A dear friend of mine was a patient in the ER with covid. She had asked the nurse for some water…read more The nurse told her, "you have covid you don't need water." And shut the door on her! She was also asked if she was hungry. She said yes. It was around dinner time. She never received a tray. She asked where her tray was, and she didn't get one until 9pm, no cover over her food, and her tomato soup and chicken breast were COLD! This is how you treat the sick?!?! She felt she was in a DEATH CAMP! This is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!

The billing department is incapable of doing their job. They stole $1574 from me being dishonest…read moreand not listening to the customer. Ridgeviews billing department did not submit the claim to the insurance company just used hostile tactics to collect money that was not owed to them. THEN when billing did their job the insurance company accepted and paid the claim, Ridgeview refunded my money to my fsa account. I am not out that money to pay my other medical bills. There is a specail place in hell for these kind of people.

I has a surgery in 2002 with Dr. Rotenberg. He performed a lateral retinacular release and partial…read moresnovectomy (on a 16 year old athlete!) and I spent the next five years in pain until I found a real doctor to fix his mistake. When I went to him after the surgery in pain six months later he said it was in my head, was rude, arrogant and took no responcibility for his actions. He cut entirely through my LR and 3/4 inch into my vastis laterus. I am now looking at a third surgery to repair what his trigger happy scalpel has done to me.

The care given to the patients is amazing, you do not feel rushed !

Their training program is horrible and they constantly have a swing door of staff. From December 2024 through November 2024 n once department they lost 10 staff member. They will also blatantly loom at you and tell you that the accommodations made by your medical provider will be denied and they do not need to follow the request. They also will tell you they will no lt allow ADA accommodations because they stated they do no t see a disability, so I do not have e one, and that is externally against the law-

I delivered my baby here and they based my care off of anxiety and pain management. I walked into…read morethe surgery room for a c-section, hormones were all over the place just like anyone else would've gone through, lights blaring, 10 staff members standing in a circle, sterile environment, of course my anxiety was through the roof considering soon enough I was going to have a c-section. I have never had one done, anesthesiologist was great and so was my surgeon, quite a few people in training which made me feel a little uncomfortable but we both made it through the surgery safe. During recovery I had severe gas pains, nurses kept attempting me to start walking the next mid-day when I was still having severe gas pains and they looked at me like I was a joke as well as maybe acting? Or scared to walk?? Of course I would love to get up and run a marathon but it's difficult when you are experiencing horrid gas pains. Pain was not managed well, nurses wrote in false progress notes. 2 days after my surgery, my gas pains were still terrible, pain was still not managed correctly and I was also having muscle pains. I asked the nurse if there was anything else I could take such as a muscle relaxer to help with my pains along with the narcotics I was taking to help ease the pains. She talked to a lead RN and recommended vistaril.. it barely helped with muscle aches like a regular muscle relaxer would and it also knocked me out completely. I couldn't take care of my 2 day old baby... I was SO out of it like I was given a horse tranquilizer. I was pumping/breast feeding at the time so as you could imagine it was DIFFICULT to even hold up the pumps, I kept falling asleep and had to be woken up WHILE pumping.... I simply asked for a muscle relaxer or something else besides ibuprofen and Tylenol to help manage my pains considering 2 days prior I had a c-section. She based my pain on anxiety and pain management. Didn't give me the narcotic unless I asked for it because it was a prn (as needed) when again, I was literally just sliced into.... It should be common sense to just give it when it is available.. she was sassy when I asked another nurse that came in the room if I was able to have the narcotic and came in shortly after and said "I can't just give you the medication unless you ask for it so next time please ask and I will get you one". I was speechless. What was supposed to be a non stressful delivery experience, was very stressful, mentally exhausting/draining, the list goes on. Lactation ladies were amazing, don't get me wrong maybe like 2 nurses were AMAZING. 2 nurses helped me set up my pumps, watched my baby so I could rest for a few hours, helped me in the bathroom/with transfers with no hesitation and were very heartwarming good souls. I just don't understand why people work a job where there job requirements are patient based care. This one specific nurse that over drugged me, put in a progress note that I was "knocked out from the vistaril" and how I asked for something to help me sleep so she gave me that???; had me in tears. I did not expect to not be able to function. But I guess in her eyes "this was distressing" for me. (I blacked out the nurses name and the dates due to having respect for others) I highly suggest if you are getting a c-section or go into labor and delivery not to tell them you have anxiety. In short they might hit you with a sleeping pill and tell you it's a muscle relaxer and your muscles won't feel a difference! You'll get great sleep tho and feel so drunk when you are woken up to take care of your baby! But don't worry. They did their job???
