A coworker needed a ride to the hospital in Monroe. His mother had a stroke and was not doing well. I'm not a big fan of hospitals and most certainly don't care much at all for the food that they serve. By the time that we arrived, it was going on noon and I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch. After visiting for a bit, I went looking for the hospital cafeteria; I was absolutely famished. Bar none, this was absolutely, hands down, the very best hospital food that I've ever eaten. Oven baked chicken breast, chicken tenders, a hamburger patty and steamed broccoli. That huge plate of food was under 10$. The beverages are considerably more expensive. I try to avoid hospitals at any and all costs. But, I really enjoy writing the reviews and taking pictures. And yes, as expected, everything is handicap accessible and immaculately maintained. Whether you're on the hospital ward, or the cafeteria. I was suitably impressed. If you took the time to read this review, please take a 1/2 second and click like. Thank you.

If I could give this place a 0, I would. This is the most useless use of medical staff in an ER I’ve ever seen. They walk around doing nothing or just casually eating food, in no rush to try to do their jobs at all. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen nurses walk so slow. My boyfriend was having an extreme allergic reaction that was closing his throat. We waited for almost 30 minutes and still no one came knowing the emergency. This is the 4th time in a row I’ve been there and my experience there gets worse every time. I will never go there again or ever recommend them. Drive a couple miles more and go literally anywhere else.

My doctor sent me to Atrium Cabarrus concerned that I may have a blood clot. My husband and I waited 3 hours before a triage nurse saw me. Some of the other folks waited for up to 11 hours still have not seen a doctor. They then made an announcement that anyone not seeing a doctor had to leave. That did not go over very well with my husband and I. Then the police came into the ER making sure that no one seeing a doctor had to leave. There were 4 police cars outside the ER. I have had some serious health problems this year and was not going to sit in the ER by myself. I needed my husband with me. We both left. This was wrong. Just wrong. I was scared and needed him for support. I was in severe pain and in tears. My husband knew the pain I was having and when we got to the car he commented that he was glad I made the decision to leave he said the place was a “shit hole”. The care and compassion with health care has declined so much it truly is upsetting. If I could rate lower than a one star I would.

My mother is currently in ICU for severe pneumonia. They transported her out of ICU for one night (way too early in my opinion), and then she had to be transported right back to ICU due to worsening pneumonia and in respiratory distress. I have talked to many nurses and doctors at this point and while the nurses seem to be nice and helpful, the doctors don't seem to care that her pneumonia is worsening and will not change their course of action. She is currently receiving the same antibiotics she has been since she got here a few days ago, yet her condition is getting worse. I asked politely if we should try a different antibiotic or something else and they insisted to give it more time to see what happens. I'm not understanding why they can't try something else or add something else to her plan of care to see if she gets better. But if something happens to my mother because they waited around too long not trying to help her, I will be contacting someone about the doctors who have been in charge of my mother's care. This kind of care is unacceptable! Really wanting her to be transferred to Matthews because of all of this.
