Service has decreased. I was looking forward to changes and the new but nope. Unfortunately, they picked the wrong management for healthcare setting. I will not go to Laurel Regional if my life depended on it. I could be next door and I'll still drive to Howard community hospital since that's the next closest place. At least they do give customer service, apologizes, and make corrections. Dr. Vega is no good and some of the ED doctors as well. Service has decreased.

Horriable experience. I went to the hospital for bad stomache pain and extreme lower back pain. I thought something was very wrong, the pain was so extreme. The staff first of all was not welcoming and was rude. It took me an hour in the waiting room with no one infront of me, 1hr and 1/2 to even be seen by Dr. Lakew! He didn't even examine me at ALL, but then told me I was perfectly healthy. He pushed the issue that I was pregnant. Which would be impossible. Well obviously I was not okay! Dr. Lakew tried to send me home without even so much as an x-ray or CT scan. It took almost 2 hours to even receive any type of pain medications. Finally at discharge I had to wait for my nurse to stop chit chatting with the co-workers (another hour later) so she could remove my IV and I could leave. For extreme pain they gave me... Mortin! So to me they must have thought I was lying about the whole situation. The rooms were dirty, the staff was not friendly and the doctor was not accurate and rude! After a second opinion, I had a severe UTI and a Severe kidney infection!
