We have had tons of problems with this hospital. The pediatrician my kids were assigned to wouldn t lift a finger to test anything, treat anything, or write any referrals. My son had a stomach virus that lasted a week and a half, and had peed only twice in 24 hours, and the doctor refused to do IV fluids because my son wouldn t like it. Well nobody likes getting an IV, but when someone is that dehydrated and has vomiting and diarrhea, refusing IV fluids is medical neglect. We couldn t get switched to a better doctor for a while because they didn t have availability, so we had to do a consult with a different pediatrician just to get basic referrals that we needed. I also got sent to the ER with flu like symptoms during pregnancy, /by a doctor in a different department/, and then the ER doctor refused to even do a flu swab, saying it won t make any difference in how we treat you. Apparently being pregnant and having both small children and elderly in the house, isn t a good enough reason to test for flu and prescribe tamiflu if the test was positive. I wouldn t recommend this hospital to anybody, even if you could find parking without having to pay the valet $7.
