Im very annoyed with this place my mom came for leg pain, have been here 7 hours. 3 hours ago we were told by the nurse that the xray and ultrasound results were back, but yet the doctor has not came in to go over them. Still sitting here waiting while the doctor eats, jokes with nurses and plays on his phone. Don't come here......

This place… I can’t even give it a 1 star. I was working at Seneca View and was sent over to the hospital for suspected heart attack. I have a very extensive heart history. Apparently all my tests were normal which is not surprising because it happens a lot but have been taken into the cath lab and needed more work. I tried to tell the doctor that and no one listens. But they did keep me and were going to see how I was thru the night and make a decision in the morning how I did. And maybe a transfer to Sayre. I had pain thru the night and had been made comfortable thru the night. At 6am I told the staff I was having chest pain and staff came in to tell me I was being discharged. I questioned them about kt because I was still in pain. The doctor and the staff said they did all they could and it showed it was not cardiac and needed to follow up with my doctor. I asked for a transfer and they said no. I want even asking for any narcotics. Just to be comfortable. I told them I had to try to get ahold of my husband which his phone is sometimes on mute and then he is an hour away. They told me I could do that while waiting in the waiting room. I had asked them several times if I could rest and wait. They refused. Mind you, no one was in the waiting room for a bed. They could not answer about waiting in the room. Just that I had to go to the waiting room. They finally callled the sheriff. When he got there I tried explaining and that I was trying to call my husband. He didn’t listen. Just gave me so many min to get ready. Well it was going to take me longer because with my chest pains, I don’t move fast. He came back in. The staff had been trying to take my IV out. I told them not to touch me unless I told them they could . You don’t just grab someone. The sheriff eventually arrested me for trespassing. When all I was asking to rest until my husband got there because I have a tendency to pass out. Especially when I have chest pains. Instead they have me arrested… plus it ended up being more. No compassion. Lying about keeping me and re-evaluating the next day. They thought all I wanted was narcotics. Which is never what I wanted. My cardiologist has seen everything that happened and knows that I wasn’t lying about how I was feeling. She is suggesting I go to Sayre if I have chest pains. But I will never go to a hospital now with chest pains.

I wouldn't even give this one star but I don't think that I could write a message without giving a star I went to the emergency room June 1st for a very serious problem as if it was a joke and she made fun of me and she was condescending. They would not call me a medical cab to go back home saying I had to do it even though they knew they had to. I ended up paying $60 for a cab that I didn't have and could not afford. I would like her to make an apology to me all all of them from the first I would like them all to have to apologize to me and give me my money back for the cab and they never would have called it at 7:30 when I got done I wouldn't have been taking one at 4:00 in the morning to get home.. there was not one professional person there

Dr. Lauren Yee refused to listen to me for almost a year when I thought there was something really wrong with my neck after falling down a flight of stairs. I was in excruciating pain and crying, pleading for help visit after visit and it was met with dismissal over and over again, even though I clearly explained to her that I was getting worse despite heavy medication and physical therapy. She refused me imaging until I finally had enough and I referred myself elsewhere. Sure enough my c3 disc was herniated and compressing my spinal cord. She was visibly annoyed when I told her that I referred myself to neuro and in fact was right. May your path never find this dreaded hospital in your time of desperate need. This is only one of the many, many, many examples of their gross negligence.

Went in an a nurse told me it was all in my head, “psychological”. He said I can talk to the provider but he is sure it’s all psychosomatic. I have seen other providers that have confirm my condition is not psychological and a condition that a lot of the people with the same other condition that I have also have.
