Review of Havasu Regional Medical Center

This hospital is the worst. My Father died of lung...

This hospital is the worst. My Father died of lung cancer because they did not think to do a body petscan even though he had been in there over many years and months. they would have found it well in time and at least prolonged his life. The house doctors and "PA"'s seem to be clueless, they hire the cheapest and the worst unskilled people. they have extreme "wet blanket" personalities. the nurses are very good caring people though. I went to ER for a bad bacterial throat infection while visiting havasu, when my father died there, got a "PA" who gave me very weak pediatric anti-biotics which made it worse...so bad a day later i couldnt swallow, and was worried my air way would close. my sister drove up next day from CA to take me to a real ER in anaheim CA (a 6hr drive at 2am) where they properly treated me with strong anti-biotics. My mother has been at havasu regional several times, and was diagnosed with myriad of things including lung cancer (by specialists), the house dr treated her callously. they caused her pneumonia to extend for months by giving her weak anti-biotics, no steroids, and not communicating with her other doctors including her pulmonologist which was key to her health. she had to skip radiation for 3 weeks because of that. my poor mother who is 81. go to another hospital if you can, drive to kingman, vegas, or even phoenix, until this hospital gets their act together. bunch of heartless bean counters is all they are.
