  I want to start by saying the nurses I dealt with were wonderful. They were kind, reassuring, professional, and honestly did far more to help me understand what was going on than the physician did. I genuinely appreciated them. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Scott was the complete opposite, and this was my second very poor experience with the same doctor. I had seen him approximately a year ago for a different problem. At that visit, I was given an assessment that another physician later told me was incorrect, and I ultimately received a different diagnosis and appropriate treatment elsewhere. Because of that experience, I was already disappointed when I realized I had been assigned the same doctor again. This time, I waited roughly 20–30 minutes before he came in. When he entered the room, one of the first things he said was essentially, “What do you want?” I did not feel like I was being approached as a patient who needed evaluation; I felt like I was an inconvenience. He made almost no eye contact with me and appeared to keep his eyes closed for much of the interaction. He seemed completely disengaged. He was only in the room for approximately five minutes, despite the fact that I was experiencing a significant panic episode and was trying to explain both my immediate symptoms and the medical condition I have been dealing with. I remained calm and tried to explain what was happening. Instead of feeling listened to, I felt dismissed. He repeatedly focused on my age and suggested that, because I am younger the physical problems I was describing essentially could not be happening and were psychological. He also told me that the emergency department “doesn't do ED” and that I needed to see a urologist What made that particularly frustrating is that I have already spent a great deal of time dealing with this condition, have seen multiple urology specialists, and have spoken with physicians who specialize in this area. I did not come to the emergency department expecting them to solve a complicated chronic condition. I came because I was having an acute episode and needed help getting the panic and physical symptoms under control. Eventually, I became so frustrated with the interaction that I literally said, “Dude, just go get me my pills.” At that point I had given up trying to explain myself. I agreed with him just so the conversation could end, thanked him, and waited for the medication. The nurses were the people who actually reassured me. One nurse specifically showed me the hydroxyzine package, explained what it was, reassured me that it was intended to calm me down, and treated me like a frightened patient rather than an inconvenience. That meant a lot to me. My problem is not with Adams County Regional Medical Center's nursing staff. They were excellent. My problem is specifically with the care and bedside manner I experienced from Dr. Scott. After two separate negative encounters with the same physician, I personally would not want to be treated by him again. I felt dismissed, barely evaluated, and talked down to rather than listened to. In my experience, a doctor should at minimum make eye contact, listen carefully, ask questions, and make a patient feel that their concerns are being taken seriously—even when the doctor ultimately disagrees with the patient's interpretation of their symptoms. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here at all.

  I thank Halley, Topango, Taylor, etc. for the guidance and help during my pulmonary therapy. They made the experience a pleasant and helpful workout. I appreciated the intelligence and patience of all there. Thanx all! Dave

  Zero communication unless I initiated it. The nursing staff was friendly, and they are the only reason this review isn't even harsher. When I scheduled my procedure, no one would tell me the name of the physician who would be performing it. It took a second phone call before I finally got that information. After researching the physician's background, I discovered they completed their medical education overseas at a school that did not inspire confidence. Had I been given this information from the beginning, I would have scheduled with a different physician. By the time I learned who would be performing my procedure, it was too late to make other arrangements, so I reluctantly proceeded. What happened afterward was even more frustrating. The physician spoke with my wife while I was still under the effects of anesthesia but never came back to discuss the procedure with me once I was awake. I was the patient—not my wife. Failing to communicate directly with the patient after a procedure is, unprofessional and disrespectful. One final observation: I find it difficult to take repeated lectures about diet, exercise, and healthy living from healthcare providers who clearly do not practice the lifestyle they are prescribing. Credibility matters. Overall, this experience demonstrated poor communication, a lack of transparency, and little regard for patient-centered care. If I could give this facility zero stars—or even negative stars—I would. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this institution and will never return.

  I have needed Adams County Hospitals services many times over the past 30 years & always satisfied in all aspects. Only the past few years can l say without hesitation it got better. The reason is due to your employee who monitors the front desk, Aba Adamson. She is without a doubt the most helpful & delightful person you will meet, that treats her position as if she owned the place & was dedicated to you having complete care. The latest helpful episode concerned an appointment for myself, a lot of notes to take, brought notebooks & pen but forgot my glasses. Upon entering the hospital, l asked Aba if you had a glasses exchange program, that l needed a pair of cheater glasses to take notes of doctor visit. Without hesitation she reached in her own purse, gave me a pair & ask if l could read with them. They worked & because it was close to lunchtime, l ask Aba if l should put them on her desk if she was gone. I have just come to front desk, Aba has gone to lunch & l saw this request on front desk to “let us know what you think”. Time to give credit when credit is due. Not often in life do you meet a General who stands in formation with their soldiers for the good & progress of the unit as a whole. If you are unaware, take notice, you have a General at the helm of your hospital in Aba Adamson.
