I've had poison ivy this summer. I went to the walk-in clinic in Battle Creek twice and they were…read moregreat. The third time, the PA scolded me and said I should never come to a walk-in clinic for the same illness more than once. She said if it warrants a second visit I should go to my regular physician, whom I was unable to get into for 2 weeks. I have full and backup insurance, so it wasn't about money. But I really did not appreciate the lecture, or poor care the third visit. If it's a real thing that you can't go to a walk-in clinic more than once on the same issue, I'd like to know that rule, and the reasoning behind it. Especially when my regular physician is not available in a reasonable time for the illness. I've been going to this clinic for years, even before it became owned by Oaklawn Hospital. I've always had great care until this lecture.

I will start this review by saying if I could give more than 5 stars I would. The staff here are…read moresome of the best medical professionals and support staff I have ever encountered. The doctors are efficient, but the majority of the praise goes to the nurses and CNAs and housekeeping, etc. My father was admitted after amazing care and compassion in the E.R. We did have to wait a little for a room but the care during the wait and the cheerfulness of the staff never waivered. Once in his room, his care team was fast and efficient in getting him settle all the while joking and laughing with him and making him feel safe and comfortable. I do want to make sure it is well known that the nurses and support staff can be stretched thin but you can count on their dedication to our family and friends. We are worried about one person laying in the bed but they are worried about A LOT of people laying in those beds.

They quickly eliminate you as a patient, and refuse to fill vital prescriptions, if you owe them money. I am currently out of work, desperately needed a refill on my blood pressure meds, and they refused me. I have a small balance...not even a large one, told them I would be able to make a payment in a couple weeks when I received my social security check. Their response was a "too bad, so sad" type of answer, I wil make the payment, but I will never doctor there again. I want a doctor who CARES about my health, and whether I have a Stroke or not, not one who just wants my money.

My husband and I live in Olivet with our three children. We have always used Oaklawn Hospital for…read moreall of our medical needs - PCP, Specialist, Surgery, Lab, Radiology, etc. My husband was born there as were my three children. We have always raved about the exceptional care we have received. Things changed last night. It was our town festival and my 7-year daughter fell while playing tag with her brother. She kicked a patio block where it and our driveway meet. Due to the severity and amount of blood, I asked one of the paramedics to come look at it. He called over a nurse. They both agreed that we should take her in to have it check out and at the very least have it cleaned out because there was debris under the skin flap. They told us that Eaton Rapids would probably be able to get us in and out quickest. However, being loyal to Oaklawn, we packed up our daughter and took the ER there. This was a terrible decision on our part. Registration was respectful, the nurses were kind and caring, however Dr. Yetman was the most unprofessional, disrespectful, and rude doctor we have ever encountered. He chose to chastise and belittle my husband the entire 5 minutes he was in her joint room. To make matters worse, he barely looked at her toe and only wiped around it with wet mesh gauze for a few seconds. A band aide was applied and off we were sent. I'm not even sure if he looked at her x-rays, but he spent less than 30 seconds observing her toe. A toe that a paramedic and nurse thought should be looked at by a doctor. To say that we are disappointed in the care we received would be an understatement. We will never bring our children to Oaklawn again. This story will be shared far and wide, so other families do not have to endure what we went through and to receive inadequate care for our child. Dr. Yetman should be ashamed of his actions and the hospital should be embarrassed that he is an employee there.I wish I could give this zero starts, but a 1 will have to do.

The Nurse was so rough putting in the IV blood was just everywhere running down her hand and all over the bed from her being so incompetent. We had to ask for water and ice through the entire delivery. No one explained anything to her, Treated us like we were a bother. After the delivery, they never brought anything for her to drink or eat the entire day. We had to ask over and over for anything as the nurses sat at the desk talking. They gave her Norco for pain without anything to eat and then she was throwing up non stop. I am so disappointed in the entire stay! Very rude, no compassion what so ever! We will never recommend Oaklawn to anyone!

I jumped through a couple of hoops (got a referral from my PCP and submitted records to Oaklawn from my current doctor). Oaklawn all out denied my referral a new patient. They said that it was because of the medications that I'm being prescribed. I've spent the last 8 years getting these medications dialed in with my current provider. The only reason I requested to become a patient is because my current doctor isn't in-network with my insurance and I pay a ton of money out of pocket every month to be seen. I could use the VA, but choose not to because I have insurance to see private doctors. This is a travesty on the part of Oaklawn. They are denying mental health services to those who are asking to be helped. I even offered to stop taking my medication that I'm currently being prescribed taking and start fresh with one of their providers. Now I'll have to drive almost an hour away to the nearest provider to have a 10 minute appointment. So frustrated!
