I get that ER waiting rooms are notorious for their long wait times but 8 hours is just unacceptable. Went in with my fiancee who was having some pain an watched everyone else come and go in the waiting room over the next 7 hours. Finally we decided to leave and go someplace else in the morning as it was now 2:30 AM. Upon telling the check in staff this they were worried to let her leave as they thought her pain could be serious so they finally had her come into see a doctor. Only for us to wait in a waiting room for another hour! Again I went up to a nurse asking for how much longer as we don't mind coming back at this point and they said as soon as possible. Finally the Doctor saw us and we finally left around 4 AM. Clearly it wasn't that much of a priority for them and the fact they wanted us to stay is very unprofessional. Will not be going back,
