I will only go to the ER here if I'm desperate; otherwise there are much better choices in the St. Louis Metro Area. I have brought my special needs daughter to St. Joseph with a high fever and flu-like symptoms...nothing to mess around with when you are an epileptic!! And they have left us sit in the waiting room for hours while my daughter screamed at the top of her lungs!! I finally gave up and went to Barnes Jewish Hospital ER in St. Peters, where we were greeted by friendly faces and seen immediately by a physician!!:)
