Services
I was very impressed with everyone that I came into contact with, before, and after my surgery. From the pre-registration to the nurse that wheeled me out, to my ride afterwards, The Doctor is a true professional and has gained my trust & respect. I thank each and everyone of you.- I would like to thank everyone in your Radiology Department.
Ouachita County Medical Center has a state of the art imaging department which features a 80 slice CT Scanner with angiographic protocols, DEXA-Bone Density Unit, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, and a dedicated mammography unit. The department also features digital radiography and fluoroscopy as well as completely modern ultrasound equipment including doppler, obstetric, and vascular procedures.

I brought my one year old in bc she began breathing heavy & the only thing the doctor did was listen to her chest & tell me she had a viral infection, no test or anything were done on her & we were sent home about 10 mins after walking in. The care is absolutely pathetic. Its like they didn’t even care.

Worst hospital ever. I would give zero stars if that was an option. The ER doctor is horrible. Do these doctors even have a degree to practice medicine. They are awful in the way they speak to and diagnose people. I will be taking necessary steps to go to the higher ups and make known what is going on in this hospital. They should be ashamed of themselves. I smell a malpractice suit in their future. I wouldn’t bring my pet cockroach to this place. I’m so disgusted.

A shame that my Mother Went to the ER and Doctor Daniel sent her Home clearly said that if she didn't eat she would Die did not diagnose the problem And I don't feel the best treatment was given They discharged her and she couldn't even walk I brought her To Baptist and a large number of Problems. I feel if u don't care about the patients you should find another profession it's sad case but I really don't see how they allow people to just draw a pay check and they had to revive her last nite at Baptist but thanks for sending her home to die your service is not greatly appreciated 😠

Took a trip to the OCMC ER a few months back to get stitches in my thumb. The group there in the ER did a great job with me. Jason was my nurse and Dr Daniels actually stitched me up. Both were pros with great attitudes. The place was clean and orderly and they got me processed through check-in quickly. I have absolutely no ties to this facility and it's rare for me to go back and rate anyone one way or the other, but the fact is they treated me exactly like I would have hoped.

I went to the emergency room yesterday morning because I’m broke out from my elbows down to my hands. And on my feet pretty much everywhere to be honest and the doctor gave me some Pepcid for stomach. I honestly don’t know how Pepcid going to help me with a outbreak like I have. The doctor said they didn’t treat outbreaks like what I have I mean godly I thought this was a emergency room. I thought you tend to whatever walks through your doors but I guess not I never seen a emergency room like that one.!?

Roark is very unkind. Refuses to speak to patients alone. Degrades and humilitats only in group. She’s not always right. She thinks she is. Staff is wonderful. Dr hought billed me for every day. I only saw him in detox. I got more help from the other patients. Would never recommend you all to anyone

Dr Jones is not a good Dr. She's all about her opinion and not actual medical standpoint. Nothing she did helped. She also refuses to listen to patients. The nurses couldn't care less (except a very few who were good one being in respiratory). The social worker Judy was disgustingly rude and never even presented herself til day of discharge. She did nothing in the case management or guidance of my family and if she wanted to I could show her how to do her job. Compassion. None of that exist in that God awful place. Anywhere. The hospital is also falling apart. Equipment not working, ceiling leaking

My family member was removed from this program for prejudice reasons! The roommate that he had, reported false statments to the director of CDU. When my family member was asked about the accusations made he was confused by the remark, and asked what she ment. Her immediate response was that he wpuld be removed for violent threats made to his roommate! He was never goven an opportunity to explain the matter. Though there were witnesses tp say thay my family member did absolutely nothing wrong! Nothing was even investigated, seeing as how my family member has been to the penitentiary and had tattoos
