Savoy Medical Center — Local services in Mamou

My name is Carolyn Tate and I took my husband to the ER at this hospital and he was the only person there at the time. I took him in to have ex rays of his hand and back from where he had fell that day and injured both. After taking ex rays , they gave him 4 shots, 2 muscle relaxers, a steroid, and some Advil and then sent him home. They did not even do a MRI on him to see if he had a disk that was messed up or anything else. You can't see if anything is truly wrong with the back on just regular ex rays. You have to have a MRI or CAT scan to see if there is truly any damage done to the back They did not even send anything home with him but some Advil that we had at home and told him to take Tylenol with it. They did not send anything else home with him at all. He was treated like a drug addict and this was the first time he had ever been to this hospital. This makes no since what so ever. First of all my husband is not a drug addict and he would not even go to the hospital unless he was truly hurting. This is totally uncalled for. They can't even give you something in the ER stronger than Advil or Tylenol or even send something home with you to help you what so ever. After seeing how he was treated I would never go to this hospital for anything. Because I would be scared that I would die. I have a lot of health issues myself and require strong meds to just get me through one day. And I would not get what I would need here and I would tell everyone else to stay away or find another hospital . And we have only been in this state for 2 weeks. But we will be finding some where else to go and live and we will not be staying in this state because the medical here is not to help you but to peg you as an addict when you really need stronger meds to help with the pain or to even make you feel better. Dr. Angela Mitchell is not a good Dr and does not have your best interest in mind as well as Savoy Medical Center. Because your going to be labeled as an addict even if you have never taken anything in your life . Now he is going to miss a weeks worth of work or longer just to find another Dr that is going to see if there is anything wrong with his back or even worse if he has to have surgery. He can not even walk today after seeing this Dr. and wasting his time on this hospital. Take our advise and go somewhere better or at least will have your best interest in heart, because you will not get...

If I could give it 0 stars I would. My 3 year old son had an outpatient dental surgery done at this facility. While I appreciate the effort that was made to keep my son alive on a what should have been a simple surgery, the staff here lied to my husband and I and told us it was uneventful. They did not think it was serious enough to advise us of the fact he was bagged because he was no longer breathing on his own. We had only found out because my husband over heard a nurse say that he was bagged. Then we started asking questions and the anesthesiologist asked if we worked on the medical field...I do not know what that has to do with being told information about my sons surgery but I assured him we both did and understood medical terminology. The look on all of their faces said it all, that they knew they were caught and had to come clean. They were seriously NOT going to tell us. He proceeds to explain that it is normal to do this...ok to nag every single patient is in fact NOT normal. Not to mention they dosed him with so much medication I could hardly get him to wake up, the nurses were incompetent, and scatter brained. They must of thought we were uneducated and did not understand but they were wrong and I WILL pursue this issue as far as I possible can. ZERO STARS...THIS PLACE IS NOTHING BUT A BANDAID STOP...DO NOT...

My grandma was admitted and some (not all) of the staff treated her poorly and disrespectfully. Every time I walked to the nurses station to ask for assistance, I was treated as if I was "bothering" them. My grandma's IV was really bothering her and I asked them to come check it, we waited 4 hours and they never even came to look at it until they took it out when we were leaving. It started bleeding everywhere and the nurse blamed her for bumping it and was very rude about it. I was very relieved to get my grandma out of that hospital. I wouldnt recommend...
