    We all need to band together to get issues resolved about the quality of care in Mesquite. We have only 1 HMO physician and Dr. Habib says if you don't like it, move!! She is unprofessional and gives inadequate care. I have talked to many of her patients and they all agree our blood pressure rises and we have panic attacks just making an appointment. Let's DO something about her inability to give quality health care!!!!

    I went to the Mesa View Clinic a month ago to meet my new doctor. The last one is retiring. The new Doc gave me the Medicare yearly, but refused to give me anything but a 30 day prescription refill. My insurance wants 90 day refills. Co-pays every 30 days do not seem logical however that is his requirement. Also, it has been a month and still no contact from him or his assistant as to the lab (bloodwork) results despite 3 calls and 1 in person visit that I made. It would be nice to know the results of the tests.

    Mesa View Regional Hospital has very friendly and caring staff, the staff are great. And I mean no disrespect to them. I know billing has absolutely nothing to do with the staff. It's the Hospital itself, and whatever organization owns the hospital. They're costs are nothing more than usury. The problem is Mesa View Regional is a for-profit hospital. They are in it for the money. They're not there to help you or offer a public service, they are a private for-profit hospital that wants to milk you for everything you got for a minor cut. Stay away from them. Bite the bullet and drive to St. George. DRMC is a private hospital yes, but they are also non-profit. They will treat you regardless of ability to pay and work with you on the bills afterwards. They took care of me when I was unemployed and uninsured and living in St. George. Their Financial Assistance department worked with me on the bills. I am forever grateful for DRMC and Intermountain Healthcare's Financial Assistance program. They are there to help you. I would also suggest maybe driving to Vegas and going to UMC. But with UMC being a county hospital, it's a complete sewer hole. DRMC is a clean, safe hospital and will HELP YOU!! STAY AWAY FROM MESA VIEW!!!!!!

    Mesa View Regional Hospital is nothing more than an urgent care center. Today, July 5th 2015 on a busy holiday weekend it is staffed with only a Chiropractor (D.O.) and no Cardiologist is available. Mesquite is a Senior Citizen retirement community and also draws older tourists for the Casino & Golf businesses. Mesa View has NO CONTRACT WITH DIXIE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, the closest and highest quality full service hospital in area.

    Utah's Life Flight emergency air transport was the 7th air medical service in the United States and the 1st in Utah to be CAMTS accredited and is the only civilian air transport service in the nation certified by the FAA to conduct hoist/rescue operations. Yet Mesa View does not contract with them either. A patient needing immediate cardiac care or surgery for trama will be transported to Rose Dominican Hospital via their medical air transport. Rose Dominican is FURTHER AWAY and also a low ranking hospital according to MediCare & JACHO evaluators.

    These are examples of predatory healthcare system that was designed to control the patient's RIGHT TO CHOOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. Even when a Mesquite resident's primary care MD and specialists are in St. George and connected with Dixie Regional Medical Center, all their Medical Records and family, friends and spiritual advisors are in St. George, UT - Mesa View denies them air transport to the best provider to deliver seamless care and ships them to Las Vegas Rose Dominican AGAINST THEIR CHOICE AND WILL. Why - FOLLOW THE $$$$$. I believe this practice & system is a clear VIOLATION OF TITLE 42 and HIPPA Regulations, and the systems was willfully & deliberately designed this way. Mesa View Administration REFUSES to discuss or correct the situation by contracting with St. George UT healthcare providers, even though Dixie Regional is geographically the closest full service Medical Center.

    SHAME ON MESA VIEW HOSPITAL AND THEIR FOR-PROFIT PREDATORY HEALTHCARE PRACTICES.

    Went to Mesa View ER 6/21, Father's Day. No M.D. available, only a Chiropractor (D.O) and they had NO Cardiologist on call or available. I was told that they would see me then transfer me to a hospital with ER services available. Of course they would charge for this "ER service". As I was there for Cardiac related health problem I said no thanks as that would just delay treatment. I drove to Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George UT, took only 40 mins, and was examined by a licensed M.D. within 5 mins of my walking into that ER. This is a common problem. Mesa View is not an E.R. and only delivers care at the walk in, urgent care level. In is a glorified ECF, Convalescent / Rehab Hospital. It is false advertisement to call itself a "Regional Medical Center" with "Emergency Department".
