My brother Will went missing in Pollack Pines last month and we were fortunate enough to find him alive. When he was found in the mountains, he was rushed to Marshall and admitted into the ICU. His core body temp was alarmingly low, was suffering from dehydration, frostbite and other physical and mental ailments. Our family rushed to the area immediately to help and had the pleasure of interacting with your staff. Words do not suffice for the experience encountered; your ICU nurses were the most understanding and professional nurses I have ever dealt with. Not only did they take care of my brother, they were the rock for the entire family. I'm not trying to take away from each Doctor that interacted also, they too were amazing. When he was released from the ICU and moved to the 2nd floor until discharge we received the same stellar service from the staff on that ward also. Truly thankful for everyone and everything done by the staff at Marshall Medical during this family situation.

I don’t usually submit reviews but I felt the need to just tell you how wonderful your ED Nurse Julie Kahm (I could be spelling that wrong) is. I brought my grandmother to the ED over the weekend, and she is usually very skeptical of going to the hospital, I cannot thank Julie enough for her bedside manner, her compassionate care, and I know that they are working their butt off in there and they are busy but she honestly had some of the best bedside manner I’ve seen in a nurse in a while, which helped ease my grandmas anxiety. I work in nursing administration outside of Marshall Hospital, so I have seen the good the bad and the ugly. And Julie was so amazing with my grandmother and family that I felt compelled to write a review and thank her. We need more nurses like her, and I hope she will be able to see this review because she made a difference to somebody. I know she helps a lot of people in one day but sometimes people just need to hear how much they have really made a difference. So thank you, keep doing what you are doing, it matters.

My mother recently passed away at the ICU unit at Marshall's. I can't say enough positive things about the quality of her care and the support and comfort the nurses and all the staff provided her and our family. The ICU lead doctor, Dr. Tirumala, and the nursing staff during her week long ordeal were informative and supportive to our family, and worked to provide our mother comfort and dignity during this very difficult time. I can't list all the nurses, but David was remarkably supportive and gentle for the majority of her time, and Jody was a comfort to her and the family as she passed away. We are very thankful for their help to us all during this very difficult time.
In addition to the ICU department, all doctors and staff from the ER (physician, Dr. Randhawa) and her surgeon, Dr. Thayer, provided excellent care, support, and comfort.

Want to say thanks to the angel in the ER on Thursday, who was so sweet, trying to help me not panic. I don’t know her name but I hope she sees this. She made a terrifying event less scary.

I fell and broke my ankle on May 25th. EMTs arrived quickly and I took an ambulance to the ER. The ER staff attended to me quickly with care. I had surgery on June 5th. The pre-op, surgery and recovery staff were great. They kept me comfortable and gave me great care. I ended up staying overnight due to pain management. All of the nurses and aids that attended to me were very nice and caring. I really appreciate the care and kindness I received from all my care givers. Thank you for making this experience easier to get through.

I fell 12 ft off a ladder when my knee gave out on me. I ripped my arm open severing an artery, sprained my entire spine and messed up my left knee revision. EMTs were fast, efficient and professional. The ER team was right on target taking care of my body, extremely efficient, organized and thorough! The medical officer that stitched me up, did a beautiful job! The staff nurse taking care of my IV and every need is a hard worker and very efficient! Thank you so much Marshall ER! All of you make an outstanding team!

Went to Marshall ER - triage was fast, got into a room and seen by a physician's assistant and within 30 minutes they were drawing blood doing x-rays giving me a breathing treatment. I was treated with much respect and I was very grateful for their services.

We are walking though some very difficult moments with an aging grandma. The Staff in the ER have been amazing in providing loving high quality care for grandma. Wendy R was compassionate and kind when grandma was ranting and raving and lashing out against the family and ER staff. Eileen A, Jill L, Dr Oliaro and the security staff were sweet and gentle when we returned a few weeks later with a broken hip. We really appreciate knowing that we have a incredible place to bring grandma when a higher level of care is needed. We love the respect that is given when grandma is acting out, we know she would be mortified if she had any idea how she was acting. Thank you for all the love and care not only given to grandma but to the tired family as well. We are blessed to have you in our community.

My experience with ED was very good. Assessment, x-rays, diagnosis, prognosis and prescription moved along very rapidly. I was on my way home by 2:30 pm. All staff was mindful and gentle with my injury (fractured ankle). The P.Ac was pleasant and thorough.

We came to the ER for a very non emergent issue. We had the blessing of having Lisa and Wendy in triage. They were so kind to my son, who was the patient. Our wait time was great and we were able to be seen by fast track. The very best part of our visit was the Fast track staff!!! NP Katrina and nurse Shelly were EXCEPTIONAL!!!! My son had poison oak on his face in his ear and in his groin. The care he received was wow worthy. They were educational and kind. The empathy and privacy shown to my teen son I will never forget. They empowered him in allowing him to make choices about his health care. I want to give a HUGE thank you to nurse Shelly and NP Katrina. You two are the very reason that Marshall in as exceptional as it is. We will never forget your kind professionalism. What an asset you are to Marshall and this community.
Thank you from our family!
