Patient Experiences

✅ Summary of Positive Reviews

There are no positive reviews to summarize from the provided data.

❌ Summary of Negative Reviews

The negative reviews highlight significant issues with the hospital´s emergency services, including extremely long wait times and a lack of empathy from the staff. Patients describe experiences of waiting upwards of 9 hours in the emergency room under severe pain, with some witnessing extremely poor conditions like uncleaned vomit and a general indifference from the hospital staff. Criticism is also directed at the hospital´s visitor policies, which were reportedly too strict and prevented families from seeing their loved ones during significant moments. Additionally, there were reports of inadequate infrastructure, such as the hospital´s flooded parking lot that has gone unimproved for years. Overall, these reviews portray a picture of substandard patient care and administrative inefficiency.
