I arrived around midnight on 3-2-20 with severe neck and arm pain. Not sure if it was cardiovascular, but worried that might be the issue. The triage staff, receptionist and nurse were all amazing, helpful and caring. They all deserve a 5. The ER doctor, Richard Anderson was the worst doctor I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. He was arrogant and down right rude. He insulted my profession and indicated those in my profession could be drug abusers. I m a police officer with 30 plus years on the job. He implied that I was there to get opioids??? Not sure why, but it was pretty obvious the way he told me he only gives those types of drugs to people with serious injuries, like broken bones. I never asked for drugs, wasn t thinking about it at all, I thought maybe I was having a heart attack. He never once told me this was not cardiovascular. The nurse finally told me it was not a heart issue after the doctor left.

If you don t like people and cannot act with a hint of empathy, get a new job. Completely ridiculous, avoid doctor Anderson if you can!
