Band aid factory at best, over 2 hours for them to do bloodwork and no MRI machine? How on earth are they still in business as other than a walk in clinic? Logan hospital is just as bad. Do I need to go out of state to competent medical care?

Only reason for one star is it won’t let me post zero stars. Dr.Eels tried to tell us my daughter had a tick bite and had neurological issues when we took her because of a sprained ankle. Tried sending us to Charleston and after it took 4 hours to do 3 x rays we left. The nurse then told my wife we were denying my daughter care and if it was her child she’d take her to Charleston after we had done told them we would take her to her regular pediatrician only reason for goin there was it was a Sunday. The nursing staff were asleep at desks and to busy eating to care for us. We were the only people in the ER and it took 4 hours and all they done was 3 X-rays that’s piss poor and I’ll never go back.

Samantha in ER IS THE GOAT. ALWAYS SMILING AND DELIVERING MEDICAL CARE WITH

The people at the hospital were quite kind, however the service and quality of experience was unsatisfactory. I went in with my father following an ATV accident while we were out of town and he received a chest x-ray and was informed he had not broken anything. A few days later my mom rushes him to the ER when we are back home, and further scans revealed he broke 5 ribs. Service also felt quite slow for 9:00 o’clock at night but I’m not sure who else they might have been attending to.

The people were kind but the service was insufficient

Not great but not bad as well. I have had bad and good experiences with doctors in that hospital BUT overall the experience has been good and it is where my primary care doctor is at and he seems to be alright as he calls me with blood work and when he forgot to refill a prescription he was fast in responding and refilling it.

Dr. Cowans was unprofessional in his deliverance of the medical care he provided.
He was sloppy, came into the room and plopped himself over the patient table. He did not read the chart before he came into the room. In the 15 minutes he was in the room he told me no less than 20 times “I don’t prescribe pain medication.” I was there on one visit to establish care for a primary care Dr(PCP) the 2nd time I had Blood Pressures running in the 150-200 and was having Headaches and blurred vision. He wanted to send me to a neurologist for B/P problems! He told me one of the medications I have been on for years “they don’t make this” he called me a liar! I had already taken the bottle in for him to look at it previously.
The staff were unprofessional in their treatment of the flow of patients. Both times they were gathered together in a room talking and laughing ignoring the patients.

The nursing care my father received in the Med/Surge department of this hospital is second to none and we have been to many hospitals of late. Thank you to all the nursing crew and the behind the scene staff members. We will always remember or positive experience.

Saturday 10/31/2020 while riding the Warrior Trail System I suffered a heart attack. This Hospital was the first choice we had.
I had phenomenal care and the staff went above and beyond to get me ready for a Life Flight out to Beckley. They immediately diagnosed and prepped me, administered pain relief medicine to stabilize me for the flight to Beckley.
I’m been told all the people from Welch to Beckley to my second Life flight to Lexington KY did everything by the book. And I’m here to give this 5 star review.

Thanks to the ER staff 10/31/2020.
