this place is misleading in what type of facility is. when you pull up there are 2 listings on the sign: mendy's place and children's emergency center. oh! they offer 2 types of care options....mendy's place for normal issues and children's emergency for....emergencies!! the listings point to same place so, ok, they must be housed in same area.
WRONG!!!! but....you don't know this until after your child is seen and they tell you the copay for an ER visit. they quote emtala as the reason for not telling you cost of services/co pay upon entry, even tho its clear your child is NOT suffering from an emergency situation. oh! and the receipt and paperwork you receive also does not reference an emergency facility....but it is. has been for 10 years, but if one's not been here before, how would one know?
the signs are misleading, they hide behind emtala so they can see you and thus process larger claim.
if you're looking for an urgent type facility, this is NOT it.
