Lost Rivers Medical Center

For a critical access care facility I give them 5 stars. They always do everything that they can to problem solve & provide adequate care to patients. Bedside manner is professional. Customer service at admissions is always kind & professional. The care you get here is unlike any of the larger hospitals I have ever been to.

Dont go here for a medical card unless you have perfect health. I have high blood pressure and have been seen here for years. The new DOT examiner there refused to give me a medical card because my blood presure was over 160/ 100 which is high. Normally youd be issued a reduced time dot card so they can get you on better meds or make a change and then come back for check ups but you still get a card. She refused and had me escorted out for asking why she wouldnt give me the reduced card all other doctors have been happy to provide and dot allows. She doesnt know what shes talking about and got rude and defensive when I wanted to show her the DOT rules about this.

My sister was admitted here today in an emergency. She had end stage cancer which was very tough for us as well as her husband. The staff was incredible! Dr. Spencer as well as the nurses, Jenny and Autumn were so compassionate, caring, and professional. My sister, Mom, and I were from out of town, and her husband was completely distraught. They helped us navigate the passing of her within hours of being admitted. The staff helped with connecting us with services for funeral arrangements, etc. Dr. Spencer was so honest about the prognosis, but in a very caring way. Jenny was very loving and kind to my sister although she was completely incoherent. It was a very good experience on an extremely difficult day. Thank you so much!

If you don't know what wrong with you please don't go here. My wife had a kidney infection (which was discovered in Idaho falls) and they told her after several blood and urine tests they had no idea what was going on. They prescribed her a muscle relaxer and told her if it's not getting better by end of next week to come back in. With the severity of the infection She very easily could have been dead by then, at very least lasting kidney damage if gone untreated any longer. They don't listen, they don't care, they don't know what they are doing! If you don't care about your health this is your hospital.

Thank You Dr. Jensen, Dr. Spencer, Brad (the ER Nurse) and all the other wonderful nurses, phlebotomist, housekeeper and essential workers for your complete care and kindness while treating Dave Jensen. The only complaint I had, is that Dave had to wear the same clothes he came in with for the two days he was admitted. I would have thought they would have made him change into a hospital gown. (I'm glad he had comfortable workout pants on). A big shout out to the nice young man who took my temperature every time I entered the hospital. He was very kind and friendly. Thank You Dr. Spencer for calling Dave at home and checking up on him.....that was very thoughtful of you. Bless you all and stay safe. Aleta & Dave Jensen
