What could have been done to improve your experience?
Listened to reason came in. Listened to request about admission. Patient put in a room with a bed instead of a too small recliner. Kept ER at a better temperature. It was freezing cold. Even the RN said she was cold. Kept patient better informed as to what was happening. We left AMA because patient was extremely cold and hurting due to the too small recliner and no end was in sight.

Signing in at the desk and then onto the triage nurse to the person that drew bloodwork from me to the nurse in the room at the emergency area at the hospital, they all treated me very respectful and were very concerned with trying to help me to feel better.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
For me a [AGE] year old woman the wait was quite long as I was in the emergency room area for five hours. Probably staff shortages which can’t be avoided because people get sick and just can’t come to work.

The registration person was very nosy and she was very irritated that I have Medicaid. She asked me several times before I said it was none of her business. She even came into my room to ask me again.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Fire the registration lady.

They explained everything to me and we’re concerned for my well-being in situation. They went way out of their way to help me get home. They were all very kind.

What could have been done to improve your experience?
Listen to the parents. Understand that not every child is by the book. Have rooms for children with disabilities where the parents can feel safe with their child there

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
The medical care was great but the kindness of the staff during a stressful and frightening situation is what earned them an excellent rating.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
The only thing I can think of would be having more staff to shorten the visit but I realize that is a universal challenge in healthcare.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I was not given a bed or blankets for the majority of my time and I was there for hours. I also was in the waiting room for a ridiculous amount of time. I would not visit this emergency room again if I had an emergency.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Been more careful with my IV, checked on me more often, given me blankets when I was obviously cold and using my jacket as a blanket after being asked to take it off, less time in the waiting room, more attendance to my words and what I was actually saying, put me in an actual medical room with a bed instead of a nearly empty room with no practical appliances and a recliner.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Everyone was great. Matt Kanitz did a wonderful job interacting and ensuring [NAME] felt safe. The trip was quick and efficient

Oct 12, 2026
Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
The care that [NAME] received once he got to his ER room was great. Unfortunately, there were Two moments before that which put a sour taste in our mouth. First, when [NAME] fainted in the lab, the lab technician said [removed profanity] as she went to call for the response team. Then, as I was registering [NAME], someone entered the area and was unable to see me behind a pillar. He said something along the lines of “seriously, another fainter?” in a tone that clearly made it obvious he was not thrilled to be helping us.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Please remember that patients aren’t exactly excited to be there already, And making us feel incredibly unwelcome just makes it worse.

Very good experience

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
My only negative experience was the lady at ER desk on my arrival. She was not very pleasant at all. My friend had to get a wheel chair, go outside and take me inside. I feel a medical employee should have done this, especially when a heart attack was suspected. Once I got in a room, treatment was very good.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Hire nice, friendly employees. This is the first person you have contact with in ER. A little empathy goes a long ways when you're nervous and afraid when you go in.

The nurse that I had for most of the time I was there. Unfortunately I don't remember her name between the bad headache and the medications.

Dr. Smith was very kind and caring. He made sure I was comfortable and he was very efficient! Thank you for taking care of my injury quickly and carefully!
What could have been done to improve your experience?
I'm not sure that anything could have been better. The team was extremely helpful and efficient.

Oct 6, 2026
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Some of the test results shared with me by the nurse were inaccurate and led to an unfortunate misunderstanding of my situation. I was left without any communication from my medical team for multiple hours and when I pressed the call button I was scolded by my nurse for asking about the situation. Overall I felt dismissed. Communication every hour or two and accurate reporting of test results would have helped.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Justin Rn no complaints. The only Doctor I saw before. 7 am was very good. After 7am no. Concern or communication. Told a little after 7 am the new doctor was reading my CT and would be in shortly. I left at 9:30 my choice. Overall care... poor!!
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Have staff do their jobs. Check on their patients, keep them informed. Not jjusttt sit all night in a row at the desk....

Oct 6, 2026
What could have been done to improve your experience?
For my visit, I had a very good nurse and an excellent doctor. The nurse kept me updated and informed of the different processes that were taking on for my visit. That was so helpful rather than waiting or anticipating or trying to speculate what was going on. I had a wonderful nurse.

Oct 6, 2026
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Nurses should be more caring and not animated.

Oct 6, 2026
Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I feel as though my problems were not heard and that o was more of a problem being there to them. I asked for socks and a blanket multiple times and no one would give me any. Then they tried to tell the doctor I was running around crazy without socks even though they made me walk the whole er in bare feet to take a urine test. They had me in a cold room all night and would not allow my husband to come be with me until 7. We got there at 12.

Dr. Eric Smith could learn some bedside manner especially when people are struggling with mental health.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
My nurse that cared for me was excellent, knowledgeable, empathetic and caring. She took time to explain things and did not make me feel worse than I already was.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
The doctor could have listened to me more. Her attitude about why I was taking a certain supplement was rude. I was not feeling well and having a hard time explaining all the reasons I take it at such a late hour in the night to try and explain it. Felt like she was being condescending.

Nothing that I know of or seen needs to be changed.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Doctor came in 1 time to talk with us. Ran a bunch of test. Not explaining what, why or how. Nurse gave I.V bag then when that was done. Didn't answer page. No answer or just simply explain anything to me.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Come back and chat with me and daughter about her issue

Sep 22, 2026
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Waiting area seating was dirty. ER seemed a little under staffed. I was there on a very low priority visit for rabies exposure, so I understand why we waited so long, but 4 hours for a vaccination seems really inefficient. Great care and professionalism, however.

Sep 21, 2026

I walked out due to them taking 3 hrs to even have a Dr come in my room that's sad

What could have been done to improve your experience?
A little better explanation during triage regarding how it works with a concussion and clearance for sports would’ve saved us a lot of time because what we needed was clearance for him to return to sports. Spent hours waiting for a doctor to tell us well there’s no exact test and concussion protocol is this…

Sep 20, 2026

Asked if I needed a blanket

Everyone,when I did see them,was friendly
What could have been done to improve your experience?
It was full so my service time was decent. I was roomed and never seen anyone for an hour or so. The provider was in the room maybe 2 minutes to tell me I had broke a bone. That is my 1 and only contact with them. I imagine the bill for her services will be hundreds. Triage nurse ordered xray. Er nurse did my cast.
