Worst hospital on the planet. I first went to their little emergency clinic to try to get help, I get hives frequently so I asked since I was new to the area to call my doctor and to get what they do. After they got off the phone they COMPLETELY ignored everything my doctor said and gave me a different treatment which never works I tried to tell the but they did not listen to me. The next day I woke up and my hives were worse I called the emergency clinic back and THEY REFUSED TO SEE ME telling me to go to the hospital. I went there with an allergic reaction the day of my birthday and the nurse kept telling me I had no reason to be there because "nothing was wrong with me." Even though I was covered in hives. I just brushed it off because bad day sat there and relaxed as the IV drip did it's thing. I was on my way. Later that afternoon I ended up covered in hives for a third time but they were worse. I went back to the ER and asked what medications they gave me and they told me. It ended up being a medication I had REFUSED because I told them I was allergic to it. I walked back in and that same nurse was standing at the nurses station telling the others I was just there for drugs that there was nothing wrong with me. Mind you they rushed me back because the hives was on my face and my face was swelling, but no nothing was wrong with me. I called that next week and spoke to the administration and told them what happened they said that they would write my name and number down and they would get back to me. They never did. Then I called when I got my first bill talked to them again they promised to get back to me. I called in January they promised to get back to me. All times they told me not to worry about making payments on my bill that this matter would be taken care of. Now we're in February I still have not heard from them, and now my bill was sent to collections. I paid the bills to get them out of collections but I'm completely done with this hospital.
