In patients' words
"They charged me for X-rays and services I didn't receive. Good luck trying to fight the charges. By far the worst hospital and health care provider I have ever been to!"
— RateMDs"My husband had a 5,000 emergency bill, he paid $200 a month consistently, but they always send a bill urging to pay it in full. When it was $1500 in balance.... They sent it to collection!"
