Merit Health Natchez

This hospital has gone downhill when changed to Merit Health. The floor where outpatient surgery is located has some nice friendly staffs, emergency room and rest of facility is terrible going to Merit Health is a bad experience if have no other choice. I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone taking the risk going to that hospital. Before was a difference when had two hospitals in the area now only one which isn't any good so sad you can't get the medical treatment you need, since switching over it is one of the worst hospitals ever. Year ago my aunt was in the E.R. after car accident they didn't do chest x-ray we had to tell them while she was in lots of pain well most of them were nice in the E.R. but not like what used to be when was Regional.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! I went to the E.R for throwing up blood, numb hands, and severe dehydration. I sat in the Er room for 5 hours and heard the nurses station singing “ 5 o clock somewhere” out loud and laughing while i am in the room still nothing but someone coming to check my temp and blood pressure! Patients are not their concern which is sad! The even more sad part is that no one is reading all of these horrible reviews and doing anything about it! Merit health will pay for this one day and i can’t wait until someone puts them in their place and they get what they have been and STILL ARE doing to people who need help and care!

I really don't understand all the poor reviews of this hospital. I spent 3 days after an emergency room admittance. Yes the emergency room was a little slow but what hospital isn't. I feel I received excellent care. They may be a little understaffed with nurses and aides but again, what hospital isn't. Hospitals and doctors have their hands tied so much with today's healthcare system that you cannot always blame the institution. The only reason I did not rate it a 5 star is because of the age of the building, beds, etc. I needs a little upgrading and tlc.

Don't. Just don't. Web MD is literally a better option. Honestly, if you know a witch doctor or anyone who dabbles in holistic remedies, or even someone who has experienced and self-treated a common cold, you would be better off consulting any other entity or organization before you find yourself sitting for hours in a waiting room at this "hospital." I was sent here to have blood drawn due to the absolute non-existence of services offered by medical professionals in the area. After being admitted as a patient (why???) and waiting over three hours, someone finally showed up to complete what should have been a five minute ordeal. With hospitals like this, it's no wonder life expectancy in Mississippi ranks dead last in the US, and is a full four years lower than the national average.

Don't go to these people. They are limited on doctors. Had to go to Alexandria just to see a mastic surgeon. Merit doesn't have one. What so called regional medical center doesn't have a plastic surgeon! Really!😠
