The nurses and doctors are fantastic especially Dr montinegro, Nurse Lora r and Dr boutin.ive spent…read morea lot of time unfortunately in that hospital and they are very good.lora r and Dr boutin and Dr montinegro are caring and actually listen to you and try their hardest to help you.

STAY AWAY. This facility is now a teaching hospital -- but I have no idea what they're teaching…read more Certainly not how to treat seniors with respect, listen to symptoms, or provide basic bedside manner. Instead, it felt like they were teaching staff how to dismiss patients, rush through charts, and act annoyed that people even showed up. I never saw an actual physician. I was seen by an arrogant PA who didn't introduce himself, didn't attempt any bedside manner, and stood with his arms locked and hands tucked by his elbows like he was presiding over a kingdom. He looked down on my husband and me the entire time. I arrived with a blood sugar of 436 -- and I am not diabetic. I'm on high‑dose prednisone for a possible autoimmune disease that is still being worked up. Less than two weeks ago, another ER performed a CT scan. Yet this place insisted on doing another one. I regret not refusing. The "care team" bulletin board in the room was dated September 22, even though my visit was September 25. No one introduced themselves except the discharge nurse -- the only person who actually sat down, explained what was likely happening from the prednisone, and even spoke with my rheumatologist while I was on the phone with him. She was the only competent, compassionate person I encountered. I had stomach pain and nausea, and the PA wanted to do a CT scan with contrast, even though I am highly allergic. His solution? Pump me with more steroids to counteract the dye. I told him absolutely not. He climbed onto his high horse and said, "Well, without the dye we can miss things." I told him I'd take my chances. The monitor in the room wasn't working. A nurse or aide came in to fix it and nearly snapped the entire bracket off the wall. I told him I didn't feel right -- that I felt short of breath and like I was suffocating. I suddenly couldn't speak clearly and told him, "I can't think. Something isn't right." He kept fidgeting with the monitor, said he'd get a nurse, and walked out. No one ever came. The call button was unreachable -- hung on the wall from when they took me for the first CT scan. I sat in the dark as the sun went down. I have partial eyesight loss from a previous stroke, and I was literally sitting alone in a dark room. Someone finally walked in to see another patient and asked if they could turn on a light. I felt like I was in American Horror Story. I am not done addressing this unacceptable behavior. I worked in hospitals -- this was criminal. Their big expansions are nothing but corporate greed. There is zero quality healthcare here. Who is getting rich while patients suffer? Avoid any Novant facility. There is more to this story, but it's too aggravating to continue right now. If you want, I can also rewrite this into:

I have been living here part time since 2016 and full time for about 6 months. It is a challenge to…read morefind a good doctor that specializes in Internal Medicine that is accepting new patients without a crazy long wait time. So I read some reviews about Dr. Sack and Island Family Medicine and decided to schedule an appointment. The staff I interacted with were very nice and Dr. Sack seems like a practical, no nonsense and straightforward guy. I forgot to fast before my appointment so we couldn't do bloodwork today so my visit was pretty short. I'll get back in next week so they can do the bloodwork & check all my hormone levels and other basics. So far, so good. I'll update the review after I see how easy they are to deal with on insurance & copays and that sort of thing. For today's visit they just filed my insurance and told me I can pay the co-pay next week if my insurance requires one.

As a new resident to the area, I needed a doctor right away to refill prescriptions that I take…read moredaily. I never met Dr Sack personally - only a nurse practitioner, but the entire practice seems to focus a lot on pushing hormone pellets to women. First visit hormone bloodwork was done that I assumed was routine CBC bloodwork. Instead my insurance coverage denied it and I was charged for it. They tried very hard to push the pellets (which are not even FDA approved), but I refused - again, my insurance won't cover them anyway. Last visit I went in to get regular refills and again, they wouldn't refill my prescription without all the hormone bloodwork. I left the office without a regular checkup (only blood pressure check was done when I went in), but I was charged the price of a full visit. I cannot recommend this practice.
