Adirondack Medical Center

All health care I’ve had has been outstanding. No long wait time for appointments. From the time you walk in until you leave you have helpful, courteous staff. Every doctor I have had has been pleasant and helped me understand my problem and the options on what to be done, i’m part of the plans/decisions for my own care and not just told what to do. They listen to what you have to say.

The ER closes at 8:00 pm . Its wonderful that Lake Placid is spending millions on new sport's facilities but shouldn't they be worrying about the lack of medical care ? We had a heart issue & had to call an ambulance to drive us through the dark mountains to another hospital. What emergency room closes its doors at 8:00 pm ? Just making you aware as I wish we knew prior to visiting.

I was admitted october 12th spending 3days there. Emergency room doctor was far from pleasurable as he was diagnosing me with a illness that can be terminal prior to running minimal test. I was devastated and hope to never see him again. With that said all Adirondack health staff on the 3rd floor were extremly helpful patient kind and took whatever time was needed to care for me leaving me feeling like a priority. Good news is I don't have a terminal illness instead turned out to be intercavity pneumonia with a lung abcess amd on the mend. Thank you again Adirondack Health for the great care I received while with you.

Avoid at all costs. I went into Adirondack Medical Center urgent care room with a dislocated pinkie finger on a Saturday evening this summer. At the time, I felt it was a smart decision to seek medical care instead of attempting the reduction myself. The staff was inattentive and lackadaisical. Though I was literally the only patient in the entire building, I was constantly waiting for care from staff. Even with all of this waiting I was out of there in less than an hour, post reduction. I then received a bill for nearly $4,000! I can not stress the absurdity of this amount considering the mildness of the injury and the short amount of time spent in the urgent care room. The fee for entering the door alone was over $1,700. The call I made to question the charges was received with

I went in to the emergency room here because I could barely walk after having severe back pain for a couple weeks. I was treated very rudely by both the ER doctor and nurses. Long story short I was given Tylenol and sent on my way. The next day I had to call 911 because I couldn’t get out of bed. At that point I was given proper treatment including physical rehabilitation but of course I had to pay for both visits.
