I was feeling really weird ( having chest pains) I decided that I really needed to seek medical attention. So my wife and I got in the car and drove to Banner Maywood, upon entering the emergency room in a frantic state. I was greeted by 2 nurses (male with glasses and female with dark hair) who saw that I really needed some immediate attention. Seeing as though I thought I might be dying I was irritated with the registration process but looking back I realize that it was thier calmness and professionalism that helped ease my anxiety. I felt like I was the only one acting crazy so I was forced to relax.

I felt like they really cared and were very attentive, by the time I made it to the back to my room (which was not long) I was greeted by Erin, she was a real angel. She made everything seem like it was gonna be okay. Her smile, great personality and funny sense of humor almost made me forget where I was. It really matters when the person that your relying on in your most venerable moments, being scared and clueless can make such an amazing difference. I will never forget that experience, one because I thought I was going to die and two because I knew that I was in the best possible hospital with the best possible staff.

I would also like to mention the other great members of the staff ( technician Garrett and Dr. Kevin Stavridis) All were more than awesome. I pray that I am never in that situation again but if I am I hope I wind up at Banner Baywood with my new Healthy Heart Family.
