Punxsutawney Area Hospital

everyone is very nice there, I've never had any problems

My wife had an arterial ultrasound done on her legs. It took two hours to do what should have only taken forty-five minutes. The technicians said they had "new software" and it was obvious they hadn't been properly trained. It's rather disappointing to find the personnel providing care haven't been properly trained on the equipment they are using to do important medical tests.

I like this hospital,, Everytime I've ever been inpatient or out patient they have treated me with the up most respect,, and had good bedside manner....

HAD TO STAY IN HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS, ALL OF THE STAFF WAS AWESOME! Wonderful nurses!!!! Everyone who came to my room were very friendly, kind and always asked me if I needed any thing, A snack, extra blanket, if I needed help getting out of bed. I was treated like a queen. Every shift came to my room and wanted to know how I felt, if there was anything I needed, I always had fresh water too. It was awesome. The care was more than I expected. WHAT A WONDERFUL HOSPITAL, DOCTORS AND STAFF.

My brother had a partial hip replacement at Punxie Hospital in Sept. 2017. We moved him to Pittsburgh so he could be closer to family and his hip consistently hurt to the point where he couldn't walk much. Thinking he was being overly dramatic about the pain, I ignored it for a while but then decided to take him to a very reputable Pittsburgh bone and joint center. After a new total hip replacement in Pittsburgh, his surgeon actually asked me who the doctor was who did his previous surgery. He said the implant was completely loose in the femur and they used very cheap material. As a result of him not using it much, his bone had turned to sponge. I think he was appalled that a surgeon could do such a bad job. He said they probably don't do many hips. If you are considering a hip replacement or need an emergency one, find a different hospital. This is NOT the place to have it replaced.
