Here I am sitting in my bed until the pain goes away. I have excruciating back and leg pain and right now can't walk. I went to their emergency room 11/12/2017 by ambulance. . I fell and could not get up. My emergency alert went off. When they got there I could not walk and the Paramedics carried me in on a pad put me a into the ambulance and the bed in the emergency room. I tried to tell the docter there was something wrong with my back but the doctor didn't listen to anything I said. The next thing that happen. When she came back she said I am going to give you a shot of morphine and then go home. One thing I need to say is I don't even think it was morphine because it did not even reduce my pain at all. I realize she treated me like an addict. I was in so much pain my friend had to help me get in a car and then cried all the way home. I have been in the pain for over 4 months and I could not talk to my surgeon but because he never returned my calls. I thought for sure he should have came to the emergency room but since she thought Iwas an addict so she refused to call him. Nobody should have to have this much pain. I called two directors. The Dr. told them that she exam me and I could walk fine. They said it was there policy if some one came into the emergency room in pain they always did not treat them. But you see I didn't come to the emergency room because of the pain. I went there because I could not walk. What humiliating experience that was. So now that I know there policy which is (never examine a patient that is in pain, they do not call your Dr. if you ask and in fact they don't treat you at as a patient if you are in pain, they treat you like your an addict). By the way I am a 66 year old widow who lives alone and has chronic back pain because I had surgery on my back that did not go right. But as I said I DID NOT GO IN FOR PAIN. I came in because I couldn't walk and had fallen because my legs did not work. NEVER GO TO THIS ER IF YOU ARE IN PAIN? In fact don't go there at all. I am still in bed waiting for the pain to go away enough to feed my little Service Dog Abby.

My husband had a kidney stone removed at PBGMC during Christmas week. . The check in, testing and the surgery was flawless. The nursing staff were excellent, very attentive and informative. Gave my husband excellent care. Dr Celijog is his urologist, which my husband believes is the best urologist in the area . Dr Celijog is very respectful with his patients. He is on time, takes time with his patients, and runs tests that are necessary. My husband had a positive experience with Dr. Celijog and the staff at PBGMC. Would recommend highly with Dr. Celijog and having a stone removed at PBGMC.

My partner was taken to this hospital from rehab/nursing down the road. She had severe symptoms of congestion from having suffered a stroke prior. Emergency room was ok but they sent her up to 3 rd floor and it was a nightmare. No aides around to change some who couldn’t get out of bed. Needed special purred food and assistance. RN told me if family didn’t feed her she wouldn’t be eating. They also left her filthy I took pictures.

Horr8ble scam overcharged and over tested. They are so incompetent that they never followed up with results . My insurance and sent a bill for 27k. They charged a crazy amount for toxicology report and billed for each drug. Theu refused to give me bloodwork results since I left ama ans expect me to pay 27k for one night. They charged 4 times more then other hospitals and lie . Each person in billing. Department tells.me something different they refuse to negotiate about I t the prices are insane and according. To new laws, hospitals are required to tell prices. So inhavw a list of attorney that can resolve the injustice of this terrible hospitals
