Had severe pain and needed to go to the ER. I do not have insurance and heard this was the place to go. Due to the financial assistance available, this place has a very long waiting room in the ER. I waited for 9 hours to see a doctor. That said, sadly there are few places that are in the business of helping people and many places very happy to charge you thousands of dollars for the minimum required emergency protocol. Olive View has a great staff. I saw Dr. Alex Zhornitskiy (Might not be spelling correctly). He was incredible. Took the time to go through every possible reason for my pain and through process of elimination together he was able to direct me in how to care and who to see moving forward. I am lucky I did not have an emergency condition but if I did I am confident he would have found it.
