Alleghany County Memorial Hospital

I was visiting Sparta from out of town. Had a small issue with my eye, and knew of no other place to turn but this ER. I was promptly admitted, and after the normal paper work and processing work, was seen by a doctor relatively quickly. Everyone that I spoke to was attentive and kind. I was treated and sent on my way. The whole process took just over an hour from walking in, to walking out.

On the day we closed on our house here in Alleghany County I also had to go to the ER. Staff was very friendly and caring. O was admitted for Fluids, Meds and Observation. They only have 6 Beds for inpatient care. They could improve on timeliness. It really should not take 1 hr to get something to drink or eat. Other than that, I had No Complaints.

The worst hospital I have ever been in. The doctors don't know what they are doing. They often times will be lazy and refuse to do proper treatments and just send you home. I feel like it is a money machine for them. Even the doctors outside of this area complain about AMH and how incompetent they are.

No wait lines in the ER!

Came in with nonstop chest spasms. Informed them I had Lyme disease. They were knowledgeable and did extensive tests to rule out heart issues and other organ issues from Lyme. They listened and took time to explain blood results. Dr. Calhoun and all the nurses, radiology and lab techs were very caring and supportive. My gallbladder may be malfunctioning so further testing recommended.
