Description of service

I paid the cost of $500 for emergency room services. I had to go the the emergency room, because it was on a weekend and my doctor's office was closed. This cost including cleaning of the cut and four stitches.


Review of Service

I had to visit the local emergency room when I cut my finger almost to the bone at work. Of course, I had to wait almost two hours to be seen. Once I was able to get in to see a doctor, he immediately stitched up my finger and prescribed me some pain medication. He did a great job, and I would definitely consider going to this hospital again if I ever have an emergency. I was very satisfied with the service that I received, however it was kind of ridiculous that I had to wait so long to get my finger stitched up.


Tips

If you must go to the emergency room, you should realize that if your case is not considered an emergency then you might not be seen by a doctor for several hours. You might consider trying to get an appointment with your doctor before rushing to the emergency room.
