Dedicated to Quality
We appreciate hearing from our patients. Here are examples of what our patients are saying about the services we provide.
I was very pleased with my experience in the Emergency Department at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center. I was very impressed from the moment I walked in the door and was surprised to get in and out within 40 minutes. Everyone was very professional and caring, and Dr. Guerrant apologized that I had to wait to be seen. I was referred to a vascular surgeon and was very glad that Ephraim McDowell now has one on staff. Thank you for your care.

Just wanted to let you know how grateful my husband and family are for your new Cath Lab. Late on August 18, Dan had a heart attack. Thanks to Dr. Eric Guerrant and the new Cath Lab team, they were able to get to him quickly and save him from any damage! They did put in one stent and after a few days he was home! He will be back with us as good as new! I hate to think what could have happened without the early intervention. Your doctors and nurses are caring and wonderful.
Thank You!
