St Lukes Magic Valley Medical Center: "Recently, my husband and I went to St Luke’s in twin falls, Idaho to visit my dying father in law. We were surprised at the insistence at the front door to provide identification before being allowed to proceed to the floor to visit the patient. Being treated like criminals in order to see a loved one in the hospital was jarring. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone looking for compassionate and competent care." - Tiffany
