Diley Ridge Medical Center: "This hospital nearly killed me. The Dr never came into the room. I worked with a PA the entire time. Clinically I had acute appendicitis and I was being prepared for transfer until the misread CT came back saying I had a ruptured ovarian cyst. My appendix ruptured and a week and a half later after being seen at a real hospital (OSU) they knew something was wrong and were bound and determined to get to the bottom of it. My appendix had ruptured and it almost killed me. A year and a half later, I am still dealing with complications. I will NEVER return and recommend no one else goes here in an emergency. " - Chelsea

Diley Ridge Medical Center: "I brought my husband to your facility and expected a quick and efficient vist. Instead I got to wait for about 2 hours to be called back to a room and then an additional hour and twenty minutes and still counting for a nurse, just a nurse to come see my husband. This has been the worst experience I have ever had at a medical establishment. " - Brooke
