Review of Ottumwa Regional Health Center

Oh my God! This place never changes! I was here...

Oh my God! This place never changes! I was here a few years ago for stitches... nobody helped me once I got in the room for 45 minutes... that trip took over 2 hours.... well this time, we brought a relative in, and everyone he called said come in immediately, so he did, but 5 1/2 hours later we are still waiting on him, and he tells us they really didn't do anything. They had to track down a doctor, gave him antibiotics. And told him to come back if anything changes. He'd had just been seen previously at another provider to have an angiogram, so we came away with some concern. As to the tardiness... I have been at this hospital several times in addition to the above... both with family/ friends and for myself... always slow. I had a kid I had to take to the er in osky, and we were on and seen in 10 minutes. Third people were friendly, but it just seems to me that an er visit wouldn't be so slow. These are my observations and opinions. Of course, if the next time I go in there and they are faster, I will amend this.
