I was in an MVA (I was rear-ended), and my dad was a passenger. He had recently had major abdominal surgery, still had the staples and catheter in, and had previously been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). He was transported to the hospital via ambulance. We told the police officer at the scene, the EMT's who transported him, and hospital staff about his AAA and our concern that it might have been injured further in the accident.

Once we reached the ER, we were actually taken THROUGH the ER to the waiting room, where we then had to register and wait for almost 45 minutes before the called us back. It took another 45 minutes to an hour for my dad to get an echo to make sure the AAA hadn't burst and wasn't leaking! 

Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!! My dad could have been bleeding out the entire time, but no one cared. We told everyone we came in contact with our concerns, but no one cared enough to run a simple test to make sure he wasn't bleeding to death internally.

HORRIBLE experience. I would NEVER recommend this hospital to anyone.

I can not believe the total price-gouging this hospital has committed against my family and I. DO NOT GO HERE. I went in because I just wanted to get checked to see if I have the flu. Got the bill in the mail... the hospital billed $3,500!!!!! for that visit. I am still waiting for the doctor's bill which I am sure is going to be $1,500 so total that is $5,000 just to see if I had the flu!! They are obviously overcharging everyone to pay for their new facility.

If I could give this place a zero I would. Worst bed side manners and the slowest hospital I have ever been at. I have been in this freaking room with my husband for two hours and haven't even seen anyone ! We press the call button ask very politely about how much longer it will be till we see a nurse or doctor. It takes them 15 minutes to even answer the call and instead of coming to check if everything is okay she rudely  asks " what do you need" like what!? I need a god damn doctor. Will never come here again !

Went to this hospital, to the ER, a while back due to severe back pain that had been tested by the campus doctor and had been confirmed to be caused by an inflamed kidney. I get frequent and often unexplained UTI'S and this doctor thought I might have something wrong with my kidney that was causing them. I was to go see my regular doctor over the weekend but woke up unable to move my back due to the pain. So I went to this ER. There was a wait, which I expected, its an ER after all. But once I finally got to an exam the doctor told me I was overreacting and didn't do ANYTHING other than press on my back and ask if it hurt. I said "not there, lower, it's flank pain. And he just said ok and said "well we're not gonna do any scans or anything on it because ant scans we do could mess with your fertility and you have your womb to worry about" as if I care more about my womb than the fact that my kidney could be failing? He sent me home with nothing and it cost me thousands of dollars. I did end up seeing my regular doctor who found a bacterial lining that wasn't responding to antibiotics. So yeah, untreated bacteria can cause kidney problems, oops. So I can live without a kidney but not with a slightly decreased chance to birth a child apparently. I wasn't going to leave this review at first, wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but I just recently went back with a friend who needed an xray for a possible fracture and it was another bad experience. she told them "it hurt to walk on it" and they made her walk the entire time. The nurse told her it was tendonitis after her xray showed no fractures. The nurse said someone would come and tell her more about it and what to do. Another registration nurse came and discharged her without them even telling her what tendonitis is. We waited another half an hour before another nurse ran in handed her a packet and was like ok you can go. The nurses were very polite though! They were just pawns of a very broken system. Do not go here.
