I brought my child here because she fractured her arm. It got caught between the mattress and footboard of the bed. We took her to receive treatment they called child protective services. Also we got there September 10,2017 at 4:30 p.m they didn't treat my daughter for any pain the whole time social services were there my daughters arm was not put into a sling until 10:45 p.m. she was crying in pain the whole wait. We are also facing having our kids taken. We did not harm our child we love our children but I'm filing a lawsuit against this medical center. If your children are injured by accident don't bring them here they will call child protective services. Our daughter has a spiral fracture when I found her her arm was stuck between the baseboard and the mattress pinned and she was bent over the foot of the bed her arm was twisted and all her weight applied. I explained this to child protective services they said there is no way her arm could have been fractured from that. She didn't have a songle bruise on her body and neither does my son but they are claiming her arm was broken due to abuse. Your supposed to be a medical center but my wife had to deal with child protective services before my child was treated. Don't bring your injured children here you may lose them to CPS.
Absolultely horrible. I asked for an alternative antibiotic and was lied to stating there wasnt one. Then i was told to "put on my big girl panties and deal with it". I will never go back again. Terrible care and treates disrespectfully.
I had a wonderful experience at the ER with Catawba Valley. I did not have to wait to be seen, they followed all the precautions, all the nurses were wonderful & the doctor was great. The male nurse, Kaylor, was amazing and explained everything. A huge thank you & happy holidays to you all.
Terrible every time. I'll just die in comfort at home. Every relative and friend has had horrible experiences here. Extremely long waits. Careless doctors. I was charged 1300 for an er visit that included two roles of gauze, two ace bandages and a prescription for antibiotics. Did not clean or touch my wounds. Wrapped in gauze and sent me home badly infected. Two nurses were very concerned and wanted to do an ekg but after speaking w the doctor(realizing I had no insurance) they sent me out after 7 hours of writhing in agony. The US healthcare system is pathetic and it's extra bad in this area.
Absolutely Ridiculous! I must say that the ER has definitely died and lost its tenacity and educational efforts based upon the service that my father received on 8/28/2017. He presented to the ER with abdominal pain , fever of 101.7 , very Tachy, elevated Platelets and an elevated BP. Once I had gotten there, the was an 18ga. established in the Right AC , with labs drawn. There weren't any fluids administered or any pain meds given as well as an EKG or any type of Sepsis Protocol initiated. Im pissed right about now especially seeing a family member lying there and none of these protocols initiated. His nurse was very vague, didn't scrub in or out and only provided information about his care and procedures when we asked. The doctor then came in about 4 hours later then stated that his Gall Bladder was Gangrenous and more in likely he would need surgery. Only then after 4 hours did he order fluids in which he stated that he forgot about ordering as well as pain meds. Im telling you folks....at least do some type of education and investigation before you go to this ED. There's more to say but enough is enough. I do wish that they would be more tenacious and educate the patients fully on the whole process of their care. Good Luck and keep your eyes open.
