Review of Altoona Regional Health System

My wife had a broken wrist in idaho 4 weeks prior to moving here. With tricare waiting to be transferred to a new region we spent a few different trips here trying to get them to remove the cast in the ER. They refused to do so and continued telling her she needs 1 more week. They did not at all recognize the orthopedic specialist she saw in idaho that ordered her cast to be on for 3 weeks. The physician assistant that saw us even told her to see a new orthopedic specialist even though our insurance isn't updated! This hospital is a nightmare.
