DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL!!!
by smyrna615
I am rating this hospital 1 star and that is ONLY because of the few nurses that were very nice during my 2nd stay and for the very knowledgeable Infectious Disease Doctors. I will just list off my many issues that I had while in the hospital: was admitted to be induced, come to find out the baby was breached (would have been nice for Dr. McCullough to do a ultrasound when she questioned this during one of my doctor visits), the nurse knicked the wrong spot on my spine when giving me my epidural, Dr. McCullough knicked the main artery when giving my son his circumcision on the last day I was there, I ended up having to take him back to the emergency room that night because it would not stop bleeding and my son was in so much pain, while doing my c-section Dr. McCullough knicked my bowl duct which caused an infection and caused me to go back into the hospital for another week. So, at this point I have paid alot of unnecessary money to Summit. I am actually due a refund because unfortunately I did the right thing by paying a bill that they sent to me but come to find out my insurance does not want to pay Summit until they receive an explanation as to why I was admitted for the 2nd time. But of course Summit is being very difficult about giving me my money back! Dr. McCullough is a nice person but clearing has too many patients and is too busy. She did not even remember who I was or what she put me through when I went back for my check-up. I should have to listened to the many people that told me to switch doctors and hospitals when I found out I was pregnant!

Summit Hospital Is a Joke
by NicoleHaley
Summit Hopsital is a joke. I know from personal experience. My grandmother was admitted with a stroke. They checked her lungs and everything looked fine to them. After she got out of surgery from receiving a feeding tube, the doctor informed my family she had congestive heart failure. The doctor was too busy to answer my family's questions after her surgery. He then failed to make sure the nursing home received a fax stating the care my grandmother needed. Excuse me, but for $50/hr he could have sat down for five minutes and answered questions instead of saying he would send someone in and then that person never came. This hopsital should be a last resort for anybody.
