I strongly recommend you not go to this emergency ...

I strongly recommend you not go to this emergency room. You can expect long waits, rude nurses and doctors that either do not know what they are doing or do not care. There are issues with every visit.

Visited for severe flank pain, nausea and vomiting. Was made to sit in ER for two hours then brought back to a bed to wait another hour for any testing or treatment. After eight hours patient was diagnosed with kidney stones one of which was occluding a ureter causing urine to back up into the kidney,

Visited ER for erratic and high pulse and blood pressure (150 200/100.} Worked up and discharged with diagnosis of palpitations and syncope. The claimed all testing was normal yet not true. Four days after discharge we read the EKG results on Patient Portal and they were not good. Six weeks out patient is still going thru testing related to cardiac issues.

Again visited for high pulse 166 BPM. Claimed it was dehydration. Doctor spent less then five minutes talking to the patient. Only exam was to listen to heart. Discharged with a diagnosis of tachycardia related to dehydration. Never saw the doctor to go over testing or concerns prior to discharge.

Patient has a serious neurological diagnosis that the doctors and nurses knew nothing about. This illness and medications patient is on can contribute to these conditions. They do not care !!

We have decided never again to waste our time going to this emergency room. We will travel to Boston (take our chances on the ride) or go to DHMC. I have ZERO confidence in the doctors or nurses at this emergency room. They do not deserve any stars but I had no choice so I gave them one.
