What a terrible god forsaken corporate facility pretending it is a medical facility:
Where its smart alec employees give curt bureaucratic responses and charge for everything including what they should not charge for. One of the worst alleged medical facilites I have ever seen in my world travels
How does ones get treated for a swollen infected painful tooth in this god forsaken town without having to suffer the indignities and nonsense of these corporate criminals who act like extortionists and the godfathers' gatekeepers?
Where one with medical coverage through Gateway, a credit card and bank account with a sufficient balances to pay for a simple extraction can not get the job done in this god forsaken town as they are all too busy running around with their firearms like terrorists protesting everything in their backward manner.
But how does one get a tooth extracted without delay in this town?
A terrible hospital you are lucky if they don't torture kill or get you arrested that some people compliment because they don't know any better as they never seen better nor been any where to see better.
Simply it is definitely not liked .response / report this review -

Witnessed them misdiagnose one of their own nurses babies.
Most people that work here won't come here or let loved ones come here, what does that say for quality of service?response / report this review -

I went in for neck surgery. I had to stay over night on the 11th floor. All the nurses were great but one was amazing. His name was Cody. He listened to my needs and brought my pain meds before I asked. My needs were met 100%. He made me feel comfortable and spoke to me as a person not just another patient.

My wife came in with hi blood pressure and being 8 months pregnant they wanted to keep her over night,fine. But at 6:30 when they ammited her (after being here 7 hrs.). They said she could eat but said the cafeteria was closed if I wasn't here she wouldn't have gotten to eat. Also her bed was broke, called for nurses help to pee never got it I had to get help. There's was no wear for me to rest as I stayed over I case we had the baby I'm cancelling the delivery date here and we are going to maggees women's hospital where they really seem to care will never come here again. 0 stars

My wife gave birth to twins here. Our midwife was with us here while all this was happening and thankful that she was. My wife was 10 cm dilated but had just a lip left but was not progressing. The nurse was in with us and we waited for almost an hour and still no progress finally our midwife said drain her bladder, that can sometimes hinder the progress. the nurse did so and soon our first baby boy joined the world. The second one was footling breech but thankfully the doctor was willing and delivered him naturally without insisting on c section. We spent a week in the hospital because the second one had problems keepin his temps up. We got a little frustrated with the doctors because they were unclear what goals had to be reached before he could get out. But thankfully the nurses were very helpful and pushed our little fella along and he was discharged a week later. He is doing quite well now. I heard one student doctor I know well who worked there explain it this way. The doctors are good. The nurses are very nice but the facility is not so excellent. The computers kept going down, the lack of communication, etc. I totally see why he says that. So 4 stars out of 5

As a review for UPMC Altoona and it's myriad of doctors, insurance, staff and network, I generally have to say I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed! Very confusing to navigate the systems of insurance, conflicting invoices from UPMC Altoona verses UPMC Pittsburgh billing departments, extremely long waiting lisits to see specialists for anything from pain management, back specialists to dental. Injured my back January 2015, started seeing a UPMC Doc Dr Gates February 2015 Had to wait until November 2015 to see pain management, after several series of back injections was informed by Dr Drass I had scoliosis (panicked over that) saw Dr Drass' partner Dr Rigal 2 weeks later was informed the scoliosis diagnosis was incorrect! Conflicting reports with the same MRI, XRay ecteria from the same office! Talk about concern on my part. Was then transferred to Dr Harvey, he told me no scoliosis and physical therapy AGAIN. He referred me to physical therapy and they never returned my calls to schedule. It's October 1 2016. Still in pain! Thank you UPMC for your due diligence and patient care.
Currently waiting after 30 days to see an oral surgeon for an impacted wisdom tooth. Wait had been so long the effected wisdom tooth has become infected twice! Thankfully I have never had a previous cavity. Apparently few oral surgeons in Altoona take UPMC insurance and or new patients with out incredibly long waiting lists.
Normally I am not critical of matters like this however when days turn to weeks and weeks to months and months to nearly 2 years I have so say something.
Unless seriously life endangering.go to Med Express!
Or find medical care in Pittsburgh!response / report this review -

My wife had a broken wrist in idaho 4 weeks prior to moving here. With tricare waiting to be transferred to a new region we spent a few different trips here trying to get them to remove the cast in the ER. They refused to do so and continued telling her she needs 1 more week. They did not at all recognize the orthopedic specialist she saw in idaho that ordered her cast to be on for 3 weeks. The physician assistant that saw us even told her to see a new orthopedic specialist even though our insurance isn't updated! This hospital is a nightmare.

Some of the staff are excellent. One time I went to the ER because I was in pain and hadn't slept more than 8 hours the last few days. The doctor insinuated I was making it up. They neglected to tell my the insurance I provided was expired. Then I was here after a car accident. Again, some of the nurses made my time there much better. Other times I was ignored. On my last day I needed an xray before I left, I was left outside of radiology in a wheelchair. I saw the person tasked with transporting me sitting on his phone. When he saw that I was looking at him he moved out of my view. Eventually, since my legs were fine, I decided to just go back to my room. A passing security guard wouldn't let me. Delayed me actually leaving the hospital by about 2 hours.

This hospital is a shining example of the state of our medical system in this country.. Honestly, you're probably better off buying plane tickets and flying to Mexico to see a doctor. Not only are the staff and doctors all incompetent and mindless and have no idea what they're talking about, but the prices you'll be charged, even with insurance, are outrageous. Don't expect to get any real answers here. You'll basically just be paying hundreds of dollars to sit around and wait to hear nothing other than that you need to be referred to a specialist, so that you can spend even more money.. Great country we live in.

Very good E.R. and in-patient care. Folks have to understand that this is the only safe and competent E.R. for many miles around and is very busy. Try going to big city er and you will wait MUCH longer. Have had several outpatient and inpatient surgeries at UPMC. Never had BAD experience here. Laid in hallway strapped onto backboard and neck brace for several hours in other hospital.
