Providence Medford Medical Center: "Went to Prov.ER on a Thursday around 1am. Waited for 4 hours with only 3 people ahead of me and ended up leaving unseen at 5:15am. Ridiculous is an understatement . 1 Dr in the ER is obviously not enough. The girls at the check in were rude and need kindness classes. I will never go back to prov for anything ever again. Not the first bad experience but def my last . " - K.
