I decided to come in for kidney stone pain after writhing in agony for 5 hours trying to decide if it was worth troubling the emergency department for. After waiting about an hour or less I was brought through and given pain relief. I also have a severe muscle weakness disease (SMA) and as a result I am not very mobile. The staff were very accommodating, allowing me to sit on an elevated bed (I can't stand up from regular seating) for the remainder of my wait instead of the tall chair I had to bring. I attend a lot of medical appointments and have seen many rude and pushy staff but I am grateful to be able to say everyone I dealt with in the Noarlunga ER was friendly and professional.
