I've had good experience EXCEPT one time.i had my cortisone shot but the doctor or PA was texting and he injected me but on the 2nd shit he was in a hurry that somehow he missed wherever he was suppose to hit and I couldn't stand up for 15 min. ,and it made me cry and I've been doing these shots for a few years..that was a horrible experience.but other than that they have been kind and dud a good job
My daughter was welcomed well given surgery 30 fibroids removed by excellent Dr Artanos. Yet she was so ready to leave they took care of her well till one nurse decided she didn't like her n didn't care for her properly shot serum I. Her arm instead of vein. Then didn't want to accept her telling her it was unbearable also the supervisor neither came in to check after being told just was lack of concern in that area. Other than that the surgeon and surgery was successful
My sister went to the emergency room at Kaiser in Downey yesterday around 9:45 PM because she was in a lot of pain. A kind-hearted Hispanic security guard on duty at that time gently placed her in a wheelchair and stayed by her side until she checked in. Estella, the nurse who took care of her, was truly amazing. Her kindness, helpfulness, and patience made a difficult situation so much more bearable. I am deeply grateful for their warmth and exceptional service. Thank you so much Estella and the man working security, you guys are truly amazing.
