Ministry Door County Med Center

Saturday I fractured my pelvis. I want to be fair to the ER and say I am not sure how busy they were. Having said that, the ER doctor started out by checking my wrong hip. The ER nurse really needs bedside instruction. Twice he came into my room unaware of what had transpired since his last visit check on me. Both times he left the room in a hurry. Finally, I had four fractures in my pelvis and was never offered any pain management. When I asked ER doctor for some Aleve, it never came. When I was transferred to the second floor I had a wonderful experience. The nurses, Holly, Kody, Naomi, and Lacy were all attentive and had excellent bedside manners. They also immediately hopped on my pain management. What a dichotomy in the same hospital.

Avoid the ER at all costs for anything serious, they are literally the worst. They almost killed my wife who had an internal body infection, sent her home twice a claiming it was a panic attack. 3rd time back for same issue resulted in a flight for life helicopter ride to St Vinny's in Green Bay. If I'd have just gone there first I would have paid $20 in gas, not a $25,000 helicopter ride. This was a couple years ago, decided to give it a go again as my wife's primary care Dr wanted her to go to ER right away due to her symptoms. The Dr literally said to her "I don't understand why you're here." They must hire the laziest Drs who hate doing actual work and accuse patients of making things up. I could go on and on about poor experiences here but I just went with worst and the most recent

Ambulance brought Mr to ER. Presented with high fever, unable to walk, confusion, severe arm tremors. I thought he had another stroke! DIAGNOSIS: Sepsis from bladder infection. ICU: Can not praise the professionalism and compassion shown to my husband and to me. I was concerned enough with this serious diagnosis to call our children from across the US. ICU nurses Yvonne, Katrina, Emmi, Danielle, and Becca, and their CNA's whose names I didn't get went out of their ways to make sure we understood what was happening and what the care plan entailed. Dr Binard and Dr Heise served us as well. Their informed calm eased my tremendous anxiety. Mr Wonderful is older than I and intellectually, I understand he will probably pass before I do....I just didn't want it to be NOW. DOOR COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER is a small, rural hospital. But they have big-city, high-tech practices and a highly qualified staff to insure the most positive outcomes available. Rest easy at DCMC! This is a pre-billing review. Whatever this ordeal may cost, I have Mr Wonderful again. Thank you again, DOOR COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER.

I'd like to share my experience, but after waiting 7 hours in emergency, 5 of them in waiting area. I've given this hospital enough of my time. They discriminate if you are not in there network.

I highly recommend just going to Green Bay. Went in tonight with kidney pain and the doctor yelled at me refused to let my partner come back, and treated me like I was just drug seeking. Just left aurora urgent care with a serious kidney infection and the ANTIBOTICS that were needed, as well as pain relief which is NOT what I had originally come in for. Dr. DEFRANk was the physician at DCMC. Edit: I later had to return to the green bay ER as my fever kept going higher, and found I had appendicitis. SO glad I didn't let this doctor bully me into believe that nothing was wrong with me.

Fast service..they listened to what i said...from out of town so wasn't sure what i was going to do but they took care of me in urgent care...

Had to visit the Labor & Delivery L&D unit while on my recent vacation. This hospital was unwilling to work with my medical provider but instead got into a turf war with them. I felt like the medical professionals here believed that I was an unreliable source about my own body. And when I asked questions rather than just accepting what they said, they attempted to gaslight me. Also from some conversations I overheard between employees while I waited in the lobby, it sounds like they don’t pay their employees very well and are very understaffed right now.

Nurse Ashley and Dr Thompson were so kind and respectful. Also thanks to the EMT and the sweet lady that drew my blood and gave me warm blankets. You all are appreciated.

Our little guy had just finished up antibiotics prior to our vacation. We were here 2 days and he had a low grade fever & wasn’t feeling well. We got in and out of urgent care quickly with the meds he needed. The security officer was so friendly and helpful as well as the receptionist. The nurse and doctor were great and really know how to help kids feel comfortable. They even gave him a stuffed animal & that has been his favorite vacation souvenir. I would highly recommend them & would come back in an instant if we needed to.

Came in with what turned out to be acute appendicitis. Sat there in excruciating pain. No updates regarding admission. No offer for a more comfortable place to wait. Lots of rule following. After 20 minutes they had the courtesy of wheeling me back from the front desk so they didn't have to look me in the eye. There was no one else in the waiting room.. Finally left and drove back to green bay. Aurora couldn't have been more accommodating. 5 hours later I'm home with appendix removed. Wonderful experience, completely opposite of this "health care" provider. Lots of talk about justice. Perhaps in my next life I'll come back as someone deserving of care. As the owner of a company, I know where this starts- right at the top Update: discovered post-op they found the appendix with a small tear. Had it burst prior to this visit or in transport on our own back to GB, that's a possible deadly situation, making this fiasco that much more shameful
