Review of portneuf medical center

I have used this hospital since it was built, I have used their emergency department several times as well as had some surgeries performed here, unfortunately their only best service came when I was in the OR for an inpatient gallbladder removal, that took a week and It wasn't even that great. Their emergency room doctors, and nurses tend to be very rude, as well as very pushy to try and get people OUT as quickly as possible. They are however very quick to send bills demanding payment in full BEFORE the insurance has even processed them, this is a tactic to get you to pay more than necessary. I have to disagree with the last comment this hospital is FAR from the best hospital in Idaho. I have had many cases where I have had to sit and wait up to two hours for someone to even see me, and in many cases you wont be seen by a portneuf doctor, you will be treated by some doctor from rocky mountain emergency center, that is associated with portneuf, then three weeks later you get a bill from a completely different entity not even realizing that you weren't treated by a portneuf doctor. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone their facility is about the only thing that shows quality. Also I have had many friends and family tell me that all other clinics, and sections of the hospital show just as low quality as the ER does, my recommendation, STAY AWAY! your paying for treatment , in a fancy building with rude staff.
