Helena Regional Medical Center

"I hope Helena Regional Medical Center is ready for a lawsuit because they are getting what they deserve. On my last visit before the doctor even saw me he had already made up his mind I was just dehydrated. The doctor treated me like a worthless piece of crap, belittling me and calling someone on the phone talking about me while I could hear, stating he had me on an IV and would release me soon. I forced him to run tests he didn't want to run and then he came back saying nothing was found. 2 weeks later I saw a GI doctor had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done 2 weeks after that intial visit and low and behold I had a laundry list of issues in my GI that were making me sick! Prior to that ER visit I came in with uncontrolled high blood pressure. 165/106, I was rudely interrogated by the nurse, hooked up to a heart monitor and left alone in the room for nearly 2 hrs. No one checked on me, no doctor came and all I heard was who wants what for lunch. I left without being seen. I had 2 other similar visits being told nothing was wrong with me and I would be seen later in Littlerock to find out there was something seriously wrong. I have refused to pay them my copays because they don't deserve a penny. the doctors act like pompous know it alls who are better than everyone, yet they fail to treat anyone not only medically but with dignity like they took an oath to do."

"The past few weeks I've been going in and out of this hospital because I've been having problems with my bowels. Came here last night for help because I couldn't use the bathroom at all and I was in the er from 9pm-1am WAITING FOR HELP. MD Christopher McDaniel got cocky with me and I returned the energy because I literally need help so he went over to help the white man get everything he needs and told the women doctors to help me. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO HERE ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE BLACK. SHUT THIS HOSPITAL DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO GIVE A STAR THIS HOSPITAL DOESN'T DESERVE ANY STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Over a decade ago, my mom went in for complications with eating. The hospital kept pushing her appointment dates later and later, until her complications gotten worse. Then when they finally admitted her in, they punctured her lungs using a feeding tube...not once, but twice. And they claimed they couldn't find what the issue was. So they called me and my stepdad to come back in for her final moments because of that. It was hard to see my mother in that state(almost near death), and me being not even 21 yet... I'm 35 now. So, later that night, luckily they found the issue and sent my mother to Memphis."

"Charged me 1200 to ask me 3 question and checked my blood pressure and had 40$ that I missed and was sent to a debt collector without notification. This hospital has horrible medical practices and in my opinion is a scam. Its hard to find someone with a good review of this place."

"Helena and Forrest City hospitals are both terrible. Went in for breathing problems, was treated like dirt. The doctors they hire are no good, can't even read an x-ray, give correct diagnoses, give tests results. They all sit around at the desk playing the whole time. They hire the worst doctors with low ratings. Both places should be shut down ."
