They do nothing for you not a real hospital they talk to you like your a child rather than an adult. Literally there for 2 hours and told me to take what already taken and a note for work for 2 days, I am not missing work till why I went in after work. Go to Reno I have to go out there tomorrow where real doctors are. Waste a value time for nothing!! Don’t go, Reno is an hour and half away and worth the drive.

Came in for emergency stitches. Sat for over 4 hours before getting stitches than had to wait another 2 to be discharged. The wounds weren't cleaned and ended up infected. Insurance was billed $6300 which was paid. They than added $3000 to the bill but didn't send it to insurance. It's cheaper, faster, and better care to drive to Reno.

I have had a medical condition for 3 years. Doctors in Reno AND Las Vegas couldn't cure it. After just one visit with Tyson at Persing General Hospital, I was finally diagnosed correctly and given the correct medication. He is amazing and so are the staff. CURED!

Traveling through the State my husband got very sick. They did nothing for him as far as tests. Blood pressure and a few questions. All for $1600. We were out in less than 90 minutes. Definitely gave off the vibe that they didn't want you there. We felt like we were interrupting a movie. Keep going to Reno if you can make it.
