2/21/16 I went to Allegan Generals walk-in-clinic. They close at noon. I got there 12 minutes before close. There was an elderly couple in front of me checking in. They had been there already for about 10 minutes ahead of me. The lady checking them in seemed to be taking her time and/or having problems getting them processed into the system. I heard the elderly lady say "I was just here 2 weeks ago". Lo and behold the clock strikes noon and the lady checking them in says. "Sorry, Im going to have to turn you away". Telling the rest of us in line the same thing. The elderly lady is just about in tears, she said "I cant afford to go to the Emergency room". The woman checking them in just looked at her like she didnt say anything and repeated "I have to turn you away, sorry". I am livid. I get it the rest of us in line, we got there real close to the shut off time but this elderly lady should not have been turned away. They were there at least 20 minutes before closing time. I left and went to Spectrum Healths walk-in and received wonderful professional treatment.

Wile I was caring for my dying Father for the last 2 months my Mother also passed away, I missed an appointment at Allegan Hospital and now there saying I cant be seen there any longer because I missed 2 appointments within 2 months and 1 of them was not even made by me, it was a referral from Borgess Hospital to Bangor Medical, not even a referral to Allegan, they have no sympathy or morality, I offered my Mothers and Fathers death certificates that died on father died on 5-16-2016 And my Mother died on 5-14-2016, if your going through any depression please do not refer your loved one to this Hospital, Sincerely Ray Dunn I will be on face book posting to my family & friends about this in hospitability & carelessness !!!!

I have 3 children 2 boys one 7 and the other just turned a year old and 1 daughter that is 5 they all see the same doc Dr. Franzen shes pretty new here but she is awesome she is great with my children and great at explaining things to me about my childrens care and being a parent I can get a little over worried about things sometimes and she has never given me the impression that she has ever thought any of my concerns were stupid or Ive never gotten the feeling like she thought I was over reacting about issues with my kids I would recommend this doc to anyone with children even the nurse u see is great and they see the same nurse at every visit which I like. So if u need a doc for ur kids try Dr.Franzen shes great.

I was toasted up in a house fire in January of 1989 and arrived by ambulance in the middle of the night. I had burns all over both of my hands and my face, plus most of my hair was burnt off with lacerations in many places from breaking through a window to escape the fire. I was in lots of pain and had a hard time breathing. The staff in the ER was fantastic and the same with the staff of Intensive Care. I felt like they really cared about what was happening to me and they took great care of me until my discharge and then I had great follow up care from my PC, Dr, Savage. I wouldnt recommend anyone go through what I went through, but if it does happen to you, hope that it happens near this great hospital.

I would give a lower score if I could. Allegan Hospital is easily the worst in the nation. The staff is under trained, and almost useless. They sent me out the door still in excruciating pain and with no antibiotics or medicine. They didnt even recommend taking anything until I asked as they were kicking me out the door. I went to Metro hospital for a second opinion and they gave me an ultrasound right away vs Allegan Hospital making wait 4 more days in pain. I hope this hospital gets shut down. I wouldnt recommend this Hospital to my worst enemy. And I hope they dont plan on charging me since they did absolutely nothing but waste my time and gas.

They ask for your insurance card. I gave it to them. They copied it into their system. Then they billed my old insurance company. Insurance would have paid it if they would have received it. The service was fully covered under insurance. They never sent me a bill but sent it to collection. This is how I found out that there was a problem in their process. I was never aware of a unpaid bill. Ive talked to two other people who had the same problems. Be aware and avoid this hospital at all costs.

I have been trying to pay a bill for a month. Nobody will help me. The billing department apparently has one woman working who will not return my calls. I have dealt with two different credit bureaus. The collection agency the hospital says has my bill, has no record of ever having the bill. Never in my life has it been so hard to pay a bill. This is beyond frustrating.

We have had nothing but problems with doctors at this hospital. They never do anything except take your money. The ER is the worst. Be careful about the billling. They like to send you directly to collections without warning. The corrective action is to go to Borges in Kalamazoo. You will end up going there anyway to get the health issue resolved.

Wouldnt waste my time or money to be seen in this er. They have diagnosed more then one of my family members incorrectly. When they say they are a band aid station they mean it. They literally have to transfer you to a different hospital for pretty much anything.

Short stay was absolutely horrible! Great till the end. Barely awake from anesthesia and they boot me out the door to wait in the lobby barely with it and nauseated. Very push in rude. Never again Ill go some where different. Its worth the drive.
