Moments, literally less than 1 minute, after posting this review, a nice lady in the ER calls and tells me a radiologist re-read my CT Scan, apparently I have have something called Rectus Muscle Hematoma. Therefore provingi was and still am in pain. With my INR being so high, this could be really bad. At least someone there does their job. However, this should have been found and properly cared for last night instead of sending me home with a pulled muscle. I told them and everyone repeatedly, this is not a pulled muscle - I have pulled muscles and this is pain is excruciating and something I have never felt before and I NEED RELIEF!! Yesterday (3/29/2017) I made two trips to the ER. The first time was a good experience. The doctor (I cant recall her name) was exactly what we expect an ER doctor to be. I was found to have pneumonia and my INR was 4.47, far above my therapeutic point. She sent me home with two prescriptions, one for an antibiotic amd litoderm patches for the massive pain in my left side. After being home just a few short hours my pain level increased by triple. I was in so much pain I was crying. I could stand. It hurt somewhere deep inside unlike any pain Ive ever felt. My sister took me back to the ER when my percocet and muscle relaxers offered not even the slightest bit of relief. Needless to say upon my second arrival I was greeted with the rudest most inconsiderate doctor, Stephanie Trowbridge. I know theres an opioid/pill issue going around here (and everywhere), however NOT EVERYONE IS AN ADDICT AND LOOKING TO GET HIGH! I am so sick of this hospital treating me like I am there to get drugs! I did ask for a second dose of the pain medication she gave me earlier because it gave me a great deal of relief from the pain. When my pain began to worsen again, I asked for a second dose so I could finally sleep sonce I had only slept 3-4 hours in 3 days. The doctor looked at me with a smug and rude look about her face and said, "Were not giving anymore IV meds!" It was her tone and expression when she said this. Prior to this before a ct scan was run she made the comment, "If this test comes back negative then were done, do you understand?" It was all I could do to refrain from verbally assaulting her. No wonder this hospital had such a low rating and the majority of people around here go to CJ Harris or Mission. Its time for Haywood County hospital to remember that not everyone who says their hurting is there for a "fix". There are a few of us who are not addicts and are seeking relief from what ails us. Shame on HRMC and Stephanie Trowbridge... I cant and wont put the Dr in front of her name because with her attitude and lack of compassion for patients she isnt suitable to take care people - I wouldnt take my worst enemy to her. I am insulted and again in pain. So thank you for nothing HRMC and S. Trowbridge. And I am sure this womans behavior is condoned and nothing will be said or done. Typical. I gave 2 stars ONLY because my firsy visit. Otherwise it would have been 1 one star because no star isnt possible.

My mom was taken here from the Cherokee hospital because sylva turned her down from being admitted back in Febuary. (Thank goodness) and the staff here have been beyond supportive and caring. She stayed there for roughly 5 days and was sent home and to return today for surgery. The doctor would repeatedly call me throughout her procedure offering comfort, support, and informing me of her progress. I am so thankful for the medical staff here! The nurse Vanessa was phenomenal!! She made my mom feel cared about and made a lasting impression to not only her but me. Always smiled and entered the room with positivity! Thank you!

Tonight I see our mountains are under a terrible winter storm tonight 2/25/15 I have a few friends that work at Haywood Regional Hospital. Earlier I saw you leader Mr. Patrick Wright on WLOS Channel 13 babbling about his staff and the snow conditions He is from Florida and probably drives a high priced 4 Wheel drive ..a memo was distributed to the lower paid staff that if they did not stay at the hospital or were not at work tomorrow they would be terminated really? I think this person is a poor leader? threaten the staff with termination ...what a terrible place to work ..shame on you MR. WRIGHT

Would have put 0 stars if it were possible. My mother, a patient with congestive heart failure, waited in the ER for over 9 hours. The monitors she was hooked up to went off several times an hour and no one ever came to see what was happening. After that we decided to leave and they insisted that they provided care and services that never actually occured. Worst place for emergency care, I wouldnt send my dog here.

I had to stay here for five days. The kitchen closes crazy early. They brought dinner around 5, so at 8/9 if youre hungry you can have junk from the vending machine, or an old sour sandwich. The nurses are nice, so Ill give them two stars. They have many areas that are below what I expect from a hospital. Id suggest going on to Asheville. Also, there is lots and lots of waiting in between being seen or updated.

Great ER experience during busy holiday and flu season. Everyone from the receptionist to our nurse Katie M. and Dr. Trowbridge could not have been more attentive and helpful with my husbands facial lacerations from a freak accident all the while attending to a packed and needy waiting room the day after Christmas. Our first experience with the hospital was excellent.

My mom passed over the weekend in the ICU. I cannot say how cordial and supportive the staff was during the few final hours of Moms life. They provided chairs for the many family members as they arrived. They provided us with a tray of refreshments and beverages. And they were so kind and gentle with Mom during this time. I am so very grateful to them.

I am currently waiting to get my daughter discharged but I had to write a review on how amazing the staff is here at the emergency room! We hardly waited at all in the lobby, everyone was very prompt and thorough. The staff was very nice and polite. I have never been to such an amazing hospital, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the patients!

When I actually lived in this county it was referred to as the Haywood County mafia for good reasons. Now, 20+ years after moving I just received a voice message from the hospital that Ive had NOTHING to do with in more than 20 years! Needless to say, I WONT be returning this call!

They have a licensed practical nurse on staff named Lisa Welch Nilles who is against vaccines and is posting on an anti-vaccine nurse group. A healthcare professional with these views has no business working directly with patients. I hope they will fire her.
