I just moved here 1 month ago so not familiar with medical services. Innocently drove to Dosher ED because it was the closest we knew.
Let me 1st say the people RN staff etc. Were very nice and skilled.
Had a major ankle injury. Dislocated and broken in 2 places. Pain was excruciating. I think the worst ever felt. There was no Dr. there. 1 hr later he came in said he just got there 10 min ago. Shift change!! What no ER doc there because of shift change???? Still in pain nothing done. Xrays wait, calling surgeon then tell me I'll have to call the Dr. next day but I needed surgery. I'm still not sure what surgery is for. Finally 2 1/2hrs. later discharge given pain meds for 1 day and goodbye.
Pain meds made me ill, I called the following day for different Rx to get me through weekend. Called ER, THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME A DIFFERENT MEDICATION. EVEN IF I BROUGHT BACK THE ONES THEY 1ST GAVE ME. I remained in severe pain, sick thru weekend. I probably wouldn't go to ER there again. Good for routine things like labs and Radiology.
