I live in Normal and I drive 30 minutes , past Bro Menn and past St Joe so I can go to hopedale…read more First the doctors speak English. I don't care much about my doctors but I want to be able to understand them. Second, you get great medical care and everything is under one roof. They don't have to send you to this place and that place for tests. You just walk down the hall. I had a gastro-interologist in St Joe who could not diagnose a diseased gall bladder (even after tests), Dr Al's nurse diagnosed it and Dr Al diagnosed it in about 2 minutes. After some tests, it was cofirmed and they removed it. After 6 weeks and numerous doctrs, the little hospital that could, did. The nurses and doctors are great. I recently had a kidney stone and even though I was in pain drove past 2 ER's to get to Hopedale and what I knew would be good care. The last time I had a kidney stone the nurse at Bro-Menn gave me an IV and morphine (didn't tell me she was giving me morphine) and then had to go get the head nurse because she "blew out a vein" whatever that meant. Then they let me drive away with all that morphine in my system. I also could hardly understand what the doctor was saying. You want good quality medical care....the little medical complex in the prarie is your place.

This is a very mixed review. While my Primary was Dr Phil…read morewho btw is a very good Dr., I started having problems with my other Doctor's nurse, Dr Nick's nurse, the pain Dr. His nurse, after being told by the Doctor, to prescribe my medications, refused and even mocked the Doctor behind his back, I know this because my wife and I saw her do it. Anyway, after I called in for medications, the nurse, refused to fill the doctors ordered prescription and instead made me come in for an appointment. Obviously, by the time I was able to come in, I no longer needed medications. I was left to suffer in pain for days. So, I told my primary, Dr. Phil about the problem and the fact that this incompetent nurse is a floater and goes all over the hospital. During the time I complained about her, basically all Dr Phil said was "Well, she hasn't had THAT many complaints" Let me tell you what, that was the WRONG ANSWER!!!! If a hospital has a nurse causing more problems than helping, it's time for the nurse to go!!!! When a Dr. says - Well that nurse hasn't had THAT many complaints - that, in and of itself, is a problem!!!! So, while I liked, for the most part, the Doctors, it's the nursing staff and the inability for the HMC board members to take action and keep the patients SAFE!!!!! Therefor I have left HMC and have chosen a new Primary and a new hospital. So, if you are having problems with getting prescriptions filled and feel it's a nurse causing it, you're probably right!!!! Time to move on!!!!!

This place is great! The Rossi's are outstanding physicians along with the others that work there…read moreincluding the nurses. If you ever got the chance to work here, I would absolutely do it. You receive great, personalized care and they really listen to your concerns. The Tremont office is also really nice, I would recommend HMC to anyone.

I won't go to any other doctor. He is amazing. I like the fact that when you go see him all of the…read moretests they need to run are right there in the hospital. I drive past many doctors and 2 major hospitals to get to Hopedale because my family has found Hopedale Hospital and Dr Al to be amazing. The little hospital out in the middle of nowhere is certainly for me and my family, the little hospital that can and does.
