If you care about your loved ones, please do not come to this sorry excuse of a hospital. Please do not let the name fool you. Being taken over by UNC is just a political PR stunt. If you get sick in Caldwell County, you actually receive better care from the firefighters and paramedics. They are the true heroes of healthcare. The doctors and nurses at Caldwell take advantage of the citizens here because this is a poor community. Please demand that the paramedics take you to Wilkesboro, Morganton, Valdese, or Hickory.

Worst people to deal with, wife has been here twice and both times they say they cant help her cause they dont have a doctor on call. I now have to drive her to Winston to see a real doctor even when she's in so much she's throwing up. They wait til they take you in and charge you then say I'm sorry we cant help you I doctor know what's wrong and we dont have a doctor here. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from Caldwell hospital.

Had total hip replacement surgery in Sept. 17 and the surgical experience was fine. Always best to try and get out of a hospital as quick as possible so that was my goal. Nothing special about my 2 night stay. Hospital type food, I had my own room.

Staff are outstanding. Quality of care beyond outstanding.

I live out of town and have had to check status on both my elderly parents who have been admitted there in the past. In person & on the phone, staff has always been exceptional.
