Alta Vista Regional Hospital

I am a former employee. ICU, And ER. Where do I start. The ER and ICU director, a Naval Reserve Officer, from Utah, would lie about his meetings, supposedly to go back to Utah every weekend. I am an RN, and a retired Marine. It doesn't work that way. He was really spending the time, " shacking up," with a divorced ER nurse who had a juvenile child in her house. And the Lt. Commander was married! This was a violation of military law, because the military considers it adultery. I reported him to administration, and the Navy, and the next day, he was gone. Why did they hire this dirt bag in the first place. He was absent when the ER and ICU needed direction. If I hadn't have known what was going on, he would probably still be there.

Never picks up the phone to make appointments, continuously getting sent to voicemail. If you’re ever planning on visiting this OB/GYN office I recommend to go somewhere else.

Beware Do not go to this hospital. They will harm you more than help you go to Santa fe. Nm ..hospital is like a giant penthouse. Doctor.s having affairs with nurses ..bthey have there play time in morning before getting to there patents I live near hospital and hear the helicopter take patients out to teal one ..cause doctors can't provide any medical help ,I waited two .Tree hours .Got tired of waiting .Got on car. Left to Santa fe got there 45 min .Seen right away and was on my way back. With. Meds and help I needed ..do not go to this place they hire doctors that did wrong in other hospitals or been fired. Or order to resign

The wait times are very long even when there is no line. They are also known locally by most people as the hospital you go to, to die, rather then get treated/cured. It has the nickname of Hasta la vista

Had surgery to remove a umbilical hernia, from the time I checked in to the time I left I felt very comfortable with the nurses and the staff that was helping with my procedure. They were all very friendly and willing to keep me comfortable as they went about there jobs.Every thing was explained to me as to what was going to happen step by step. To keep a long story short I was very pleased with the service.
