I have been so impressed with PDH ({Plumas District Hospital)! Everyone from the staff answering phones to the clinic staff, nurses, and Doctors that have cared for me are a real blessing to our community! I am older and as a senior person often I have gone for care through the emergency where the check in was efficient, admitted with a Nurse right there, the Doctor was knowledgeable and talked me through the tests he was ordering. Lab draw was perfect t as was IV placement (my veins aren't easy but my nurse was skilled and kind. X-Ray was perfect and the testing results given to my ER Doctor, my nurse was kind and NG tube placed with care. I was admitted as an inpatient for 5 days for the issue I had to resolve. The care I received was kind,explanations for care given were clear, and they (all shifts, every nurse) showed care, consideration, and expertise that I have not received at other hospitals. (Yes, I have issues that have required medical care at bigger hospitals when visiting bigger cities. Plus I worked in healthcare for over 30 years. So I know wonderful care when I see it. I am so happy to have been cared for by such a wonderful staff. Thanks to everyone! I do recommend Plumas District Hospital highly! If you're needing care just go or call for an appointment and start the conversation by saying "I need your help"and Thank You! They work hard and I'm happy to give this review. I am so Grateful! read more

Plumas District Hospital has a reputation around town for its lack of knowledgable doctors and poor service (Unless you know someone on the board). Additionally some of their top nurses are vocal anti-vaccination supporters and deny the severity of COVID-19. My wife and I have had numerous bad experiences. My wife spent months seeing several different doctors for severe neck pain, only to be told they didn't know what was wrong with her. She had x-rays done and was told there was nothing they could see causing the pain. The suggestion they offered was physical therapy. When we asked about a chiropractor, we were told to see their physical therapist instead. Multiple sessions with the PDH physical therapist didn't help. My wife decided to see a chiropractor against the recommendation of PDH and was immediately told she had bulging discs in her neck. It took him just a few minutes of looks at the x-rays to find the problem. So a chiropractor was able to diagnose and alleviate her neck pain but multiple doctors from Plumas District Hospital could not, both viewing the same x-rays. That gives me very little confidence in their medical abilities. On another occasion, my wife was told by a surgeon at the hospital; she would likely need her gall bladder removed because she was having frequent nausea and stomach pain. It turned out to be a gluten intolerance after getting a second opinion. I will say most of the ER doctors and nurses do a fantastic job. But unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the incredibly low quality of service received from the other doctors. I hope PDH can turn around and start providing quality medical service, but after experiencing the same problems after a decade of going there, I have little faith. read more

Dr. Sipherd, at the ER figured out my under medication being given to me by br Stoll was causing a major issue with me. It makes a difference when a Dr. Sees and hears you instead of faking it. Elder abuse is what the clinic is best at not medical attention. No adherence to the hypocrite oath. WHAT GIVES AT EPHC ??? Be very careful use caution at this facility it could mean your LIFE...PS dr Stoll doesn't deserve any stars other than -10 read more

This five star rating that I'm giving is not for the hospital it is for the best surgeon, Dr. Ben Hunt, his surgical staff, and the great nurses that took care of me. I felt very much at home with them. As for the hospital , I feel they could do a lot better. The rooms should be supplied with equipment that works so the nurses don't get frustrated. As for billing, I'll have to let you know at a later date. The bill, at least, did not beat me home. read more

Plumas District Hospital is no longer a viable option for health care within the community. I inquired about a rabies shot for my daughter (June 25, 2023), who had been bitten by a bat, and they turned her away even though the ER contact person indicated that they possessed the vaccine in house. She claimed that they could not provide services since "they did not have her records" and referred me to Public Health. On a Sunday, no less! I agreed to provide all necessary information, and asked to speak to her supervisor, but to no avail. Not only did she refuse to connect me to her supervising doctor, she even refused to provide his or her name. After years of financial bailouts, one might expect that this organization would get its act together, but it is clear to me now that their failure is the direct result of incompetence and lack of concern for their patients--and no amount of money will change the culture of an organization this badly broken. read more

My dad suffered a medical event last Saturday afternoon. I took him to ER at Plumas District Hospital. He was treated there for most of the day before they ultimately transported him to a specialist in Reno. While he was at PDH I witnessed the staff treat him with respect, dignity and kindness. Cheryl in ER answered all of our questions and explained in detail the tests they were running and medications they were administering. The next day my dad mentioned to me that he has never received better care than that. it was apparent to us that the PDH staff was not just doing a job or performing a task. But instead, they truly care. Great job PDH! read more

Avoid at all costs. Go to Truckee. Or Portola. PDH has been downright dangerous. Rude. Condescending. They LIE. Their ER physicians are atrocious at BEST. Inept to say the least. Unprofessional. I overheard staff mocking a BABY. They violate HIPAA, are violent and aggressive. They hurt me and kicked me out and said I refused medical care. I did not. My son had to carry me out in his arms. My legs were still paralyzed. They offered no help. It was a snowstorm outside. They gave me Haldol against my will. Denied I had a seizure. My son witnessed it. Accused me of biting my tongue ON PURPOSE. The condescending doctor yelled at my son for questioning a lab. I later found out I had 5 fractured vertebrae. The ER is referred to as "the gauntlet" by many. They are rarely able to get blood whereas Truckee gets it first try. Many call it the Flintstone hospital. Truly bottom of the barrel, inept staff minus a few who do their best. No words can describe the trauma they have caused my son and I. In a word, inhumane. read more

