Fairview Ridges Hospital

How do you discharge a patient who complains about being weak and unable to eat and drink regularly without even giving them fluids through an IV first? And then send a nurse with discharge papers with the instructions like “make sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat” ?! LIKE NO ****! I would eat and drink everything in sight if my throat wasn’t impaired! I WENT TO THE ER TO SEEK HELP, REAL HELP! If I could eat and drink fine I wouldn’t end up there in the first place!!! Tired of not being taken seriously. WENT TO MAYO AND THEY SAID I WAS SEVERELY DEHYDRATED! THEY PUT 3 BAGS OF FLUIDS IN ME! 3!!! Get it together Fairview!

The nurses and staff were pretty nice and accommodating. Communication was off between nurses and the doctor. We were under the impression that this Dr. Dill who did the surgery would come by to do his check in rounds w his patient. Waited the entire day, didn't get an exact answer as to if patient should go home or not. Nurse said she would send a message to Dr. DILL to give us a call. When he called he was extremely rude, short, and practically yelling at me on the phone as if we were bothering him and inconveincing his so important schedule. When I explained to him that we have not gotten an answer as to whether or not our patient was to go home and thought he needed to make the final check, he was acting like we were idiots or something. A Dr. is supposed to be able to answer their patients questions and provide their professional opinion. Instead he was so rude and belittling. Horrible bedside manners, his surgery results better be top notch with that condescending personality.

By far the WORST HOSPITAL EVER! Who ever goes to this location will waste there time, they don’t take you seriously, nurses or doctors will mock you. They treat my fiance like she’s some lunatic that WANTS to be there? Um, NO! We would like to spend time with our daughters and live a normal life just like everyone else instead of going to the ER. I take her to the ER because I have witnessed her fainting, not eating enough, barely drinks water and juice from a SPOON like a baby. And no specialist has been able to find an answer yet! (Switched to Mayo Clinic for her primary: hopefully answers soon!) So when she’s at her worst in symptoms of course I bring her here because it’s closest! (Mayo ER is 40 min drive from us) - I just hope somebody from Fairview sees this because the way you have been treating my fiancé is just not acceptable. SHE IS SICK, AND SHE IS IMPORTANT. LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS!

Last week I had a severe allergic reaction that ended up up making it very difficult for me to breathe. As soon as I walked in the door they got me into a wheelchair and off to a room. Within minutes they assessed me, gave me an IV and epinephrine and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. The doctors, nurses and staff were excellent. Thank you!

Sat in ER TODAY 11/24 for over 6 1/2 hours with my daughter was told they had 6 ER DOCs working why does it take so long to get urgent care isn't that why people go to ER ?? I was very upset and frustrated. Once you even get into a room your still waiting to see a doc and to get a blanket or your prescription it's another hour!! We ended up leaving and not waiting for the prescription!! People who were sick almost fainting in their wheel chairs ended up leaving!! Nice process Fairview!!
