Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital Not a hospital at all, but a refuge for incompetent osteopaths Ripoff Cuyahoga Falls Ohio
This "hospital" does not really even qualify as a neighborhood clinic. There are at least 5 or 6 other REAL hospitals and emergency rooms in the Akron area-- go to ANY one of them no matter how much further they are from you.... particularly in the event of an emergency.
It is a long known fact that this "hospital" was a last resort for people with no or little insurance coverage. The emergency room is staffed by incompetent osteopaths instead of real MDs. Why? Because osteopaths are simply people who couldn't get into a real medical school, and thus can be payed much less than MDs.... saving the "hospital" millions in operating costs at the expense of your health!
My health was ruined by this pathetic excuse for a "hospital", along with many other horror stories I've heard about. Don't take that risk of letting it happen to you too!!

Cuyahoga Falls (Ohio) General Hospital has always done a reasonable job for me

I've been a patient at Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital on several occasions since 1998 and found their care to be about the same as other Akron area Summa Health System Hospitals that I've received treatment. I've been a patient at Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital for Pulmonary Emboli(sp) "throwing Clots", Heart Attack and collapsed lung(3 times). Was everything perfect - no. But it wasn't perfect when I went to the other larger hospitals either.
As I understand, Osteopaths (DO's) have exactly the same training as M.D.'s and then get more training on holistic type issues. There are both Osteopaths and M.D.'s at most hospitals. (I also had concerns about this several years ago & checked into it.)
I am sorry that those who wrote in had bad experiences, but I believe you can have that at any hospital.
As far as the accounting / billing department - every hospital I've ever been to has been a pain in the butt.
