Chandler Regional Hospital is without a doubt the worst hospital in the
area. The service is terrible and the staff is uncaring and rude and
will lie to your face.
If you show up complaining of pain you had better be prepared to be
treated as though you are a druggie. I went in the middle of the night
with major tooth pain and was left to wait over two hours, at times with
zero other patients waiting, while the nurse continued to socialize with the
doctors, other nurses and to look down her nose at me. Finally, after
waiting to be seen for over two hours (immense pain the entire time),
I asked the nurse how much longer I would have to wait, she lied to
me and said they ""must have come to try and get you while you weren't
there, did you go outside and smoke or something?"" (I was there the
waiting room entire time, did not leave). This also is after the triage
nurse stated that I had been ""fast tracked"" - which I now believe is
their internal code for them thinking you are lying to them about your pain.
Another huge concern is that you will need to pay very, very close
attention to the bills you will receive from both from the hospital
itself and the doctor who eventually sees you. They will:
1. Overcharge you for the visit itself
2. Overcharge you for any medications administered
3. Bill you for the entire bill (not just the patient portion with
insurance)
4. Send you invoices that are inconsistent with what they filed to your
insurance
Unless it is an absolute emergency and there is no closer hospital you
can go to, I recommend doing all you can to avoid Chandler Regional Hospital.
If a representative from Chandler Regional Hospital should happen to
read this I want you to know:
I am a real person and was in real pain and I came to you to seek help.
You did far from help me. It was traumatizing what you put me through
and continue to put me though with your unethical bill practices. You
should be ashamed of yourselves.
