Would not recommend at all. My 21 year old went there, and I drove over an hour to be with her. By the time I got there they were still trying to get an IV in. For her privacy I will not describe her symptoms, however they are not AT ALL something a 21 year old should present with. After 5 hours, someone (who may have been a doctor? he never introduced himself) came in and told us her tests were normal and we could leave. When I stopped him and started questioning him about what could be causing this, his answer "well, there are lots of organs in the digestive area". Really? That's the answer? And for 5 hours she lay there and not once did someone ask her if she needed anything, check on her pain level, ask her if she'd like an extra blanket in the freezing cold room, etc. They didn't even show her where the call button was. As a hospital very close to a college campus, they should realize that some of their patients may be young adults, even teenagers, who don't have much experience in emergency care. They may need someone to spend a little more time with them than 2 minutes here and there. Several nurses were just hanging out joking with security guards at the nurses station. I realize my child was not the only patient there, however I have been to ER's with much higher traffic, and they managed to check on patients in a timly manner and with compassion. That was severly lacking at this facility.
