Wonderful - professional caring staff. I was treated with…read morerespect and kindness. What impressed me the most is the follow-up by the Doctors. and nurses. The downside ( which is not the fault of the staff) is the wait time. 4 to 5 hours, if you're lucky. So many people needing to use the ER as their primary care. My heart goes out to them. I wish there was a better alternative.

I had thoracic lung surgery for a case of Empyema back in 2023. Dr Canvasser performed the surgery…read more He should stick to heart surgery. He radically invaded my pleural cavity using a chest spreader breaking 3 ribs, and didn't evacuate all the bacterial infected fluid. There was NO pain management addressed after I was released, as well as NO proper antibiotic management (He prescribed a Z-Pack!!) So, recovering back in Las Vegas, the bacterial infection came back! (Shocker!) and I luckily had a strong and reputable team here at Dignity Hospital perform the surgery with robotic arms, and they flushed the area properly, which should have been done by Canvasser! Also, the team kept me on a 30-day, PICC line IV administered powerful antibiotic to assure the bacteria was eliminated. Wow... I could have died, if left alone and not treated again. Shame on the surgeon, shame on the lack of attention to getting the proper antibiotics administered and releasing me without a plan of follow up. Wow!

I've missed work being sick with my colitis. They don't care. They don't want us better to all of you who choose them as a doctor you're writing your own death certificate if you keep going to see them. You will get so sicker with your Crohn's or colitis. You will never heal. Find another doctor get out. Save yourself. Do not under any circumstance keep seeing them. The doctors are quacks the office can't do their job from a patient who's been suffering they don't care they want me to suffer more and more. I give them a zero rating if I could, they are the worst out of all the doctors I've ever been to. They're the most uncaring and the most dysfunctional office. Don't go please if you value your health don't go. Rant is over!!!!

He ran test and then he found out that she had cancer so they removed her uterus and then she was hospitalized a few days for that went home and then She started bleeding we didnt know from where we went go to the emergency severAl more times AND KEEP IN MIND DR. TAMMELA TOLD HER SHE WAS CANCER FREE AND SHE WAS SO HAPPY SHE CRIED!! Her granddaughter cried and her son was happy her great grandkids were happy. JUST TO BE BRUTALLY LET DOWN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER after they did the removal of the uterus and then she kept bleeding and then it was at the ER that a bunch of specialist came and looked at her and saw her and I asked them could it be cancer and the young doctor that was there said yes they were afraid the cancer occupied the urethra and the bladder And she ended up dying about three months later. The emotional distress my grandma and family suffered due to the half ass job everyone did was EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE and now we have to live with the regret we have trusting these drs my grandma was assigned while they live on and make crucial mistakes on other people , about three months after cancer made itself known again ( I would say came back but it never left )she was in the emergency room and Marian Hospital too couldn't tell the difference between infection, cancer and strokes, and I was begging them for an MRI to see if she was having strokes because she became unresponsive for about three days when I finally saw the doctor again and he said no, it's just a sign of the infection Don't worry about it towards the end when she was not waking up not opening her eyes talking moving anything They finally did a CT scan or MRI and said that she's had about 15 strokes and then we had to make her comfortable and she died. I would recommend going to a different city with different specialists or different doctors to deal with any type of cancer or disease because unfortunately, both my grandparents died over there for things that could've been prevented. Should they have been in a different city. We understand that cancer has a mind of its own but the neglect she received and preventative measures and tests or double checking she didn't recieve is unacceptable so if you want to go through this or put your loved ones through this GO AHEAD!
