I unfortunately had no other option at the time than to use Norman Regional facilities and their completely incompetent so called Doctors. I've had so many bad encounters, terrible 'professional" opinions, and don't even get me started on a total waste of my time. Thank God that after talking to several others that have had the same horrific experiences I was able to find wonderful and caring okc Doctors that actually took the time to listen and in return was I am on track and doing much better. As for a dear friend of mine that visited Norman Regional ER a couple nights ago will never be able to see he's family again. All due to the incompetent Doctors not being able to remotely find one hint of a heart attack. After the again "so called" Dr's decided to release their patient, he collapsed from a heart attack and died. Just steps away from the front door of the Norman regional ER. all the while every bit of the traumatic experience was right in front of his wife and two small boys. These children will never get their father back due to Norman regional and the lack of professional and actual Doctors that can treat patients not kill them in front of their families! If anything can be said its that Norman regional should be closed or at least taken over by someone that knows how to hire individuals capable of saving lives not taking them at the age of 43. I implore everyone to think twice about entering the doors of any facility owned by Norman regional. PLEASE DO NOT USE NORMAN REGIONAL IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!

This is the worst hospital, the e.r. Dr.s have no idea what they are talking about, they argue that my dads Dr. is not the specialist that he sees him for, they didnt even due blood work on my father that is in kidney failure. Due not go to this hospital they will send you home to die just like they did my brother and he did pass away.

I've lived in the Norman area over 10 years and have had numerous problems with them. My son had an emergency appendectomy where we were grossly over charged. We fought charges for months.He had a badly damaged finger repaired in the emergency room after an accident. We fought many of those charges. The doctor stitched up his finger. Took about 5 minutes. We were there about 4 hours. The charges were nearly $10,000. He needed another minor procedure to fix it properly and we went elsewhere. I had CT scan of my lung through my former personal doctor who is aligned with Norman Regional. The costs were through the roof. I needed regular CT scans for follow-up over the next 2 years. I went elsewhere and I was able to get the same scan done for less than one fourth the cost. I had an acquaintance who fell and hit their side very hard. The xrays were pathetic. They were told that they just had bruised ribs. After several more days of pain they followed up elsewhere and found that they had 5 broken ribs. I wouldn't go to Norman Regional unless I were bleeding out or near death. Stay away from their labs, etc. if you don't want grossly overcharged, too.

I received an appendectomy at this hospital on February 28th, 2014. Dr. Andrew Wheeler did a great job, leaving only small incisions and no noticable complications. However, my 16 hours of aftercare following the surgery was mediocre at best. I awoke at 8:30am in severe pain (my surgery had happened at 2:30am), called the nurse for my next round of pain medication, and she did not arrive until 9:00am. She initially tried to give me a pain pill, which would have taken 30 minutes to take effect. I had to ask her to return that medication and bring me an intravenous drug, which took her another 15 minutes. Dr. Wheeler did not visit my room until 3:30pm (which is understandable, as one would imagine he's a busy surgeon), when he cleared me to leave the hospital. It took my nurse two-and-a-half hours before she came to my room and said something to the effect of "Oh, I'll go get started on your paperwork!". When I complained how long we had been waiting, she suddenly found the ability to finish all the paperwork in 20 minutes. The nurse was forgetful, inattentive, self-centered, and quick to make excuses for why things weren't going the right way. When I asked why I was delivered a liquid-based dinner after asking for a solid dinner, she said "Oh, the doctor was supposed to put that order in" (as if it's the surgeon's job to monitor what I'm being fed!). I was very happy to leave when we were finally able to, and wish that I could have stayed at the Norman Healthplex for my surgery, where I received far superior care.

This er has been the worst er ive ever been to in my life I agree with the other to youll get a bill and little to no actual service I contracted MRSA FROM THEM I had gotten bitten by a dog They didn't clean out my leg properly and Then they didn't staple my leg back to together so now i have a bigger scar then i should have since the staple fell out since theyer incompotent!
