"Poor billing department- routinely will not submit correct coding for services so your insurance won’t accept it as preventative."

— LocalityBiz (Sidney Regional Medical Center)

"The best hospital we have ever been in. Two surgeries and multiple visits to the cancer center. I am 65 years old and never received better care, the housekeepers, doctors, nurses, occupational therapists etc. all are the best."
