Curry General Hospital

I cannot describe in words the blessing of an experience I just had at Curry General. I am a type 1 diabetic of 39 years, and recently moved to Gold Beach from a very big city. Due to a complication in the way the Oregon Health Plan operates, my prescription for insulin was not filled, and I needed an alternate prescription and it was on a Saturday, no way to get a doc. I walked into the ER and not only was the friendly front desk staff ready to help me, but the doctor was right there listening to my particulars and LITERALLY WROTE ME MY PRESCRIPTION right then and there. The ENTIRETY of my trip from front door of my apartment and back home took 15 minutes. I had tasked my wife with putting my son to bed instead of me tonight, expecting to be in the ER for at least a good hour or two and I was LITERALLY HOME BEFORE HE WAS EVEN ASLEEP. I left literally almost crying tears of joy for how pleasant my life experience has become after this dealing with Curry General. Kudos to you for being the first hospital to ever treat me like a real human being. I would recommend as a course of medical professionals for ANYBODY in the community. Hands down.

Jason hayes was my dr for about 4 month in which i was in pain the whole time. the last 2 visit we got into a agruement because i didnt feel like i was getting the correct care for what i need. my father is dieing and he could care less. i cant sleep at night so he prescribes me a antisicotic. hes a disrepectfull excuse for a dr. i would take utterback over him any day. if they would get real DRs in there not nurse practioners they might be able to take for their pateints. as of now im leaving curry heath and findinmg health care somewhere else

This is the most horrible place to work in healthcare, the most lethal place to be seen as a patient. Most of the staff is interim or contract workers who have no interest in the future of Curry nor its people or patients. The new CEO is terrible and new and it shows! She has financially ruined the place and continues to withhold pay raises to funnel money into a new hospital that the construction company is suing her for! She got a bonus from the inept Board of Directors after she froze all pay raises, canceled PTO pay out, lowered PTO maximums, canceled matching retirement funds, increased benefit costs and has laid off over 30 workers and the hospital is still in financial ruin. I wonder how she will staff the new hospital after she has canned most of the workers? Curry will always do more harm than good, if you can make it, drive north to Coos Bay where a real hospital is. If you are considering Curry Hospital, Curry Family Practice or Curry Medical Center as a possible employer... run away as fast as you can! This place will swallow your career and s**t it out. Beware also that they are changing their name because of the horrible reputation they currently have, but they are and will be the same failed place with the same failed leader. If you are traveling to the northwest coast and if you might be in Gold Beach you should put a note in your wallet for paramedics to NOT take you to Curry Hospital, you may never leave alive, you will certainly leave worse.

I am writing today to express grave concern about malpractice. I am a 42 year old male with a seizure disorder and some mental health issues that revolve around anxiety.I was on vacation in the bay area of california well away from my home up in Lane countiy of oregon. during vacation I had run out of medications to treat my symptoms.I decided to travel north across the border to seek refills and treatment at the nearest hospital. this is not the first time I required emergency services out of regular county. I checked in late night around 9pm and was attended to shortly by Dr. Peipmeier.during the 20 odd minuets that I was seen, most of it was sitting and waiting.the docor then returned to consult me about my conditions and needs.first off he left the office door wide open to the adjasent ER room where the other patients could clearly hear the entire conversation, absolutely no privacy.second he went on to state that refills of my medications are not possible as they do not refill those type of medications. (the doctors at the last hospital had just a few months before) when I stated that fact he was quik to blatently lie to me by stating that OHP has recently restructured protocall in the ER and that the previous doctors I had mentioned to him are now without jobs and I will not be able to obtain any medications at any other facility.this is not true since I spoke with a few of them today while gathering my medical records. He then quickly escored me out while making statement that if I need to obtain treatment that I should return while in full withdrawl of the medications perscribed. that is very low,considering that benzodiazapine withdrawl is very nasty and the risk of seizure is more likely than already being epileptic without meds. I am not stating anything bad about the other staff or facillity , they seemed nice and the buildg was very clean.But I do however shame the hospital for allowing a person to practice medicine there on a part time basis who is insensitive , lying, rude and a liability that might cause more harm to an individual than good.I am only rating one star since I had a very unpleasant experience.
