"This hospital is terrible. Went in with chest pains. Not only was the doctor rushing out the room while he was telling me my results, he said “why you’re having these chest pains?, I don’t know.”"
- TrustReviewers.com"I was medically gaslit the entire time, to the point that I was afraid to ever trust a doctor again. And speaking of doctors, I never saw an actual MD here, only residents."
