I have been once for myself and once for my daughter. Both times we were treated with and dignity and respect. It has been a long wait with my daughter's visit, however it is completely understandable. Other people came in with more severe conditions. When you go to an ER you should expect the doctors and nurses to treat more critical patients first.
I have been coming from London, KY since September for the Excellent care in the Wound Clinic. I needed to come twice a week when I started and I still come once a week. Paula Logue, the team of nurses, the ladies that registered me in, and take me to the back are all top professionals. I have no doubt that without Paula and the nursing staff my wounds would not be healed up like they have. They are so caring and knowledgeable. I would give them a A++ and recommend them to everyone. When you get the Best care for your wounds it is more than worth the drive.
I went last night because I was having a horrible gastroparesis flare up. I was semi delirious from being so dehydrated so it was difficult for me to answer medical questions. The doctors worked patiently with me and found a solution that worked. No thanks to me. I’m very pleased with my experiences here.
