What reviewers say

83% Positive sentiment
based on 1,715 reviews

The 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital provides round-the-clock critical care, surgical services, and internal medicine support. The facility is equipped to handle urgent trauma, poison ingestions, and complex internal medicine cases. Private rooms are available for families during end-of-life care and euthanasia services. While many families experience prompt triage, compassionate support, and clear explanations from the medical teams during stressful situations, others encounter significant wait times, high emergency pricing, and communication challenges regarding treatment estimates.
