St Claire Regional Medical Center

While the staff HAS saved my life several times, there's sometimes a severe lack of communication between doctor and patient. Getting information on symptoms caused by the medications is like pulling teeth, ED normally has extensive wait periods even with moderate to severe health issues and few patients. If there were a better hospital closer, I would recommend that first. Unfortunately, the better hospitals are up to an hour drive away and most need help right away.

They often have student doctors as their practicing staff. Many times, even though they are UK students, lack of knowledge and incorrect diagnoses is considered their training. Nurses are much more knowledgeable than the ED staff. Phlebotomists regularly blow veins.

The specialists are normally really great at what they do, but often takes an extensive amount of time to provide care.

I was in this hospital for eight days and I thought the nursing care was great.

My experience at st. Claire was fine didnt have problem with anything. But trying to pay them off is the worst part i cannot get them to send me a bill anymore! Its crazy why wouldnt you want someone to pay off their hospital debt. But no i call they pull up the account i say i would like to set up a payment plan and they say well it looks like its about to go to a collection agency you need to make a payement asap. I pay over the phone and still never get a bill.

This hospital has some of the poorest caring staff you will ever encounter, My grandma has to go to this hospital on a monthly basis and they always put here in a dirty room, She sits there for hours before they even come in and care for her, Tonight was the last draw!! She went in because she had pneumonia again because of her heart failure and she sat there for a full 14 hours without any medicine of breathing treatments, We had to call and threaten them with legal action to get something done. It was only when we told them we was getting a lawyer that they finally brought her in some medicine she needed, she cant even talk her lungs are so bad. I swear if my grandma dies in this hospital for poor care I will sue you into the stone age. mark my words!

Came to the St.Claire with a friend who was vomiting and having chest pain. The check-in staff couldn't hear well, looked annoyed at her being sick, and had a rude attitude. Afterwards we were sent back into the ER with her, the staff was nice but misdiagnosed her with DIABETES. She complained about chest pain multiple times and was ignored until the second doctor came in.

After being moved to the 3rd floor, the room was super cold. One half of the staff that was taking care of her was friendly and the other half looked annoyed. Her IV bag would become empty and the system would beep for 5 to 6 minutes. It was a strange and mostly upsetting experience.
