  If I could give it a half star I would. I came here with my bf because he was having sharp pains in his shoulder leading up to the back of his head. The on call pa was Lisa and she was not very friendly. Just blew the whole conversation off and said it was muscle spasms. They tried discharging him with some medication he knew he wasn’t supposed to take as I said something bout it they told us to not take the medication if we thought it was harmful. Knowing his history and knowing these things they tried to discharge him after giving him pain medication I stated he had sat here for another 30 mins before actually being discharged and he had told the nurse he still was in a lot of pain and that the medication wasn’t working. They had an attitude when we asked the nurse to speak to the doctor. Never Will I be coming back here I’d rather wait hrs at moses cone then to come here.

  Wife in for 4 hr surgery. The employees were very nice and professional. Doctor was great, kept me updated. Don't live in this area but only way to get in for surgery quicker. Would come back if cut down on wait time.

  Unless I’m hauled in there on a gurney, I’m never stepping foot in this hospital again. I developed acute laryngitis, stopped breathing, dialed 911, and went to the ER. The diagnosis was laryngospasm, which I had never even heard of… incredibly terrifying! I was given my first ever steroid IV and released with prednisone tablets to take as needed for breathing difficulties. I began waking up after having strange convulsive spasms during the night and thought it was more laryngospasms. Then it happened when I was completely awake and I realized I just had a seizure. That ER visit was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. The same doctor was on call and patted my leg and said it was anxiety. I was confused and then angry because he was not listening to what I was telling him. Then the nurse stopped in briefly and also dismissed my concern. I told them I was leaving, put my boots on, and left. I threw the prednisone in the trash and suffered for a couple more days with breathing issues. Now I’m writing this review after doing some more research. A very rare and dangerous side effect of corticosteroids is seizures. No one bothered to mention that to me. And with some seizures, there is no loss of awareness. The ER doctor told me I didn't have a seizure because I had no time loss. And he told me that if I was going to have a reaction to the steroid, it would've happened while I was at the hospital because I was there for over an hour after they administered the IV. Wrong again. Thankfully, I’m intelligent enough to know that I’m having some serious physical symptoms and not anxiety. It’s incredibly sad and shocking that this is the level of care and concern that we receive from those in charge of our medical care. Edit added 12/6/2025 after having time to heal and research all this....I discovered an error in my medical record which explained why I kept hearing "anxiety". It was so baffling to me as I was going through this experience. It was as if a memo had gone out with "anxiety" as the buzz word for the week, but I was left off the list. I am a stroke survivor who showed up in the ER saying I was having seizures from a medication that had been administered 3 days earlier. You would think in a hospital with a neurology and stroke care unit, that my concern would have been taken seriously. But the doctor's attitude and the nurse saying, "There are people here more sick than you are; we'll get to you when we can." is shocking and completely lacking in compassion and integrity. And I was calm, cool, and collected throughout all this...NO sign of any anxiety...low blood pressure, normal pulse, etc.... I encourage all of you to check your medical record for accuracy so that it can't be used against you. And, if you have a mental health diagnosis on your chart, please do not go here without a friend or an advocate. Especially if you are a woman. Have your advocate document and report any comments regarding your emotional "condition" while you seek care for a real physical condition. This kind of nonsense needs to end. The word anxiety was brought into every conversation and even became their diagnosis. I was so baffled until I understood what they saw on my medical record and how that became a weapon for all of them. Utterly terrifying. The "anxiety" card was played by the ER doctor during my first visit with his comment, "How do you know you stopped breathing?" That's like asking someone, "How do you know you stopped being able to see?" I was so sick that night I couldn't even process the utter stupidity of his question. But again, I didn't know that EVERYONE involved was using incorrect information against me, acting as if I was having anxiety attacks. I've never had an anxiety attack in my entire life, yet even if I had, the injustice and marginalization I suffered is incomprehensible and disgusting behavior from our health care system. For a hospital system that brought in $6 billion in revenue and showed net income of $78 million for 2024, you can do better.
