Yes If there were triple ZEROS Avera would be the Hero’s. I honestly don’t think they deserve that. I would never recommend Any Avera due to what our family has gone though there . Luckily my mom is still alive. Problem is I also think some Medicare fraud has been going on their also. My mom has tried to deny going there but they are the only ones that she can go to now. She has tried other places but now after trying to go elsewhere no nephrologist will accept her. For weeks now, she’s been unable to pick the health care that’s best for her. She found out Avera is saying she’s noncompliant with her medications and not cooperating doctors and their medical advice. I can’t imagine why, after receiving two Hernias and having two Major infections why she’s tried to leave...lol. She’s just upset that they won’t give her a referral outside of any Avera.So after all these problems ,other nephrologist but Avera will take her . So to save her own life she’s been forced back to Avera Now 3 times and has to Dialyze with them. She’s requested to everyone she speaks with about her concerns that something fishy is going on there and they won’t let her leave. They even discharged her saying she could have Dialyze at DaVita, recently then come to find out DaVita won’t take her . She had nowhere to go, and went a week before Being Dialyzed again. Which wasn’t good. They blamed her for this. She found out from another hospital that by them releasing her with no place to Dialyze was like them signing her death warrant. And was against the law . She never knew she had no place to Dialyze she was just following her discharge papers. At the time, she was was happy to finally start somewhere else. They had since set her up but of course it’s an Avera Dialysis Center that her husband found with one phone call. so as of to today still no other nephrologist in South Dakota or Nebraska nor Wyoming will take her. and she is stuck with Avera hoping to be given at least one chance with another hospital or DaVita. She’s never seen anyone but Avera. Either they are to lazy to make a Good referral. Or they are scared someone will actually find out something they’ve done to her and they won’t release her because then it my stir up some sort of trouble. I’m not sure, but all I know I I just want the best health care for my mother as does she and she knows Gregory Avera Hospital, in Gregory, SD and Avera McKennan in Sioux Fall, SD. Have been Horrible for their care and cleanliness. Certainly there has been no communication between doctors and nurses or surgeons. And twice now it has almost cost my mom her life. So please take this into consideration when choosing Any Avera
