This place is the last place you want to go in Grand Forks North Dakota to receive any kind of…read moremedical treatment. Honestly I would probably rather die than have to take any kind of medical treatment from these scandal fraudulent malpractice so-called doctors. The fat receptionist is a total tyrant it took the state of North Dakota contacting them for them to release my information that I signed for release of information forms for it and they did not do anything nothing at all and then the state of North Dakota contacted them and she took her tail put it between her legs and complied like a good dog

Just don't waste your time here. I've been sick for a couple weeks now and when I had gone to the…read moredoctor, I was only sick for 6 days. I was told that I needed to wait until the 10 day mark and I could call and have a prescription sent to my pharmacy. I called on the 10th day and was transferred to the nurse line. I left a voicemail and a few hours later I called back to see if anyone was available to talk. She said they're too busy and to call the other location. I did and the nurse who answered sent a message to my doctor for approval to send in a prescription. After waiting a couple more hours, I called for an ETA. The nurse who answered said it'd take 24-48 hours to hear back from my doctor. It's been over 3 days now and still haven't heard back. In the meantime I went to Altru urgent care and got a prescription.

Oh god my poor arm Snapped in half like a pencil…read moreI need it fixed now (Altru may not be perfect, but until Aurora is up and running, it's the only show in town. So here's the good and the bad... GOOD: This hosptial has absolutely top-notch hospital staff. From the doctors, to the nurses, to the front-desk staff, you will get treated by the best at Altru. Trust me... this is NOT the case at hospitals in other cities. BAD: Patients are forever complaining about billing problems once they have left the hospital. This is SUCH a common complaint about Altru. Also, in order to try and stay financially viable, Altru is demanding more, and more, and more from their employees. This IS starting to have an impact on the quality of care given to patients. Even if you have a fantastic nurse, when he/she is SOOOO busy, they won't be able to give you the best care possible. So, make sure to give compliments to the staff when they are due. And if you DON'T think your care was optimal, send a little letter to the hospital and let them know why you were unhappy. You deserve the best!)

I was super paranoid and needing emergency care from being drugged by a stranger, I remember the…read morenurses not taking me seriously and I overheard them laughing about how I was attention seeking and just smoked too much weed, (which is not true, none of the tests even said I was positive for cannabis) another time, when I was a teen, I had a psychiatrist who found out that I told a nurse my parents were abusive and I was not safe at home, and he laughed in my face about it and brought my parents in and told them. Even if I had been lying, that is 100% not okay and or professional. He also laughed about me trying to overdose, saying I was "retarded" for thinking the meds I had taken would kill me. Then I had another psychiatrist who said I made up my mental illnesses and was faking needing my meds because they lost my records so they didnt have "proof" of me needing any medications. He was also very transphobic, which made me feel even more suicidal. I would not suggest going to altru for anything at any time.
