Reviews are split between a clean, quiet ER and concerns about sanitation.
Some visitors describe the ER as clean and quiet, including one person who said it was the cleanest ER they had ever been to. Others raise the opposite issue, calling the facility unclean and unsanitary.
Several reviews mention getting seen quickly during urgent visits.
A few reviewers say they were helped right away and got through testing and treatment without a long delay. At the same time, not all experiences are described as immediate, so speed may depend on the day and what brought someone in.
Some reviewers report billing problems and unclear charges.
One reviewer describes the billing department as unable to explain what a bill is for and says they still want payment. Another says they are repeatedly charged for emergency-room visits even when they try to confirm the intended rate ahead of time.
At least some reviewers feel they were discharged too quickly.
One account says an elderly patient was discharged to a waiting room and treated like an inconvenience. Another reviewer says they were sent home after being evaluated, then later ended up in ICU for emergency surgery, which they attribute to something being missed.
