Minden Medical Center: "This place is very incompetent as far as hospitalist go. Also, the town is so small that apparently if you go in as a patient with your husband, the little receptionist in x ray will be all over him. That little girl needs help. I will never go back.
Bottom line: incompetent and some staff trashy " - Colleen

Minden Medical Center: "The worse experience in my life. I was having really bad stomach pain and the doctor ordered blood work and that was it. The nurses didn’t offer an blanket nor pillow. It was very poor bedside manners. Was still in pain when I left went to there sister hospital in Arcadia and it was ????. The nurse I had was great the doctor was great you can tell she care about people. She gave me a cocktail to determine if it was my stomach hurting or something else. She ordered blood work and ordered a X-ray. She really tried to figure out what was going on with me. I will never go to Minden Medical anymore. The staff should come to Bienville medical an get some training including the doctor that seen me on 5/11/2020. Thank you. I know you are not going to do anything but you need to. The only thing the doctor was talking about was getting drunk. And how drunk he and his daughter got on Mother’s Day. And how he had fallen due to being drunk. Thank God I found someone to help me." - Barbara
