The Department of Veterans Affairs referred to WRMC for specialized blood work. I simply need to reschedule my appointment for a later time. I have a referral number and give it to every department the operator directed my call. Every department I talk to claims, that I have the wrong department. After an half an hour of this back and forth, of trying to reschedule my appointment I gave up.
This is the worst Hospital in the State of Pennsylvania. The Doctors don't know anything. They have gave me the wrong medical diagnosis in their ER Twice and gave my wife and children the wrong diagnosis during their visit. It seem like the doctors there get their Degree in Medicine from walmart (especially the ER Doctors). It sucks that it is the only hospital close to me, so when I have an emergency I have no choice but to go there.
ER doctors playing hooky with their scribes, nurses gossiping in the back, and nothing gets done. Nobody cares!
I had an appointment today at the Health and Innovation Center and was surprised that there was no temp check at the entrance, and no one reminding people to wear a mask. I was only there 10 minutes because my provider had an emergency surgery. In that short time two people made it to the 3rd floor without masks. A mask was offered to them and the older man said he can't wear a mask for health reasons. BULL! HE COULD WEAR A FACE SHIELD! He was asked to leave. By then I was on the elevator when he yelled for me to hold the elevator and I refused. There may be helpful treatments for Covid, but theres no treatment for stupid.
Once downstairs I encountered two more people with no masks and they were no social distancing.
This UPMC facility is unsafe! Their publicity about Covid safeguards are not true.
It's ashame that I went to the er and waited 3 hours to be seen. I am pregnant and fell also having contractions. They did not care!
Another good UPMC experience. This time Andrea Bickford, DO of Family Medicine at Loyalsock. My appt was on 5/21/18. She immediately put me at ease. She was relatable and down to earth. She was confident, professional and competent. I told her it had been over 10 yrs since, I had been to a doctor. She immediately scheduled several blood tests, talked to me about a colonoscopy, uugggghhh! And talked about planning for a probable upcoming surgery. Long story short is I trust this doctor with my care.
Care and concern lacked until I saw the Doctor. I had injured/cut the side of my face near my ear and it required 14 stitches. Somehow, I tore the side of my face open when I hit the nightstand falling out of bed. When I arrived, we had stopped the bleeding and I was asked to sit in the waiting room until 6:00 a.m. It was 4:00 a.m. at the time. 6:00 a.m. arrives and I finally get an ER room and lay down. My husband said, get out of that bed. There was blood all over it. Finally Doctor comes, puts in me in a clean room and took care of me. She did a great job and had lots of compassion. Don't remember her name.
