5/5
We were referred here to the emergency room last night (07/20/24) after going to their urgent care next door for a traumatic injury on my son’s lower palm/ wrist area after a horrifying accident while ice skating. From the moment we arrived, my son was tended to expediently. They sent a registered nurse to assess him immediately to determine if his situation was more critical. They completed his triage and imaging immediately. We were seen in a very reasonable time frame especially considering how overloaded they were and packed to the brim their ER was. When we were taken back for treatment, my son had two lovely medical doctors caring for him. One was a resident and the other the attending. My son was in a lot of pain, and hysterical at the needles and the sutures he needed. A third doctor came in and helped me comfort my son. Holding his hand and practicing box breathing and mindfulness during the entire ordeal. It worked. He managed to calm my son down, and the entire procedure went smoothly. The resident and attending were compassionate, kind and patient on top of being knowledgeable, excellent doctors who were very well trained. The atmosphere was more like a friend or family members home, not like other sterile hospitals. The doctor was with us almost the entire time we were back there. Stepping out only briefly to get more supplies and things he needed. All of them were super kid friendly, and managed to de-traumatize a very horrific experience not just for my injured son but my other son who was also with us and clearly anxious for his brother. Hands down, if I could give this hospital and their medical staff and doctors a 1,000 stars I would. They managed to have both of my sons laughing at the end and smiling, and gave them hugs on our way out. Unlike St. Francis, who ignores you, and didn’t even bother to assess my son after we waited at their urgent care for almost an hour with no end in sight…. This hospital was amazing. We will always choose this network and facility for our medical needs. Unquestionably, I would entrust myself or anyone I love to their compassionate and top notch care. Thank you for all that you did!
