This is an amazing little Hospital for the size of the town and community it supports. I have been going to it ever since I moved into the area. Its new and clean and they have all the newest equipment and technology. The staff is always very friendly to me, they show that they care and take time to talk to you. The Dr's. always seem to take the time needed to go over results with you and you do not feel like just a number moving through the system. I would have no problem going to this Hospital anytime and would trust my life in their hands. I have yet to have a bad experience. There is some Dr. turnover, but I think its presence is just felt more here because it IS a small community and smaller Hospital, and everyone knows everyone, but staffing change is not obtrusive or actually uncommon in any hospital. The Dr.s they do have are very educated, caring, and hard working to help out the community. As for the town. It's really not as bad as CAROLYN CAMBRIDGE claims--> ( the Anonymous User ) Every town has its good and it's bad, but for a small town it's very clean and very friendly. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, the majority of the population does not share CAROLYN'S.... Melissa Memorial hospital is perfect for this community.

Hands down the worst hospital for both patients and employees. I have been both a patient and an employee at this facility and both experiences were horrid. The physicians are average at most, the nurses are rude to both the patients and to each other, there is no mutual respect for one another in this place. Patient care is nonexistent. This hospital is just out for one thing...money. The medical director is suspended every couple of years for months at a time and his patients are just shuffled around from doctor to doctor. No one wants to work at this dreadful place, so doctors and medical staff are always leaving. Not to mention the billing department is a JOKE. Do not trust a word they say. Get documentation of everything or you will end up paying more than you owe and still get sent to creditors even if you are making your monthly payment. The insurance the hospital provides should be illegal, you are better off getting Obama care. Absolutely nothing gets approved, even if you have preauthorization numbers, they'll find a way to deny your claim after the procedure is already done. Lab and X-ray! So unprofessional. Oh and John Ayoub everyone knows you are a power hungry womanizer. Please, please do not fall into the MMH trap. Steer clear of this hospital, you will regret being a patient and/or working for this facility. And if you are considering moving to Holyoke, beware- the community is full of illegal aliens and drugs. No place to raise a family.

Horrible experience! I went in for extreme pain and was dropping in oxygen levels from my body tensing up. I wanted an X-ray or something because it felt like my insides were being ripped out and they wouldn't allow it because the X-ray technician went home so it was inconvenient for them. gave my Vicodin and sent me home. I'm still having pains to this day. They also have no LDR doctors, their doctors keep quitting and no real pediatrics specialists. I wouldn't recommend this place on your life, all they care about is the looks not the patients it seems
