“I would definitely recommend Fayette Medical Center. My experience from start to finish in Outpatient testing was very professional and the whole staff made me feel at ease. One procedure was a mammogram and the technician was very professional and kind they even had a heated gown!”

“I have never seen such uncaring displayed in the middle of a trauma in an ER as I did 3/7/26 at fayette ER ,where 2 family members and a 3 party in the vehicle were taken after a traumatic MVA , where it's was so bad there was talk of flying them from the scene but due to weather they were transported to fayette via ground transportation instead, nothing about any of thier care was professional, …”
