I threw my back out a day and a 1/2 ago, and it only got worse. When I realized I couldn't even standup or walk anymore, I knew I needed to go to an ER. Since I was at home, I had time to make sure I found a place that was in-network with my insurance, and I had time to read reviews. The ER closest to me had terrible reviews, so I decided to check a couple other places.

Avista had great overall stars, but when reading reviews there were a lot of good ones, but some not so good ones too. That's why I think it's important that I describe my experience.

They were great. From the front desk to the nurses, the doctor and the X-Ray technicians, everyone was super friendly and helpful. I had no wait at all. None. Went in, started filling out the paperwork, and the nurse came and got me while I was still writing my name. It was seriously that quick.

I wouldn't say I have a lot of experience, but compared to my other emergency room visits (appendix when I was 24 and torn meniscus /knee when I was 35) this one gave me nothing to complain about, and only good things to say.
