Although there are hospitalists and ER doctors at CVMC I'd rate a 1 star, zero if I could, I'm more grateful to the doctors that treated me professionally and seemed to actually care about my overall well being. Not if I was just going to live or not.
I've gotten care there numerous times, due to fistulas and abcesses. My last visit was 9/11/19. I went in for a painful abcess. Dr Mclaughlin was the ER doctor that night. He assessed me, asked me questions, told me what was going to happen so that I understood and didn't have to wonder. I had to ask for nothing. What I needed, I got. The nurse was also amazing, I wish I knew his name. He came in frequently and asked if I was OK and if I needed anything. He was very professional and compassionate. I was just treated like I mattered.
I had gotten multiple abcesses drained in the ER. The first two times I felt like I was being butchered and tortured. With Dr Mclaughlin I felt no pain. He adequately numbed the area. I wish every ER experience for everyone, could be like that. Instead of it being traumatic and painful when it need not be.
I was supposed to be admitted by a doctor I believe his name is Dr Ming. He was arrogant, condescending and rude. I declined and went home. My tolerance for those kinds of doctors after being chronically for years is zero.
A couple more shout outs to amazing doctors at CVMC, ER Dr. Tonini and hospitalit's Dr Phan and Dr Thai. I or my mom have gotten excellent care from them.
