Uniontown Hospital: "Yesterday in ER with brother I had worst experience ever here.My mom was an RN here for 37 years ????. She'd be rolling in her grave now with what a band aid station it has become. For 3rd time my brother was here yesterday with issues of not being able to pass urine or bm.He had severe chest and back pain.He had lost 60 lbs in last 3 months. They continued to do yet another CT scan which detected nothing. Wouldn't do an MRI which detects everything.His insurance is not an issue. Apparently there are never any real physicians here and we were seen by a PA yet again ????. They did same basic blood tests which tested normal. No IV,no monitoring set up as they did before. I'm not a Karen ,but I have never seen a place where we were told he doesn't meet "the Criteria ",lol,for admission.I wanted him monitored at least overnight. 3rd time he was sent home.This time with leg bag Foley in which blood was seen in it.Told him to Follow-up with a Urologist which he'll have to wait 6 weeks for to be seen. Seriously, you people are nothing but a sick joke.I will be getting in touch with an attorney soon.By the time he's seen by anyone I hope it isn't too late.I only hope you all get to be on the other end and experience this living hell of a place.

Uniontown Hospital: "My family and I were in town from Arkansas for a wedding and annual visit when my 11 year old son had a severe asthma attack. The doctor on shift, Dr. Gaur,was so thorough, so understanding, and took time to fully explain our options since we had never experienced this kind of event before. She was a gem,as was the nurse. We ended up getting admitted for the night,and I CANNOT say enough positive things about the nursing staff on the second floor, particularly Janelle, and all the respiratory therapists. I could feel that they truly cares about our unique situation. Thank you all so much for helping us get through ba difficult and stressful situation." - Brooke
