Reviews of Lincoln County Medical Center (Hospital)

Dale Reinhardt

We arrived in Ruidoso from Louisiana with me have ing the flu. Looked for an urgent care and is none to be found. We figured here we go with an emergency room being our only option .Prepare for a long unpleasant evening. We were pleased by the friendliness of office staff,nurses and doctors. They had me tested and seen by the doctor and medications prescribed in less than 2 hours not bad at all for a small town.

Staff very friendly and efficient. I was in there for barely over an hour and everything was explained to me each step of the way. Clean rooms also.

Worst emergency room experience I have ever had and I have visited there many times. Also, family members have been treated there. Nurse Practitioner basically asked why I was there and when I told her a sinus infection, she then stated that they did not treat sinus infections there. Where does a Nurse Practioner get to decide this? I was there to see a Medical Doctor not a Nurse Practioner. She neither examined me nor attempted to address any issues I was having. Will definitely reconsider ever visiting this emergency room again or other Presbyterian facilities. Very poor medical care. In addition, I was not even done being told that they could not treat me when the admissions person started hounding me about payment. I do intend to address this issue with billing administrator.

The Male doctors are creepers on woman. They never get it right. I would rather go to a witch doctor or die than to ever go again. And they are racists towards Hispanics not just saying that.

Shawna Arnold

Amazing experience. Staff and physicians were all professional yet compassionate. We actually live in Texas but may make the trip here for medical.

Well if an infection on your forehead isn't enough then maybe cut off your head then they might help.Doctor looked at me as a waste of time and didn't even look at what wrong! Sorry for wasting 3 minutes of a nurses time and 1 minute of a doctors.

Not good at all, this people are evil, expect surprising bills, they won't do their job like they should.

Rude staff. This was my first time here and my fiancé came in with a cut hand, needed stitches. I had asked one lady, after waiting 4 minutes at her window, not even busy, where he might be and she gave me attitude and rolled her eyes and had pointed me towards my direction acting like I should have known. So I went to the door she had told me to go to, pressed the button that had said “please ring only once” and waited there for 8 minutes! Rung it another time waited 3 minutes. My 3rd ring they had finally opened the door, I asked them where my fiancé was and she told me to take a seat, said he’ll be out soon. Which he wasn’t, took another 2 hours for him to come out. And that was ALL she had said to me and then proceeded to ROLL HER EYES as well while she shut the door behind her. Very disappointed. You would expect someone with a medical license to know how to treat people. OH and to top it all off when I got into the center, looking for my fiancé a male nurse followed slowly behind me for awhile until I realized it and sat down at some place where others were sitting. He then proceeded to turn around and act like he was going to a certain room. Creepy men and rude women? Good combination! Can’t wait until I get back to my city!!

You never want to go to the hospital while on vacation but when you do this was a great option. The staff was very friendly and comforted my son when in need.

Don't go here! $584 for an office visit! No x-rays no anything but an office visit of 30 minutes! Additionally, doctor does not listen to your explanation of symptoms, just wants to run tests that you have already had done by other physicians and that have shown nothing! What a total rip-off!

Marilyn Dierikx

I am here for problems after a endoscopy, I. Could not eat or drink I have gotten good help but doctor who did endoscopy won't be here till tomorrow. Help has been good

Helen mann

Staff is rude and slow, my sister and had waited for over an hour to just get a room. When i had asked how much longer i was told it was none of my business and the doctor will see us when he see us, i would not recommend this place to anyone you have a better chance somewhere else..

Cindy Pierce

Very courteous and helpful. I spent just a couple of minutes in the waiting room. They were clearly professionals, knowledgeable and interested in their work.

Sandra Reinhardt

We arrived from Louisiana and my husband had the flu. We immediately went to the emergency room, we met the most delightful receptionist who took great care of him. Everyone from there on were so nice and it was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this emergency room.

Close by just in case.. .

As a person who lives in California, I was calling to inquire about my father, who was a patient in the ICU. I called no less than 6 times, and the phone rang for over 7 minutes each time, with no one answering. I spoke to the house supervisor twice, and was told that there were only 2 nurses and no secretaries in the unit. My father's neighbors were able to speak with him, but my sister and I were denied that privilage. Both our calls were ignored, for over 3 hours. I hope my father received good care, but as family, I was extremely upset and could not say if the care he received was good or not as I was not able to speak to him or the nurses. Latest call over 10 minutes with no answer. If I could give less than 1 star, I would!

Vanessa Hays

We used this hospital over the weekend for an accident that happened with our youngest. They were very fast in seeing her, friendly, and kept us informed of any new information. The dr and staff seemed very sincere in their care. We were very pleased overall with the care she received there.

Susan Warren

Staff is rude inconsiderate, sitting around chatting in er too busy to let family know what's going on. No one here ever knows what is going on and never fixes anything will end up having to go to Gerald Champion in Alamogordo.

Nikki Gonzales

Brought my mother here as it was the only area hospital. Everything they said they would do they did not. And it took longer then it should have to do everything. My husband and I are medical professionals and we understand the demands of the medical field. For the volume this ER sees they have no clue how to care for simple things. Will be happy to see our physicians back home and get her cared for.

Brandi padilla

Decided to use this hospital for my labor and delivery.... was told they were very good. WRONG ... the minute I stepped into the hospital in active labor I wanted to turn around I cried immediately from being treated poorly. The older lady nurse was EXTREMELY rude to me, my husband and my 12 year old daughter. I couldn’t believe how poorly they allow there staff to treat women in labor all the way to the end she was rude, talked down on me, treat my whole family like junk. Then I get to my room and then I get nothing but harassment from the doctor of my baby and the nurses on staff.... telling me one thing and two hours later saying a whole other thing. What a horrible and traumatizing experience from this hospital as well as my babies doctor... I will definitely be filling a complaint and going to the board of directors about how me and my family were treated. Save the trip people go to Alamogordo or Las Cruces.

Rosy Ortiz

Extremely rude staff. From the time we arrived to the hospital to the discharge. Receptionist was quite rude and pushy, didn’t allow us to sign in until she was done with “her work”. Nurse was highly unprofessional & definitely uncompassionate. This is not the first time I have been treated so poorly but it’s definetly the last!

Melody Arnold

I found the entire staff efficient, friendly and caring. Since I had to be hospitalized on vacation anyway I found this facility a pleasant experience.
