Baptist Medical Center - Attala

"this hospital needs to be only a memorial, everyone and everything here is incompetent. i went here for a concussion, didn't run any tests and only gave me ibruprofen. then had the nerve to send me a $800 bill. REALLY!!!"

"If I could give -1 stars I would! I called to try and make an appointment!! So unprofessional! First off answered the phone as “HELLO!!!!” Instead of stating hospital name and how may I help you?” Secondly hung up! I’m thinking it was a mistake so I called back and the heifer answered and hung up in my my face yet again! All I could hear was laughing and talking in the background! I had a good mind to drive up there and get names to report the individual but this will suffice!!"

"Very rude staff unfortunately. My step mother is a patient here and is afraid to get out of bed because day shift won’t put her back in bed within a reasonable time. I went to the nurses station to ask for water and the nurse Erica ignored me despite me being the only patron at the desk and no other staff member around. She had a very bad disposition. I tried to lighten the moment with small chit chat by asking what their nurse patient nurse ratio was and she told me she didn’t know then followed it with “you asked for ice and water, didn’t you?” She filled the pitcher with ice but when I asked if the water was changed she told me that it gets changed daily and would not pour fresh. Very unfortunate for patients when they are sick and there only because they need help."

"Excellent emergency room staff. Dr. Brady Richardson was on call. Great attention to my issue. Quite efficient and thorough, and a great sense of humor to lighten the mood. Helpful, caring nurses. Great all around treatment"

"My Father is a resident of the Mississippi Veteran's Home and was recently admitted to Montfort Jones Memorial Hospital with Pneumonia. He is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's, so his care is very important to my brothers and I. We have had many experiences with hospitals in Newton and Meridian, but the care we have received here at Montfort Jones is superb. The facility is wonderful, and the staff are very professional, friendly and focused on providing the best care possible. Particular standouts were Nurses Samantha and Jessica, Respiratory Therapist Ronnie, and Dr. Carter. My family will rest more comfortably knowing that such a marvelous facility is this close to the Veteran's Home and that our Daddy will receive excellent care, should he return."
