Thank you to the Clay County ER for an outstanding job of saving my life on Feb 18, 2026! Your determination that I was in fact having a heart attack was 100% correct. Thank you for keeping me stable and getting me to Brookwood where my heart doctors are located in a timely matter. All procedures are completed, back home in recovery, and just wanted to shout out a big thank you to the doctor, nurses, and staff on duty at the Clay County ER on Feb 18, 2026. 💯❤️

Thanks for nothing Clay county ER!!! It took taking my husband to Russell Medical ER in Alexander City for him to get the proper care he needed that you guys just wouldn't or couldn't do!! My husband had to demand to be discharged from your care or should I say lack of care!! It's terrible when the Dr sends the nurses in to ask all the same questions that he's gonna ask an hour or more later when he comes in that he could have already known the answer to had the he been in the room to begin with!!! Wasting peoples time just so you can put money in your pockets! Shame!!!!

I took my daughter to this emergency room tonight for diabetes symptoms. Whichever doctor that was on duty for the night shift had no right to grab my child by the arms and drag her across the hospital bed without consulting with me first, she screamed and had hand prints on her arms when I looked. The whole entire time he was more worried about what I was doing with her as a mother instead of finding out what’s the problem on why I came in the first place.
