I took my husband here for severe abdominal pain and swelling around 11pm. They saw us within 1 hour. Ordered a CT and turned out he had a life-threatening obstruction. We had the tests, results, diagnosis, and in a room within 4 hrs. Dr. Botolin is PHENOMINAL! He had emergency surgery the first thing the next morning which turns out saved his life. After 2 days in ICU then a total of 2 weeks in regular hospital I can say the entire staff - doctors, nurses, food service, lab, even janitorial - are wonderful. For an extremely busy hospital they are very caring and professional. I wouldn't go to any place else. I don't understand negative reviews except to say the medical staff must triage cases and people are seem by severity, not first-come-first-served like McDonalds.
