My husband became ill a couple of years ago, with a very serious blood clot issue. We live not too far from Ashland, and his doctor at that time was in Ashland. He was checked into Samaritan Hospital on an emergency basis.
He spent four days there. To be honest, many of the hospitals here do not have good reputations, and I was a bit unsure as to how to proceed.
The staff, doctors and medical teams in Samaritan Hospital proved that not all the hospitals here are questionable. My husband was treated in a very professional manner by a very knowledgeable and caring staff. His medical needs were met with immediate attention, and they provided the right treatment with the right medical applications.
I found the staff to be very caring and friendly. The nurses looked after my husband quite well, attending to his needs as they arose. He is not a picky man, and to be honest, he was not happy with having to stay in the hospital, but they made him comfortable and their treatments made him feel as though they were doing the best they could for him.
He is fine now after a few years of treatments. I found the whole event to be very scary at the time, but looking back now, the staff at Samaritan Hospital provided quality care for my husband.
Note that the medical insurance was accepted, the paperwork flowed nicely and we had no problems with the insurance companies or getting the hospital paid for their services. Everything went smoothly, another sign that the hospital staff know what they are doing.
Excellent, professional and quality care. I was pleased with my husbands treatment at Samaritan Hospital and would trust them again should either myself or my husband becomes ill.
