2 things: 1. My girlfriend went there with severe back pain. They NEVER gave her blood work and all they did was give her 2 shots one being a pain reliever and one a muscle relaxer (both did not work at ALL). The young nurse was more worried about getting off her shift than actually taking the time to put band-aids on the injections. She actually said she was in a hurry. We were in and out of there in about 45 minutes which is pretty quick since we were there at about 6:30 a.m..She had a big bruise on here left arm from where the nurse put the needle. Also all of the staff that were in was not on the same page. She felt worse when she came out of the hospital. 2. I had a migraine a while back and they asked what my pain was at on a scale of 1 to 10 I told them a 15 and the nurse had the audacity to say "Well it only goes up to 10" I said than a 10. All they did was give me some pain killers in a i.v. and ran me thru a mri and they still couldnt find the source of my pain. They looked at me like I was some kind of junkie. I would not recommend ANYONE to Lapeer. All they care about is getting paid and going home. They seriously do not care at all about the people who come in. I believe the only way any of the staff got their license was thru a cracker jack box (sarcasm). When my girlfriend went there it felt like a fast food joint. When I went there again they made me feel like I was an addict. Years ago that place was good and they actually had staff who took the time with their patients. My mom had witnessed the abuse of a elderly person a few years ago and she did report the incident. The nurse got into trouble...How much trouble? you may ask I am unsure. A couple of my family members have died under their "care" as well. (Ok so more than just 2 things but still). Sure IF your lucky you may actually get someone who does give a hoot (saying this politely) but 9 times out of 10 youll get the usual stuck up, doesnt know what the heck they are doing type of people. I feel a great deal of sympathy to anyone that goes to that hospital. END OF RANT!

We use to think this was a great hospital before McClaren took it over. Some of the nurses are very good and nice, but overall the hospital i snot good. My wife was contracting early at 29 weeks, and her doctor would not listen to her, not reach out to her, and would disregard anything my wife would try to communicate. The night nurses were very rude to my wife, and even just asked her out of the blue "Do you smoke pot?". My wife has been in there 5 times now this week, and drug tested every time. Then they commented on her teeth as she had pymia and poor enamel since she was young. Now knowing this we are monitoring our daughter as she is showing signs of this, but all of our boys have strong nice healthy teeth like mine. I am a software engineer and so have blue cross and good coverage. yet they treated her like some drug addict and very condescending. To those there that are good care givers, thank you. BUt to the others, and operations here, you need a major overhaul. And do not blame it on anything else as we all have bad days, but this is a constant occurrence we noticed. Another patient and her husband left that same day because they shared the same doctor and the doctor would also not contact them. They walked out. Me and my wife over heard two nurses communicating in the hallway, and the nurse said "I cannot believe that. I called Dr. ***** and she said she does not want to be bothered unless she is having a baby." This was the last straw. In top of that, we said we wanted to take my wife to St Joseph Mercy, as we had good experiences there, and the nurse told me we cannot do that, and have to go to the hospital they tell us to. Lol Yea, ok. I love how people think since most people do not pay attention to politics, and details of the law like patient rights, that they can just make things up. Well, we are both very educated, and may not look like it, but well updated on current info. Be aware you can have a major hit or miss regarding this hospital.

I went there for the same problem I had before. Last time I was treated good tonight they wanted me in and out! Didnt even check my blood for infection. Did nothing and probably made a ton of money off it. This is the second time Ive had problems with this Dr in the 2 years I lived here! Something need to be done. Dr Kirk down does not do his job!! Just writes scripts! Last time I received an IV with antibiotics,blood work! What I have is serious. He wrote on my discharge papers that I was in here for something totally different. Slacking because its the holiday weekend and hes got to work? Absolutely! To McLaren Id like a call or Ill be calling you.Then to top it off the cleaning lady comes in and tells me I need to hurry and get dressed so she can clean the room...that was the icing on the cake. I asked to speak to a higher up. She said thats how the Dr felt he should treat you...ha he didnt even touch me or take my blood or my cup of piss. I have it to show whom ever I speak to on Tuesday about how I was treated in this hospital. Next time I will drive all the way to Flint and use Hurley hospital! I will be getting a second opinion and if this Dr diagnosed me wrong you will have a law suit on your hands! I cant wait. You need a whole new staff. So my Dr didnt do his job, the mgr didnt do her job and the cleaning lady needs a new job!!! Im so angry and I will be following up with a real Dr that actually treats you properly! Then Ill persue with medical malpractice! I do not recommend this hospital at all. The only reason I go here is because its closer than flint . Never again,I suggest you dont go here either. The staff is completely rude and dont do their job!!! Dr. Kirk Down is a joke..I pray no one has to see him.This facility need to be shut down.

NEVER COME HERE. Now let me tell you why. Not ONE single person Ive known in the 18 years of living in the area has ever had a "good" experience including my family and close friends. Whether its extremely rude staff, not sanitary rooms, medical malpractice and/or negligence, 7 hour delays,or lack of knowledge,this is the worst place to ever receive medical attention. To sum up my last visit,basically around a year ago I had hernia surgery,got anesthesia in my eye during the process(not supposed to happen and they didnt apologize to me or react at all besides stating I got it in my eye during the entire surgery) and was blinded for 2 days in my left eye. Called about the pain because I was handed pain meds that were so dull that I forgot I even took them because they didnt relieve any pain...period.....not even the slightest bit. To sum that I couldnt get any relief and a man has to make money so I went back to work the same week and was in a 8 to 9/10 pain the whole time. 5 days after surgery I felt the same pain I had preceding the procedure and called to check me again for a hernia because it didnt get properly treated,paranoid,etc. And I was right, as of right now I have a full blown hernia AND verioceles. Never coming back even if its an emergency Ill drive somewhere else.
