Horrible experience at this hospital. My father was recently admitted with pneumonia. He spent five days in the hospital and discharged. Three days later he was back in for another five days. He had several more tests, and we waited all day for the results only to find out the doctor had left the hospital for the day. She was supposed to see us to share results. The only bright spot was the nurse supervisor who contacted the doctor (Dr. Vidu Mokkala) and we spoke to her while she was driving. Received results, and then we asked what was her plan. She told us she had no plan. He was discharged the next day, and sent home with no anti-biotics. Three days later my dad was admitted to the hospital again (this time brought in by ambulance). We told the ambulance driver to drive right on by New River Medical Center and take us to St. Cloud Hospital, where dad has not been for four days and is receiving EXCELLENT care. I also spoke to a personal doctor friend who told me to NEVER take your loved ones to New River Medical Center, not even for an emergency!!
