I came in on 11/11/2015 because I was vaginally bleeding for the past 3 weeks. They got me in tested for pregnancy , stds , BV , & yeast. All things I knew wasn't going on. The doctor was rude towards my husband and the didn't seem to further see the reason for HEAVY bleeding. Telling I had never had irregular periods and never one that lasted 3 weeks. They did nothing but run the test and say it was clean nothing going on .. No further testing I will not be returning. WOULDNT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ANSWERS.

Terrible experience. On May 2nd we went to Baptist Parkridge Hospital. My husband had injured his leg and had an enormous hematoma, on his shin. We were concerned since he has had several DVT's, etc. They examined the wound and performed a CAT SCAN and said that he should return home, elevate the leg and keep ice on it. After a couple of days the leg was worse and turning red and warm, since this was a warning sign of infection, we returned to the hospital, on May 4th. We were there from 7:30 P.M. until approximately 11:00 P.M. We were about to give up and leave, since no one had treated my husband, when the emergency room doctor entered. He was annoyed that we were about to leave, and that he was dealing with a very severly ill patient. He looked at my husband's leg and said to just go home and keep it up. We told him, as well as the hospital staff, that my husband has had Cellulitis twice, which resulted in a 4 day hospital stay each time. They ignored this. Well, on Saturday, the 9th, my husband said that he felt his leg was getting worse. We decided to go to Lexington Medical Center, since we got poor care at Parkridge. At Lexington Med Center, they did a blood culture on the leg and found that he indeed, had Cellulitis and admitted him immediately. He is still in the hospital on 2 different antibiotics and will have to be out of work for the next month and have a home health nurse come in and pack his open wound. We would NOT have been going through this if the 2nd doctor at Parkridge had taken the appropriate steps to see if there was an infection.

I would not take my cat here and I hate cats. I had a severed median nerve and severed tendons. They sewed me up and sent me home on a Friday. I went the whole weekend with no pain meds...
