Gateway Medical Center: "Not only is the service bad it is insanely over priced!!
Over $4000 for a ct scan?
Then a bill from a radiologist
Then a bill from a crap Doctor who spent may be ten minutes with me only to tell me what I already knew, then has the nerve to charge me almost $1600 bucks!
I'm going to fight these crazy bills!
This hospital is the very reason the health care in the United States is so messed up!!
Take the drive to Skyline in Nashville" - Jeff

Gateway Medical Center: "This emergency room is the worst I have ever seen. The staff could not care less about helping you. My wife has been sitting here in terrible pain and throwing up for 3 hours. I've been sitting here watching the lady at the check-in desk. She treats everyone like they are stupid and like they are a huge bother to her. It's almost unbelievable how this place is managed. You would be better off driving all the way to a Nashville ER. I never write reviews but this place really sucks. DO NOT GO TO GATEWAY HOSPITAL. " - Chad
