I went into the ER as I was having sever toothache pain and needed to try and get some better pain pills than what my Dentist gave me last Monday. I have a Appointment to see a Oral Surgeon on Tuesday. Anyway I only have a few left and the Dentist Office was closed on Friday ( I didnt know they would be closed) . The Doctor in charge was rude and seamed to treat me like I was homeless or something, he kept telling me that he wasnt going to refill my prescription even raising his voice several times. I showed him the prescription that my Dentist gave me and he flat out told me he wouldnt

I arrived at my mammogram appointment 15 minutes prior to my scheduled time and was finished and leaving the facility within just over 20 minutes. The radiologist explained the process every step of the way. This was my 4th mammogram at PMHC and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Billing department is horrible. You might get your bill 8 months after the fact. They'll send you to collections even if your making monthly payments. Really takes away from a clean hospital with some good Doctors.

Billing Contact needs revamped!!! We always pay our bills and are not behind. We do NOT need to receive daily phone calls to set up payment. Send me the bill and it will be paid promptly, phone calls are NOT the way to handle this. It sure looks like for a non-profit you have too much money, try lowering the fees. The building is nice and personnel are wonderful. Please tell billing to not call me.
