Gateway Regional Medical Center

I was forced to leave AMA because I asked what tests the doctor wanted to admit me to run that hadn't been run in the ER. I came in from extreme dizziness. He got mad and stormed out of the room and said you're leaving AMA. Then the nurse came in and just ripped the wires from the monitors off of my chest. She laughed and said she was sorry, she thought they were disconnected. Um you shut the machine off so you knew they were hooked up. All of my tests came back okay. I simply asked what other tests warranted me to be admitted and he couldn't give me an answer. Dr Ahmad was the doctor. They have not improved at all. I felt like they were holding me hostage because if you leave AMA insurance won't pay. Never again.

Rude nurses. Upon entry no one greeted me. The older CNA in the blood draw area was cursing and talking about how her day was too long and how she wanted to go home. Receptionist was an airhead. The guy that drew my blood was incredibly rude and no one had any social skills. It was a party back there not work. Maybe don't cuss in front of people. Extremely unprofessional. The doctor was great.

I've been in the waiting room for 40min, used the restroom and they took back the lady who came in after me....who's only been here 10 minutes. Is this protocol? If you use the restroom you lose your spot in line no matter how long you wait? I haven't been here in 8 years due to bad experiences. Thought maybe I would give them another try since it's been taken over. I was wrong. Nothings changed!!!

I had gone to the Mental Health Unit to get better I haven't seen a recent review lately. If you are looking for help this is not the place to go. The counseling and activity ppl that do come in are amazing the nurses are absolutely terrible they don't truly care about you getting better them seem burnt out and uninterested. And don't even bother asking them questions they will be rude and annoyed. The unit itself needs to be cleaned. If you are looking to feel safe and comfortable this is not the place to go.

Rude nurses and MAs, went in for chest pain and the doctor took one look at me, left the room, then came back to tell me "you need to stop smoking crack or Im not going to treat you for anything". I got a call TWO WEEKS later to tell me I had PNEUMONIA. Stay far, far away from this place if you value your health.
