| - Good Samaritan Trauma Center, Emergency 1111,East McDowell Road Phoenix----------------Unless you are truly dying and bleeding profusely, I would recommend not going to this hospital for general emergency care. That is unless you don't mind waiting to see a doctor for up to 12 to 15 hours from the time you register into the Emergency Help Desk for your Flu or sprained ankle....
I am not a local here in Arizona, so whenever I need to get medical attention, I need to go to Emergency at any hospital for medical care (according to my current insurance policy). So I scr*wed up and chose to go to this one at 3pm for Diarrhea I had over four days straight. My stomach was aching, I had a fever, I was light-sensitive...
It was at 1am the next morning before I saw the Doctor-On-Duty....Why? Because they take the most serious cases first ie: heart attacks, gun shot victims, etc.,,, So I rated way low on their priority list...So did the 40 other people or so with me...So it was a long and gruesome wait in the Emergency Waiting Area.
Let's talk about the Emergency Waiting Area! The decor---Looks like you need to be next to hopeless to sit in any of their chairs---The chairs are worn out to pieces, sticky from the previous squatter's sweat and who knows what else, and not all the chairs are leather-like, but have cloth upholstery (meaning microscopic bugs and such can be easily transmitted onto your clothing!---Yuck!) The floor is littered with semi empty bottles, dirty wrappers from candy and such, and left-over clothing articles and toys from previous patients waiting.....ewwe* There are vending machines to grab your dollars as you wait, no complimentary coffee or tea, as I might see in other hospitals....There are water fountains to quench your need for processed public water! The walls are plainly painted and old...Two 13 inch TVs on opposite ends of the waiting area so that you won't miss Dr. Phil or your favorite episode of COPS!...ac-hum*
Once you get past the golden arches of the waiting room doors into the inner-sanctum of the medical center, you are three quarters of the way to getting the H*ll out of there! You see the doctor, he or she reviews your symptoms and then hopefully you are out within a couple hours after tests and a re-review from the doctor.... finally got out at 2am that next morning.
I give this Emergency Trauma Center one star for being there---That's it!----the best of health to ya!
PS....They take any major credit card you want to spend on!