I brought my son here for a football injury and the ER staff was friendly and efficient. The wait time was consistent with quality care and we were not there very long. If you're sick or injured, come here and get fixed up! A big thank you to the ER staff, the radiologist, and Dr. Chew for your service and kindness. read more

Quincy hospital really sucks. I know you have a hard occupation but it's been three hours I think you could do better, or I can do better by going home and sitting in pain for hours like I am at the emergency room. Thought they called it the emergency for emergency reasons.. Then the doctor and nurse that were mine I think? Lie right to my face.. I'll never go to Quincy hospital again. It took three hours and I was seen for less than ten mins, then took and hour and a half to discharge me. Never again. read more

We are very fortunate to have this facility in our community. Many knowledgeable medical practitioners and the excellent nursing staff, emergency room staff, the lab, the radiology unit and more are ready for the moment they are needed. The only OB hospital in the area is ready to deliver future generations. Many lives have been saved at PDH. Thank you to doctors, nurses, clerical staff and each one who provides a welcoming and excellent environment for those in need of medical assistance. read more

This hospital is broke. They cannot attract new, good Drs. They are well known for over billing. If you are on Medi-Cal you can be sure your care will sub standard due to the fact that Medi-Cal does not pay enough to profit. The Drs. are complacent in the fact that they can provide their sub standard care as the closest other hospital is 30 miles away and in winter, travel can be very dangerous. People of lesser income are stuck with them and have no other options. If you are not well off, with excellent health coverage, or, are not of prominent status, do not come here. read more

Insult to Injury. First, they charged 500% more than Medical Bluebook for two simple x-rays; knee & shoulder($614 vs. $129) then suggest an MRI as it looks like ACL injury to knee, yet doctor first prescribes physical therapy. Insurance won't authorize the MRI before Physical Therapy regimen and doctor won't get on call with insurer to modify RX. BTW- their estimate for MRI was $2300; we used another provider for $400 and we paid cash as our insurer would not budge due to the doctor's RX. read more

Medical aspect of hospital is adequate for a rural facility, but watch the bill closely, mistakes are frequently made. I will pay a bill, then I will get another bill a few months later for the same visit, and have to spend my time getting it sorted out. This has happened multiple times in the years I have lived here. The staff are friendly and it does eventually get sorted out but it is frustrating. read more

Anyone who will be having a baby there please I beg you to please consider Truckee or susanville anywhere but this nightmare of a hospital!! Over a year ago I had my son there via C-section I can't even begin to tell you what a nightmare it was! I was denied pain meds after being cut open for almost 48 hours only given Tylenol and Benadryl! Also I was given a Cath with out any numbing agents or anything which maybe protocol but hurt so bad I was only given the lowest amount of pain meds after I flipped out and a nice on call surgeon Dr.jensen noticed they were giving me way too much Tylenol and said they were going to overdose me on Tylenol. The worst doctor on is dr.barnes she is super judgemental and will will find any reason to have your child taken from you she is on call for Dr.schad I really like dr.schad he's the one who delivered my baby but unfortunately he had to leave for an emergency and that's when I met the most ugliest excuse for an human being named Dr.barnes she had my baby care flighted to Sacramento for "withdraw" lol I tested clean in my pre-op blood test as well as when my child was born and he tested clean as well. Dr.schad said himself " I don't believe that the baby had to be care flighted at all if I was there we could of handled it". I have been clean from opiate's for almost 9 years and Dr. Barnes treated me as if I was still using she even requested for another drug test to be done right before I left I said you have had 2 now I'm leaving. She took my baby because of how he was cooiing she said this wasn't normal although the nurse that delivered him kept commenting on how cute it was that he was cooiing so young and guess what? He's a year and two months and still coos like that. This dr.barnes called CPS on me and tried to have my baby taken she had no leg to stand on except for her judgemental one. After all was said and done CPS knew I wasn't a drug addict and had been clean! Please don't let this happen to you or anyone you know to have your baby rip from your arms, be accused of using drugs and have CPS called on you all because of your past is utterly rediculous! read more

I've never been treated with such rudeness or seen a lack of compassion. The staff in overly concerned with their personal lives. Every time a fresh face appears that is happy and attentive, they are let go as they don't fit in with the old fogey staff. I recommend Portola. read more

I've lived most of my life in a small rural community that had one small hospital to serve the entire valley area; I moved to Quincy when our hospital closed. I trust Plumas District Hospital to be equally as Patient motivated as Indian Valley Hospital was, and I've found that it is. I have no problems with the service I receive because while it's a very busy place, it's also very sensitive to patient needs. I have no essential complaints. read more

Had to spend 6 days in this hospital and all the staff was great. The building is old and needs to be update or replaced.

I was visiting Quincy for a swim meet and needed 11 stitches in my eyebrow and across my eyelid. I was concerned about going to a small hospital for stitches on my face. I needn't have worried. Dr. Satterfield did an awesome job stitching me up. When I had them removed the doctor and nurse commented on how great a job Dr. Satterfield did. I would highly recommend Dr. Satterfield if you need stitches. read more
