Report
I was treated aka mistreated by this hospital when I had pneumonia with a lung abscess. I had an allergy bracelet on and I told them not to give me penicillin and they gave me zosyn and one of the nurses said it wasn't penicillin but it actually was. My veins and face swelled up because they gave me something I was allergic to. I was having a reaction and they didn't give me allergy medicines right away. If you have allergies and want to be listened to steer clear of this hospital.

I went in the hospital Wednesday due to having bad pain. My problem with this hospital is that sit around and chat all damn day other then doing their job. They gave me meds that made me sick not feel better. I had to stop taking the pills just to feel better. It takes them about 30-45 mins to come to your room after you pressed the button. If someone was dying they would be dead this hospital is to unprofessional it is disturbing. The supervisor was not helpful by the name of Angie. When I advised I wanted to give feedback about my visit she said okay umm.. go ahead as in I was bothering her

WOW less than 3 stars and that is WAY HIGH. The most unprofessional hospital organization I have seen. Be careful. They will not explain what your insurance may NOT cover and schedule you anyway telling "we accept your insurance". To make matters worse, they won't talk to you and tell you " that's your problem". I have two great Docs there, but have to schedule other locations for tests. Not only is is bad for patients, but the Docs are aware of the problem and not happy about it either.

Report
I went in for a severe migraine and chest pain that was a result of the immense overall pain I was in. My doctor was great but the nurse I had blew two veins in my left arm and one in my right before I requested they not do the IV out of fear how much more this nurse would damage me trying to do it. At one point the nurse said "it's not all the way in the vein but let's just try and then pumped the nausea medication in and it burned and made my skin bubble. That was when I screamed for the doctor because I was genuinely scared. They were able to give me oral medication for everything
