Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood Stories

Brownwood Regional Medical Center: "Yes, they get you in fairly quickly but then it’s a long wait to get anything done. Between everything that is done there is another long wait and then when you are told you’ll be dismissed is the longest wait! I sat and watched the doctor sit at the desk the entire time we were there. He came in and asked a few questions. Asked if we’d had an X-Ray yet. Well no, you haven’t ordered it yet! Bedside manner was lacking as well!" - Tammy
