My experience at Marshall Medical North on June 19th was extremely alarming and put my health at…read moreserious risk. I was evaluated during my first visit that late morning/early afternoon and was told to return immediately if my condition worsened. Later that same day, my symptoms became significantly worse, so I returned as instructed. During this second visit, the physician on duty did not come into the room, did not examine me, did not reassess my symptoms, and did not repeat labs despite clear deterioration. The medical record from that second visit states that an exam was performed and that I was "in no distress." This is not accurate. I was sitting on the side of the bed actively vomiting, in severe pain, and visibly unwell. My blood pressure at discharge was 90/43. After being discharged in that condition, I traveled to a hospital in Birmingham, where I was immediately admitted with acute kidney injury and infection. I remained hospitalized from June 19th to June 23rd and required urgent surgery on June 22nd to remove the obstructing stone once the infection and kidney injury were stabilized. I have filed formal grievances with both the hospital and my insurance provider regarding the care I received during the second visit. Based on what happened to me, I cannot recommend this ER and would not feel safe returning. However, I do want to acknowledge that the initial doctor I saw, Dr. John Alves, was outstanding. He acted quickly, ordered the appropriate tests, and made sure I received pain relief. I truly appreciate his care and professionalism. I only wish he had still been on duty when I returned in worsening condition.

I've been in the waiting room for more than 2 hours with a possible blood clot in my leg with the pain steadily increasing and the dizziness increasing in waves along with being cold and hot randomly. Now they don't have any beds. I literally could've been driven to the Birmingham VA hospital and had this figured out by now but came here under recommendation of its possible severity. If I could rate zero stars I would. After finally getting to the back, the staff was very polite. They asked about my experience in the front and apologized for the treatment. They were fast and efficient.

I called and they wouldn't put it thru. Later I got a bill after a year of being seen and it wasn't even correct! They had overcharged me and I went in and spent over an hour teaching the woman basic math to correct the mistake. Then I saw a copy of the bill and they had written horrible things about me on the bill!!! I was horrified you'd think they would have more compassion for a single Christian woman not from the area trying to help her son and not throw her money away do to not having efficient people. Don't be an outsider from out of town as you will not be welcomed. They will judge you. Then they claim to be Christian with their holier than though music. Maybe some of them are but some of them aren't.

My experience with this CNA program has been very disappointing due to ongoing issues with…read morecommunication, organization, and overall facility standards. I was initially told I would be placed as part-time and given scheduled days to work. Shortly after, I was removed from the schedule without clear explanation. I was later informed that full-time employees were being prioritized, but this was not clearly communicated to me before I made changes to my own availability. They never once mentioned that me changing my status of employment would hinder my ability to take my State CNA certification. In addition, I had concerns regarding the cleanliness of the facility during my time there. The way staff communication and correction is handled did not reflect a supportive or well-structured environment in my experience. I also observed situations that made me question whether resident care was being consistently handled with the level of attention and professionalism expected in a care setting. Overall, the lack of transparency, organization, and consistency made the experience very difficult. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this program.
