Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Waited almost 2 hours for a provider. Nurse only checked on us 2 times during the 8 hours we were here. Radiologist wait time needs to be improved as that would cut down er time tremendously. Otherwise they did listen to us to help us rule out major problems

I’ve been to the emergency room several times and had a very good experience the only issue is waiting time. Maybe do some research on hospitals that have quicker patient service. Other than that all the staff in the emergency room do a excellent job taking care of patients..
What could have been done to improve your experience?
If they could find a way to speed up the wait time in the lobby before patients go back to be seen..

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I probably shouldn’t use the term “wonderful experience” because mo one ever wants to go to ER. But every single person that I came into contact with was so professional, kind & friendly. I knew I was in competent hands and I’m so thankful Alpena has such a skilled hospital.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
I can’t think of one thing other than maybe to make the rooms a bit warmer.
