My son was transported by ambulance from Chester County Hospital in West Chester on 8/6/18 with appendicitis (the local hospital felt it best since he s followed by nephrology at A.I.) The attending ER doc and the PA literally poked at him and were ready to send him home because he was not a typical case and said the test he had done was not reliable. After arguing with them they finally consented to do another test...the exact same test that they said was unreliable. Turns out their test also confirmed appendicitis and my son had surgery the next morning. After the surgery the surgeon told us that if they had waited one more day his appendix would have ruptured.

The surgeon, nurses, and other staff that attended my son were excellent! They are the reason the ER drostment is getting 2 Stars.
