Pikeville Medical Center

If you want your family member to Die then this is the place to take them. I rate them a ZERO on doctors, hospitalist, and the House Manager John! My mother was a transfer to them she arrived on Tuesday 9-1-2020 and they did nothing! She was bleeding and needed to have surgery. The doctors did not communicate with each other the urologist Dr. Swafford said she wasn't bleeding when you could see it plain as day in the bag. We asked for a different doctor and they said they would get one. They finally did a scan on late Thursday and the same Dr came in that we said we didn't want to see anymore. Told her she needed surgery and would have it Friday. They stopped her food and drink at midnight for the surgery. They didn't come in until Friday evening and told her the Dr had a family emergency on a holiday weekend and wouldn't be back till Tuesday. They said they would transfer her out. We waited and waited and still nothing. Around 8:30pm they told us she was accepted at another hospital and would be transferred the next morning. She sat all day and her blood was down to a 7.7 from a 12 when she arrived and we couldn't find out anything. They wouldn't give her a blood transfusion even though she needed it. I raised my voice and asked for a higher up person. I spoke to John and he told me that he couldn't tell me anything even though I was on her papers for anything I need to know. He hung up on me. She did not get transferred until 9-5- 2020 at 10:00pm. The nurses we're great with my Mother the whole time. The doctors, hospitalist and house manager we're awful in there treatment. I will NEVER be back to this hospital and will not recommend anyone to go here unless you want to die. *Photo included of the bag of blood when the urologist tried to say that she wasn't bleeding.

My family has been exceptionally pleased with the care at PMC. Dr. Ahmad in the Heart Clinic gave us three years with our mother that we definitely would not have had if we hadn't moved her from Bristol. I see physicians in Cardiology, Orthopedics, Neurology, Pulmonology and have been very satisfied with the care I have received. The nursing staff is efficient and very caring.

I can’t say enough for the ER team at this hospital. I was there 4 days for treatment and there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t help me with. Great staff. Very attentive and meticulous testing. I was literally dying in the hands of my hometown ER and was transferred to Pikeville. I had days to live and Pikeville got me back on my feet in 4 days. Can’t thank the staff enough.

I will give nothing but two thumbs up all the way. Recovering COV 19 patient and they were on top of things from the second I arrived. Came in critical from 2 hrs away to ICU but stabled in 2 days to private room. Answered all questions, never rushed in and out, patient, time to talk and listen, attended all needs and very best of bedside manner in ALL staff. Five stars for me. I am alive by prayers doctors and good medicine. I highly recommend. Some of you people expect a spa or vacation and don't give good reviews ever. Can't please you. Some of you are trolls and liars. Shame on you. This place is excellent.

Thanks to the Danielle, Linsey and Jessica on 7th floor for the wonderful, kind, and caring treatment. I couldn't have gotten better without your professional courteous care. Thanks and God Bless, sincerely Crystal Boyd
