Forrest General Hospital: "My husband, daughter and I were involved in an accident. I came to Forrest General Hospital a few days later because I very dizzy and could not focus or stand up. The staff and doctors were very friendly and helpful. I now work at Forrest General Hospital since then and this is the friendliest hospital I ever been to. All my experiences at Forrest General Hospital have always been pleasant. I trust the staff here to take care of everyone and they are always willing to pray with you before a procedure. God bless every person who comes here, God please help the staff to the strength and courage to provide the care that each person needs. Amen. " - Tiffany

Singing River Hospital: "I brought my husband to the emergency room because he had got something in his eye. That was a big mistake. We have been waiting here 5 hours and still haven't been seen by anybody. I'm sitting here writing this review. The staff here are so incredibly rude I can't believe they are allowed to treat people in such a manor. The desk clerk spends all of her time on her cell phone and gets a smart mouth with anybody who asks a question. This will be my last visit to this place ever!" - Jessica

Singing River Hospital: "My wife is a cancer patient at Ocean Springs Cancer Center.So we are familiar with the hospital and have used it and the ER in the past. But this afternoon my wife went via ambulance to O.S ER. When I got there at 2:45pm she was in a room but I had to wait 30 minutes to go back. Here’s where things go south. We sat in an exam room 2 hrs. and 45 minutes only the girl doing X-rays darkened our door when she found out my wife couldn’t stand she said I’ll be right back never to be seen again. All that time my wife was in excruciating pain I finally found her nurse to see what was going on and try to get wife something for pain never to see her again either. So I found a wheelchair and loaded her up and left and as a finger to them I left their wheelchair in the parking lot. I can’t wait to tell her Cancer Dr. what went down. Goons be some hell to pay …" - Michael
