Tanner Medical Center – Carrollton

The Emergency Department used to be a pretty great place for care. The doctors in there are still great. Other departments working in there have very friendly and helpful staff. The majority of the ER nursing staff is lazy, rude, dramatic, and uncaring. There are only a few good and caring nursing staff in ER anymore, so pray you get those few wonderful people.

I went to the Tanner Lab last week for blood work. The technician, though nice, was a bit heavy handed. She stuck my left arm and missed the vein. I don't know what she hit, but pain shot from my arm to my hand. It did not bleed, and I thought everything was fine. Later that day, however, things changed. I now have a weird discomfort and pain in that arm; it has been a week with no change for the better. I tried calling to speak with the Lab Manager and, of course, was unable to. Better training is definitely in order; I think this technician was probably new and inexperienced. I have been getting blood work done since I was a child, and I have never in my life had an experience like this. Needless to say, I will not be using Tanner lab in the future.

I brought my daughter in for an EKG today. The registration lady's first questions were "Are you a foster mom?" No. "Did you adopt them?" No. "So you are an adoption mom?" No they are my biological children. I'm not really getting what this had to do with registration today. I have had my children in Tanner before at that hospital before and never been asked that before. It was uncalled for. Later she said your daughters are beautiful-I guess to make amends. I think I said thank you, but I was ticked from the previous questions. It's 2019 not 1950. For her to be one of the first impressions of Tanner, it was disappointing to say the least. Radiology was great, no problems there.

My wife was in this hospital and the doctors and the nurses treated her with the upmost respect and made sure she was fully treated and took care of before she was discharged, I give this hospital 10 stars and in my opinion this is the best hospital in the 100 mile area..... where from Alabama, so that should say it alll

I went to see a family member that was there. The staff was friendly and my experience was good.
