We looked up hospitals, because urgent cares weee all close around 6 pm at night. They had good reviews and it was a great experience for a stressful situation. This place was fast and we appreciated the total of 1:30hr emergency room turnaround in and out with a glued cut and a smiling face! Recommended this hospital for a crummy situation.

I was a patient on the 2nd floor for a week during April 2022. During my stay, all those who cared…read morefor me were wonderful. There were a few individuals who really stood out as going above and beyond. I would like to share the ways they helped to make my hospital stay more comfortable. There were several individuals in and out of my room to clean. All were friendly and did a wipe down of some surfaces, swept and emptied trash bins. There was one young lady named Arin however who disinfected every surface in the room. She wiped down the chairs, doorknobs, bedside table and every other exposed surface, and did all her cleaning in a timely manner. I was very impressed with her thoroughness. She made me feel that the room was really well sanitized. Marcia and Bree were two nursing techs who stood out above the rest. They seemed to know and respond to what I needed before I knew myself. They were so on top of things, always making sure my water cup was filled, I had what I needed for hygiene and comfort, communicating my thoughts, questions and concerns to the nurses and the doctor, and striving to provide a level of comfort that is difficult to find as a hospital patient. I found the respiratory staff to be among the finest that have cared for me. I have chronic respiratory issues and have stayed in other hospital facilities over the past several years, but Alicia, Dan and Garrett really stood out. My first night was difficult as I couldn't catch my breath and the oxygen tube to my nose did not seem to help. I can't remember at this time what it was called, but Dan set me up with a mask system that included moisture and pulled air in from the room as well as providing the doctor's recommended level of oxygen. I was finally able to breathe with this, which was not only a great relief physically, but also calmed my nerves so that I could rest. One thing that stood out was that while he worked with me, he explained everything he was doing and how it should work, keeping my mind occupied. This comforted me (no matter how many times I go through it, it is still very scary not to be able to breathe without fighting for each breath) and calmed both my respiration and my emotions. When I was able, he introduced me to exercises to open and strengthen my lungs. As he did this he made sure that my thoughts and feelings were heard and validated. Alicia's manner was similar and each time she worked with me she also was able to put me at ease with her calm, engaging way of providing information about what was going on with my breathing and oxygen levels. Her nurturing manner cultivated a level of comfort that, again, was so welcome in the hospital setting. Garrett first helped out in the ER, and I was impressed with his precision when he tested my level of blood gasses. His focus and ability to hit just the right spot made for a pain free experience. All of the respiratory staff did good work as they took me through my breathing treatments and exercises, but these three really stood out to me as demonstrating excellence. I found the nursing staff to be top notch, and all were knowledgeable, caring and efficient. Yet Mariah sticks with me as being extra attentive and compassionate. When dealing with other issues on the floor she made sure that I was informed by other staff members if there would be any delays or changes in my care. With her, I felt that I was on top of what was happening in my day-to-day routine as an inpatient. It was obvious that all of the folks mentioned above take their positions very seriously and are dedicated to going over and above to care for others. As I said before, everyone I encountered on the Cameron staff was wonderful. I just wanted to make it known that the ones mentioned above really stand out and rank above excellent.

I had come in for pre op screening, was sent to ER for low hemoglobin. After going to restroom, none of my monitor was re attached, B/P , O2 finger monitor not replaced, nurse call button mot given to me. Been here since 1pm and its now 3:15. Blood was drawn at initial entry. PA stared it was his first day and he would be taking care of us, said he needed a stool sample, did it with a gloved finger in rectum. Was told later that it wasn't a recommended way to get a sample due to false positives...was told getting a blood transfusion and it was ordered...after waiting a cpl more hours I finally asked when transfusion would be given. RN in charge of us stated that she was waiting for the PA to sign order. She checked and he hadn't even gotten blood type yet alone ordered the blood as obviously he couldn't because he didn't know what type to order...by this time we are ready to get out of this place, I don't understand how its still in business. Short staffed, call button doesnt get answered if they do its a very long wait. Call button not given back when returned to room, wasn't hooked back up to heart monitor, or oxygen finger monitor. Monitor beeped continually with no one checking it...when I asked if I could give mom one of her pain pills he said of course. I put call button on for water, no one came, I saw RN and asked for water so I could give mom a pain pill. She said oh you can't give pain meds even if its the patient prescribed meds they have to get it from the hospital pharmacy, she asked who said I could do that, I told her and she wasn't happy said that is something they never do. It was the most unreal experience I've ever had at a hospital. Their are quality caring people there that are understaffed. And there are people there who should not even be working there. Mother was admitted after nurse talked us into staying. We did have a good male nurse on 5th floor that night. Had a good CAT scan tech that night, accommodating to 87 yr old mother. Day shift nurse wasn't bad, but stretched thin. Do not feel safe here afraid gor colonoscopy, endoscopy ordered for next day....Dr jas good reviews but if you look on Google so did the hospital, praying for a good outcome without sny complications.

My experience is the ER when I first arrived was great but fell short fast once I got up to Labor & Delivery. Once in my gown, a nurse came into my room stating they were going to send me back downstairs to ER and that I should have never came up there (couldn't tell you the nurse's name because she never once told me it). That's when I mentioned that the ER nurse had called they gave the okay to come up to which she responded "of course they did" and rolled her eyes. As if that wasn't awesome enough, once she left the room I heard her ask the other staff if I had walked upstairs or taken a wheelchair--- walked--- "I told you she's fine". The whole experience was horrific and I am not looking forward to giving birth there in the next couple weeks. Sad that they treat expecting mother's in such a manner during such a vulnerable time.

We used to use this facility for routine outpatient blood and urine testing. It was convenient and…read morethe staff were great. They have recently stopped offering outpatient testing. They have outsourced to Labcorp. There is only one Labcorp facility that has any hours outside of regular business hours. That facility did not appear to be open 20 minutes after their scheduled opening time on Saturday. The paper you asked staff to supply to patients says that this decision "will enhance patient care." It has done exactly the opposite. Because of the familiarity we had by regularly using your hospital for routine things, it made us more inclined to use your hospital for urgent issues. I don't know what was driving this decision. If you are trying to be like Parkview, please stop. The one thing you have going for you is that you are not Parkview.
