Dia salir of people donr make it glad I went and did not wait any longer in the pics 2 diffrent rests only hrs apart

Very professional staff. Excellent service.

Approx. 1.5 hours before my surgery, I was contacted by an employee of the hospital wanting every penny of money up front before they would move forward with surgery that had been scheduled for over a week. Problem was (in addition to the "money grubbing" philosophy) that the figure was wrong. After several tries we came to an agreed upon amount that was closer to the actual amount owed (but still not accurate). If we hadn't "negotiated" for a more reasonable and accurate price, MMC would have collected thousands more than we owed.

When you add up, roughly, the number of patients going through that hospital on an annual basis, considering all the thousands of dollars they may have overpaid, it makes you scratch your head and go: "hmmmm."

Great hospital...but recently visited the ER with my sick aunt. She was treated and discharged from ER around 10:00 PM. I was parked in the front parking lot - had to pick her up in the ER back parking lot. The front doors to the hospital are locked at 9:00 PM. Instructions posted on door to exit thru ER after 9:00 PM. Very nerve-racking to walk around the dark side of a hospital with two purses, jewelry, etc. Hospital needs to post a way for someone to call a guard to walk them to their car after hours. just add an extension or something! Remember safety!
