bill that went bad for to no fault of my own, and was sent to collections. Ive had problem after problem getting the opportunity to pay my bill. After dealing with collections, i called their billing department and spoke with Deb. She was extremely unprofessional, tried multiple times to speak over me, as well as hanging up on me after not liking what I had to say. She stayed that their online site for paying bills was down and not working which is untrue, it never worked and I'm sure there was no notification to patients sent out. I had

I live just a short walk from this hospital, and over the past 50 years they've treated me for things as minor as a case of chickenpox to something as serious as getting stabbed in the arm with a carving fork. I trust them, depend on them, and I'm very grateful they've been there for me when I've needed them. If you need them, the staff of the Haxtun Hospital will be there for you, too.

Great staff. But Craig McCarthy is a fraud. Who waste somebodys time not only in travel time, but time from work. Works clear through the process. Then just pulls out the rug on all of his patients bc he is having a bad day. Not sure what kind of dr he is but I see why he left Wyoming! Really loved all the staff there. But there dr is a fraud of a dr!
