I'm rather surprised by the bad reviews. I went to the ER a few weeks back and they took me in immediately. Called my name before I even finished the paperwork. The nurses were very kind. I was admitted and they had to do some emergency surgery. All the staff was very pleasant. From the nurses, the P.A.s, the anesthesiologist, the surgeons, etc... They all went out of their way to explain exactly what was going on, and what they were going to do. When I was discharged, they even called me at home to make sure I was OK. When I went to my follow up appt at the hospital, it was the same way. Polite and informative staff. Very happy with my experience here !
