Went last week for stomach flu, the Drs visit was fine and Paul Brouilette was super nice. They…read moregave me a note to return to work on Monday, since I was out 3 days I had to get a FMLA medical leave to return to work... here it is now 4 trips since then to still try and get my my form so I can get cleared to return to work. The doctor and his nurse lied to me that they never received the forms from Sun life. Waited around for hours at the doctor's office. Got this resent and got confirmation they received it yesterday. Was told by both it would be completed in faxed that evening... waited and spent hours calling into sun life to check, only to find they never received it... the Dr never sent it... called today and they initiated it would be done, still no response, so again I have driven all the way to their office in marksville and am waiting for the Dr to fill out a 1 page medical leave form... I guarantee after this hell I will not be returning, as obviously this Dr nor his nurse could give two shits about their patients... :/

Lab tests are highway robbery!…read more Dr. Fossier at the St Francis Cypress Rural Health Center across the street from the hospital was a very nice and engaging doctor, but this was the most expensive doctor's appointment I've ever had! I went in to get a check up. I just turned 40, and I have kids, and I hadn't been to a doctor in years, so I just wanted to make sure I'm healthy for them going forward. Dr. Fossier ordered some blood tests, which I took in his office. A while later, I got a claim notice from my insurance for West Feliciana Hospital for $721! I never even set foot in their hospital! The hospital is in-network with my insurance, but it is the most expensive lab around, by far! I looked it up, and my insurance expects that out-of-pocket costs for these tests at the 12 closest facilities in my area, excluding this hospital should be minimum $43, maximum $97. Had I known the blood tests would cost this much, I wouldn't have agreed to them. I feel betrayed that Dr. Fossier would send these blood tests to a lab that costs 8 to 15 times more expensive than other labs without a heads up. I called the office but they never called me back! I've submitted an appeal to the hospital noting that I had been charged much more than the $585 expected OOP cost. I didn't have high blood pressure when I went into his office, but I sure do now!

I had to press several more times so he took the ringer off my door. the little black nurse came in to give me pain meds, she went in the wrong direction and blew out my vain. they left me like that for several hours. the male nurse came in a few hours later, I was in pain and my arm was swollen and purple. he called the little black nurse she was mad and came to my room and said some harsh words to me. but left me with my arm swollen and purple. I rang again cause I needed my pain meds. they said I couldn't have more because she gave me some already. I showed them my arm and said it in a bubble in my arm. they finally gave me Tylenol and put my iv in a different place and then gave me pain meds.THIS WAS THE WORST HOSPITAL IVE EVER BEEN IN!!

My mom was a patient of nurse practitioner Lizabeth Hattaway. She was adjusting my mom's medication…read moreand my mom had some rough patches. Anyway Hattaway sent my mom to a place called freedom behavior. They were according to what was told to my mom they would fix her medicine and keep her a few nights about 3 days. When my mom went in immediately she started being mistreated told to strip down and shower and watched while she was showering. She was in a tiny room very cold and asked for a blanket the worker did not give her one. I tried to call my mom 2 times and was told i could not speak to her and when I asked why I was hung up on twice. My aunt finally got my mom out of there and my mom said they never monitored or offered her medicine on top of that there was a male patient in there that kept grabbing her. When my mom had her next appointment with Hattaway my mom explained to her what happened. Hattaway told my mom to shut up and if she did not straighten up she would send her to the mental institution in Shreveport. That is a threat and under patient privacy act you cannot make verbal threats like that . I looked it up. Hattaway kept changing my mom's medicine and my mom went through very difficult times acting out crying etc. My mom has a new doctor now since she has stopped going to Hattaway it is been a complete 180 difference. I know that byrd had a very long and bad rap sheet. Stay away from this place go to cabrini or deridder. If i had a heart attack here in Leesville I would not care if it was more time consuming to go to Alexandria or deridder no way will I roll the dice with byrd hospital or any doctors or nurse practitioners affiliated with this place

We had issues with the fact that they are out of network so the insurance wouldn't cover the insurance, but allowed me to see him just as a patient without insurance and the pay was a lot less. They chatted with me as I was leaving and were happy to help us find our way back to the interstate. High marks.
