United Medical Center: "I have been to this Hospital multiple times due to it being close to my home. I have left in pain and all due to the wait being Soo long to get in the back and when your in the back it takes anyone over an hour to come in your room to even speak to you. My experience has been HORRIBLE EACH TIME.. The staff sits around talking an giggling not doing their jobs.. Lab work doesn't get properly put it. Doctors & Staff need better people skills cause they lack that as well walking around with attitudes. Overall I give this hospital a 0/0 if it was up to me. " - Iam

Washington Hospital Center: "Under staff wait time is more then posted. Been waiting to see a doctor in emergency Room for over 15 Hours. Was kicked out of emergency room for asking why it was taking so long. They replayed no ideal when would be seen they had a lot of patients. So I ask if they were understaffed. They reply by saying they had a lot of patients. So I ask would you go on record saying you don't have enough staff to accommodate patients. They got rude and kick me out of emergency room and put me back in waiting room. Been here for over 16 hours and still have not seen a doctor." - Michael

: "I am here at CNMC. It has been so far my worst nightmare. It took us almost 6.5 hour and for my toddler who has just an injury to his elbow
And just for the doctor to come and see it’s taking forever. It’s not even a specialist care that he is needing. This is very poor and unfortunately dysfunctional care they have. " - Zaka
