On an early morning medical emergency in Fountain Hills, in the past, the closes ER was 15 minutes down Shea.
Granted, my emergency this past week, was an absested tooth. The infection was so agressive, within a couple hours after finally falling asleep that morning. I was woken, due to the pressure from my face swelling up fluid from the infection. It was one of those situation, where one doesn't have to be a doctor to know... this was serious.
Nobody enjoys the emergency room Gurnee rides. This is only after the paper push and the hurry up and wait.
I am not one to write reviews(especially for the ER)Let alone a five star rating. The staff was nothing less than the best.
When I entered through the two glass doors. At first you don't see much. Can't help but noticing there's not alot of people around. It was like I was walking into a small town hospital. To just the left is where you begin and "check-in". Where you are requested for ID and insurance card. If first time there, the clip board with paperwork. Within minutes and before I had the paperwork filled a nurse was calling me through the second glass doors.The nurse, that morning, was not only comforting but very efficient and knowledgeable. Next was the doctor. One, that everyone should experience on their own. Perfect fit to the mix Followed by the team of nurses to administer the doctors orders. They didn't miss a beat.
Here is the kicker... My whole experience at our local Fountain Hills ER, took less than an hour from start to finish. I had to stay for most of the day. To continue administering antibiotic to fight the infection and monitor my reaction.
I was released by 2:00 that afternoon.
Everybody is different and how they interact with their situation and the people around them. Maybe it's just me...
I appreciate and respect the staff at Fountain Hills ER. Thank them!
This may sound strange. I consider Fountain Hill ER to be the best kept secret of Fountain Hill
