5 /5 Nicholas Charles: I sadly had to go into this ER on two different occasions for the same injury. This injury turned into a herniated disc L5-S1 compressing a nerve root. The first time they gave me pain medication, steroids, and things to try to aid in the injury to get me home. Sadly as soon as everything wore off and I completed steroid treatment, my injury came back full force. During the second visit I was admitted to the hospital and it was decided to undergo a microdiscectomy surgery.
If I were to attempt to make any suggestions, it would only be because during my time the hospital was very much impacted, so a lot of my time was spent in hallways, or shared rooms. Obviously it would be ideal being able to be in oneās own room, but I know thatās out of their control. I also really did struggle for the moments in the initial waiting room. With my particular emergency I couldnāt sit or stand for very long.. it was really tough because they only have chairs and not really anything to accommodate me until I was back on a bed/stretcher. It would be lovely to somehow address this for future patients who cannot sit.
However, this is very much a positive review from me. So with that said, The staff that I dealt with treated me with kindness, knowledge, promptness, and overall incredible bedside manner. I really wish I could reference every single nurse, doctor, neurosurgeon - because the work that was done with me, was outstanding. Iām beyond grateful for my experience, and for what I witnessed just being a patient through every process. What everyone does at this facility is seriously one of the most admirable lines of work Iāve ever seen. Thank you will never be even close enough to express my gratitude.
I would feel very comfortable recommending this ER and Hospital to a loved one if they find themselves in need! Thank you Sutter Medical!
