They actually took the time to listen to me; the doctor would explain what they felt was the issue and felt I ought to be admitted as a patient and the internist came in told me their plan of care for me and I went to my room. There was a nurse who was in charge of the floor I was sent to and he took the time to walk with me and talk and ask questions if I had any. Then after my tests the doctor explained my situation to me told me that I was being referred to a neurologist to speak with the step in my plan of care. They had a nickname for this doctor because it was a zoom conversation which he asked me question and told me I needed to see a neurosurgeon and referred me to Dr. Waller, who did my surgery a few weeks later. I do not remember everyone's name because it was a scary time because of the findings. The internists that followed me through the admission were very nice and took the time to actually talk with me. The only complaint I do have is that my Iv site was infiltrated and the nurses felt that since they could still flush it with normal saline doesn't tell you that it is infiltrated. When I had to go for my MRIs I told them this issue, I needed medication to be able to take the tests and them giving me the medication by IV did not work at all. The tech who did the tests was very good at her job and very understanding when I could not continue with the testing. Overall, the care I received was very good and the reason I say this is because I am a retired nurse and they were very friendly, personable as compared to the horrible experience I had at Providence where I had another type of surgery, at that hospital in PACU where you are when you wake from your surgery, the person sitting next to my stretcher was talking to someone on his cellphone while I began waking up, did not talk with me but continued to yell asking when my bed was going to be ready and when he was told it was ready he said "finally" proceeded to grab all the wires attached to my chest at the same time and yanked them off, very painful to me (this is what is called unprofessional) and the care I got on the floor was also as horrible because they do not care about their patients and how they treat them (so the people who say that Providence is a better hospital I am sorry just because it "looks cleaner does not relate to be better), different surgery that was necessary that occurred in between this admission and the surgery from this admission. The surgery that stemmed from the admission was very terrifying for me. The staff in the OR were very understanding of the fact of me being very claustrophobic and allowed me to hold my own mask as they were administering my medication to go to sleep. This is beyond what they really needed to do but they did and it helped calm me down and gave the whole atmosphere a little more relaxed under the anxiety I was having. I want to thank them all on both of these admission to Regional for the care I received other than the IV issue was excellent care. I was at this hospital in June and August of 2025 and at Providence in July of 2025.

Nasty, nasty nasty! The employees don't care!…read more My sister was bought her tonight from the airport by ambulance. By the time I got her they had her sitting in the waiting room with a woman that was coughing and not covering her mouth. I told APD to take her to Providence for so many of the reasons I'm going to list here. They bought her here because Providence was full, so they bought her to the dirtiest hospital Anchorage has. The last time I was here, I bought my father in and we found out he had RSV when he returned back home The entire time they had my father sitting in the waiting room, never did he get into a room. Her nurse when she was in the room was nice but was she truly helpful. Slightly. It took twice asking for Motrin for her headache before she said the doctor wants to try Tramadol. The nurse offered it for the headache and never followed through. She has been in room air the entire time with her O2 dipping A LOT! But she was fine as they say. When she finally hit on oxygen is because I asked why is she not on oxygen and she's dipping? No one is coming to check her like we were told. When she beeped no one came in like she said they would. I asked her nurse an hour after admission came in to get insurance info, when she was getting her IV so she can get her scans done? She said who told you that? I told her the scan tech came up and said it and that she was going to tell her. Like wait what? The nurse walked in and said that's my fault usually if a doctor wants meds by mouth they don't do and IV. So you're admitting you're not doing your job correctly??? So an hour and half in she's on room air and dipping, headache still no meds, and no IV that's been ordered? Yeah she was not doing her job. It's to much to put in here, but do not take your loved ones here. I don't care if it's crowded go somewhere else.

When patients had developmental problems like autism in addition to the psychiatric, they were not receiving adequate services because staff were not taught how to handle them. Sometimes staff would be short a quality personnel because staffing would be adjusted to keep the physical needs (for physical restraints) equally divided (eg. 1male on each side, 2female on each, but started out 2male 1female, when adjusted no quality female on one side). In essence, chronically under-staffed, under-educated, and physical demands take precedence for safety and not treatment. Recidivism rates very high, some patients prefer to be sent back, and a very violent, unsafe environment for both staff and patients.

It appears we are profiling individuals who are military spouses…read more Let me clarify my situation, which began at 6:18 am when I walked out from inside the base due to my car breaking down. Since there is no bus service within the base distance, I had to walk 2.9 miles from Fort Richardson to the VA clinic near Muldoon Gate. Upon arriving at the bus station at 6:18 am, right next to the VA clinic and bus 25 stop, my asthma began to act up due to the cold air, making it difficult to breathe. I went inside to use the restroom and took my inhaler, then sat down for about 10 to 15 minutes waiting for the bus. When a security officer approached me and greeted me, I responded cordially. However, when he returned a few minutes later and asked if I was waiting for someone, I felt a bit perplexed. After explaining I was waiting for the bus and providing my military spouse ID, the officer's tone and demeanor made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, particularly when he emphasized 'you're the military spouse.' As the bus arrived, two officers watched me from the door, staring, which I perceived as profiling. Regardless of my status as a military spouse, the treatment I received was unwarranted and profiling in nature, particularly given the circumstances of my car breaking down and needing to use the bus. I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable due to the manner in which I was looked at, akin to having committed a crime. The prolonged stare from both individuals as I boarded the bus and their continued gaze as the bus departed was not only unsettling but also peculiar, especially considering their position at the entryway.
