Appleton Medical Center

My last two children, I had them at the Neenah hospital and I wished I would have went there. Seeing that AMC was closer to home and they had good reviews, I decided to go with AMC to give birth. My experience with them was horrible. They do not support families in welcoming the birth of a child and bonding of older siblings with newborn. It was frown upon and we got yelled at many times for having older siblings come and enjoy the arrival of their new sister. In addition, I was told I cannot use a breast pump to try to pump milk for my newborn. It was either formula or straight breast milk. Given that I couldnt produce milk right away due to a c-section, I wanted a pump to get the milk going for my newborn but in the meantime feed her formula. I was told they can't do that. So basically, it was either my child starve until I could get a drop going from my breast, or feed her formula since the staff refused to give me a breast pump. Very disappointed in all!! I would definitely make the drive to neenah next time if I ever decided to have another child.

Had the worst experience of my life here both nursing staff and docters were very rude and treated me with no respect. I felt very judged and like my problems didn't matter I would not recomend going here if you are seriously ill because they will not give you the care you need. Also I could over hear nursing staff in the other room making fun of me and saying a lot of mean hurtful things. THIS HOSPITAL IS ONE OF THE MOST UNPROSSIONAL HOSPITALS THERE IS. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD.

My husband was recently treated for heart irregularity. He was treated well from the moment the ambulance arrived at our door. When patients receive kind treatment from medical staff—better communication, an effort to get to know them as people—they have less anxiety and pain and shorter hospital stays, Stanford’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education shows. Doctors and nurses, in turn, feel more engaged and less exhausted. We found the care at AMC to be excellent.

Becky from the 7th floor did an absolute amaing job taking care of me! She was so kind, nice, and very informative. She was there when I needed help with something and had great knowledge in what she does. Can't thank her enough for her help! I appreciated it so much, I was very lucky to have her as my nurse!

I took our 3 year old son into the ER because his bowel movements were green, mucous and like water and stringy like spinach. He curled up in a ball on the floor and was screaming and crying clutching at his stomach and private area. The staff was told numerous times that our son is autistic and terrified of the doctor. They sent in a paramedic to draw blood. Eventually there were 5 people in there trying to draw blood and pinning him down. They wrapped him up in a swaddle. He was screaming, kicking and saying done. His vein rolled. They were told to stop and they still wanted to try again. The catheter did not happen. After all of this they told me if I took him it could possibly lead to legal action against me. They traumatized my child. If anything I should take legal action against them. They treated him like an animal. I will not take any action against them. They did hurt our son though. Keep that in mind when u take your own child in. Thank u.
