Do not go!!! If I could give a 0 review I would. This hospital has some of the most disgraceful, money hungry, and insensitive people working for them - plus not medically trained properly.

I went to the ER with my boyfriend when he was experiencing chest pains. When they started taking his blood I felt faint and wanted to go to the bathroom to put some water on my face and relax. On my way there I became woozy and started to wobble. Nurses ran at me and threw me on a bed. As soon as I sat on the bed I felt 100% back to health and explained to them that I felt fine and I was okay. All 5 nurses and 1 doctor repeatedly said no no you need to be checked in this isn't good. After several minutes of arguing I gave in out of fear and pressure. After hours of sitting there they confirmed I was completely fine and just got faint at the site of blood. Even while testing me for several hours they made jokes about not looking when taking my blood because i'll be here all night if I get woozy again. So they knew all along that I didn't have any other condition.

After leaving the hospital i got 3 separate bills from my time there. I filed a case with the hospital saying that i was disappointed that i was forced to be emitted and my case needed to be reviewed b/c the services weren't medically necessary. After a month of phone calls I even spoke with the head doctor of the hospital who said that he agreed and that his staff should not have done that. That their plan of action is to let the person sit for a minute b/c this happens more than 50% of the time. He said he would look into lowering the bill b/c he saw this wasn't medically necessary. A few days later I find out he just changed his mind and said nah you signed a paper saying you agreed to help.

Oh and better yet my boyfriend was released without any diagnosis and turns out a month later had to go to the hospital again (thankfully a real one) and had to get fluid drained from his heart and lungs. Thanks Bayshore! Whatever you do, do not go to this hospital. Not only is their judgement awful but they are just money hungry and will run unnecessary tests to get every dime out of you.
