Review of TriStar Hendersonville Medical...

My daughter came into the ER with intense stomach pain. They ran numerous tests and gave her pain medicine (fentanyl and dilautid) used a catheter and very long ultrasound which caused more pain. I'm not unfamiliar with tests so I know they had to perform them. Staff was great until they couldn't find the cause. Nurses were very caring. Dr came in at one point when she was resting and commented that she couldn't be in pain if she was resting. She had rested for maybe 5 mins then woke up crying out . This happened several times. I found this to be a bit crass for a Dr to make this comment. Looked at me like I was crazy to think she was still in some pain.I just wanted to know how to help her stay comfortable, Did Not want her taking anything else. They Discharged her and I wheeled her out myself without another word from anyone. SO ...hence the 3 star rating.
