I had a pilonidal cyst that became very bad over a few days and I figured I just needed it drained. So I went to a walk in (I currently dont have a family doctor where I live), but all they could do was refer me to a surgeon, which can take months for an appointment. Since I was in unbearable pain I decided to go to emergency here. I had a fever I did not know about, so they offered me some tylenol while I waited to see a doctor. When I saw the doctor, not only did she examine it thoroughly, she also discussed with a surgeon about getting it removed in case of infection. (The same surgery I would get from a specialist surgeon I had to wait months for). They decided to remove it and got me in surgery 10 minutes later. It amazing coming out of there with huge pain relief, I could actually sit again.
And the whole thing (driving there, waiting room, and surgery) only took me 5 hours.
The staff were great - I have very deep veins so they had trouble for drawing blood and inserting an IV - but no one got frustrated and were still gentle. Best service I've had at a hospital in awhile
One of the best hospitals I have ever had to work with, except the major cities in the area are directing patients to this hospital due to shorter time waits causing grief for local residents. The biggest bonus is that there is no parking fee like other major greedy hospitals.
The care my wife and received during the birthing process and all the care afterwards for the 3 extra days we stayed there was excellent. Staff was all very friendly and keeping informed about everything going on. We were very satisfied with the whole experience.
