Review of Providence St. Joseph Medical ...

I was staying in LA for three weeks for my husband...

I was staying in LA for three weeks for my husband's work ( we are from Tucson ) and had recently had my third brain surgery .one night when my husband went to work, i began to have severe pain, and dizziness. and was vomiting severely .so i had no choice but to drive to the ER .i couldn't have went to a better hospital! I signed in, and the lady at the desk could see i was in distress and gently held my hand and assured me that i would be ok and well cared for .then in under ten minutes i was triaged and taken directly to a room where a nurse was already waiting to start an IV and send me to CT ..doc came in quickly as well and was such a wonderful man! He was all ears and had wonderful bedside manners. he got my pain under control and wrote me something for the pain at home until i could see my neurologist .and he cared so much about what was bet for ME that he referred me to a DIFFERENT hospital because my condition is so complicated! that truly is an amazing doctor that thinks of his patients! oh, and he checked my blood and said i was low on my seizure meds that i take daily so he went ahead and gave me some to get my levels where they should be.ALSO, i had the COOLEST male nurse too! he really helped me stay calm by talking to me and we actually had a lot in common so it was a nice moment in a bad situation. and when the doc's shift ended, he came in and told me goodbye and good luck ad gave me a very caring handshake ..wonderful people work here! i couldn't be happier with he entire staff at this wonderful hospital! i would recommend them to everyone!
