Generally great care; so thankful to have this hospital in our remote area. Sadly we do need to go to Grand Forks or further for many types of care. But they are professional and caring, the staff is local - our neighbors. Sorta expensive compared to similar procedures in other facilities would be my biggest negative, but I guess that might be the price of having their service in a remote area.

Doctor was rude, and didn't listen and nurse took temperature with out the even touching the skin, hard to determine a fever or not taking it that way.

This hospital does not call you back, does not schedule needed procedures its a fight to get any medical attention.
the ER is a joke, they do not take anybodys life seriously. their biggest concern is running mulitipal unneeded tests IMO to pad their bill.
they will refuse to see people even for life threatening issues..

The ER specifically will charge you for things they dont even do, they are very disrespectful, and their only goal is get you back out the door instead of treating you. Even in serious cases like miscarriages the staff are very cold and bitter. My wife got religiously chastized by a nurse when we were their and we arent religious by any means. I could go on and on about how many terrible experiences Ive had their.

Some of the staff really want to help you and take the time to exam you and listen to your issues while others try to get u in and out like u are cattle. Need more than just one Doctor of Internal Medicine for the entire hospital. They receive your medical files but dont download them in the system for the doctors to review to see your medical and family history. They are decent but have great areas of improvement

You have a CNA who is sharing some pretty sick stuff. Do you want to be represented by a guy who gets off on beheading fantasies?
