Jan 12, 2026 10:15 am Upon arrival I contacted Colleen McDonald and informed her I was concerned my up coming MRI appt was not scheduled. Mrs. McDonald checked for my appt and confirmed I was not scheduled. I explained I was scheduled for my MRI at RRH by my workers comp carrier and I felt It was not scheduled properly. Mrs. McDonald located the necessary documents she needed set up the appt. but further contacts needed to be made to confirm approval. She made a couple calls and got the approval she needed. She handled my problem like a boss. Mrs. McDonald was the best advocate I could have had that morning. She is the real deal professional I was so lucky to have looking out for me. She just happened to have a cancellation that afternoon and was able to schedule me for my MRI that day. Thank you for having such a wonderful person taking care of your customers. MRI Appt: Jan 12, 2026 @ 4 pm. I would also like to add, I completed my MRI that afternoon. I showed up and was greeted by the MRI Tech. He explained everything I needed to know about the MRI and what to expect. He was extremely professional as well. I had two extremely positive experiences that day by your employees. Thank you for such professional service. Mike Myers Ridgecrest Resident.

The people who own and are on the board team of the hospital, are complete trash and have no care for the community and their staff. However the staff 90% of the time are amazing and treat patients with compassion. Since quest closed I was FORCED to go to the hospital. First though ugh. I hate the hospital all they care about is how much money they can get out of me and my insurance. The guy who answered my call was wonderful and helpful and knew what I needed to do for my appointment. He also helped get me the best time to get my labs done so it didnt affect my work schedule. The day of my appointment, the same man was ever so happy and helpful. The nurse who took my blood was so sweet, gentle, and talked me through the whole process. Let me say it was at 6am I was getting these labs. I know as humans waking up to do there job at 530 AM is hard, but to be friendly and happy is also extremely hard that early. Needless to say, I love the draw station staff. Now if we could get the CEO and its board members to do the same. The hospital would probably have better reviews and a more encouraging community that would be willing not forced to support the only hospital within 100 miles!

The doctor laughed at me when I was telling him my symptoms. I believe it was Dr. Shull. There were also some nurses that were making fun of one of the patients they had been treating. I did have a fantastic nurse though. He listened to me very intently and even got a cd from my ct so I wouldn’t have to go through the painful process myself. He was awesome!

I recently visited RRH and overall had a pretty good experience. The staff were courteous and professional. The wait time was reasonable for a walk in and the facility itself was clean and well-organized. There were a couple of small areas that could be improved, but nothing major enough to take away from the overall quality of the visit. I left feeling taken care of and appreciative of the attention I received. Overall, a good visit.

Ridgecrest regional Hospital has changed a lot since I first started going there. I had all six of my children in the hospital. The changes I’ve seen over the last 10 years have been phenomenal. It’s clean it’s pretty and the staff is amazing very professional atmosphere. Patient appeared to be very well provided for.
