My son was involved in a very bad vehicle accident in West Jackson. We visited the ER at Merit health Central. The check in was pleasant and nice. The triage nurse was very intuitive and asked very specific questions about the accident. When assigned to a room in the ER, a CNA gave us ice cream sandwiches as we waited. The CT and radiology techs who did the CT and X-rays were so nice and made him extremely comfortable. Then, the NP, Beth stitched him up with care and compassion. It was a very good experience. Love MERIT HEALTH CENTRAL. Thank you ER staff so much. You guys are the best! Can't wait until the hospital is fully like it used to be. I know it'll be of great service to the community as it's always been. Thanks for you all and all you do! read more

Just like other reviewers said, very rude, staff makes it obvious that they don't want me here. Clerk kept asking why i didn't go to a hospital closer to me. read more

They will try to overcharge the hell out of you, make you wait FOREVER (even while profusely bleeding in an empty waiting room), and the staff is VERY RUDE not helpful at all. If you have an actual emergency you might as well drive the extra miles. The staff that cleaned my wound and treated it were nice (not overly) but I wouldn't complain. read more

Perhaps a lot has changed since Merit bought CMCC, because it is now primarily a reconstructive center (for burns and similar injuries). The rooms and furnishings seem dated, but functional and clean. The rooms are quiet and the nursing staff competent and kind. The only bad thing I could even say about the place is that the staff in surgical holding and recovery are obnoxious. They listen to country music and have personal conversations loudly and basically make patients feel like an inconvenient interruption to the little tea party that is their job. As I was coming out of anesthesia from a skin graft of 3rd degree burns I was in pain and was cursing - not loudly, mind you, but also not completely consciously either. I didn't appreciate the way the nurse in recovery scolded me considering the amount of pain I was in. She could have gently helped me through that but was too busy visiting with her friend/coworker and just wanted me to shut up. Surgical holding and recovery was a miserable experience because of the staff there and I deeply regret I didn't tell that judgmental wench in recovery to go fork herself. read more

Merit Health Central - Medical Centers Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I am writing this review on behalf of my brother-in-law and sister. My brother-in-law had a tragic accident and severely injured multiple fingers. He had to come from Meridian because Meridian's hospitals did not have the capability to attempt a surgery. Dr. Derek Culnan was wonderful! He didn't have much to work with, but was able to do a phenomenal job at giving my brother-in-law a chance at keeping the injured fingers. It's still to be determined if he will keep his fingers, but Dr. Culnan did absolutely everything he could. He was very thoughtful and courteous throughout the process and made sure my sister and brother-in-law knew every step in the decision making process. The one complaint would be that we felt my brother-in-law was sent home too early before pain was better controlled. But this did happen over the holiday so we understood why they may would want to send him home. Additionally, the nurse practitioner, Rodney B., took 30 minutes with my sister to ensure my brother-in-law had a safe plan for his opioid schedule and went over the chances of recovery. The rest of the medical staff including nurses were wonderful as well. Thank you Dr. Culnan! read more

This was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had at a hospital. I was told I was going to be admitted so I sent my son home to carthage only to find out that at midnight I was being asked to leave. After waiting 3 hours to see me I was told I would be admitted. Them told that my ride would pick me up this was unprofessional and rude. The attending was Richard miles and Matthew burkhalter. I was very ill when I was asked to leave I was asleep in my bed. My son had to drive from carthage to pick me up.. this was very humiliating and unprofessional. I will never be back read more

The most unprofessional hospital I've ever been to. The staff was beyond rude. My husband was short of breath and was about to faint and couldn't get any medical attention. We also had to find some one to get us a wheelchair and the security just stood there and looked at us like we were crazy all while we were freaking out. We had to bang on the windows in order for us to even speak to someone. Some lady told us that she would get to us when his name pops up on some screen. We ended up having to go to UMMC where he was properly treated! read more

The wait times are ridiculously long. I don't know if it's because of staff numbers or lack of professionalism. There's room for improvement, for sure. read more

This is the worse decision I ever made by sending my daughter to this facility for a crisis. The hospital is holding her hostage and we haven't seen or been able to see my daughter at home in 3 weeks. Nurses are RUDE and once you get back rude with them they try to use it against you or their clients. I am still waiting on the nurse practitioner to call me and explain to me how they suddenly determined my daughter is still depressed and bipolar but she keeps avoiding me and keeps pressing the chancery court system there to back her up by trying to get them to send my perfectly normal daughter to Whitfield. She has been isolated for 3 weeks and still finds a way to keep pushing while held hostage at this facility. They refuse to call me and explain their diagnosis to me as parent and its been 3 whole week!!! My daughter is refusing the medication which she doesn't need obviously and they are refusing to release her. This has been a horrible experience for me and my family. Please avoid at all cause at sending any family member her for any crisis. They will make up things to diagnosis them with and cause more harm than help by trying to force a diagnosis on them that isn't true and hold them hostage if they refuse the medication . It's been 3 weeks and my daughter is in prison from a single isolated event!!!! This facility is a nightmare read more

I'm giving 2 stars out of sympathy. I understand that they are all probably understaffed and over worked (and I appreciate them for showing up), but I recently got in an accident and was neglected. I came here by ambulance and they sent me home and said nothing was wrong. No discharge papers, no prescription paper, no location to pick up my prescription, nothing! I went back to get paperwork for my job and realized that I had actual injuries that were documented on my discharge papers (that I only saw because I went back and requested them). I asked the nurse for a workers release form & she gave me 2 days. There was no way she actually read the injuries on my chart! I was experiencing so much pain and didn't realize why & it was because they said nothing was wrong. When I came back for my documentation, the nurse walked to the board & my prescription paper had been sitting there since the day of my accident! They need help! My experience here was terrible. Go somewhere else if you can. read more

Don't go here!!! drive the extra miles and go somewhere else! Nothing gets done you'll be waiting for hours and some of the staff are down right rude! read more
