Clarinda Regional Health Center

Top Notch Facility and Staff! I always feel like I'm listened to and Well taken care of here. We are lucky to have this facility and these providers in our community

There is a doctor that works here; her name is Carol McIntyre. She was the doctor that delivered my sisters baby. My sister was scheduled to be induced and went in for her appointment, she was told the process would be slow and she probably wouldn’t give birth until the next day. They started her on Petosin and after a few hours, my sister had only dialated about a cm. Dr. McIntyre came in the room and broke my sisters water after only a few hours after arriving and starting the petosin. This did not speed up the process, instead it caused my nephews heart rate to drop every time she would have a contraction because the doctor chose to break her water too soon. My sister was sent in for an emergency c-section where the anesthesiologist was going to administer medication that my sister is allergic, to to put her under, because Dr. McIntyre had not noted in my sisters chart that general anesthesia is a deadly allergy in our family. Luckily my sister mentioned to the anesthesiologist that she was allergic to it before she could administer it. The anesthesiologist was furious that it wasn’t in her chart because she was about to give her something that would have killed her and/or her baby. The anesthesiologist reported Dr. McIntyre to the board and she was terminated. She now works at this hospital. Negligence at its finest. My sister opted not to sue at that point because she’s been fired and she just wanted to move on, but she should be glad my sister didn’t die because I would have sued and she would have never worked on another patient in her life. I recommend you and your loved ones find a different doctor...cause next time she might actually kill that person or their baby.

Appears the healthcare oath only apply to certain patients, at least from most of the providers. Better off gasing up and making the trip if you don't know any on duty staff, so you can get treatment for issues at hand. Otherwise be prepared to be discharged after wasting your time in the same, if not worst condition, with a high bill for no care at all. Or the same method of treatment that lead you there in the first place.

My mother has been in the hospital this week and I've been so happy with her stay. They have all been so nice and easy to work with. They have been so thorough in her cares and everyone seems to have my mom's interest at heart.

My husband had his rotator cuff repaired in September, this was hands down the best care he has every received during any of his surgeries. From admissions to postop care, the staff are friendly and truly put him at ease and kept him informed. It was also so convenient to receive this care so close to home! No travel, no extra stress.
