Penn Highlands Clearfield

Everything about this place is just slow. Waited a good hour just to get bloodwork and the Emergency room is no better. Hours in waiting rooms yes I said rooms there are multiple waiting rooms and you will absolutely sit there for hours in all of them. Have personally seen several people just walk out due to the wait times while you can clearly hear the staff joking and having a great time at the expense of others. They need to clean house and get some people who know what they are doing.

Unfortunately they don't have a 0 star option. I was supposed to have surgery on a baseball size hernia, 24 hours beforehand, i get a call stating i need to pay $900 now, or i wont have the surgery. Everyone i talked to about it were rude, and when i had no choice but to cancel said surgery, i was treated to more rudeness. Had they let me know in the 3 weeks prior, it would have been feasible, but not 24 hours beforehand. When asked to repeat the name of whom i was speaking to, they just hung up. No mention of financial assistance, or ANY other option, just (in my case) $900 now and then a payment plan, or no (needed) surgery. Also refused to provide a copy of their policy about paying up any amount up front or they refuse services. Rude, horrible employees on every phone call thus far.

Staff was kind... but I came to the ER with difficulty breathing and was left completely alone before they had even finished taking my vitals. The doctor who arrived next said my vitals looked perfect, which leads me to question if they just jotted a number down because my BP was very high... they did not ask for a medication list and barely asked about medical history, but still gave me medication and prescribed meds to take home. The floors are caked with dirt. I've never seen a medical facility THIS dirty. They gave me a covid test and just left the wrapper on the floor along with needle caps from past patients. The xray tech (very kind person but made a potentially dangerous mistake) moved the biohazard container with their gloved hands and did not change gloves before trying to touch

Every time I come to this place I have a problem. Today we came in for a life or death emergency and it took them 3 hours to even just get us registered in the hospital as a patient. Now we're still just sitting here waiting. Worst hospital in the country. Disgusting place too. Nothing is clean. This place needs to be shut down.

Doctor was completely careless from the moment he walked into the room to the moment I was discharged. Told me I have tendinitis and that I should not grip, or twist with that hand and sent me on my way without even caring about knowing the type of work that I do. Passive aggressive, and egotistical; you will be shamed for no reason.
