Singing River Hospital: "I brought my husband to the emergency room because he had got something in his eye. That was a big mistake. We have been waiting here 5 hours and still haven't been seen by anybody. I'm sitting here writing this review. The staff here are so incredibly rude I can't believe they are allowed to treat people in such a manor. The desk clerk spends all of her time on her cell phone and gets a smart mouth with anybody who asks a question. This will be my last visit to this place ever!" - Jessica

Singing River Hospital: "My wife is a cancer patient at Ocean Springs Cancer Center.So we are familiar with the hospital and have used it and the ER in the past. But this afternoon my wife went via ambulance to O.S ER. When I got there at 2:45pm she was in a room but I had to wait 30 minutes to go back. Here’s where things go south. We sat in an exam room 2 hrs. and 45 minutes only the girl doing X-rays darkened our door when she found out my wife couldn’t stand she said I’ll be right back never to be seen again. All that time my wife was in excruciating pain I finally found her nurse to see what was going on and try to get wife something for pain never to see her again either. So I found a wheelchair and loaded her up and left and as a finger to them I left their wheelchair in the parking lot. I can’t wait to tell her Cancer Dr. what went down. Goons be some hell to pay …" - Michael

The front desk was very rude and unprofessional, so we left to Ocean springs hospital hoping that we would have a better service over there, we waiting for 4 hrs, we got there at 11pm, and we left a 3am with out been seen by a doctor, they keept on saying that we were next, my husband got there with a pain scale of 7/10 and left there with severe pain in his leg, the wait was so long and there was people that got there after us and was seen first then us. We decided to go to Biloxi Merith Health hospital my husband was in pain he needed Medical attention. If I ever have an Emergency, I know Where not to go, I would probably die in the waiting room before they can see me. " - Ana
