Emergency happiness: Our New E.R. is open!
It’s not easy to make people happy during a medical emergency. But our doctors and nurses find a way. In fact, our patient satisfaction scores rank our E.R. among the most highly rated in the nation.
Our E.R. is staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians. Even better, you won’t wait long to see them: our door-to-doctor time averages less than 15 minutes. We’re the only E.R. in the area that can say that.
