Merit Health Rankin

The staff was pretty friendly, but the care facility is old and run down. I'm new to MS, decent health care does not exist here. Dr.'s are rude and treat people like cattle. If I had the money I'd leave MS in a heartbeat.

After all the insurance red tape was taken care of this hospital stay could not have been any better. Dr Adam Lewis is an excellent neurosurgeon, personable, explains condition and surgery. I was in excruciating pain for 2 1/2 weeks, after surgery experiencing very little pain at all. Very pleased and blessed to be referred to him. The staff, 2nd floor nursing staff went above and beyond the call of duty taking care of me and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. The OR staff was also remarkable making me feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. All of you will forever have a special place in my heart.. Hopefully I won’t need your services again but if I do I know exactly where I want to be.. God Bless and THANKYOU!!! Sincerely, Beverly Skeen

First, the doctor showed a large amount of concern, and I'm thankful for that and he ran multiple test including X-rays to rule all the serious things out. For the nurses, I don't think anyone knew what they were doing. There was a lot of "should I do this" or "how much do you think". They were nice and trying, but I won't risk my baby's health over it. I guess, if you don't completely know what you're doing, do enough to help me get to the next hospital. I was thinking about leaving, but I didn't want to risk my baby choking on her vomit on the way to the next ER. So, the breathing treatment helped. I didn't feel a need for the Zofran. I expressed how the breathing treatment helped, but they were doing their job, so I just trusted the doctors orders. I kept all the paperwork just in case. I won't come back for anything super serious, but for simpler things, this place is fine. Just be sure to ask questions, and show concern for what you're being administered. Thank you all anyway!

I told this place I was an assigned female at birth who identifies as male. They put me in file as a male and not biologically female (this is important because of medical history). I went in for continuous diarrhea and bad symptoms and they waved me away saying it was just the flu and take dayquil and nyquil. Today I returned for a different injury and instead of being offered proper bandaging for my ankle, they said it was just a sprain and to call an MRI tech if it persisted for another week. Add in the fact that I was continuously misgendered by the staff and treated like I was wasting their time in a mostly empty ER room and you can see why I am not willing to return here. To any lgbtq+ people in the area, DO NOT come here. That goes for anyone else. I really suggest finding another clinic or emergency room.

THE worst hospital I’ve EVER went to. A roach was crawling on the seat and the security officer walked by and smooshed it then walked off leaving the bug. Not to mention we sat there for two and a half hours and never even got our temp checked. Also there were only two people in the waiting area. Wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy. Wouldn’t give them one star if I didn’t have to
